Summary Crown position affects winter survival of fallsown wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Direct or indirect selection for crown depth has been little practiced. Reports have suggested that short subcrown internode length was closely related to semidwarf plant height and that semidwarfism was related to poor emergence. This study determined the relationships among crown depth, plant height, and emergence rate index in three wheat populations. The efficiency of evaluating crown placement in the field was examined and additional information was obtained on its genetic control. The F2-derived F4 and F5 lines from the crosses of female parents Daws, Nugaines, and Stephens with male parent Selection 7952 were planted at Central Ferry and Pullman, Washington, respectively. Correlations from each population indicated that crown depth and subcrown internode length were not closely associated with plant height and emergence rate index. Crown depth was a more reliable indicator of crown placement than subcrown internode length. Adjustment of the data for seed depth differences was essential for evaluating subcrown internode length but less important for evaluating crown depth. After adjustment for seed depth, narrow-sense h 2 values for subcrown internode length and crown depth were 0.25–0.41. Crown depth and subcrown internode length were inherited as quantitative traits in phenotypes that expressed variable dominance. Modest gains due to selection for crown depth were achieved.Contribution from USDA-ARS and College of Agriculture and Home Economics Research Center, Washington State University, Scientific Paper No. 7795  相似文献

We studied the water relations of 6 shrub and 3 tree species typical of the mediterranean climate region of central Spain to identify differential responses to water stress between and within species, and to determine if free proline concentration in leaves could be used as a water stress indicator. Predawn and midday water potentials (w) on a seasonal basis, relative water content (RWC), leaf mass per area, foliar nitrogen and free proline concentrations were measured. The lowest water potentials were observed at the end of the summer, with recovery to higher water potentials in the fall and winter seasons. Species differed regarding the annual w fluctuation. Thymus zygis, Halimium viscosum, Genista hirsuta and Juniperus oxycedrus exhibited the most negative midday and predawn w (both less than -6 MPa) with a large magnitude of response to changing conditions in soil moisture of the upper horizon of the soil. Lavandula pedunculata and Cistus ladanifer showed a moderate response. Quercus rotundifolia, Quercus faginea and Retama sphaerocarpa showed a modest response. The w of different size individuals of Quercus rotundifolia and Cistus ladanifer were compared. The annual w fluctuation was greater in small individuals as compared to large individuals. In every species, there was an increase in proline concentration of bulk leaf tissues when predawn w dropped below -5 MPa. Small plants of Cistus ladanifer reached lower water potentials and also higher concentration of proline than bigger plants. Proline could possibly be used as a drought stress indicator in every species except Q. rotundifolia. It is suggested that in addition to water stress avoidance due to deep root systems, some mechanisms of water stress tolerance may operate among shrub and tree species of central Spain.  相似文献

Most of the alloplasmic cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) systems are known to be associated with a number of floral abnormalities that result from nuclear-cytoplasmic incompatibilities. One such system, tour, which is derived from Brassica tournefortii, induces additional floral abnormalities and causes chlorosis in Brassica spp. While the restorer for this CMS has been reported to be present in B. napus, in B. juncea, where the abnormalities are more pronounced, no restorer has yet been identified. Rectification of these floral abnormalities through mitochondrial recombinations and chloroplast replacement might result in the improvement of this CMS system. As organelle recombinations can possibly be achieved only by somatic cell hybridization, fusion experiments were carried out between hygromycin-resistant B. juncea AABB carrying tour cytoplasm and phosphinotricin-resistant, normal B. oleracea CC to generate AABBCC hexaploid somatic hybrids. The presence of selectable marker genes facilitated the selection of hybrids in large numbers. The resulting hybrids showed wide variation in floral morphology and organelle composition. Regenerants with normal, male-sterile flowers having recombinant tour-or oleracea-type mitochondria and oleracea-type chloroplasts were obtained. Hybrids with male-fertile flowers were also obtained that had recombined tour mitochondria. The AABBCC hexaploid hybrids synthesized in the present study were successfully utilized as a bridging material for transferring variability in the organelle genome simultaneously to all the digenomic Brassica species, and all of these hybrids are now being stabilized through repeated backcrosses to the allopolyploid crop brassicas.  相似文献

2D NMR spectroscopy and J coupling constant analysis are applied to resolve the structure of two photoproducts of thymidylyl-(35)-thymidine. These products are cyclobutane type thymine dimers possessing the cis-syn (the predominant one) and trans-syn geometry. The cis-syn is formed in an ANTI-ANTI conformation about the N-glycosyl linkages and resembles the normal base-stacked configuration. The glycosidic conformation in solution of the 5 terminal fragment differs from the crystal in which the less common SYN conformation is observed. In this isomer only the sugar pucker of the 3 terminal fragment is changed substantially with respect to the dinucleotide. The trans-syn isomer is formed in a SYN-ANTI glycosidic conformation. In this isomer the sugar puckers of both deoxyribose rings are affected and a preference for a pure 2-endo conformation is observed.Abbreviations dTpdT 2-deoxythymidylyl-(35)-2-deoxythymidine - dTp[]dT cyclobutane type photodimers of dTpdT - dTp- and dTp[]- their 5' terminal fragments (fragment A) - -pdT and-[]pdT their 3 terminal fragments (fragment B) - RP-HPLC reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography - COSY two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy - 2D NOE two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser spectroscopy  相似文献

Nodal cuttings of D. alata L. Barzo fuerte and Florido, as well as of D. abyssinica Hoch, were cultured in vitro in order to assess the influence of the photoperiod on the production of microtubers. For both species, the highest number of microtubers was obtained under 16 and 24-h photoperiods, whereas larger microtubers were generally produced at 8-h photoperiod. In D. alata, further increase in microtuber size was observed in a culture medium where NH4NO3 was omitted. This effect was less noticeable in D. abyssinica.  相似文献

The conformational properties of the oligosaccharide chain of GM1 ganglioside containingN-glycolyl-neuraminic acid, -Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Gc-(2-3)]--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer, were studied through NMR nuclear Overhauser effect investigations on the monomeric ganglioside in dimethylsulfoxide, and on mixed micelles of ganglioside and dodecylphosphocholine in water. Several interresidual contacts for the trisaccharide core--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Gc-(2-3)]--Gal-were found to fix the relative orientitation of the three saccharides, while the glycosidic linkage of the terminal -Gal-was found to be quite mobile as the -Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-disaccharide exists in different conformations. These results are similar to those found for two GM1 gangliosides containingN-acetyl-neuraminic acid and neuraminic acid [1].Abbreviations Ganglioside nomenclature is in accordance with Svennerholm [23] and the IUPAC-IUB Recommendations [24] GM3(Neu5Ac) II3Neu5AcLacCer, -Neu5Ac-(2-3)--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - GM3(Neu5Gc) II3Neu5GcLacCer, -Neu5Gc-(2-3)--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - GM1(Neu5Ac) II3Neu5AcGgOse4Cer, -Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Ac-(2-3)]--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - GM1(Neu5Gc) II3Neu5GcGgOse4Cer, -Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Gc-(2-3)]--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - GM1(Neu) II3NeuGgOse4Cer, -Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu-(2-3)]--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - GD1a IV3Neu5AcII3Neu5AcGgOse4Cer, -Neu5Ac-(2-3)--Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Ac-(2-3)]--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - GalNAc-GD1a IV4GalNAcIV3Neu5AcII3Neu5AcGgOse4Cer, -GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Ac-(2-3)]--Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Ac-(2-3)]--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer - Neu neuraminic acid - Neu5Ac N-acetyl-neuraminic acid - Neu5Gc N-glycolyl-neuraminic acid - Cer ceramide  相似文献

TheN-linked carbohydrate chains of the-subunit of highly purified urinary human chorionic gonadotropin have been re-investigated. The oligosaccharides were released enzymatically by peptide-N 4-(N-acetyl--glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase-F, and fractionated by a combination of FPLC and HPLC. As a result of the application of improved fractionation methods, apart from the earlier reported carbohydrate chains, also small amounts of trisialo tri- and tri-antennary oligosaccharides were found. The primary structures of the latter carbohydrate chains have been determined by 500-MHz1H-NMR spectroscopy to beAbbreviations hCG human chorionic gonadotropin - hCG- -subunit - hCG- -subunit - PNGase-F peptide-N 4-(N-acetyl--glucosaminyl)asparagine amidase-F (E.C. 3.5.1.52) - endo-F endo--N-acetylglucosaminidase-F (E.C. 3.2.1.96) - SDS sodium dodecyl sulphate - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - CBB coomassie brilliant blue R 250 - GlcNAc N-acetylglucosamine - NeuAc N-acetylneuraminic acid - Man mannose - Gal galactose - Fuc fucose  相似文献

Summary In the progeny of a hybrid between monotelosomic line 3B of Chinese Spring wheat and Chinese Spring — Aegilops longissima ditelosomic addition line G a cytologically stable strain was selected consisting of 20 wheat chromosome pairs, one pair of telosomic chromosome 3BL and one pair of telosomic longissima chromosome G. Inoculating Chinese Spring — Aegilops longissima addition and substitution lines with ten different powdery mildew isolates, partial resistance was observed. The infection grade as well as the number of spores/cm2 leaf area were significantly reduced.  相似文献

The tetrasaccharides GalNAcß1-4[NeuAc2-3]Galß1-4Glc and GalNAcß1-4[NeuAc2-3]Galß1-4GlcNAc were synthesised by enzymic transfer of GalNAc from UDP-GalNAc to 3-sialyllactose (NeuAc2-3Galß1-4Glc) and 3-sialyl-N-acetyllactosamine (NeuAc2-3Galß1-4GlcNAc). The structures of the products were established by methylation and1H-500 MHz NMR spectroscopy. In Sda serological tests the product formed with 3-sialyl-N-acetyllactosamine was highly active whereas that formed with 3-sialyllactose had only weak activity.  相似文献

Gene-preferential oligonucleotide probes were used to determined the relative abundance and half-lives of distinct oat phytochrome A (PHYA) mRNAs. Oat PHYA mRNAs are highly conserved in the 5-untranslated region and the coding region, but the 3-untranslated region has an overall lower sequence conservation and was the source of gene-preferential probes. PHYA3 mRNA was estimated to be ca. 61% of the oat PHYA mRNA pool present in poly(A)+ RNA from dark-grown seedlings. The half-lives for PHYA3 and PHYA4 mRNAs were both estimated to be ca. 30 min, and a similar short half-life was estimated for the average PHYA mRNA. Sequence comparisons of PHYA mRNAs from four grass species identified conserved sequences within the 5- and 3-untranslated regions that might be important for PHYA mRNA degradation.  相似文献
