围栏条件下母体密度应激对根田鼠 F1代性器官指数的影响

为探讨自然条件下母体密度应激对根田鼠F1代性器官指数的影响,通过在围栏内建立不同密度的母体种群获得相应的F1代个体,以此建立了不同密度的子代种群,并测定了母体种群建群者的血浆皮质酮含量,将建立子代种群后剩余的F1代个体带回实验室饲养.实验结束后,测定了全部F1代个体的性器官指数及皮质酮含量.结果表明,高密度母体种群建群者的皮质酮含量显著高于低密度母体种群建群者;出生于高密度母体种群的F1代个体处于高密度子代种群,其性器官指数显著低于出生于低密度母体种群且处于低密度子代种群的F1代个体,而皮质酮含量显著高于后者;出生于高密度母体种群的F1代个体处于低密度子代种群,其性器官指数及皮质酮含量与出生于低密度母体种群且处于低密度子代种群的F1代个体间无显著差异.此外,实验室饲养条件下,出生于高密度和低密度母体种群的F1代个体间的睾丸指数无显著差异.本研究结果说明,在根田鼠种群中,单一的母体密度应激对子代的性器官指数无影响,但生前应激子代在性成熟后,当再次遭遇密度应激时,其性器官指数显著降低,母体密度应激和当前环境对种群的未来繁殖能力具有耦合效应.

玉米种质资源的抗倒伏性评价及鉴定指标筛选

倒伏是影响玉米高产稳产的主要问题之一。本研究以181份玉米自交系为试验材料,对22个与抗倒伏性紧密相关的性状进行测定,采用相关性分析、主成分分析、聚类分析、逐步判别分析和岭回归分析等方法,综合评价玉米自交系的抗倒伏性。相关性分析的结果表明,22个性状间存在不同程度的相关性。主成分分析的结果表明,前7个主成分代表了181份玉米自交系的22个性状74.460%的信息,其贡献率分别为25.700%、12.369%、9.782%、8.159%、7.782%、5.490%和5.177%。聚类分析的结果表明,当遗传距离为3.5时,181份玉米自交系被聚为4大类,第Ⅰ类群有35份自交系、第Ⅱ类群有47份自交系、第Ⅲ类群有49份自交系、第Ⅳ类群有50份自交系。逐步判别分析的结果表明,175份玉米自交系被正确判别,判对概率为96.69%;6份玉米自交系被误判,误判率为3.31%,这说明聚类分析的结果是准确可靠的。进一步利用岭回归方法筛选出半纤维素含量、穿刺强度、第3节间长度、第3节间直径、穗位高和维管束总面积6个性状,建立了可靠的玉米自交系抗倒伏性评价回归模型。在181份玉米自交系中,以AHU24、e220、7026B等35份自交系的抗倒伏能力最强。本研究结果为玉米抗倒伏种质资源的遗传改良和组配抗倒伏杂交种提供借鉴。     

种植密度与喷施多效唑对冬小麦抗倒伏能力和产量的影响

于2008-2010年2个生长季在山东农业大学试验农场,以烟农21和藁城8901为材料,研究了不同种植密度下喷施多效唑对冬小麦基部茎秆形态特征、抗折力和抗倒指数及产量的影响.结果表明：藁城8901的抗倒伏能力高于烟农21,但籽粒产量低.与低密度（基本苗为180×10⁴株·hm^-2）条件相比,同一品种高密度（基本苗为240×10⁴株·hm^-2）使茎秆抗折力和抗倒指数下降,尤以烟农21表现更为明显.喷施多效唑可明显降低株高和基部节间长度,显著提高茎秆抗折力和抗倒伏指数,增强其抗倒伏能力,提高单位面积穗数和产量.相关分析表明,茎秆抗倒伏指数与基部第2节间长度、基部(1+2)节间长度占节间总长的比例和表观倒伏率均呈显著负相关.因此,采用合理的种植密度并结合喷施多效唑,能够提高小麦的抗倒伏能力和产量,可作为半湿润地区小麦高产栽培的重要技术措施.     

刺槐叶片可塑生长的密度依赖性

为了探明刺槐叶片性状对种植密度的依赖性,通过刺槐田间栽培试验,研究了刺槐叶片可塑生长的密度依赖性以及主要叶片性状因子之间的关系.结果表明,不同种植密度条件下刺槐叶片厚度均无显著差异,但叶面积、叶绿素含蜃、叶片干重、比叶面积、叶干物质含量和叶片N含量差异显著,表明不同种植密度条件下刺槐叶性因子参数的变异较大,刺槐叶片性状对密度的依赖性较强.叶干重、叶厚度和叶片干物质含量均随种植密度的降低而呈增加趋势,叶片干物质含量与种植密度的相关性达到显著水平(P<0.01),而叶干重、叶厚度与种植密度的相关性不显著(P>0.05).比叶而积和叶片N含鼍均随种植密度的降低而降低,表明刺槐各叶性因子之间对种植密度的依赖性差异明显.对刺槐各叶性因子的相关分析表明,不同种植密度条件下各叶性因子之间的相关性及其强弱均存在差别,表明种植密度是影响刺槐叶性因子变异及叶性因子之间关系的因素之一.叶性特征对种植密度响应存在差异的主要原因是叶性因子之间的协同变化、刺槐生长微环境的差异和刺槐间竞争强度的差异,刺槐不同叶性因子之间的协调平衡和对种植密度响应程度与方向的差异表明了刺槐对其生长环境的适应.     

What makes a leaf tough? Patterns of correlated evolution between leaf toughness traits and demographic rates among 197 shade-tolerant woody species in a neotropical forest

Slow-growing juveniles of shade-tolerant plant species are predicted to have tough leaves because of the high cost of leaf replacement in shade relative to potential carbon gain. We assessed the degree of correlated evolution among eight traits associated with leaf toughness and the relationships of those traits with the growth and mortality rates of 197 tree and shrub species from the understory of the 50-ha forest dynamics plot on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Path analysis with phylogenetically independent contrasts revealed that leaves attained material toughness (resistance to fracture per unit fracture area) through increases in tissue density, percent cellulose per unit dry mass, and vein fracture toughness. Lamina density and cellulose content evolved independently and thus represent different paths to material toughness. Structural toughness (resistance to fracture per unit fracture length) depended on material toughness and lamina thickness. Mortality rates of individuals 1-10 cm in stem diameter were negatively correlated with material toughness and lamina density but were independent of structural toughness and cell wall fiber contents. Leaf toughness traits were uncorrelated with relative growth rates. Results imply that material toughness enhances resistance to natural enemies, which increases survival and offsets the biomass allocation cost of producing tough leaves in the shaded understory.     

Quantitative variation of four morphological traits in Drosophila melanogaster under larval crowding

Effects of three different larval densities (low, intermediate and high) on phenotypic and genetic variation of four morphological traits (thorax and wing length, sternopleural and abdominal bristle number) were studied in Drosophila melanogaster using the isofemale line technique. Phenotypic variation was found to increase at high larval density in all traits examined. Environmental variance for three traits (exception was sternopleural bristle number) and fluctuating asymmetry for both bilateral traits were also increased under high density conditions. For estimates of genetic variability (among isofemale lines variance, heritability and evolvability), no statistically significant differences among density regimes were detected. However, the trends in changes of these estimates across densities indicated a possibility for enhanced genetic variation under larval crowding for all traits except abdominal bristle number. For the latter trait, genetic variation seemed not to be dependent on density regime. Generally, two metric traits (thorax and wing length) were more affected by larval crowding than two meristic ones (sternopleural and abdominal bristle number). The Results are in complete agreement with those previously obtained for D. melanogaster using extreme temperatures as stress-factors.

Heterosis for viability,fecundity, and male fertility in Drosophila melanogaster: comparison of mutational and standing variation.

If genetic variation for fitness traits in natural populations ("standing" variation) is maintained by recurrent mutation, then quantitative-genetic properties of standing variation should resemble those of newly arisen mutations. One well-known property of standing variation for fitness traits is inbreeding depression, with its converse of heterosis or hybrid vigor. We measured heterosis for three fitness traits, pre-adult viability, female fecundity, and male fertility, among a set of inbred Drosophilia melanogaster lines recently derived from the wild, and also among a set of lines that had been allowed to accumulate spontaneous mutations for over 200 generations. The inbred lines but not the mutation-accumulation (MA) lines showed heterosis for pre-adult viability. Both sets of lines showed heterosis for female fecundity, but heterosis for male fertility was weak or absent. Crosses among a subset of the MA lines showed that they were strongly differentiated for male fertility, with the differences inherited in autosomal fashion; the absence of heterosis for male fertility among the MA lines was therefore not caused by an absence of mutations affecting this trait. Crosses among the inbred lines also gave some, albeit equivocal, evidence for male fertility variation. The contrast between the results for female fecundity and those for male fertility suggests that mutations affecting different fitness traits may differ in their average dominance properties, and that such differences may be reflected in properties of standing variation. The strong differentiation among the MA lines in male fertility further suggests that mutations affecting this trait occur at a high rate.     

Genetic similarity and relationships of DNA fingerprints with performance and with heterosis in Japanese quail lines from two origins and under reciprocal recurrent or within-line selection for early egg production

DNA fingerprints of Japanese quail male and female pure line breeders were obtained with probes 33.6, 33.15, and R18.1 and they yielded a total of 59 scoreable bands. Bandsharing (0 < BS < 1) was calculated within and between six quail lines of two origins, and under reciprocal recurrent (AA and BB), within-line (DD and EE) or no (PP and FF) selection. Twenty one pair types were compared. BS was 0.30 higher within line than between lines. BS with the control line was smaller for reciprocal recurrent selection lines than for lines under individual selection. Bandsharing between the two reciprocal recurrent selection lines was 0.19 lower than between lines under individual selection. These results indicate that the two selection methods had different effects on the genetic constitution of the lines, in agreement with previous observations made from the analysis of biochemical polymorphisms with the same set of birds. Egg production and weight traits of pure and crossbred progeny from fingerprinted quail were obtained and compared, and a linear relationship with the measure of bandsharing was estimated. No significant regression coefficient of performance on BS was found over all progeny genetic types. Heterosis from individual matings could also be estimated under the two selection methods since the same birds were parents of both pure and crossbred performance-tested quail. The association of heterosis with the difference between BS of parents of the purebreds and BS of parents of their half-sib crossbreds was favourable and significant for early production traits in lines DD and EE, but no relationship was found in lines AA and BB. These results indicate that the high level of heterosis obtained through reciprocal recurrent selection, and the heterosis observed under within-line selection may have, partly at least, a different genetic determinism. Therefore, the relationship of heterosis with BS may also depend on the past history of selection in the lines.

我国不同年代玉米自交系茎秆性状演替规律

茎秆是玉米植株重要的组成部分,与植株倒伏、籽粒产量密切相关。研究我国玉米茎秆性状变化趋势,探讨不同年代茎秆性状演变规律,为我国玉米抗倒伏及高产品种选育提供参考。本研究以20世纪60-90年代65个代表性玉米自交系为材料,调查植株茎高、穗位高、茎节数、穗位节、茎粗、茎秆含水量、茎秆含糖量7个茎秆性状,及其衍生的穗位系数(穗位高/茎高)和穗节系数(穗位节/茎节数),基于最佳线性无偏估计值,开展性状相关性分析及不同年代自交系茎秆性状演变规律研究。结果显示,玉米自交系间茎秆性状差异显著;不同年代的茎秆性状时代特征不明显;随着年代的更替,玉米茎高、穗位高、茎节数、穗位节呈下降趋势;20世纪60-90年代穗位高改良效果显著;80年代左右玉米茎秆粗细育种目标由粗壮型调整为纤细型,可能与合理密植、提高单产的育种目标有关;90年代,玉米茎秆含水量降低3个百分点,下降显著。总之,抗倒伏研究一直是我国玉米育种的重要研究方向,且穗位高改良效果显著,玉米茎节数、穗位节将成为玉米抗倒伏及高产研究中新的重要关注点,研究结果对玉米抗倒伏及高产育种具有重要的指导意义。
