不同桑树基因型的遗传多样性研究

调查了印度 25 个不同农业气候条件下的桑树(Morus spp.)基因型的 14 个形态测量性状, 以研究它们的遗传多样性分布特点。研究发现在 14 个性状中存在广泛的遗传变异。25 个不同基因型的桑树被分为 10 个簇。实验结果表明 7 种基因型桑树 Baragura-2, Gorabandha-2, Kalimpong, Herbertpur, Kollegal, Resham majri-7 和 UP-14 的遗传资源是重要的。对不同基因型桑树性状的关联分析显示, 对桑树叶片长度、新鲜叶的总量、叶片面积和单个叶的重量这些性状的直接筛选将有助于提高桑树叶片的产量。     

In vitro screening of some plant extracts against fungal pathogens of mulberry ( Morus spp.)

Twenty one plant species were screened in vitro for their fungitoxic properties against four fungal pathogens viz., Phyllactinia corylea (Powdery mildew), Peridiopsora mori (Brown rust) and Pseudocercospora mori (Black leaf spot) by slide germination method and Myrothecium roridum (Brown leaf spot) by poisoned food technique. Conidial germination of P. corylea was significantly reduced in 5% (w/v) ethanolic extracts all tested plant. Extract of Cassia tora and Cassia sophera completely inhibited conidial germination of P. corylea. Other effective plant extracts inhibited >?90% germination were Allium sativum (99.56%), Ocimum sanctum (97.80%), Moringa oleifera (97.32%). Conidial germination of Pseudocercospora mori was completely inhibited in extract of A. sativum and D. metel. More than 90% inhibition was observed with extract of Holarrhena antidysentrica (93.10%), Adhatoda Zeylanica (91.40%) and Calotropis gigentia (90.40%). Urediniospore germination of Peridiopsora mori was significantly reduced in 19 plant extracts. Extract of A. sativum and D. metel completely inhibited urediniospore germination P. mori. Other effective plant extracts, which inhibited >?90% germination were Calotropis gigentia (99.40%), Targets patula (98.96%), Azadirachta indica (98.85%), Mirabilis jalapa (95.50%) and Chromoleana odorata (90.51%). Maximum inhibition (33.33%) of colony growth of M. roridum was observed with amendment of 5% solvent extracts of D. metel followed by A. sativum (25%), Chromoleana odorata (20%) and Eucalyptus citriodora (16.66%).
