Summary The inheritance of resistance to whitebacked planthopper Sogatella furcifera (Horvath) was studied in 21 rice varieties. Reactions of F1; F2 and F3 progenies of the crosses of 21 resistant varieties with the susceptible variety TN 1 revealed that a single dominant gene governs resistance in Mushkan 41, Santhi, Siahnakidar 195, SM2-34, Tirisurkh 251, Zirijowaian 245, 18, 24A, 39, 76 S, 78, 180, 213 B, 267, 293, CI 6037-4, NP97, S39 JKW and Bansphul. In varieties 65 and 274 A, resistance is governed by one dominant and one recessive gene which segregate independently of each other. Tests for allelism with the Wbph 1 gene originally identified in N 22 revealed that the dominant gene present in all the test varieties is the same as Wbph 1. Further studies are required to determine the allelic relationships of the recessive gene found in varieties 65 and 274 A.  相似文献

The content of abscisic acid (ABA) in bulbs of two Allium wakegi Araki cultivars, Kiharabansei No. 1 (dormant type) and Ginoza (nondormant type), was similar and changed similarly during the development and storage of the bulbs. It increased during bulb development, reached a maximum shortly after bulb harvesting, and gradually decreased during bulb storage. The bulbs of Kiharabansei No. 1 showed dormancy correlated with the change in ABA content, but those of Ginoza did not show significant dormancy throughout the experimental period. The ABA content in the buds of dormant bulbs of Kiharabansei No. 1 did not change after planting of bulbs, but that of nondormant bulbs of Ginoza planted on the same day rapidly decreased after planting. Application of ABA to bulbs delayed sprouting of both cultivars, but dormant bulbs of Kiharabansei No. 1 had higher sensitivity to ABA than the bulbs of Ginoza or the bulbs of Kiharabansei No. 1 partly released from dormancy. These results suggest that the decrease in the ABA content after planting (watering) and low sensitivity to ABA are correlated with the nondormancy of Ginoza.  相似文献

Life on Earth is essentially nucleic acids (NAs) influencing peptide synthesis such that NA replication is favored. It is proposed that the ability to synthesize polypeptides evolved gradually — one peptide bond at a time. The proposed evolution of the peptide synthesis apparatus begins with a transfer NA (tNA) which catalyzes the transfer of activated amino acids to accessible amino groups in its environment. The resulting capped molecules (with single amino acid caps) in turn favor NA replication. The proposed evolution of the peptide synthesis apparatus from the tNA onward is characterized by a progressive increase in the number of amino acids per cap: two tNAs jointly produce a dipeptide cap, three tNAs jointly produce a tripeptide cap, etc. Messenger NAs evolve because they can specify the composition and sequence order of the peptide caps. Lastly, ribosomal NAs evolve. The origin, expansion, and standardization of the genetic code are discussed. It is proposed that the present triplet code evolved by a process of codon length refinement, and that originally codons of varying lengths were allowable, as were unassigned bases between codons. An environmental supply of activated compounds for early evolving entities is proposed. An environmental NA replication process via single template-directed bond formation events is proposed. An environmental retention and redistribution process is proposed to have acted as a functional substitute for the cell wall and cell division of early evolving entities.  相似文献

Oxidative injury and antioxidant responses were investigated in two banana genotypes (Musa AAA Berangan and Musa AA Mas) subjected to 40 % PEG-induced water stress. PEG treatment resulted in oxidative injury, as expressed in increased lipid peroxidation and reduced membrane stability index, in both cultivars; however, greater oxidative injury was detected in Mas. Under PEG treatment, catalase activity and glutathione reductase activity were enhanced in both cultivars, but were higher in Mas. Ascorbate peroxidase activity was enhanced in Berangan under water stress, but was unaffected in Mas. Meanwhile, superoxide dismutase activity was inhibited in both cultivars under water stress, but higher activity was detected in Berangan. Higher ascorbate peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities were associated with greater protection against water stress-induced oxidative injury.  相似文献

Summary Genetic diversity among ten varieties of spring wheat used as parents in a diallel cross was assessed through multivariate analysis (D2-statistics) and then related to heterosis and SCA effects of their hybrids. The parents fell into three groups. Group I contained the varieties, Nobre, Girua and Carazinho; group II contained Sonalika, Lyallpur and Pitic 62 and group III contained Indus 66, Balaka, Sonora 64rs and MSl. The varieties of group I were good general combiners, while the varieties of group III were poor combiners. Significant heterotic and SCA effects for yield and yield components were observed in the hybrids of the parents belonging to different groups but not in the same group. Genetic divergence between the parents had a positive relationship with heterosis and SCA effects of the hybrids.  相似文献

The influence of some macronutrients, especially NH4NO3 and KNO3, on root development of microcuttings from 3 apple scion cultivars is discussed. A reduction of the level of NH4NO3 in the medium from full strength to 1/4 strength significantly increased the percentage rooting of Gala and Royal Gala, but not Jonagold. Further reduction of NH4NO3 level from 1/4 strength to zero significantly reduced the percentage of rooting in Gala but not Royal Gala. Jonagold rooted best at zero concentration NH4NO3. Without NH4NO3, rooting percentages were as high as 100% for all 3 cultivars when KNO3 was provided at full strength. The results show that adventitious roots can be induced on apple scion cultivars by media manipulation.  相似文献

Summary Thirty-one toria genotypes were compared with three well-established cultivars, Ludhiana Composite-2, K-1 and TCSU-2 (standard testers). The genotypes, which were almost identical to a standard tester in response to environmental variations and which also had other desirable characteristics, were considered to be acceptable for commercial cultivation. Using this criterion, TCSU-7, TH-5 and TH-4 were found to be acceptable for commercial cultivation. TH-4 and TCSU-7 were found superior to TH-5 if r2 can be considered as a measure of the agronomical manipulations expected in environmental variations.  相似文献

Involvement of ABA in postharvest life of miniature potted roses   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Exogenous application of ABA (abscisic acid) to intact miniature potted rose plants (Rosa hybrida L.) resulted in deterioration of postharvest quality of two cultivars. Spraying with ABA increased leaf drop and accelerated flower senescence in Vanilla and Bronze, while bud drop was only induced in Bronze. Application of ABA to detached rose flowers accelerated their senescence, indicating that the observed senescence promoting effect was not a secondary response resulting from ABA-induced leaf senescence and abscission. ABA-treatment increased ethylene production in Bronze flowers, while no ethylene production was measured in flowers of Vanilla, or in the leaves of both cultivars. Pre-treatment with 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene) delayed ABA promoted flower senescence in Bronze, suggesting that the effect of ABA is at least partly mediated by ethylene. The senescence promoting effect of ABA on leaf drop and flower life of Vanilla flowers was not counteracted by 1-MCP pre-treatment. The cultivar Vanilla had a low ABA level at all flower stages, while ABA content of the Bronze petals was high in buds, lower in open flowers, and increased during flower senescence. An increased ABA content after ethylene treatment in Vanilla suggests that ethylene, natural or exogenous, can increase ABA levels of flowers.  相似文献

As tested progeny have never been obtained, breeding studies on African yams (Dioscorea cayenensisrotundata) are scarce. We report here the first progenies checked by isoenzyme markers. This was made possible by the choice of well-known genitors [one male (cv Zrezrou) and three females (cvs Sopéré, Dahomey and C 20)] and special hybridization conditions. Six enzymatic systems [esterase (EST), isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICD), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), shikimate dehydrogenase (SDH), and phosphoglucoisomerase (PGI)] were used to check the progenies and detect outbreeding. Despite the small number of progeny, it was possible to provide information on the genetics of the isoenzymatic systems.  相似文献

Delicious apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) and several of its strains, which have been difficult to root in vitro, were successfully propagated with rooting percentages up to 100%. The combination of treatments used to achieve this result included placing the shoots on rooting medium in the dark at 30°C for the first week of the rooting stage, then moving them to a regime of 16 hr light-8 hr dark at 25°C. The rooting medium contained half strength Murashige and Skoog salts plus 1.2 M thiamine HCl, 0.56 mM myo-inositol, 1 mM phloroglucinol (PG), 1.4 M indolebutyric acid (IBA), 1.3 M gibberellic acid (GA3), 87.6 mM sucrose, and 7 g l–1 Difco Bacto agar. Dark treatment applied during the proliferation stage (etiolation) was less effective than one applied at the beginning of the rooting stage. The optimum length of dark treatment during rooting was 4 to 7 days. Increasing the temperature from 25°C to 30°C improved rooting of Delicious, Royal Red Delicious, and Vermont Spur Delicious in the absence of PG but generally had less effect in the presence of PG. Further increase in temperature to 35°C stimulated rooting of Royal Red Delicious but reduced rooting of Vermont Spur Delicious. Transfer of the cuttings to auxin-free medium after 1 week had no effect on percentage rooting and increased the number of roots per cutting for only 1 of 4 cultivars tested and then only in the presence of PG. In general PG stimulated rooting of Delicious and its strains, but had no effect on Golden Delicious.  相似文献

The segregation of seven isozyme marker genes was investigated using eight controlled crosses in almond. The cultivar Nonpareil was the maternal parent in all crosses. Pollination was achieved using eight different cultivars, and a total of 3200 individual kernels were assessed. For each isozyme the goodness-of-fit test was used to test for departure from the expected frequencies assuming Mendelian inheritance. Given a higher than expected number of significant results for individual isozymes, independent segregation between pairs of isozymes was tested using the chi-square statistic on the resulting two-way contingency tables. In all crosses a highly significant association (P value< 0.001) was observed between (1) the AAT- 1 and IDH isozymes loci and (2) the LAP-1 and PGM-2 isozymes loci, which leads to the conclusion that the respective isozyme pairs are linked.In addition, a significant association (P value < 0.001) was observed between LAP-1 and GPI-2 when the pollen sources were Fritz, Mission, or Price, but this could not be tested for the remaining five pollen sources, Carmel, Grant, Keane, Ne plus Ultra, Peerless, because they are homozygous at these loci. If LAP-1 is linked with GPI-2 and PGM-2, it might be expected that we should find evidence of linkage between GPI-2 and PGM-2. The lack of a significant association between these two isozymes suggests that LAP-1 is located centrally on the chromosome. These three pairs of linked loci are the first to be reported in almond.  相似文献

Summary Human gastrectomy specimens, including 48 carcinomas and 25 selected benign cases showing extensive intestinal metaplasia (IM), were examined in detail histologically and histochemically. IM was classified into complete (type I), incomplete without sulphomucins (type IIA) and incomplete with sulphomucins (type IIB). Type IIB was associated with intestinal but not diffuse cancers (P<0.01) or benign lesions (P<0.01). The mucin profiles of IIB IM were similar to intestinal cancers with sulphomucins predominating overN-acetylsialomucins.O-acetylsialomucins were not seen in IIB IM or tumours but were observed in complete or type IIM. These findings suggest a histogenic link between incomplete IM secreting sulphomucins (or colonic metaplasia) and intestinal cancers of the human stomach.  相似文献

DNA-degrading enzymes of 24.0 kDa and 27.0 kDa were observed to have different activities in two common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, Wichita and Cheyenne. A substrate-based SDS-PAGE assay revealed that these two enzymes were much more active in Wichita than in Cheyenne. Genes controlling the activities of these two enzymes were localized on chromosome 2D by testing DNA-degrading activities in reciprocal chromosome substitution lines between Wichita and Cheyenne. While the allele on Wichita chromosome 2D stimulated the activities of the 24.0- and 27.0-kDa enzymes in Cheyenne, the allele on Cheyenne chromosome 2D did not reduce the activities of the 24-kDa and 27-kDa enzymes in Wichita. Whether these genes code for the DNA-degrading enzymes themselves or for factors that regulate the enzyme activities remains unknown.This work was supported in part by USDA-Competitive Research Grants Office grant No. 90-37140-5426 to P.S.B.

Embryogenic avocado cultures were exposed to ionizing irradiation in order to determine its effect on proliferation and subsequent somatic embryo development. The approximate PD50 as determined by linear regression is 35 Gy 2 weeks after irradiation for Fuerte 2.11.1 and 4 weeks after irradiation for T362 2.11.1. Irradiation of embryogenic cultures did not significantly affect the number of early stage Fuerte 2.11.1 somatic embryos that developed directly from irradiated cultures; however, 10–50 Gy inhibited somatic embryo development. Irradiation of T362 2.11.1 embryogenic cultures at 25–50 Gy inhibited the number of intermediate and mature stages of somatic embryos that developed directly from irradiated cultures, and 50 Gy inhibited somatic embryo maturation. Inhibition of somatic embryo development could be partially offset by proliferation of irradiated embryogenic cultures as suspensions. Irradiation up to 10 Gy significantly increased the number of mature Fuerte 2.11.1 somatic embryos that developed from suspension cultures. Irradiation with doses up to 25 Gy stimulated development of heart stage T362 2.11.1 somatic embryos; however, mature somatic embryo development was suppressed at dosages of 10 Gy and greater.  相似文献

The organogenetic potential from callus of three tomato land races from the Canary Islands adapted to semi-arid environment (Salvaje, Rusa and Especial), and one tomato cultivar (Meltine), were examined. The response of four explant types (cotyledon, shoot apex, hypocotyl and root) to nine PGR regimes (BAP at 1 or 2 or 5 mg/l) + either IAA (0.5 mg/l) or 2,4-D (0.5 or 1 mg/l) were measured. BAP at 5 mg/l+IAA at 0.5 mg/l induced most organogenesis in all the explant types for all genotypes. Salvaje has one of the highest organogenetic potentials described in tomato.Abbreviation OP = organogenetic potential  相似文献

Summary The genetics of submergence tolerance in rice was studied in a 10 × 10 half-diallel cross set involving 10 lowland rice varieties, four of which were tolerant (FR13A, FR43B, Kurkaruppan, and Goda Heenati) and the remaining six were nontolerant (RD19, IR42, IR17494-32-1, IR19672-24-3, Jagannath, and CR1009). Estimates of genetic parameters following Hayman's method showed significant additive and nonadditive gene action and the latter appeared to be solely due to dominance. Narrow sense heritability (0.70) indicated that additive gene effects were more important in the inheritance of the trait. Tolerance was dominant over nontolerance and the average dominance was within the range of incomplete dominance. Dominant alleles were more concentrated in the three tolerant parents, FR13A, Kurkaruppan, and FR43B in that order. Wr/Vr graphic analysis suggested the involvement of both major and minor genes. Combining ability analysis by Griffing's method also indicated significance of both additive and nonadditive effects, and the former appeared to be more important than the latter. The hybrids involving FR13A with RD19, IR42, and IR17494-32-1, and those of Kurkaruppan with RD19 and CR1009 appeared to be promising for incorporating an adequate level of tolerance to submergence into lowland rice cultivars.  相似文献

Summary The subunit composition of glutenin was analysed by SDS-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis using two varieties of contrasting pedigrees. Maris Widgeon, a variety of good bread-making quality, was shown to contain 2 glutenin subunits not present in Maris Ranger, a much higher yielding variety that is unsuitable for making bread. A third subunit was only found in Maris Ranger glutenin. To determine if any of these subunits are directly related to bread-making quality, 60 randomly-derived F2 progeny from a Maris Widgeon x Maris Ranger cross were analysed for bread-making quality and for glutenin subunit composition. A strong correlation was demonstrated between the presence of one of the two subunits inherited from Maris Widgeon, and quality. This subunit (termed subunit 1 glutenin) had an approx. mol. wt. of 145,000. It was also found in Maris Freeman, a bread-making variety selected from the same cross previously made in 1962. In further crosses involving Maris Widgeon or its descendants, more bread-making varieties have been produced in the last decade at the Plant Breeding Institute, Cambridge and all but one have inherited glutenin subunit 1. The subunit has been traced back through Holdfast to White Fife, a Canadian hard spring wheat of excellent breadmaking quality. Some 67 varieties were screened for the presence of glutenin subunit 1 and it was found in 31% of them. Several unrelated varieties of good bread-making quality did not contain subunit 1 glutenin.  相似文献

This paper argues against the bicycle pump model of source-sink relationships. It suggests that it is more fruitful to examine the systems which control sink morphogenesis. This argument is illustrated by reference to the cauliflower curd (inflorescence). In any given curd the weights of successive florets (primary branches) fluctuate above and below their expected values. The fluctuations are not due to restricted vascular pipelines, nor to competitive interactions between neighbouring sinks. They are due to highly systematic fluctuations in the timing of floret initiation, and they entail similar fluctuations in primordium position. The phenomenon can be explained by assuming a control system for cytokinesis in which (i) the position of the cell plate responds to mechanical stress (ii) the degree of responsiveness varies cyclically both in time, and around the apical meristem. It seems from this and other evidence that there are strong local controls of sink development in cauliflower.  相似文献

We have developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay that could effectively reduce the time period required to screen and select for Gall Midgeresistant rice lines under field conditions. The primers for the assay were designed on the basis of sequence information of two phenotype specific random amplified polymorphic DNA fragments which were found to be tightly linked to Gall Midge biotype-1 resistance gene (Gm2). The two RAPD fragments, F81700 in the susceptible parent ARC6650 and F10600 in the resistant parent Phalguna, were identified after screening 5450 loci using 520 random primers on genomic DNAs of ARC6650 and Phalguna. These primers, when used in a multiplexed PCR, amplified specifically a 1.7-kb and 0.6-kb fragment in the susceptible and resistant parents, respectively. When this assay was performed on genomic DNAs of 44 recombinant inbred lines derived from ARC6650 x Phalguna and 5 lines derived from other crosses where one of the parents was Phalguna, ARC6650 or their derivatives, the primers amplified a 1.7-kb fragment in all of the susceptible lines or a 0.6-kb fragment in all of the resistant ones. These markers can be of potential use in the marker-aided selection of Gall Midge biotype-1 resistant phenotypes. As screening for resistance can now be conducted independent of the availability of insects, the breeding of resistant varieties can be hastened.  相似文献

In green hydra strains that are bleached by glycerol, photosynthesis is arrested in both intact hydra and freshly extracted algae whereas photosynthesis is not affected by glycerol in resistant hydra strains and their algae. Glycerol sensitivity is an inherent property of the algae and sensitivity can be transferred to resistant aposymbiotic hydra by infecting them with sensitive algae. It is suggested that the host hydra recognizes glycerol induced changes, other than photosynthetic incompetance, in the algae and either ejects or digests them.Australian Institute of Marine Science, P.M.B.
