Background
Cowpea is the most important food grain legume in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, no study has so far assessed rhizobial biodiversity and/or nodule functioning in relation to strain IGS types at the continent level. In this study, 9 cowpea genotypes were planted in field experiments in Botswana, South Africa and Ghana with the aim of i) trapping indigenous cowpea root-nodule bacteria (cowpea "rhizobia") in the 3 countries for isolation, molecular characterisation using PCR-RFLP analysis, and sequencing of the 16S - 23S rDNA IGS gene, ii) quantifying N-fixed in the cowpea genotypes using the 15N natural abundance technique, and iii) relating the levels of nodule functioning (i.e. N-fixed) to the IGS types found inside nodules. 相似文献2.

Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata L. (Walp)] is grown mainly for its protein-rich grains and is consumed in various forms in sub-Saharan Africa. Average grain yield in farmers’ fields is generally low due to a number of biotic and abiotic stresses. One hundred and six cowpea accessions from Ghana, which had previously been evaluated for seedling drought tolerance, were used for this study. This paper attempts to use three multi-locus PCR-based molecular markers; simple sequence repeats (SSR), inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP) and retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymorphisms (REMAP), to analyse genetic diversity in the cowpea accessions. Analysis of the polymorphic bands data indicated that 101 alleles were amplified among 121 cowpea genotypes (83.4%) from 16 SSR primer pairs out of a total of 30 SSR primer pairs. Likewisely, a total of 66 (54.5%) polymorphic bands were obtained from IRAP and a total of 114 (94.2%) highly polymorphic bands obtained from REMAP analysis. The outcome indicated the highly polymorphic nature of the DNA markers, as small groups of these molecular markers were found to be able to identify each of the accessions used. Microsatellite markers (SSRs) and retrotransposon-based markers, like IRAP and REMAP, were found to be highly polymorphic and informative, suggesting that genomic fingerprinting has a major role in characterizing populations. 相似文献

A greenhouse experiment was carried out aiming to evaluate the response to drought stress of cowpea nodule enzymatic activities
during different plant developmental stages leading to biological N2 fixation. Stress was applied by controlling soil’s water-potential through a porous cup. Cowpea plants cv IPA 205 were grown
in pots with yellow latosol soil under three different matric potential (ψm) treatments. Even with high evaporative demand and limited soil water availability, cowpea could not induce an extremely
low leaf water potential (ψw). Sap ureides concentration in cowpea declined during the drought stress period. There was a decline in enzyme activity in
the metabolic pathways concerned with N2 fixation: NADH-dependent glutamate synthase (EC 1.4.1.14), glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase
(EC 4.1.1.31). In contrast, an increase in glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.4) was observed as the ψm declined. Metabolism associated with N2 assimilation was impaired every time that the ψw was reduced below −0.73 MPa as had happened in the stressed treatments. The stress applied by the porous cup was gradual
and the plant recovered its turgor, avoiding permanent deleterious alterations in the cellular metabolism, even from a limited
cowpea-growth ψm. 相似文献

Key message
This is the first report on association analysis of salt tolerance and identification of SNP markers associated with salt tolerance in cowpea.Abstract
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is one of the most important cultivated legumes in Africa. The worldwide annual production in cowpea dry seed is 5.4 million metric tons. However, cowpea is unfavorably affected by salinity stress at germination and seedling stages, which is exacerbated by the effects of climate change. The lack of knowledge on the genetic underlying salt tolerance in cowpea limits the establishment of a breeding strategy for developing salt-tolerant cowpea cultivars. The objectives of this study were to conduct association mapping for salt tolerance at germination and seedling stages and to identify SNP markers associated with salt tolerance in cowpea. We analyzed the salt tolerance index of 116 and 155 cowpea accessions at germination and seedling stages, respectively. A total of 1049 SNPs postulated from genotyping-by-sequencing were used for association analysis. Population structure was inferred using Structure 2.3.4; K optimal was determined using Structure Harvester. TASSEL 5, GAPIT, and FarmCPU involving three models such as single marker regression, general linear model, and mixed linear model were used for the association study. Substantial variation in salt tolerance index for germination rate, plant height reduction, fresh and dry shoot biomass reduction, foliar leaf injury, and inhibition of the first trifoliate leaf was observed. The cowpea accessions were structured into two subpopulations. Three SNPs, Scaffold87490_622, Scaffold87490_630, and C35017374_128 were highly associated with salt tolerance at germination stage. Seven SNPs, Scaffold93827_270, Scaffold68489_600, Scaffold87490_633, Scaffold87490_640, Scaffold82042_3387, C35069468_1916, and Scaffold93942_1089 were found to be associated with salt tolerance at seedling stage. The SNP markers were consistent across the three models and could be used as a tool to select salt-tolerant lines for breeding improved cowpea tolerance to salinity.5.

Three quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to Thrips tabaci and Frankliniella schultzei were identified using a cowpea recombinant inbred population of 127 F2:8 lines. An amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) genetic linkage map and foliar feeding damage ratings were used to
identify genomic regions contributing toward resistance to thrips damage. Based on Pearson correlation analysis, damage ratings
were highly correlated (r ≥ 0.7463) across seven field experiments conducted in 2006, 2007, and 2008. Using the Kruskall–Wallis and Multiple-QTL model
mapping packages of MapQTL 4.0 software, three QTL, Thr-1, Thr-2, and Thr-3, were identified on linkage groups 5 and 7 accounting for between 9.1 and 32.1% of the phenotypic variance. AFLP markers
ACC-CAT7, ACG-CTC5, and AGG-CAT1 co-located with QTL peaks for Thr-1, Thr-2, and Thr-3, respectively. Results of this study will provide a resource for molecular marker development and the genetic characterization
of foliar thrips resistance in cowpea. 相似文献

In vitro culture and genetic transformation of black gram are difficult due to its recalcitrant nature. Establishment of gene transfer procedure is a prerequisite to develop transgenic plants of black gram in a shorter period. Therefore, genetic transformation was performed to optimize the factors influencing transformation efficiency through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated in planta transformation using EHA 105 strain harbouring reporter gene, bar, and selectable marker, gfp-gus, in sprouted half-seed explants of black gram. Several parameters, such as co-cultivation, acetosyringone concentration, exposure time to sonication, and vacuum infiltration influencing in planta transformation, have been evaluated in this study. The half-seed explants when sonicated for 3 min and vacuum infiltered for 2 min at 100 mm of Hg in the presence of A. tumefaciens (pCAMBIA1304– bar) suspensions and incubated for 3 days co-cultivation in MS medium with 100 µM acetosyringone showed maximum transformation efficiency (46 %). The putative transformants were selected by inoculating co-cultivated seeds in BASTA® (4 mg l?1) containing MS medium followed by BASTA® foliar spray on 15-day-old black gram plants (35 mg l?1) in green house, and the transgene integration was confirmed by biochemical assay (GUS), Polymerase chain reaction, Dot-blot, and Southern hybridisation analyses. 相似文献

The genetic diversity of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) in Ethiopia was analyzed using 19 uniform accessions, 62 variable accessions (yielding 185 sub-types), and two mungbean (Vigna radiata) accessions (four subtypes) as outgroup. A set of 23 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers was identified, and polymorphism in the various accessions was scored by determining amplicon variability. Allele frequency, genetic diversity, and polymorphism information content (PIC) were determined for each SSR marker, and a neighbor joining dendrogram was generated to show the genetic relationship among the individual accessions. A total of 75 allelic variants was defined, with the average number of alleles per locus calculated to be three. The average genetic diversity (D) was 0.47, and PIC was 0.4. Three main clusters were identified by phylogenetic analysis, and the clusters and sub-grouping were supported by STRUCTURE and principal component analysis. This grouping had a moderate fixation index value of 0.075 and gene flow (Nm) of 3.176, indicating that the accessions possess wide diversity within individuals and populations. The accessions showed no clustering by geographical origins. Three well-characterized molecular markers (SSR1, C42-2B, and 61RM2) for race specific resistance to Striga gesnerioides in the cowpea cultivar B301 were used to evaluate the accessions for their potential for use in genetic improvement against this pest. Based on this analysis, only two accessions, 222890–2 from Gambela and 286–2 from the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples (SNNP) region, were found to cluster with B301 and contain the SSR1 resistance allele. These findings will assist in germplasm conservation efforts by the Institute of Biodiversity and Conservation of Ethiopia, and contribute to future studies aimed at the genetic improvement of local germplasm for improved overall agronomic performance as well as Striga resistance in particular. 相似文献

Auxin receptors TIR1/AFBs play an essential role in a series of signaling network cascades. These F-box proteins have also been identified to participate in different stress responses via the auxin signaling pathway in Arabidopsis. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide, which is also a model plant for research. In the study herein, two cucumber homologous auxin receptor F-box genes CsTIR and CsAFB were cloned and studied for the first time. The deduced amino acid sequences showed a 78% identity between CsTIR and AtTIR1 and 76% between CsAFB and AtAFB2. All these proteins share similar characteristics of an F-box domain near the N-terminus, and several Leucine-rich repeat regions in the middle. Arabidopsis plants ectopically overexpressing CsTIR or CsAFB were obtained and verified. Shorter primary roots and more lateral roots were found in these transgenic lines with auxin signaling amplified. Results showed that expression of CsTIR/AFB genes in Arabidopsis could lead to higher seeds germination rates and plant survival rates than wild-type under salt stress. The enhanced salt tolerance in transgenic plants is probably caused by maintaining root growth and controlling water loss in seedlings, and by stabilizing life-sustaining substances as well as accumulating endogenous osmoregulation substances. We proposed that CsTIR/AFB-involved auxin signal regulation might trigger auxin mediated stress adaptation response and enhance the plant salt stress resistance by osmoregulation. 相似文献

The efficacy of four potential phosphate solubilizing Enterobacter isolated from non-rhizospheric soil in Western ghat forest in India. Plant growth promoting ability of these isolates was evaluated in cowpea. All are gram negative, rod shaped,
0.8–1.6 mm in size, and psychrotrophic in nature, grow from 5 to 40°C (optimum temp. 28 ± 2°C). All isolates exhibits growth
at a wide range of pH 6–12, optimum at pH 7.0 and tolerates up to 7% (w/v) salt concentration. 16S rRNA gene sequencing reveals
the confirmation of isolates to Enterobacter aerogenes sp. (NII-0907 and NII-0929), Enterobacter cloacae subsp. cloacae sp. (NII-0931) and Enterobacter asburiae sp. (NII-0934) with which they share >99% sequence similarity. Under in vitro conditions, all the four isolates were found
to produce indole acetic acid, P-solubilization and hydrogen cyanide. The P-solubilizing activity coincided with a concomitant
decrease in pH of the medium (pH 7.0–<3.0). The plant growth promotion properties were demonstrated through a cow pea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) walp) based bioassay under greenhouse conditions. Although the bacterial inoculation was found to result in significant increment
in root, shoot and biomass and it stimulated bacterial counts in the rhizosphere. Hence, these isolates can further formulated
and used for field application. 相似文献

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation system was established for Hybanthus enneaspermus using leaf explants with the strain LBA4404 harbouring pCAMBIA 2301 carrying the nptII and gusA genes. Sensitivity of leaf explants to kanamycin was standardized (100 mg/l) for screening the transgenic plants. Transformation parameters (OD, virulence inducer, infection time, co-cultivation period, bactericidal antibiotics, etc.) influencing the gene transfer and integration were assessed in the present investigation. Fourteen-day pre-cultured explants were subjected with Agrobacterium strain LBA4404. Optimized parameters such as culture density of 0.5 OD600, infection time of 6 min, AS concentration of 150 µM with 3 days co-cultivation revealed maximum transformation efficiency based on GUS expression assay. The presence of gusA in transgenics was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction and Southern blotting analysis. The present transformation experiment yielded 20 shoots/explant with higher transformation efficiency (28 %). The protocol could be used to introduce genes for trait improvement as well as for altering metabolic pathway for secondary metabolites production. 相似文献

As a major contributor to the flower market, Gypsophila paniculata is an important target for the breeding of new varieties. However, gypsophila breeding is strongly hampered by the sterility
of this species’ genotypes and the lack of a genetic-transformation procedure for this genus. Here we describe the establishment
of a transformation procedure for gypsophila (Gypsophila paniculata L.) based on Agrobacterium inoculation of highly regenerative stem segments. The transformation procedure employs stem explants derived from GA3-pretreated mother plants and a two-step selection scheme. The GA3 treatment was crucial for obtaining high gene-transfer frequencies (75–90% GUS-expressing explants out of total inoculated
explants), as shown using three different gypsophila varieties. An overall transformation efficiency of five GUS-expressing
shoots per 100 stem explants was demonstrated for cv. Arbel. The applicability of the transformation system to gypsophila
was further reinforced by the generation of transgenic plants expressing Agrobacterium rhizogenes
rolC driven by a CaMV 35S promoter. Transgenic gypsophila plantlets exhibited extensive rooting and branching, traits that could
be beneficial to the ornamental industry. 相似文献

Two repeated DNA sequences isolated from a partial genomic DNA library of Helianthus annuus, p HaS13 and p HaS211, were shown to represent portions of the int gene of a Ty3 /gypsy retroelement and of the RNase-Hgene of a Ty1 /copia retroelement, respectively. Southern blotting patterns obtained by hybridizing the two probes to BglII- or DraI-digested genomic DNA from different Helianthus species showed p HaS13 and p HaS211 were parts of dispersed repeats at least 8 and 7 kb in length, respectively, that were conserved in all species studied. Comparable hybridization patterns were obtained in all species with p HaS13. By contrast, the patterns obtained by hybridizing p HaS211 clearly differentiated annual species from perennials. The frequencies of p HaS13- and p HaS211-related sequences in different species were 4.3x10(4)-1.3x10(5) copies and 9.9x10(2)-8.1x10(3) copies per picogram of DNA, respectively. The frequency of p HaS13-related sequences varied widely within annual species, while no significant difference was observed among perennial species. Conversely, the frequency variation of p HaS211-related sequences was as large within annual species as within perennials. Sequences of both families were found to be dispersed along the length of all chromosomes in all species studied. However, Ty3 /gypsy-like sequences were localized preferentially at the centromeric regions, whereas Ty1/ copia-like sequences were less represented or absent around the centromeres and plentiful at the chromosome ends. These findings suggest that the two sequence families played a role in Helianthusgenome evolution and species divergence, evolved independently in the same genomic backgrounds and in annual or perennial species, and acquired different possible functions in the host genomes. 相似文献

Field observations and inoculation experiments revealed that Uromyces appendiculatus var. azukicola has an autoecious and macrocyclic life cycle and produces spermogonia, aecia, uredinia, and telia on Vigna angularis var. angularis and V. angularis var. nipponensis. From inoculation experiments, it was suggested that this rust fungus has different host relationships from other varieties. Morphological examinations revealed that the characteristics of urediniospores and teliospores are different among varieties, although aeciospores are morphologically similar to each other.Contribution no. 182, Laboratory of Plant Parasitic Mycology, Institute of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Tsukuba, Japan 相似文献

Background
Vascular plants respond to pathogens by activating a diverse array of defense mechanisms. Studies with these plants have provided a wealth of information on pathogen recognition, signal transduction and the activation of defense responses. However, very little is known about the infection and defense responses of the bryophyte, Physcomitrella patens, to well-studied phytopathogens. The purpose of this study was to determine: i) whether two representative broad host range pathogens, Erwinia carotovora ssp. carotovora (E.c. carotovora) and Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea), could infect Physcomitrella, and ii) whether B. cinerea, elicitors of a harpin (HrpN) producing E.c. carotovora strain (SCC1) or a HrpN-negative strain (SCC3193), could cause disease symptoms and induce defense responses in Physcomitrella. 相似文献16.
A phosphate solubilizing and antagonistic bacterial strain, isolated from a Western Ghat forest soil in Kerala province, India
(designated as NII-0906), showed cold tolerance and grew from 10 to 37°C (optimum temperature 30°C). It was a Gram-positive,
rod shaped, 0.8–1.6 μm in size, and exhibited tolerance to a wide pH range (5–12; optimum 7.0) and salt concentration up to
7% (w/v). The isolate showed maximum similarity with Exiguobacterium marinum TF-80T based on 16S rRNA analysis. It solubilized tricalcium phosphate under in vitro conditions. The phosphate solubilization was
estimated along a temperature range (5–40°C), and maximum activity (84.7 μg mL−1 day−1) was recorded at 30°C after 10 days of incubation. The phosphate solubilizing activity coincided with a concomitant decrease
in pH of the medium. The isolate also exhibited antifungal activity against phytopathogenic fungi in Petri dish assays and
produced siderophore and hydrogen cyanide. The strain’s plant growth promotion properties were demonstrated through a cowpea-based
bioassay under greenhouse conditions. The bacterial inoculation resulted in significant increment in plant root, stem and
as well as in plant biomass. Further, scanning electron microscopic study revealed the root colonization in cowpea. These
results could offer potential perspective for the strain to be used as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, which could be
used as an inoculant for regional crops. 相似文献

Gametophytic self-incompatibility, a natural mechanism occurring in pear and other fruit-tree species, is usually controlled by the S-locus with allelic variants ( S1, S2, Sn). Recently, biochemical and molecular tools have determined the S-genotype of cultivars in various species. The present study determined the S-locus composition of ten European pear cultivars via S-PCR molecular assay, thereby obviating time-consuming fieldwork whose results are often ambiguous because of environmental effects. To verify the S-PCR assay, two putative S-allele DNA fragments of Japanese pear were isolated; their sequences proved to be identical to those reported in the databank. Six S-allele fragments of European pear were then sequenced. While field data confirmed the molecular results, fully and half-compatible field crosses were not distinguishable. 相似文献

Vigna unguiculata (cowpea) is a legume adapted to high temperatures and is sensitive to low temperatures. Temperature is one of the limiting
factors of growth and yield for many crops but its effect on cowpea metabolism is not known. We investigated the effect of
chilling on activity of vacuolar proton pumps (V-ATPase and V-PPase) and their protein content in tonoplast vesicles of cowpea
hypocotyls. Seedlings grown for 7 days at 10 or 4°C were used for experiments. Chilling treatment at 10 or 4°C markedly suppressed
growth of cowpea seedlings. Following chilling at 10 and 4°C, activity of both proton pumps and the relative amount of V-PPase
and subunit A of V-ATPase were significantly increased. Both substrate hydrolysis and H+ transport activities of V-PPase remained at relatively high levels during chilling treatment. For V-ATPase, treatment at
10°C for 6 days increased the ATP hydrolysis activity. However, the H+ transport activity of the enzyme was increased when treated for 4 days but was markedly decreased when treated for 6 days.
Our results provide evidence for different regulation for these vacuolar proton pumps, indicating that V-PPase is the more
stable proton pump throughout chilling stress. 相似文献

Using a combination of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis protein mapping and mass spectrometry analysis, we have established
proteome reference maps of embryogenic cell suspensions of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata). The cell suspensions were generated from young primary leaves and contained basically pro-embryogenic masses, which enabled
us to dissect their proteome composition while eliminating the complexity of too many cell types. Over 550 proteins could
reproducibly be resolved over a pI range of 3–10. A total of 128 of the most abundant protein spots were excised, digested
in-gel with trypsin and analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry. This enabled the identification of 67 protein spots. Two of
the most abundant proteins were identified as a chitinase and as a ribonuclease belonging to the family of PR-4 and PR-10
proteins, respectively. The expression of the respective genes was confirmed by RT-PCR and the pattern of deposition of the
PR-10 protein in cell suspensions as well as in developing cowpea seeds, roots, shoots and flowers were determined by Western
blot experiments, using synthetic antibodies raised against a 14-amino acid synthetic peptide located close to the C-terminal
region of the PR-10 protein. 相似文献

A regeneration and transformation system has been developed using organogenic calluses derived from soybean axillary nodes
as the starting explants. Leaf-node or cotyledonary-node explants were prepared from 7 to 8-d-old seedlings. Callus was induced
on medium containing either Murashige and Skoog (MS) salts or modified Finer and Nagasawa (FNL) salts and B5 vitamins with
various concentrations of benzylamino purine (BA) and thidiazuron (TDZ). The combination of BA and TDZ had a synergistic effect
on callus induction. Shoot differentiation from the callus occurred once the callus was transferred to medium containing a
low concentration of BA. Subsequently, shoots were elongated on medium containing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), zeatin riboside,
and gibberellic acid (GA). Plant regeneration from callus occurred 90 ∼ 120 d after the callus was cultured on shoot induction
medium. Both the primary callus and the proliferated callus were used as explants for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The calluses were inoculated with A. tumefaciens harboring a binary vector with the bar gene as the selectable marker gene and the gusINT gene for GUS expression. Usually 60–100% of the callus showed transient GUS expression 5 d after inoculation. Infected
calluses were then selected on media amended with various concentrations of glufosinate. Transgenic soybean plants have been
regenerated and established in the greenhouse. GUS expression was exhibited in various tissues and plant organs, including
leaf, stem, and roots. Southern and T1 plant segregation analysis of transgenic events showed that transgenes were integrated into the soybean genome with a copy
number ranging from 1–5 copies. 相似文献
