不同品种春小麦根系对低钾胁迫的生物学响应

采用水培法,以3个春小麦品种(加春1号、2号、4号)为试验材料,研究了低钾胁迫下不同品种春小麦根系的形态学与生理学特征。结果表明:(1)与对照相比,低钾胁迫下小麦的根重、根数、总根长、总吸收面积、根活力、根系SOD及POD活性、根系活性吸收面积均明显降低,但根冠比有所增加,不同春小麦品种间的变化趋势相似,但变化幅度存在明显差异。(2)供试品种小麦根系的形态与生理学特征在同一供钾水平下和不同供钾水平间均存在着明显的差异,表明这两种性状的差异是由基因型和环境因素共同决定的,因此,根系形态学和生理学特征可以作为筛选高效吸收钾小麦品种的参考指标。(3)供试的3个春小麦品种中‘加春4号’对低钾环境的适应性最强。     

The polymorphism and structural homology of storage polypeptides (hordein) coded by the Hor-2 locus in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Two-dimensional mapping (isoelectric focusing followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) of the polypeptide components of “B” hordein fractions from eight barley varieties of widely different ancestry has been carried out. The relative positions of 47 different polypeptides were mapped, there being between 8 and 16 present in any one variety. The individual polypeptides differed in their distribution patterns; some were present in a number of varieties, while others were restricted to one or two. They also differed in their relative contributions to the total hordein fraction, both within and between varieties. The structural homology of the major polypeptides was compared by cleavage at methionine residues with cyanogen bromide and separation of the peptides on gradient gels. The polypeptides were classified into three groups which gave cleavage patterns with either two (class I), four (class II), or five (class III) low molecular weight bands. Class III polypeptides were found in all eight varieties, but in seven of the varieties class I or class II polypeptides were also present. With one exception, polypeptides migrating in the same position in different varieties gave identical or almost identical patterns. The three classes of polypeptides showed different distributions on the two-dimensional gels. Classes II and III polypeptides had a similar range of isoelectric points (pH 6.5–8.0), but all of the class II polypeptides were of slightly lower molecular weight. Class I polypeptides had a wider range of pI and molecular weight; the most alkaline and the lowest molecular weight polypeptides were in this group. The hordein fractions from a number of other barley varieties were compared with that of Julia. All had major polypeptides which migrated with ones present in Julia, but they differed in the relative amounts of these and in the absence of some polypeptides and the presence of others. B hordein is coded for by a single locus which has been suggested to be a complex multigenic family derived by duplication and divergence of a single gene. The data reported here provide support for this hypothesis and suggest that both mutations in the duplicated genes and recombination within the locus may have contributed to the polymorphism of the polypeptides.     

Variability of cathodic peroxidases in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) cultivars

Eighteen varieties of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), originating from various European countries, were compared in respect of peroxidase variability level. They were cultivated in the same experimental plot. The cultivars differed in ploidy level: one variety was tetraploid, three were diploid and 14 varieties were triploid. The cathodic peroxidase system is controlled by four independent genes, of which only one is polymorphic. Consequently, the varieties were characterised by frequencies of 3 allozymes belonging to one locus. Only one variety proved to be fully monomorphic. Genetic similarities between the cultivars were illustrated by a dendrogram (UPGMA) and show different groups of varieties not related to their ploidy level.     

Luminous capabilities and life-history traits of the polychromatic ophiuroid Amphipholis squamata in two isolated populations from Oliveri-Tindari lagoon system,Sicily

Amphipholis squamata is a small ophiuroid with a worldwide distribution except for Polar regions. Global populations of A. squamata are morphologically uniform but inter- and intrapopulational variability occurs at levels from the population to the genotype. The species is polychromatic and two colour varieties (dark-brown and spotted) from two adjacent populations (separated from each other for only 20 years) in a lagoonal system (Sicily) were compared using bioluminescence and life-history traits as indicators of variability. The dark-brown variety was dominant in Lago Nuovo and the spotted one was dominant in Porto Vecchio. Important variations were observed within populations, however, there were significant differences in life-history traits and luminous capabilities between the dark-brown and spotted varieties. The dark-brown variety invested more energy in somatic growth than reproduction (1 cohort each year and growth rate of 0.279 mm each month), whereas energy was devoted mainly to reproduction in the spotted variety (4 cohorts each year and growth rate of 0.171 mm each month). The chronology of the life cycles was completely different between the two varieties. Fertilization occurred mainly in spring for the spotted but only in autumn for the dark-brown. Recruitment occurred mainly in autumn for spotted and in spring for dark-brown individuals. Finally, significant differences were observed for maximal intensity of emitted light and kinetic parameters between the two varieties.     

Intra-racial variation in Phytophthora infestans and adaptation to field resistance for potato blight

Strains of Phytophthora infestans of the same race (P₄) isolated from a range of R₀ potato varieties differed markedly in their rate of growth on agar but differences in growth rate were not related to variety of origin. Two isolates from each of the varieties Duke of York, Majestic and Arran Consul were grown for six successive subcultures on tubers of these three varieties. The six isolates differed in aggressiveness as shown by their growth on individual varieties. There was a marked difference in growth rate between alternate subcultures which is attributed to the use of too long an incubation period. Analysis of the data for subcultures 1, 3 and 5 revealed a significant interaction between isolates and varieties which reflected the enhanced growth of five of the isolates on the variety from which they had been obtained. Serial subculture on potato tubers of the same variety had no general or specific effect on the aggressiveness of the isolates. It is concluded that strains of P. infestans of the same race may be differentially adapted to the variety on which they are growing in the field. Differential interactions between pathogen biotypes and non-immune hosts are considered to be widespread in host-pathogen systems.

Differentiation in a tropical deceptive orchid: colour polymorphism and beyond

Colour polymorphism has often been described among individuals of deceptive orchid species, and several studies have investigated reproductive success variations among colour morphs. However, whether colour morphs differed in other traits has received little attention in previous studies. Here, we report the case of a tropical deceptive orchid in Reunion Island that exhibits three different colour varieties. We investigated patterns of trait variation among colour varieties and found significant differences in floral and inflorescence morphology. Interestingly, we found that most populations included only individuals of a single variety, and that strong differences exist among varieties in spatial distribution and flowering phenology. This situation differs from previously reported cases of floral polymorphism in deceptive orchids where colour morphs co-occur and flower in the same populations. The spatio-temporal variation in flowering suggests that colour varieties have independent reproductive ecologies and are adapted to local conditions. We propose that potential variations in pollinator species abundance or diversity and the co-occurrence of nectar-producing species in the community may have driven the adaptation of each variety to its current pollination niche.     

小克银汉霉核糖体DNA PCR扩增产物的限制性片段长度多型性(英文)

应用一对寡核苷酸引物ITS1与ITS4对核DNAG＋C百分数小于30％的小克银汉霉（Cunninghamella）属的核糖体DNA（rDNA）内转录间区（YTS）进行了扩增。测试的属于10个种和变种的22株菌都得到了扩增产物。在同属不同种之间扩增的ITS片段长度有巨大差别。据此可分为三组。这三组所含分类群数及其DNA长度分别为;第一组4种1变种,小于764碱基对（bp）;第二组2种,765～824bp;第三组2种1变种,大于825bp。所研究的许多种中,特别是第三组,单凭其PCR产物的长度就能区分开来。但在第一、二组就需借助限制性内切酶的分析才能予以区分。我们选用了RsaI,TaqI;Tru9I,和HinfI4种限制性内切酶,对所有扩增产物进行了限制性片段长度多型性（RFLPs）的分析。在雅致小克银汉霉（Celegans）、巴西玉蕊小克银汉霉（Cbertholletiae）、和布拉氏霉（Cblakesleeana）各种的限制性酶切图谱,种内非常一致而种与种之间有差别。反之,在某些种其限制性酶切图谱不仅种间互不相同,在种内不同株之间也出现1～3种酶切图型的差异。在这种情况下,只能综合各种资料才能将它们区分开来。本研究肯定了PCR－RFLP在区分小克银汉霉种和变种上的意义,并发现种内个体的差异。这在我们后来所进行的序列分析研究中得到了进一步的证实。     

应用RAPD技术对甘肃栽培牡丹品种的分类鉴定研究

应用RAPD技术对甘肃栽培紫斑牡丹品种的分类进行了初步研究,筛选出10个随机引物在16个品种中共扩增出120个位点,其中114个位点呈多态性,4个位点具品种专一性。根据RAPD结果计算各品种间的遗传距离为0．212 8～0．744 4,所研究的16个品种中,除‘北国风光’外‘理想’与其它品种的遗传距离均很大,而皇冠型的‘春红争艳’与蔷薇型的‘怀念’两品种间的遗传距离最小。同一品种不同个体间与不同品种间在遗传距离上无明显差异,暗示在甘肃栽培牡丹品种中可能存在同物异名和同名异物。聚类分析表明,‘理想’和‘北国风光’与其它品种分别构成了遗传差异很大的两类,楼子类与千层类的品种在聚类时虽未完全分开,但楼子类大部分品种间表现出了更高的遗传相似性,且遗传距离与各种色系间没有明显的相关性。结果表明,RAPD技术能够克服传统上根据形态学性状对品种进行分类的缺点,可用于牡丹栽培品种的鉴定。     

Polysaccharides of root-cap slime from five maize varieties

Radioactive root-cap slime from five maize varieties consisted of a mixture of neutral, weakly-acidic and acidic polymers. The distribution of radioactivity between monosaccharides of these components showed that the slimes were essentially the same but that preparations, even those made at different times from the same variety, contained variable proportions of glucose. Results obtained with different maize varieties can therefore be considered together.     

大豆出苗期和苗期对盐胁迫的响应及耐盐指标评价

比较了4个大豆品种出苗期和苗期的耐盐性,测定150 mmol/L NaCl胁迫下的株高、下胚轴长、侧根数、地上干/鲜重、根干/鲜重、MDA含量、SOD活性、游离Pro含量,并将幼苗移栽到田间生长至成熟。结果表明:出苗期和苗期盐胁迫下4个品种的株高都显著降低、地上干/鲜重和根干/鲜重降低;出苗期胁迫侧根数减少,下胚轴长降低;而苗期胁迫侧根数增加,下胚轴长升高。未胁迫条件下,出苗期和苗期耐盐性强的品种22021-1的MDA含量和SOD活性高于耐盐性弱的品种22293-1。胁迫后,22021-1的MDA含量降低、SOD活性升高,其MDA含量分别比对照低51.03%和21.45%,SOD活性比对照高5.85%和45.77%;22293-1的MDA含量出苗期比对照高58.97%,苗期基本无变化,SOD活性出苗期和苗期升高都不显著。MDA和SOD可以作为大豆耐盐性筛选指标。早期的短时胁迫对不同耐盐性大豆品种的经济产量影响不同。

AFLP based alternatives for the assessment of Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability of sugar beet varieties

Three approaches for addressing criteria for Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability (DUS) assessment by means of AFLP data are presented. AFLP data were obtained for three consecutive seed deliveries of 15 sugar beet varieties that were under investigation for the official Belgian list (’93, ’94 and ’95). In total, 696 AFLP markers were scored on 1350 plants. As a first approach, a cluster analysis based on Nei’s standard genetic distances between varieties and/or seed deliveries was made. Three major groups put together varieties belonging to corresponding breeding programmes. Statistical procedures, involving bootstrapping and random sampling of subsets of markers, were applied to test the reproducibility of the ordinations and the redundancy present in the data set. In a second approach, the genetic structure inferred by varieties and seed deliveries was submitted to an Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA). Major genetic variation was attributed to individual plant differences within seed deliveries. Differences among seed deliveries seemed to be as important as differences among varieties or breeding programmes. Individual plant data were used for assignment tests. The computation of the assignment was based on the ranking of individual genotypes to one other (based on Jaccard similarity coefficients). The distribution over the accessions for each variety or seed delivery was used to check what group of plants each individual is genetically most similar to. Varieties were classified according to the degree to which the distribution over the different accessions was mainly allocated to their appropriate seed deliveries (from the same variety) or cross- allocated to other varieties. Criteria for DUS-evaluation could be set by each of the approaches; it is discussed in what way the result obtained differs and agrees. Received: 26 June 2000 / Accepted: 13 March 2001     

Suitability of some Lantana camara varieties as host plants for the root-feeding flea beetle, Longitarsus bethae

Compatibility between the root-feeding agent Longitarsus bethae Savini & Escalona and the varieties of the target weed Lantana camara L. could influence the chances of successful establishment and effectiveness of this agent as a biocontrol agent of lantana in South Africa. Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the influence of major South African lantana varieties on feeding, colonization, oviposition preference and larval survival of L. bethae. Feeding preference and the number of adults per plant varied among the varieties. The most damaged and colonized varieties were 150 Orange, 009 Light Pink and 113 Dark Pink. Variety 018 Dark Pink was the least damaged, while 021 Total Pink and 029 White Pink were the least colonized. Females laid the highest number of eggs on variety 150 Orange. The lowest number of eggs was recorded on Australian Richmond Pink and the closely related species Lippia wilmsii. Larval survival differed significantly among the varieties. The highest survival was recorded on 150 Orange. Duration of development also varied significantly among the varieties, with the slowest rate of development recorded on variety 029 Light Pink and the quickest on variety 015 White Yellow. Although variations in female body size were less significant among varieties, males emerging from variety 150 Orange were slightly smaller than those emerged from other varieties. There was a significant tendency for females to select varieties that enhanced the survival of their offspring, which met the predictions of the preference-performance hypothesis. The data suggest that the chances of establishment and successful control of the weed are expected to be much greater on those varieties that were preferred for oviposition and provided better larval performance.     

Spatial distribution of bumblebees foraging on two cultivars of tomato in a commercial greenhouse

The spatial distribution of foraging bumblebees, Bombus terrestris L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), was studied in a greenhouse planted with two cultivars of tomato, Lycopersicum esculentum Mill. (Solanaceae), in two patches. In both patches, bumblebee densities per square meter were measured on plots, and the results showed that their densities were nearly similar. The densities of available flowers, their pollen production, and availability also were measured. Our results showed that, although the cultivars greatly differed in flower density, flower morphology, and pollen production, their pollen availability (i.e., pollen actually collected by bumblebees per square meter) was approximately the same. Therefore, the mean quantities of pollen collected per bumblebee were similar in each patch. Knowing that bumblebees do not visit different varieties randomly, our results suggest that the major factor affecting the bumblebee distribution among patches was the density of available resource. Results are discussed both from an applied point of view and in relation to the assumptions of the ideal free distribution theory.     

Responses of Schizaphis graminum (Homoptera: Aphididae) to leaf excision in resistant and susceptible sorghum

Greenbugs, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), were reared on intact and excised leaves of varieties of sorghum which differed in their suitability as hosts for this aphid. Aphids grew poorly on intact leaves of three resistant varieties, but grew well on excised leaves of the same varieties. Leaf excision did not affect aphid growth on three susceptible varieties. By electronically monitoring the feeding behaviour of aphids on two resistant and one susceptible variety, significant differences were found in many parameters between aphids assayed on excised vs. intact leaves of only the resistant varieties. Aphids on excised leaves of the resistant varieties, and on excised or intact leaves of the susceptible variety, made fewer probes to the phloem, spending more time ingesting from phloem during each probe, compared to aphids on intact resistant plants. There was a higher level of free amino acids in excised leaves of all varieties, but aphid growth and feeding behaviour improved as a result of excision only on resistant varieties. This observation, coupled with the fact that intact plants of all varieties have similar amino acid levels, indicates that these nutrients are not of primary importance in sorghum suitability to the greenbug. Other explanations for the aphids' responses to excised leaves are discussed.     

Variety‐specific Epidemiology of Cercospora beticola Sacc. and Consequences for Threshold‐based Timing of Fungicide Application in Sugar Beet

In Central Europe, fungicides to control leaf spot disease in sugar beet caused by Cercospora beticola are applied based on thresholds of disease incidence (DI, per cent of infected plants). As variety‐specific fungicide application was not analyzed to date, the epidemiology of C. beticola and its effect on white sugar yield (WSY) in varieties with different susceptibility were investigated at seven sites in Germany and Austria in 2004 and 2005. All varieties reached the summary thresholds 5 / 15 / 45% DI in all environments. Fitting a logistic growth curve to DI revealed significant differences among varieties. At high disease pressure, susceptible varieties reached a considerably higher disease severity (DS, per cent of infected leaf area) at harvest and a larger area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) than resistant varieties. Fitting a logistic growth curve to DS showed an increasing differentiation among varieties with time. The growth rate estimated based on the logistic growth curve was the only variable that performed equally well in differentiating varieties under low and high disease pressure. With increasing disease pressure, varieties differed considerably in WSY, but differences between susceptible and resistant varieties were significant only in some environments. The disease‐loss relation between AUDPC and relative WSY was variety‐specific. Resistant varieties had an approximately identical WSY with and without infection and compensated for negative infection effects even at higher AUDPC. Therefore, at high disease pressure, resistant varieties had a higher relative yield compared to susceptible ones. However, our results indicate that there is no need to develop variety‐specific thresholds, but resistant varieties reach the established thresholds later than susceptible ones. Consequently, the time of fungicide application can be delayed in resistant varieties. This will help to reduce the use of fungicides to the bare essentials as requested for the integrated crop protection management.
