底墒和种植方式对夏大豆光合特性及产量的影响

选择华北地区冬小麦-夏大豆一年两熟制度,冬小麦设置90 mm、135 mm、180 mm3种灌水量。冬小麦收获后,播种夏大豆,夏大豆设置30 cm等行距、“20 40” cm大小行、“20 40” cm垄作3种种植方式。研究了底墒和种植方式对夏大豆光合特性及产量的影响。结果表明,冬小麦灌溉能够明显影响夏大豆播种时的土壤蓄水量（底墒）。随冬小麦灌水量的增加,夏大豆播种时底墒改善,180 mm和135 mm较90 mm处理明显提高了夏大豆净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度、细胞间隙CO2浓度、叶绿素含量指数、Fo、Fv及ΦPSⅡ,增产效果显著。180 mm较135 mm处理增产效果不显著,且水分利用效率显著降低。夏大豆种植方式也能明显影响其净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度、细胞间隙CO2浓度、叶绿素含量指数、Fo、Fm、ΦPSⅡ、Fv/Fm、产量及水分利用效率,具体表现为：“20 40” cm垄作> 30 cm等行距>“20 40” cm大小行。综合评价,冬小麦135 mm灌水量条件下,夏大豆采用“20 40” cm垄作是生产上可行的栽培模式。

Formation of multiple embryo-like structures from single microspores during maize anther culture

In a previous study on the RFLP analysis of the maize anther culture response (Wan et al. 1992), some of the anther-derived callus Unes from hybrids H99 x Pa91 (HP) and H99 x FR16 (HF) showed the same RFLP patterns with 58 (for HP Unes) or 35 (for HF lines) RFLP markers used. Since the callus Unes with the identical RFLP pattern were initiated from individual embryo-like structures (ELSs) from the same anther culture plate, these must have originated from the same microspore. Twin embryos which apparently had originated from the same microspore were also observed. Thus in certain cases one microspore must be capable of forming more than one ELS. However, in the case of the callus Unes from a different F1 hybrid (Pa91 x FR16), no identical RFLP patterns were observed. Thus multiple ELS formation from a single microspore may be genetically controlled. Since in some cases the proportion of callus lines resulting from multiple ELS formation can be quite high (about 50% for the HP lines), estimates of gene segregation and anther culture response frequencies can be affected greatly.     

玉米AGO基因在籽粒发育过程中的表达分析

以玉米自交系‘昌7-2’授粉后4个时间点(授粉后7、10、14和20d)的籽粒总RNA为研究对象,采用实时荧光定量PCR技术,对玉米中5个Argonaute(AGO)蛋白家族基因(AGO1、AGO2、AGO4、AGO10和AGO18)在籽粒不同发育时期的表达谱进行了研究。结果表明:AGO1和AGO2在籽粒发育过程中呈现一致的表达趋势,在授粉后7d的籽粒中表达量最高,从授粉后7d到20d呈持续下降的趋势。AGO4、AGO10和AGO18具有一致的表达趋势,均呈现先下降后上升的趋势,在授粉后10d的籽粒中表达量最低。结合实验室前期获得的miRNA在玉米籽粒不同发育阶段的表达谱,发现不同AGO家族基因可协助其靶标miRNA参与玉米籽粒发育调控。     

Partitioning of reduced nitrogen derived from exogenous nitrate in maize roots: Initial priority for protein synthesis

Summary When roots of five day-old maize seedlings were exposed to¹⁵N-nitrate, a constant (25–29%) proportion of the reduced¹⁵N derived from the entering¹⁵N-nitrate accumulated as insoluble¹⁵N nitrogen. Constancy was established by two hours and lasted through 12 hours at ambient¹⁵N-nitrate concentrations of 0.05 mM to 20.0 mM. Even when little¹⁵N nitrate had been reduced (<2 moles), there was a linear relationship between accumulation of insoluble¹⁵N (but not accumulation or translocation of soluble reduced¹⁵N) and total reduced¹⁵N. It is proposed that protein synthesis from the entering nitrate occurs in close association with nitrate reduction.Paper No. 9764 of the Journal Series of the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service, Raleigh, NC, 27695-7619, USA.

Mapping of zein polypeptides after isoelectric focusing on agarose gels

Isoelectric focusing of zein in agarose gels gives sharp separations of at least 25 bands noted among 25 corn-belt inbreds. Six inbreds provided standard bands which were used to construct a pattern map. A method is provided for comparing bands, identified by distance from the cathode, which differ only slightly in position. The 25 inbreds were separated into five groups on the basis of pattern similarity. Some groups contained inbreds derived from widely different sources. Zein isoelectric focusing in agarose should be useful for genotype identification and for determination of varietal purity.     

Zinc deficiency and pollen fertility in maize (Zea mays)

Zinc deficiency decreased pollen viability in maize (Zea mays L. cv. G2) grown in sand culture. On restoring normal zinc supply to zinc-deficient plants before the pollen mother cell stage of anther development, the vegetative yield of plants and pollen fertility could be recovered to a large extent, but the recovery treatment was not effective when given after the release of microspores from the tetrads. If zinc deficiency was induced prior to microsporogenesis it did not significantly affect vegetative yield and ovule fertility, but decreased the fertility of pollen grains, even of those which visibly appeared normal. If the deficiency was induced after the release of microspores from the tetrads, not only vegetative yield and ovule fertility but pollen fertility also remained unaffected.     

Genetics of tassel branch number in maize and its implications for a selection program for small tassel size

Summary Tassel branch numbers of six crosses of maize (Zea mays L.) were analyzed to determine inheritance of this trait. Generation mean analyses were used to estimate genetic effects, and additive and nonadditive components of variance were calculated and evaluated for bias due to linkage. Both narrow-sense and broad-sense heritabilities were estimated. Additive genetic variance estimates were significant in five of the six crosses, whereas estimates of variance due to nonadditive components were significant in only three crosses. Additionally, estimates of additive variance components usually were larger than corresponding nonadditive components. There was no evidence for linkage bias in these estimates. Estimates of additive genetic effects were significant in four of six crosses, but significant dominance, additive × additive and additive × dominance effects also were detected. Additive, dominance, and epistatic gene action, therefore, all influenced the inheritance of tassel branch number, but additive gene action was most important. Both narrow-sense and broadsense heritability estimates were larger than those reported for other physiological traits of maize and corroborated conclusions concerning the importance of additive gene action inferred from analyses of genetic effects and variances. We concluded that selection for smalltasseled inbreds could be accomplished most easily through a mass-selection and/or pedigree-selection system. Production of a small-tasseled hybrid would require crossing of two small-tasseled inbreds. We proposed two genetic models to explain unexpected results obtained for two crosses. One model involved five interacting loci and the other employed two loci displaying only additive and additive × additive gene action.Journal Paper No. J-9231 of the Iowa Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station, Ames, Iowa 50011.

Effects of High Temperature on Chlorophyll Fluorescence Induction and the Kinetics of Far Red Radiation-Induced relaxation of apparent F0 in maize leaves

Temperature dependence (25–50 °C) of chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence induction, far-red radiation (FR)-induced relaxation of the post-irradiation transient increase in apparent F₀, and the trans-thylakoid proton gradients (pH) was examined in maize leaves. Temperatures above 30 °C caused an elevation of F₀ level and an enhancement of F₀ quenching during actinic irradiation. Millisecond delayed light emission (ms-DLE), which reflects the magnitude of pH, decreased strikingly above 35 °C, and almost disappeared at 50 °C. It indicates that the heat-enhanced quenching of F₀ under actinic irradiation could not be attributed mainly to the mechanism of pH-dependent quenching. The relaxation of the post-irradiation transient increase in apparent F₀ upon FR irradiation could be decomposed into two exponential components (₁ = 0.7–1.8 s, ₂ = 2.0–9.9 s). Decay times of both components increased with temperature increasing from 25 to 40–45 °C. The bi-phasic kinetics of FR-induced relaxation of the post-irradiation transient increase in apparent F₀ and its temperature dependence may be related to plastoquinone (PQ) compartmentation in the thylakoid membranes and its re-organisation at elevated temperature.     

Mutations in corn (Zea mays L.) conferring resistance to imidazolinone herbicides

Summary Three corn (Zea mays L.) lines resistant to imidazolinone herbicides were developed by in vitro selection and plant regeneration. For all three lines, resistance is inherited as a single semidominant allele. The resistance alleles from resistant lines XA17, XI12, and QJ22 have been crossed into the inbred line B73, and in each case homozygotes are tolerant of commercial use rates of imidazolinone herbicides. All resistant selections have herbicide-resistant forms of acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), the known site of action of imidazolinone herbicides. The herbicide-resistant phenotypes displayed at the whole plant level correlate directly with herbicide insensitivity of the AHAS activities of the selections. The AHAS activities from all three selections have normal feedback regulation by valine and leucine, and plants containing the mutations display a normal phenotype.     

Isozyme marker loci associated with cold tolerance and maturity in maize

Summary Two maize (Zea mays L.) populations, AS1(S) and ECR-A, were evaluated for allozyme frequency changes associated with selection for improved seedling emergence, early season vigor and early maturity. Eleven marker loci were examined and four loci were used for indirect selection in an attempt to modify cold tolerance and maturity. Allozyme-selected divergent subpopulations were produced by compositing selected S₁ progeny from cycle one (C1) of AS1(S) and from C2 of ECR-A. These subpopulations and S₁ generations from all cycles resulting from phenotypic selection, ECR-A C1 through C7 and AS1(S) CO through C6, were tested in cold tolerance and agronomic performance trials over five environments in 1986. Seedling emergence and seedling dry weight did not improve with phenotypic selection in ECR-A, while plant height, ear height, grain yield, grain moisture, days to mid-silk and days to mid-pollen were reduced significantly. Contrasts between divergent allozyme-selected subpopulations from ECR-A were significant for grain moisture and mid-pollen date. For AS1(S), seeding emergence increased, while plant and ear height decreased with phenotypic selection. Contrasts between allozyme-selected subpopulations were significant for plant and ear height. Changes associated with marker-based selection for AS1(S) were not in the same direction as with phenotypic selection. Selection for favorable allozyme genotypes may be effective in changing certain traits in populations that have been modified by direct selection, however results may not be predictable.Contribution from the Department of Agronomy, Wisconsin Agric.

Inheritance of RAPDs in F1 hybrids of corn

Summary Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were analyzed in materials from a partial diallel, including 16 corn F₁ hybrids (with five reciprocals) and their five parental inbreds. Using 21 primers, we scored a total of 140 different fragments for their presence/absence and intensity variation, where appropriate. When all 21 genotypes were taken into consideration, 20.7% of these fragments were nonpolymorphic, 37.1% were unambiguously polymorphic, and 42.1% were quantitatively polymorphic. Unambiguous polymorphisms were distinguished by the simple presence or absence of a specific fragment in the inbred genotypes, whereas quantitative polymorphisms exhibited a variation in the intensity of a fragment. Of the F₁ patterns, 95.2% of the unambiguously polymorphic situations could be interpreted genetically by assuming complete dominance of the presence of the parental fragment, while 3.2% of the F₁ patterns exhibited a fragment intensity that was intermediate between the two parental patterns (partial dominance). For quantitative polymorphisms, values of 88.1% for complete dominance and 5.0% for partial dominance were obtained. The results suggest that specific types of errors can be detected in RAPD analysis, that uniparental inheritance is not common, and that RAPD analysis might be more prudently used for some applications than for others.
