A COMPARISON OF THE GROWTHS OF WILD AND OF CULTIVATED OATS IN MANGANESE-DEFICIENT SOILS 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
JOAN M. THURSTON 《The Annals of applied biology》1951,38(1):289-302
Two species of wild oats, Avena fatua and A. ludoviciana , and two varieties of cultivated oats for comparison, were grown to maturity in pots of manganese-deficient soil with and without added manganese.
A. ludoviciana showed different leaf symptoms of manganese deficiency from A. fatua and the cultivated varieties. In other respects wild and cultivated oats were similar in their responses to the level of manganese supply, though differences were observed in the severity of the effects. These are summarized in Table 6. The relative susceptibility to manganese deficiency of the wild and cultivated oats differed according to the effect considered. The total dry weight at harvest is an integration of all the preceding effects on growth and is therefore presumably the best single criterion for determining susceptibility to manganese deficiency. On the basis of per cent loss of total dry weight at harvest due to lack of manganese, A. fatua is judged less susceptible and A. ludoviciana more susceptible than the two cultivated varieties and no distinction can be made between the latter.
The most interesting differences between wild and cultivated oats in response to the level of manganese supply occurred in seed production. Manganese-deficient wild oats showed a smaller reduction in the number of seeds formed but a greater reduction in the size and manganese content of individual seeds than the cultivated varieties.
Manganese deficiency lowered the percentage of viable seeds and the percentage of dormant seeds produced by both A. fatua and A. ludoviciana. 相似文献

Three wild rice species and six cultivated rice varieties were evaluated to determine their mechanisms of resistance toNilaparvata lugens (Stal.). Wild rice species,Oryza officinalis, O. punctata, andO. latifolia and cultivated rices Rathu Heenati (Bph 3), Babawee (bph 4), ARC 10 550 (bph 5), Swarnalata (Bph 6), Ptb 33 (bph 2+Bph 3)
and the susceptible Taichung Native (TN 1) (no resistance gene) were included in the study. In a free choice seedbox screening
test, wild rice species maintained their high level of resistance through the 48 h exposure toN. lugens nymphs while plant damage ratings of cultivated rice varieties increased with time. Wild rices were non preferred and significantly
more individuals settled on susceptible TN 1 followed by cultivated rices. The quantity of food ingested and assimilated byN. lugens on wild rices was less than on cultivated resistant varieties.N. lugens caged on resistant wild rices had slow nymphal development, reduced longevity, low fecundity, and low egg hatchability as
compared toN. lugens on cultivated resistant varieties. 相似文献

The potato varieties Epicure and Doon Star permitted the production of fewer and smaller cysts of Heterodera schachtii on their roots than the varieties Golden Wonder and Majestic, when all were grown under standard conditions. Under the stimulus of potato-root excretion the number of larvae which emerged from Epicure and Doon Star cysts was less than that from Majestic or Golden Wonder cysts of the same volume. Accepting Lapage's (1938) criteria of resistance to nematode infestation in animals and applying them to plants, it is concluded that this deleterious effect of the variety on the eelworm is probably of the nature of a degree of resistance to eelworm attack specific to each variety and is physiological and not anatomical in action. Of the varieties tested, Epicure is judged the most resistant, closely followed by Doon Star. Majestic is fairly susceptible but not so much so as Golden Wonder on which the eelworm forms large cysts that are extremely productive of larvae. 相似文献

Growth analysis of wild oats ( Avena fatua and A. ludoviciana ) grown in pots with different levels of nitrogen supply showed many similarities to spring barley, winter oats and winter wheat.
Small differences that could affect competition between wild oats and cereals occurred mainly in the seedlings. Wild oat seedlings were smaller than the corresponding cultivated cereals in total dry weight, total nitrogen content, leaf area and number of shoots. However, very young wild oat plants had higher net assimilation rates than the cultivated cereals and soon caught up and passed them. The difference in net assimilation rate did not persist, and in the later stages of growth differences in dry-matter production depended mainly on differences in leaf area. Another important difference between wild oats and cultivated cereals was that 98–100% of the wild oat seeds and none of the crop seeds were dormant 2 months after harvest.
Ear emergence in wild oats spread over a longer period, the range of ear heights was greater and the tallest ears were taller than in the corresponding cultivated cereals. Assimilation in the ear appeared to account for less of the total dry matter of the plants of wild and cultivated oats than of wheat. The wild oats produced more seeds per plant than the cultivated cereals, but the 1000-grain weight, and hence the total dry weight of seeds, was lower in the weeds than in the crop.
Addition of nitrogen to the soil affected the growth of the wild oats in the same ways as the cultivated cereals; they took up the same amount of nitrogen per plant as winter oats and winter wheat but more than spring barley.
It is concluded that wild oats are most susceptible in the seedling stage to competition from the crop and that nitrogenous fertilizer applied to an infested field is unlikely to alter the balance between the yields of crop and of wild oats. 相似文献

Lines exhibiting heritable resistance and susceptibility to beet cyst nematode were selected from a heterogeneous cultivated variety of beet but no major gene resistance was detected although many hundreds of lines of wild and cultivated varieties were tested. Recurrent selection improved the resistance of one line, selected originally for yield and non-bolting qualities, when progenies in each generation were compared with susceptible controls and with the original ancestral lines. Resistance was inherited by progenies from selections crossed with susceptible plants, but evidence of some reduction in resistance was detectable where fewer eelworms were available to invade from the soil. There was no evidence of heritable cytoplasmic influence on the resistance. Resistance is probably controlled by a polygene system in sugar beet, although immunity in Beta procumbens and B. webbiana and near-immunity in B. patellaris suggest that in other species of Beta major gene resistance may occur. 相似文献

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a threat to barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) production in many parts of the world. A number of barley accessions with partial resistance have been reported and used in mapping experiments to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with FHB resistance. Here, we present a set of barley germplasm that exhibits FHB resistance identified through screening a global collection of 23,255 wild (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum) and cultivated (Hordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare) accessions. Seventy-eight accessions were classified as resistant or moderately resistant. The collection of FHB resistant accessions consists of 5, 27, 46 of winter, wild and spring barley, respectively. The population structure and genetic relationships of the germplasm were investigated with 1,727 Diversity Array Technology (DArT) markers. Multiple clustering analyses suggest the presence of four subpopulations. Within cultivated barley, substructure is largely centered on spike morphology and growth habit. Analysis of molecular variance indicated highly significant genetic variance among clusters and within clusters, suggesting that the FHB resistant sources have broad genetic diversity. The haplotype diversity was characterized with DArT markers associated with the four FHB QTLs on chromosome 2H bin8, 10 and 13 and 6H bin7. In general, the wild barley accessions had distinct haplotypes from those of cultivated barley. The haplotype of the resistant source Chevron was the most prevalent in all four QTL regions, followed by those of the resistant sources Fredrickson and CIho4196. These resistant QTL haplotypes were rare in the susceptible cultivars and accessions grown in the upper Midwest USA. Some two- and six-rowed accessions were identified with high FHB resistance, but contained distinct haplotypes at FHB QTLs from known resistance sources. These germplasm warrant further genetic studies and possible incorporation into barley breeding programs. 相似文献

The importance of wild hosts of Anguillulina dipsaci Kühn as carriers of infection needs no emphasis. The occurrence of the eelworm in the weeds, cleavers ( Galium aparine ) and duckweed ( Stellaria media ) taken in crops of oats and field beans which were themselves suffering from stem eelworm disease, was recorded by Johnson (1936) and Johnson & Thompson (1937); Walton (1937) confirmed the occurrence of infested cleavers plants in eelworm-infested oats. Walton also stated that experiments indicated that seed oats failed to carry eelworm infection, and from circumstantial evidence similar to that recorded by Johnson (1936) stated that "infestations of oat crops which occur, even after the absence of the crop for more than six years, are in all probability attributable to weeds rather than to infested seed". The present writer failed to obtain living eelworms from oat seed from infested crops in Yorkshire. This paper summarizes the results of field observations and experiments accumulated mainly during the past three years. 相似文献

A range of oat species, species hybrids and derived addition lines, varied in their level of race non-specific resistance to mildew. This resistance prevented attempted primary penetration by a proportion of spores. It was generally expressed more strongly in fifth than in first formed leaves and thus appeared to be a component of adult plant resistance. Penetration was most frequently arrested at the infection peg stage, implicating the papilla formed by the host as a defence mechanism. Epidermal cells close to stomata were more commonly invaded than others, but only in two of ten lines examined was preferential stomatal subsidiary cell infection observed. Where penetration was successful, host resistance could operate by arresting infections prior to the establishment of functional host/pathogen relations. In hybrids between resistant wild species and a susceptible cultivated oat, the level of both forms of resistance was reduced, indicating a similar effect of the susceptible host genome on genes conditioning both resistances. 相似文献

In 621 samples of wild oats, collected in England and Wales by N.A.A.S. and N.I.A.B. Officers, only two species ( Avena fatua and A. ludoviciana ) were found but both were very variable. A. fatua occurred in all wheat- and barley-growing areas, in both winter and spring corn and on all soil types. A. ludoviciana occurred (with two exceptions) only within approximately 80 miles radius of Oxford, mainly on heavy soila and chiefly in winter corn.
The amount of wild oats present appeared to depend on the frequency in the rotation of corn or other crops in which wild oats would shed seed. Deep ploughing often increased the infestation. The data did not show whether a field could be freed of wild oats by grassing down for a number of years, nor what is the maximum period of survival of buried wild oat seeds. 相似文献

Rust is a serious and the most prevalent groundnut disease in tropical and subtropical growing regions of the world. A total
of 164 recombinant inbred lines derived from resistant (VG 9514) and susceptible (TAG 24) cultivated groundnut parents were
screened for rust resistance in five environments. Subsequent genotyping of these lines with 109 simple sequence repeat (SSR)
markers generated a genetic linkage map with 24 linkage groups. The total length of the linkage map was 882.9 cM with an average
of 9.0 cM between neighbouring markers. The markers pPGPseq4A05 and gi56931710 flanked the rust resistance gene at map distances
of 4.7 cM and 4.3 cM, respectively, in linkage group 2. The significant association of these two markers with the rust reaction
was also confirmed by discriminant analysis. The informative SSR markers classified rust-resistant and susceptible groups
with 99.97% correctness. The SSR markers pPGPseq4A05 and gi56931710 were able to identify all the susceptible genotypes from
a set of 20 cultivated genotypes differing in rust reaction. Tagging of the rust resistance locus with linked SSR markers
will be useful in selecting the rust resistant genotypes from segregating populations and in introgressing the rust resistance
genes from diploid wild species. 相似文献

Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD), caused by cotton leaf curl Burewala virus (CLCuBV), has emerged as a major threat to cotton production in Pakistan. Resistance to CLCuBV was evaluated in cultivated and wild cotton genotypes representing six Gossypium species by visual symptom scoring and virus assessment using PCR tests. Considerable variation in responses was observed when using whitefly and graft transmission to inoculate Gossypium genotypes with CLCuBV in field and greenhouse experiments. Under field evaluation, all cultivated genotypes of Gossypium hirsutum and three genotypes of G. barbadense were susceptible. Eleven genotypes that represented six wild and cultivated Gossypium species were considered to be highly resistant as they were free from infection. Similar results were obtained when these genotypes were tested using whitefly transmission. To verify these findings, 132 cultivated and wild genotypes were tested by graft inoculation. All G. hirsutum genotypes (116 cultivated, 1 wild, 1 transgenic Coker-312 and 1 non-transgenic Coker-312), three G. barbadense genotypes and one G. thurberi genotype were highly susceptible and exhibited symptoms 9–12 days after grafting. Four genotypes of G. arboreum and one genotype of G. anomalum did not express symptoms but had a detectable level of virus. One genotype of G. herbaceum and three wild genotypes of G. hirsutum showed mild symptoms (severity indexes of 1–2) and exhibited delayed disease development. These genotypes were classified as moderately resistant to resistant. Resistant genotypes that were identified in this study will be useful sources for exploitation of breeding programmes aimed at developing CLCuBV-resistant varieties and increasing genetic diversity. 相似文献

Inheritance and sources of resistance to bacterial speck of tomato caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Inheritance of resistance to bacterial speck of tomato was determined by analysing F1 F2 and backcross progenies of crosses involving a susceptible (VF-198) and a resistant cultivar (Rehovot-13). The results fit the hypothesis that resistance is controlled by a single dominant gene in interaction with minor genes. Cultivar susceptibility to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato was tested under greenhouse conditions under high inoculum pressure using infested tomato seeds together with infested soils and spray-inoculated wounded plants. Of 21 species, cultivars and lines, Rehovot-13, Ontario 7710 and Lycopersiconpimpinellifolium P.I. 126927 were found to be resistant to the pathogen. VF-198 and Tropic-VF were the most susceptible. Extra Marmande, Saladette, Acc.339944–3 and the wild type Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme were moderately resistant. 相似文献

Aldicarb at 1.5 or 4.5 kg ha-1 applied around the seeds at sowing greatly increased the yields of a range of crop plants in soil heavily infested with stem nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci, ‘oat race’). Yield responses could be largely explained by stem nematode control in onions, field beans, peas, Manod oats and maize but not in wheat, Maris Tabard oats, lucerne or sugar beet. Aldicarb lessened stem nematode attacks and lessened stem nematode increase in host plants. The supposedly resistant oat Manod was susceptible, whereas Maris Tabard was resistant, as were Peniarth, Pennal, Panema, Pennant, Maris Quest and Milford, whose resistances derive from Grey Winter. Maris Tabard outyielded resistant Panema, Peniarth and Pennal and susceptible Maris Osprey and Manod on infested soil. ‘Tulip root’ is not an infallible guide to susceptibility of oats to stem nematode. We advocate using a mixture of nematode populations in breeding for resistance to stem nematodes. 相似文献

Summary Genes conferring resistance to the beet cyst nematode (Heterodera schachtii Schm.) have been transferred to sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) from three wild species of the Procumbentes section using monosomic addition and translocation lines, because no meiotic recombination occurs between chromosomes of cultured and wild species. In the course of a project to isolate the nematode resistance genes by strategies of reverse genetics, probes were cloned from DNA of a fragmented B. procumbens chromosome carrying a resistance gene, which had been isolated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. One probe (pRK643) hybridized with a short dispersed repetitive DNA element, which was found only in wild beets, and thus may be used as a molecular marker for nematode resistance to progenies of monosomic addition lines segregating resistant and susceptible individuals. Additional probes for the resistance gene region were obtained with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based strategy using repetitive primers to amplify DNA located between repetitive elements. One of these probes established the existence of at least six different chromosomes from wild beet species, each conferring resistance independently of the others. A strict correlation between the length of the wild beet chromatin introduced in fragment addition and translocation lines and the repeat copy number has been used physically to map the region conferring resistance to a chromosome segment of 0.5-3 Mb. 相似文献

Tomato crops are parasitised by a large and ever increasing number of pathogens. For tomato, the genetic control of pathogens
is very used in practice. The sources of resistance occur monogenic and dominant. Their sources are the wild species closely
related to the cultivated form.
Many open-pollinated varieties presently cultivated posses genetic resistance to three or four pathogens. With the increasing
use of F1 hybrids it is possible to use varieties cumulating four to six resistances.
During the last years several new resistances were identified and breeders are introducing these in modern varieties cumulating
various resistances and particular qualities now required by specific markets, notably fruit long life and good taste.
Some interesting resistances are difficult to select. There are the cases with the oligogenic partial resistances also when
the resistance tests are difficult to carry out. In some cases using molecular markers can permit the selection.
The wild species of Lycopersicon continue to be the hope to control diseases and pests. Nevertheless, modern varieties derived from interspecific crosses
can be sources of new resistances sometimes linked to the expected resistances. New hopes appear with the transgenosis, notably
to control various viruses.
The present practical situation of the genetic resistance is presented for various cultural conditions. 相似文献

Mutations in the eIF(iso)4G translation initiation factor confer high resistance of rice to Rice yellow mottle virus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We report here evidence of the role that the isoform of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4G (eIF(iso)4G) plays in naturally occurring resistance in plant/virus interactions. A genetic and physical mapping approach was developed to isolate the Rymv1 locus controlling the high recessive resistance to Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) in the rice (Oryza sativa) variety Gigante. The locus was mapped to a 160-kb interval containing a gene from the eIF(iso)4G family. The stable transformation of a resistant line with the cDNA of this gene, derived from a susceptible variety, resulted in the loss of resistance in transgenic plants. The allelic variability of this gene was analysed in three resistant and 17 susceptible varieties from different cultivated rice species or subspecies. Compared with susceptible varieties, resistant varieties present specific alleles, characterized by either amino acid substitutions or short amino-acid deletions in the middle domain of the protein. The structure of this domain was modelled and showed that the substitutions were clustered on a small surface patch. This suggests that this domain may be involved in an interaction with the virus. 相似文献
