不同产地降香黄檀种子和幼苗性状的变异研究

为了探讨不同产地降香黄檀(Dalbergia odorifera)种子和幼苗的表型性状变异规律,该研究以来源于海南、福建、广西、广东等省/区10个产地降香黄檀的种子及在广西桂林培育的幼苗为材料,采用方差分析、相关性分析和主成分分析对其种子和幼苗生长的9个表型性状进行了比较研究。结果表明:降香黄檀种子和幼苗的表型性状存在较大变异,9个性状间均差异极显著,各性状平均变异系数(CV)为12.50%,变异系数范围在7.94%～18.89%,幼苗生长性状的变异高于种子性状的变异,说明种子性状的稳定性较高。相关分析表明各表型性状间及表型性状与地理-气候因子间均存在不同的相关性,各表型性状与经度、纬度及年降水量均无显著相关性,而海拔、年均温度与年降雨量是影响降香黄檀种子和幼苗性状的主要因子。利用主成分综合得分法,筛选出了3个在种子形态、幼苗生长和萌发情况等方面较好的家系,按综合得分排序分别为仙游产地、儋州产地、尖峰岭产地。研究结果可为降香黄檀优良种质资源的筛选提供科学依据。     

Analysis of genetic effects on nutrient quality traits in indica rice

Nine cytoplasmic male-sterile lines and five restorer lines were used in an incomplete diallel cross to analyze seed effects, cytoplasmic effects, and maternal gene effects on nutrient quality traits of indica rice (Oryza sauva L.). The results indicated that nutrient quality traits were controlled by cytoplasmic and maternal effects as well as by seed direct effects. Maternal effects for lysine content (LC), lysine index (LI), and the ratio of lysine content to protein content (RLP) were more important than seed direct effects, while protein content (PC) and protein index (PI) were mainly affected by seed direct effects. Cytoplasmic effects accounted for 2.41–20.80% of the total genetic variation and were significant for all nutrient quality traits. Additive genetic effects were much more important than dominance effects for all of the traits studied, so that selection could be applied for these traits in early generations.     

Variation in seed and seedling traits in Pithecellobium pedicellare,a tropical rain forest tree

Summary Pithecellobium pedicellare, a mimosoid legume, is a large canopy tree in the tropical rain forests of Costa Rica. We examined the pattern of variation in seed weight, germination date, hypocotyl length (stem), and rachis length (the first leaf) of the seedlings in this species. Seeds collected from widely dispersed individual trees at the La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica, were randomly planted in blocks, and grown under controlled, indoor conditions for about 2 weeks. There-fore, we were able to quantify the effects of maternal family on mean seed weight and the effects of maternal family and microenvironment on the remaining traits examined. A significant effect of maternal family was detected for all traits. In particular, the maternal effects on germination date and seedling size traits which were consistently significant even after controlling the initial seed weight may indicate that the maternal effects reflect, at least to some extent, maternal genetic control over these traits. Despite overall strong maternal effects, the performance of maternal siblings, such as the rachis length, differed among blocks. The sensitivity of maternal siblings to the local environments may contribute to the maintenance of genetic variability in this highly outcrossing tropical species.     

Genetic control of the opaque-2 gene and background polygenes over some kernel traits in maize (Zea mays L.)

Some kernel traits of agronomical importance in maize are affected by the opaque-2 (o2) gene and background polygenes, which express in different genetic systems such as embryo, endosperm, cytoplasm and maternal plant. A genetic model for seed quantitative traits with the o2 gene effects and polygenic effects as well as their GE interactions was used for protein content, lysine content, oil content and kernel density in maize. The results suggested that the o2 gene was involved in the traits investigated but the effects of the o2 gene were distinctive on various traits. The effects of the o2 gene were large on lysine content and protein content while minor on oil content. There was a substantially wide quantitative variation from polygenes expressing in different genetic systems for the traits evaluated. Significant GE interactions of the o2 gene and background polygenes declared that not only the main effects but also specific expressions depending on environments were responsible for variation of the traits studied. There seemed to have strong maternal heterosis and slight embryo heterosis for kernel density.     

Parental effects in Lychnis flos-cuculi. I: Seed size,germination and seedling performance in a controlled environment

Selection responses in natural plant populations depend on how the phenotypic variation of traits is composed. The contributions of nuclear genetic, maternal, paternal, environmental and inbreeding effects to variation in time to germination, germination percentage, and seed- and seedling size were studied in a population of Lychnis flos-cuculi. It was found that: (1) Maternal effects predominated in the determination of progeny seed size and germination characteristics; (2) Maternal environment during seed development was less important than maternal genotype; (3) Small but significant variation within maternal families could be observed among individuals sired by different fathers; (4) Additive genetic variance was significant for seedling size 4 weeks after germination. In conclusion, selection shortly after emergence will mainly favour particular maternal genotypes, while selection later in the life cycle may act upon zygotic genotypes. Inbreeding depression was significant, especially for vegetative growth. Consistent differences were found among maternal genotypes in the degree of variation in the time to germination, suggesting that selection could operate to favour polymorphic or uniform germination behaviour.     

Phenotypic variation in seedlings of a “keystone” tree species (Quercus douglasii): the interactive effects of acorn source and competitive environment

Blue oak (Quercus douglasii) is a deciduous tree species endemic to California that currently exhibits poor seedling survival to sapling age classes. We used common garden techniques to examine how genetic variation at regional and local scales affected phenotypic expression in traits affecting oak seedling growth and survival. Between-population variation was examined for seedlings grown from acorns collected from a northern, mesic population and a southern, xeric population. Within-population variation was examined by comparing seedlings from different maternal families within the mesic population. Acorns were planted into neighborhoods of an annual dicot (Erodium botrys), an annual grass (Bromus diandrus), and a perennial bunchgrass (Nassella pulchra). By varying the species composition of herbaceous neighborhoods into which acorns were planted, the interactive effects of competition and acorn germplasm source on phenotypic expression could also be examined. Potential maternal effects, expressed as variation in acorn size, were assessed by weighing each acorn before planting. Probability of seedling emergence increased significantly with acorn size in the xeric population but not in the mesic population. Similarly, the effect of acorn size on seedling leaf area, stem weight, and root weight was also population-dependent. At a within-population level, acorn size effects on seedling traits varied significantly among maternal families. In addition to acorn size effects, rates of oak seedling emergence were also dependent on an interaction of population source and competitive environment. Interactions between maternal family and competitive environment in the expression of seedling leaf characters suggest the possibility of genetic variation for plasticity in traits such as specific leaf area. Using carbon isotope discrimination () as an index of relative water-use efficiency (WUE), higher water use efficiency was indicated for oak seedlings grown in the annual plant neighborhoods compared to seedlings grown in the bunchgrass neighborhood. This trend may represent an adaptive plastic response because, compared to the bunchgrass neighborhood, soil water depletion was more rapid within annual plant neighborhoods.

Correlation and path-coefficient analyses of seed-yield components in pearl millet x elephantgrass hybrids

Correlation and path-coefficient analyses have been successful tools in developing selection criteria. Since increased seed yield is an important goal in our pearl millet x elephantgrass [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br. x P. purpureum Schum.] hexaploid breeding program, we used correlation and path-coefficient analyses on seed data. This study was conducted to develop appropriate selection criteria by determining the direct and indirect effects of seed-yield components on seed yield plant^-1. Number of tillers plant^-1, panicles tiller^-1, seeds panicle^-1, 100-seed weight, and seed yield plant^-1, were estimated for individual plants in seven families. Phenotypic (r_p) and genetic correlations (r_g) were calculated, and path analyses (phenotypic and genetic) were carried out according to predetermined causal relationships. Phenotypic and genetic correlations differed in several cases due to large environmental variance and covariance. Phenotypically, all components were positively and significantly associated with seed yield plant^-1. Genotypically, only seeds panicle^-1 and 100-seed weight were significantly correlated. These two components were also positively correlated (r _p=0.55, r _g=0.63), so simultaneous improvement for both components would be feasible. Panicles tiller^-1 and seeds panicle^-1 were negatively correlated (r _g=-0.97). In the path analyses, all direct effects of the components on seed yield plant^-1 were positive. Phenotypic indirect effects were not as important as genetic indirect effects. The components seeds panicle^-1 and 100-seed weight influenced seed yield plant^-1 the greatest, both directly and indirectly.Florida Agricultural Experimental Station Journal Series No. R-03339     

Persistent maternal identity effects on life history traits in<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Daphnia</Emphasis>

The aim of the present study was to examine the magnitude and persistence of maternal effects in Daphnia, in particular maternal identity effects. I studied life history traits of a single clone of Daphnia galeata born to 40 different mothers belonging to three age groups. Maternal identity had large effects on offspring traits, that is, identically treated clonal females differed substantially in respect to the traits of their offspring, including size at birth, age at maturity, and number of second generation offspring. The effects of maternal identity on these traits were largely independent of maternally induced differences in offspring size, indicating that maternal effects were mediated through offspring quality. Maternal age also affected offspring traits: older mothers gave birth to larger offspring which matured earlier, were larger and more fecund, and survived better until maturity. Individuals which were larger at birth also had a better chance of survival. Contrary to expectation, I found little evidence that maternal identity or maternal age had any influence on their offsprings response to fish kairomones.

自然干旱梯度下的酸枣表型变异

表型变异是植物应对环境变化的一种策略。酸枣植物从中国东部沿海到内陆腹地均有分布,其表型性状的变异可能解释其对自然干旱梯度的适应机制。为验证这一假说,以烟台、石家庄、银川、吐鲁番4个自然干旱梯度生境中生长的酸枣三年生植株的12个表型性状为调查研究对象,采用变异系数和巢式方差分析对酸枣的表型变异进行分析。结果表明:(1)从烟台到银川,叶面积、叶长、叶周长和叶柄长总体呈减小的趋势,而比叶面积呈增大的趋势;(2)随着干旱程度的增强,二次枝的长度、二次枝的基部粗、二次枝的枣吊数、茎比密度和茎水分含量均呈减小趋势,并且种子重和种子短轴长也均呈减小的趋势;(3)对沿干旱梯度分布的4个酸枣种群而言,叶性状的平均变异系数(33.70%)枝性状的平均变异系数(32.41%)种子性状的平均变异系数(9.07%),并且酸枣性状间存在很强的协变。结果表明酸枣的地上部分形态性状沿干旱梯度表现出很强的变异,推测在未来的气候变化下,酸枣将通过这种表型变异的有效组合来适应环境变化。

Phenotypic plasticity and population differentiation in seeds and seedlings of the grass Anthoxanthum odoratum

Summary Seeds of Anthoxanthum odoratum were transplanted reciprocally between a xeric and a mesic field population that were genetically differentiated in adult traits. In one experiment seeds were reciprocally buried in bags in the soil, in a second experiment seeds were reciprocally sown in small plots. For most traits, site effects were much larger than seed-source effects. Germination, emergence, mortality of buried seed and recruitment were significantly higher at the xeric site than at the mesic site, irrespective of population of origin. Seed dormancy, was significantly higher for seed originating from the mesic than from the xeric population. Seedling recruits originating from the xeric population tended to be larger at both sites. Fecundity of seedling recruits depended on the environment; fecundities of plants growing in the xeric site had more than double the fecundity of plants growing in the mesic site. Phenotypic plasticity rather than population differences determined variation in performance in the seed and seedling stages.     

油松天然群体的种实性状表型多样性研究

为了揭示油松天然种群在不同地理环境条件下表型变异的程度和规律,在油松整个天然分布范围内选择了12个具有代表性的居群作为研究对象,对其球果、种子、种翅等12个种实性状的变异程度及其与环境因子间关系进行了比较分析。结果显示:(1)各个性状在居群内和居群间均存在较大的变异(CV>12%)。其中千山(QS),曾家镇(ZJ)和互助(HZ)3个居群表现出了较高的变异(CV>20%),而球果干重(CDW)和种子长(CL)是所有表型性状中变异幅度最大的(CV分别为31%和21%),但种翅性状与其他性状相比具有较高的稳定性。(2)巢式设计方差分析表明,在居群内表型分化系数(Vst)变化在3.18%~89.86%之间,而群体间的Vst为38.97%;与其他针叶树种相比,油松拥有较高的表型分化系数,且居群内的变异程度远高于居群间的变异,尤其是千山(QS)、曾家镇(ZJ)和互助(HZ)3个居群,这说明油松具有较高的环境异质性适应能力或恶劣环境耐受能力。(3)相关性分析表明,该研究的各形态特征与潜在蒸发量均为负相关,且大部分形态指标间及它们与潜在蒸发量间存在显著相关性,表明潜在蒸发量是油松形态特征变化的最重要环境影响因子,预示油松最适宜生长于温暖潮湿的环境中;并表明因各形态特征间相互紧密关联,所以它们受环境条件影响而共变。     

COMPETITION PROLONGS EXPRESSION OF MATERNAL EFFECTS IN SEEDLINGS OF ERIGERON ANNUUS (ASTERACEAE)

The timing of expression of environmental maternal effects on seedling growth was investigated in greenhouse-grown populations of Erigeron annuus (Asteraceae). Maternal differences were generated in genetically identical lines grown under high and low nutrient conditions. There were significant differences among maternal families within genotypes for seed size, cotyledon size, number of leaves, and rosette diameter. When seedlings were grown individually, effects of the maternal fertilizer treatment on leaf number and rosette diameter were present early but could not be detected after eight weeks. When seedlings from HIGH and LOW lines were grown in competition, the maternal effects and the relative size advantage of seedlings from HIGH parents increased throughout the experiment. Most of the variation among nutrient treatments for seedling size characters could be explained by variation in initial seed size. In the competition experiment, the increasing magnitude of maternal environmental differences over time masked genetic variation for seedling characters; without competition, the relative contribution of genetic variation increased through time. Under competitive conditions that generate persistent maternal effects on fitness, maternal environmental effects may retard natural selection.

盐磷胁迫对木麻黄和台湾相思种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响

恶劣环境下,人工海防林因面临养分胁迫而经营困难。为探讨盐、磷胁迫对主要海防林树种木麻黄和台湾相思种子萌发及生长的影响,该研究分别用不同浓度的NaCl(盐)和KH₂PO₄(磷)溶液处理种子和浇灌幼苗,测定种子萌发和幼苗生长指标。结果表明：(1)高盐胁迫显著抑制种子萌发,对幼苗生长有一定影响,但两种植物影响程度不同;台湾相思种子萌发耐盐性高于木麻黄,前者相对盐害率最大值为23.03%,后者为89.15%;随着盐浓度增加,木麻黄和台湾相思种子的发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数和活力指数均降低,对应最大值分别为38.70%、34.67%、18.70、0.055和76.67%、62.22%、48.46、6.11。(2)两种植物的株高和根长随盐浓度增加而降低,木麻黄和台湾相思株高分别为12.29～6.01 mm和48.27～17.33 mm,根长分别为8.57～1.45 mm和33.41～5.88 mm;台湾相思根、茎、叶生物量及根冠比均随盐浓度的增加逐渐减小,木麻黄各处理差异较小。(3)台湾相思的种子和幼苗较木麻黄更耐低磷环境,二者最适磷浓度存在差异;木麻黄种...     

The structure of phenotypic variation in gender and floral traits within and among populations of Spergularia marina (Caryophyllaceae)

We sampled four wild populations of the highly autogamous Spergularia marina (Caryophyllaceae) in California to detect and to measure the magnitude of within- and among-population sources of phenotypic variation in gender and floral traits. From flowers and fruits collected from field and greenhouse-raised plants, we measured ovule number, seed number, mean seed mass, pollen production (greenhouse families only), mean pollen grain volume (greenhouse families only), anther number, anther/ovule ratio, pollen/ovule ratio (estimated using different flowers for pollen than for ovules; greenhouse families only), petal number, and petal size. Using greenhouse-raised genotypes, variation among maternal families nested within populations was evaluated for each trait to determine whether populations differ in the degree of maternally transmitted phenotypic variation. For each population, we used 15 greenhouse-raised maternal families to estimate the broad-sense heritability and genetic coefficient of variation of each floral trait. The magnitude and statistical significance of broad-sense heritability estimates were trait- and population-specific. Each population was characterized by a different combination of floral traits that expressed significant maternally transmitted (presumably genetic) variation under greenhouse conditions. Flowers representing two populations expressed low levels of maternally transmitted variation (three or fewer of nine measured traits exhibited significant maternal family effects on phenotype), while flowers representing the other two populations exhibited significant maternal family effects on phenotype for five or more traits. Our ability to detect statistically significant differences among the four populations depended upon the conditions under which plants were grown (field vs. greenhouse) and on the floral trait observed. Field-collected flowers exhibited significant differences among population means for all traits except anther number. Flowers sampled from greenhouse-raised maternal families differed among populations for all traits except ovule number, seed number, and petal size. We detected negligible evidence that genetic correlations constrain selection on floral traits in Spergularia marina.     

沙蒿(Artemisia ordosica)水浸提液对4种伴生草本植物的化感作用

以生长在我国荒漠和半荒漠地区的特有植物沙蒿为供体植物,沙米、虫实、草木樨状黄芪、狗尾草为受体植物,研究了沙蒿根、茎、叶、种子水浸提液对受体植物种子发芽、幼苗生长以及根对NH~+_4和K~+吸收的化感效应的差异,为沙区植被恢复中伴生杂草种类的选择提供理论依据。结果表明:沙蒿水浸提液对4种受体植物种子发芽和幼苗生长均具有显著的化感效应,沙米、虫实、草木樨状黄芪表现为抑制作用,狗尾草表现为促进作用。不同部位沙蒿浸提液的化感作用不同,根浸提液对沙米、虫实、狗尾草的化感效应最强,茎浸提液对草木樨状黄芪的抑制最强。不同植物种及植物的不同发育时期对化感作用的敏感性也不同,在4种受体植物中,沙米受抑制最强,其次为虫实、草木樨状黄芪,且随浸提液浓度增加而显著增强,而狗尾草具有一定的耐受力,表现为促进作用。沙蒿浸提液对受体植物根长的影响最强,其次是种子发芽、苗高和幼苗干质量。浸提液显著降低沙米、虫实、草木樨状黄芪根对NH~+_4和K~+的吸收,增加狗尾草根对NH~+_4和K~+的吸收。研究结果表明雨水淋溶是沙蒿向环境中释放化感物质的途径之一,化感作用在增强沙蒿生存竞争力,扩大种群过程中起着不容忽视的作用,可能是沙蒿单优势种群落形成的原因之一。
