Summary The meiotic behaviour of chromosomes was studied in four inbred lines and their F 1 hybrids of P. typhoides. The inbred lines showed a decrease in mean chiasma frequency when compared with the population plants, but differed from one another in their mean chiasma frequencies. Together with the decrease in mean chiasma frequency the inbreds showed variation in mean chiasma frequencies. The inbred lines showed a number of meiotic abnormalities such as extra chromosomes, extra fragments, desynapsis, persistent nucleoli and differential condensation of chromosomes. The F 1 hybrids of these inbreds exhibited heterosis for chiasma frequency. All the F 1's had mean chiasma frequencies higher than the means of the respective participating parents. The F 1's, however, differed in the degree of heterosis exhibited. In the F 1 hybrids, the variation in mean chiasma frequency, both between plants and between PMC's within plants, was significantly lower than that of the inbred lines. The effect of environment was studied in the inbred lines and their F 1 hybrids. The mean chiasma frequencies of the inbred lines were significantly lower, and the variation in mean chiasma frequencies was greater, in the stress season. The mean chiasma frequencies of F 1's did not show any significant differences between the two seasons. The F 1's exhibited less variation in mean chiasma frequency than the inbred lines, showing that F 1's were developmentally more stable. The F 1's did not show any meiotic abnormalities in either season.  相似文献

Virus infection of Brussels sprout crops was widespread in Britain in 1974–76. Infected plants contained mostly cauliflower mosaic (CaMV) and turnip mosaic (TuMV) viruses but occasionally broccoli necrotic yellows virus (BNYV) was also found. The most seriously affected cultivar was the F1 hybrid cv. Fasolt. Other hybrids including cvs Achilles, Citadel and King Arthur were more tolerant of infection. A key was developed for assessing the reactions of various F1 hybrids and their parent inbred lines to CaMV + TuMV. Tests showed that the mean symptom severity of hybrids was usually less than the mean symptom severity of the parent inbreds, indicating that resistance to infection is partially dominant. The reactions of infected inbreds grown in winter under glasshouse conditions (15–18°C) were closely correlated with those of plants grown in the field. Thus, rapid selection of virus-tolerant inbreds can be made under glasshouse conditions.  相似文献

This study was conducted to determine the reciprocal effects for anther culture response in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) using a set of 4 × 4 full diallel crosses. Both reciprocal and nuclear genetic effects were highly significant for anther culture response and useful for selection and breeding purposes. General combining ability (GCA) effects were predominant for all investigated anther culture traits. Also, significant differences for specific combining ability (SCA) effects were detected between reciprocal crosses. Although significant reciprocal differences for responding anther, callus number and green plant regeneration were recorded in some reciprocal crosses, there were no significant reciprocal differences for albino plant regeneration. The use of one parent as male or female could lead to change at the production of green plants from the F1 hybrids and screening of inbred lines for response to anther culture, without reciprocal effects, could decrease the utilization of breeding material.  相似文献

Results are presented for the performance of improved inbred lines of Brussels sprouts grown in replicated and fully guarded plots. Some lines were identified which out-performed the reference F1 hybrid, Gower, for the yield of marketable sprouts and for sprout quality. No lines were found which were superior for both of these traits. These results support earlier contentions that inbred line performance in Brussels sprouts could be improved to levels comparable with those of commercial F1 hybrids. The genetic gains required to achieve commercial parity with hybrids for all agronomically important traits continue to be large. Therefore, the use of inbred lines as commercial cultivars can only be viewed as a long term objective. Previous studies have identified additive x additive epistasis and the segregation of many loci as important factors limiting the genetic gains to be expected from a single cycle of crossing and inbreeding. In addition to these factors the current study identifies areas of difficulty encountered when attempting to screen and select large numbers of inbred lines, produced either by single seed descent or by anther culture, in a single season. Evidence is presented which suggests that imperfect visual selection and/or genotype × seasonal interactions may substantially reduce the efficiency of selections based upon a single trial of very many unreplicated lines.  相似文献

 The challenge to maize breeders is to identify inbred lines that produce highly heterotic hybrids. In the present study we surveyed genetic divergence among 13 inbred lines of maize using DNA markers and assessed the relationship between genetic distance and hybrid performance in a diallel set of crosses between them. The parental lines were assayed for DNA polymorphism using 135 restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and 209 amplified-fragment polymorphisms (AFLPs). Considerable variation among inbreds was detected with RFLP and AFLP markers. Moreover AFLPs detect polymorphisms more efficiently in comparison to RFLPs, due to the larger number of loci assayed in a single PCR reaction. Genetic distances (GDs), calculated from RFLP and AFLP data, were greater among lines belonging to different heterotic groups compared to those calculated from lines of the same heterotic group. Cluster analysis based on GDs revealed associations among lines which agree with expectations based on pedigree information. The GD values of the 78 F1 crosses were partioned into general (GGD) and specific (SGD) components. Correlations of GD with F1 performance for grain yield were positive but too small to be of predictive value. The correlations of SGDs, particularly those based on AFLP data, with specific combining-ability effects for yield may have a practical utility in predicting hybrid performance.

Summary Hybrid embryos resulting from crosses between a highly regenerable maize germplasm (Hi II) and certain elite inbreds were treated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing the uidA (GUS) and pat genes under the control of different constitutive promoters. Six of the elite inbred lines were derived from a Lancaster background and three were derived from an Iowa Stiff Stalk background. Hybrid embryos from all three Stiff Stalk lines gave transgenic events at various frequencies, two of them at a comparable frequency to that observed with Hi II embryos. Embryos from only one Lancaster/Hi II hybrid were successfully transformed and the frequency was quite low. Additional Lancaster elite inbreds were then tested as a hybrid with Hi II and failed to produce a single transgenic event. The transgenic Hi II/elite events showed many characteristics of ‘hybrid vigor’ including more aggressive rooting, thicker stems, and taller stature than plants derived from Hi II events. The hybrid T0 plants exhibited excellent tassel development in the greenhouse with abundant pollen shed. Seed set in the greenhouse was significantly (3–5-fold) higher than with Hi II transformats. Attempts to transform embryos derived from self or sibling crosses of the four inbred lines that were successful as hybrids with Hi II did not produce any transgenic events. T0 plants having ∼50% elite genomic contribution perform nearly as well in the greenhouse as seed-derived elite inbred parents and offer a significantly reduced time line for recombinant protein product development from transgenic plants.  相似文献

Using two varieties, their reciprocal hybrids, F8 lines and doubled haploids, results confirmed that three genetic components are involved in wheat anther culture ability, viz embryo induction frequency, regeneration ability and the frequency of albinism. In these experiments, no significant maternal effects were noticed. For embryo yields, transgressive lines were obtained from hybrids between distant genotypes. Regeneration of green plants depended upon two independent traits: regeneration ability and the frequency of albinos. F8 lines and two doubled haploids equaled the 50% regeneration rate of the hybrids, but they only regenerated green plants. Based upon cytological examination and gliadin patterns, it is suggested that genes favoring regeneration ability could be linked to the 1BL-1RS translocated chromosome from Aurora.Abbreviations DH doubled haploids - MS Murashige and Skoog - MPG multicellular pollen grains  相似文献

Summary Performance of a random array of recombinant inbred lines derived by single seed descent from five different source populations of Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera) is presented. A total of 2,356 lines were tested in trials during 1985 and 1986. Three of the source populations were derived from double crosses between F1 hybrids. These hybrids show a considerable heterotic advantage over their inbred parents for the most important agronomic traits. The recombinant inbred lines performed, on average, less well than the parental inbred material, indicating that additive x additive genie interactions may make a significant contribution to the performance of current inbred material. Nevertheless, the very large variation among the recombinant inbred lines permitted many lines to be identified which outperformed the best parental inbred for all traits. Two lines outperformed the reference F1 hybrid, Gower, for an index that included marketable yield and quality. Consideration was also given to the dangers of misinterpreting phenotypically based proportions. Accordingly, response equations were used to ascertain the real genetic progress that was made. Advance seemed small when compared with the large heterotic effect, which is consistent with the segregation of a large number of loci. The distribution of the recombinant inbred lines was compared to predictions made from early generation trials. There was broad agreement but significant discrepancies existed which, it is suggested, may arise from the effects of genotype-environment interactions.  相似文献

Young plants of maize inbred lines CE777, CE704, and CE810 and their F1 hybrids displaying a positive heterotic effect in various photosynthetic characteristics were exposed to low temperature during their early growth developmental stage. The photochemical activity of isolated mesophyll chloroplasts and the contents of photosynthetic pigments in leaves of stressed and non-stressed plants were compared with the aim to find out the possible changes in the relationship between parents and hybrids, and to determine the genetic basis of heterosis in F1 generation. Strong decrease in the content of chlorophylls was observed for all genotypes examined when plants were subjected to low growth temperature. Similar change was recorded for Hill reaction activity (HRA) of inbred lines but not of their F1 hybrids, and no significant response at all was found for photosystem 1 (PS1) activity or the total carotenoids content. The intraspecific variation due to differences between genotypes was found for most of photosynthetic characteristics examined. This variation was caused by the additive and dominance genetic effects. Positive dominance was the main cause of positive heterosis in HRA and in the contents of photosynthetic pigments and was much more pronounced in the stressed plants compared to the non-stressed ones. The maternal additive effects participated in the inheritance of contents of photosynthetic pigments in plants exposed to low temperature, too. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Glycinebetaine-deficient inbreds of Zea mays do not exhibit a general deficiency of nitrogenous solutes; the total free amino acid levels of betaine-deficient lines are not significantly less than those of inbreds which exhibit >100-fold higher betaine levels. Betaine-deficient inbreds are characterized by extremely low betaine: total free amino acid ratios (<0.0015). Highly significant correlations are demonstrated between the expected mid-parent and observed betaine:amino acid ratios of 30 hybrids of known pedigree. In 12 hybrids constructed from a betaine-deficient male parent (inbred 1506), the observed betaine:amino acid ratios of the hybrids are proportional to the betaine:amino acid ratios of the female parents (r = 0.83). Two hybrids, 1146 × 1074 and 1146 × 1506, were chosen for further genetic analysis. The common female parent (1146) and inbred 1074 both exhibit betaine:amino acid ratios of 0.090, a value which is approximately 90-fold greater than the betaine:amino acid ratio of inbred 1506. Hybrid 1146 × 1074 exhibits almost exactly twice the betaine:amino acid ratio of hybrid 1146 × 1506. If inbred 1506 is homozygous recessive for a single nuclear gene responsible for the phenotype of betaine deficiency, and if inbreds 1146 and 1074 are homozygous dominant for this allele, then this twofold difference in betaine:amino acid ratio must be associated with the homozygous dominant and heterozygous conditions, respectively, for 1146 × 1074 and 1146 × 1506. Evidence is presented from both greenhouse and field evaluations of F2 populations of these hybrids that a single nuclear recessive gene is most likely responsible for the phenotype of betaine-deficiency in inbred 1506. Approximately 25% of the F2 segregants from 1146 × 1506 exhibited extremely low betaine:amino acid ratios (<0.0015), whereas 0% of the F2 segregants from 1146 × 1074 exhibited this phenotype. The segregation patterns with respect to betaine:amino acid ratio suggest a 1:2:1 segregation ratio for homozygous recessive:heterozygous:homozygous dominant individuals within the 1146 × 1506-F2 population.  相似文献

In the studied conditions of cellulose acetate electrophoresis only glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (PGI, EC 5.3.1.9) appeared to be a polymorphic isozyme. The PGI analysis of 23 cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) inbred lines, carried out in two years, allowed detecting off-type individuals in four lines. Seed contamination caused by sib-pollination was detected in 10 out of 19 F1 hybrids. In five of them the contamination did not exceed 5 %, and in the remaining five, ranged from 27–52 %. Also homozygosity of 67 plants obtained through anther culture in vitro was confirmed. The results indicate that PGI electrophoresis in cellulose acetate matrix is very fast and can be useful in the assessment of genetic purity in cabbage breeding materials.  相似文献

Summary Anthers of two maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines, DBTS (P1) and B73 (P2), their F1, F2 and first backcross generations — F1 x DBTS (B1), and F1 x B73 (B2) — were float cultured in YP medium to study the inheritance of corn anther culturability using generation mean analysis. Significant effects of generation were observed for the three traits measured: anther response (%), frequency of embryos (%) and anther productivity. Variation among the generations was similar for anther response and frequency of embryos: no significant differences were found among the P1, F1, F2 and B1 means, but the means of P2 and B2 were significantly lower than those of the other generations. For anther productivity, the F2 generation tended to have a slightly higher tendency for multiple embryo formation. A simple additive-dominance model was adequate in explaining the inheritance of anther response and frequency of embryos, but digenic epistasis (additive x dominance) was involved in the inheritance of anther productivity. Additive genetic variance was higher than non-additive genetic variance for all the traits; however, only environmental variance was significant. Narrow-sense heritability estimates were 65% and 75% for anther response and frequency of embryos, respectively. Significant inter-plant variation was observed within generations, even for the inbred line DBTS, but isozymic analysis involving five enzyme loci did not reveal any genotypic variability within the inbred lines DBTS and B73.  相似文献

Summary Inheritance of the ability to respond in wheat anther culture was studied from 6×2 reciprocal crosses between six varieties with high and two varieties with low capacity for green plant formation and their parents, replicated in two environments. Effects of genotypes dominated embryo formation and percentages of green plants, accounting for 78.4% and 85.4% of total variation, respectively, while smaller genetic effects were indicated for regeneration. Nuclear genes could explain almost all the genotype effects in this material. Embryo formation showed heterosis over high parent for 5 of the 12 hybrids, while percentages of green plants from the hybrids were intermediate to the parents. General Combining Ability (GCA) could explain 78.8% of the variation for embryo formation among the hybrids, whereas differences in percentage of green plants were dominated by Specific Combining Ability (SCA), accounting for 67.9% of hybrid variation. A positive correlation (r=0.81**) was observed between the genetic capacity for regeneration and green plant formation. Analysis of covariance indicated that effects causing GCA for green plant formation were mainly responsible for this correlation. A regression model with two parallel lines divided the six parent lines with high green plant formation into three groups with respect to their reactions with the two testers. The results are discussed with regard to possible involvement of two sets of nuclear genes affecting the percentage of green plants obtained in wheat anther culture: one set consisting of mainly additive effects affecting green plant percentage through an initial effect on regeneration ability, and another set of two or a few more major genes with dominance or epistatic effects uncorrelated with regeneration.  相似文献

Inheritance of the ability to produce androgenic structures and regenerate plants in an in vitro anther culture with doubled-haploid spring barley lines derived from F1 reciprocal hybrids from crosses of cultivars with contrast (high × low), high (high × high), and low (low × low) growth capacity is studied. A general trend towards transgressive segregation in terms of the indices, “number of anthers with new growths” and “rate of regeneration of plants,” was found. The data attest to a major role of nonallelic interaction of genes in genetic control of in vitro androgenesis and their variance distribution in the parent forms of the hybrids.  相似文献

Summary Changes that may have occurred over the past 50 years of hybrid breeding in maize (Zea maize L.) with respect to heterosis for yield and heterozygosity at the molecular level are of interest to both maize breeders and quantitative geneticists. The objectives of this study were twofold: The first, to compare two diallels produced from six older maize inbreds released in the 1950's and earlier and six newer inbreds released during the 1970's with respect to (a) genetic variation for restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and (b) the size of heterosis and epistatic effects, and the second, to evaluate the usefulness of RFLP-based genetic distance measures in predicting heterosis and performance of single-cross hybrids. Five generations (parents, F1; F2, and backcrosses) from the 15 crosses in each diallel were evaluated for grain yield and yield components in four Iowa environments. Genetic effects were estimated from generation means by ordinary diallel analyses and by the Eberhart-Gardner model. Newer lines showed significantly greater yield for inbred generations than did older lines but smaller heterosis estimates. In most cases, estimates of additive x additive epistatic effects for yield and yield components were significantly positive for both groups of lines. RFLP analyses of inbred lines included two restriction enzymes and 82 genomic DNA clones distributed over the maize genome. Eighty-one clones revealed polymorphisms with at least one enzyme. In each set, about three different RFLP variants were typically found per RFLP locus. Genetic distances between inbred lines were estimated from RFLP data as Rogers' distance (RD), which was subdivided into general (GRD) and specific (SRD) Rogers' distances within each diallel. The mean and range of RDs were similar for the older and newer lines, suggesting that the level of heterozygosity at the molecular level had not changed. GRD explained about 50% of the variation among RD values in both sets. Cluster analyses, based on modified Rogers' distances, revealed associations among lines that were generally consistent with expectations based on known pedigree and on previous research. Correlations of RD and SRD with f1 performance, specific combining ability, and heterosis for yield and yield components, were generally positive, but too small to be of predictive value. In agreement with previous studies, our results suggest that RFLPs can be used to investigate relationships among maize inbreds, but that they are of limited usefulness for predicting the heterotic performance of single crosses between unrelated lines.Joint contribution from Cereal and Soybean Research Unit, USDA, Agricultural Research Service and Journal Paper no.

Plant phenotypic plasticity describes altered phenotypic performance of an individual when grown in different environments. Exploring genetic architecture underlying plant plasticity variation may help mitigate the detrimental effects of a rapidly changing climate on agriculture, but little research has been done in this area to date. In the present study, we established a population of 976 maize F1 hybrids by crossing 488 diverse inbred lines with two elite testers. Genome-wide association study identified hundreds of quantitative trait loci associated with phenotypic plasticity variation across diverse F1 hybrids, the majority of which contributed very little variance, in accordance with the polygenic nature of these traits. We identified several quantitative trait locus regions that may have been selected during the tropical-temperate adaptation process. We also observed heterosis in terms of phenotypic plasticity, in addition to the traditional genetic value differences measured between hybrid and inbred lines, and the pattern of which was affected by genetic background. Our results demonstrate a landscape of phenotypic plasticity in maize, which will aid in the understanding of its genetic architecture, its contribution to adaptation and heterosis, and how it may be exploited for future maize breeding in a rapidly changing environment.  相似文献

Summary Anther culture of secondary octoploid triticale (AABBDDRR) and F1 hybrids (AABBDDR) of octoploid triticale x common wheat crosses was carried out, and 96 pollen-derived plants were developed and studied cytologically. In addition to the 8 types of pollen-derived plants with the theoretically predicted chromosome number, plants with the chromosome constitutions of 2n = 38, 43, 45, 47, 74, and mixoploids were obtained. The haploids and the diploids had different distributions. The frequencies of plants with one and two (pairs of) rye chromosomes were extremely high, and anther culture may be an expeditious route for creating alien addition lines of distant hybrid F1s. Chromosome aberrations, including deletions, inversions, translocations, as well as isochromosomes and ring chromosomes, were observed in some plants. Abnormal meioses, such as chromosome non-disjunction, were also found. The reasons for the chromosome aberrations are discussed.  相似文献

An increase in nuclear DNA, without an increase in chromosome number, has been found to occur as a result of anther culture in Nicotiana tabacum L. The objective of this study was to determine the cytological consequences of this DNA amplification in F1 hybrids between a doubled haploid that had undergone a substantial increase in DNA and the cultivar from which that doubled haploid was derived. Mitotic and meiotic analyses were performed on plants obtained from reciprocal crosses of N. tabacum cv. NC95 and NC95 SCDHL 12, a doubled haploid line that has 41% more DNA than the parental cultivar. While no cytological abnormalities were observed in either parental line, numerous abnormalities were seen in both somatic and meiotic tissues of the F1 hybrid. Chromosome losses, which appeared to result from spindle errors, were observed in these tissues. It is speculated that the spindle errors may be the result of a genetic unbalance caused by combining genomes with widely differing amounts of DNA. In addition to the spindle errors, a quadrivalent with an atypical morphology was observed in meiotic diplotene and metaphase I cells of the hybrid. The quadrivalent configuration was interpreted to represent pairing between amplified homologous regions in homeologous chromosomes. Further investigations of additional doubled haploid × cultivar lines is required before the significance of these findings to the anther culture process in N. tabacum can be fully assessed.  相似文献

Androgenic lines of Brassica juncea cv. PR-45 raised by anther culture, were screen for genetic variation. 393 androgenic plants were transferred to pots to study the R0 generation. These plants showed substantial variation for different characters. Seed progenies of 27 lines of R0 plants were sown in the field to study R1 generation. Androgenic plants within lines were significantly homogeneous for the various agronomic characters studied. Two lines were shorter (18 – 20 %) than the control plants, with a remarkable feature of early maturation. Three lines showed 27 – 31 % higher yield than the parent cultivar.  相似文献

Two carrot cultivars, ‘Sytan’ and ‘Long Chantenay’, representing commercially important carrot types and selected for their partial resistance to the carrot fly (Psila rosae) were crossed as the basis for a single seed descent programme. The resulting F1 progeny were mass pollinated to produce an F2 generation and approximately 2000 plants were raised from this segregating family in the glasshouse in 1981. By careful choice of sowing date and glasshouse temperatures it was possible to stimulate the plants to flower within 10 months. Individual king umbels were enclosed within bags and pollinated with blowflies. Resulting seed was sown in pots in the following August and the process of seed production repeated in a 12 month cycle. Each inbred line was selfed in this way over three generations until the F5 stage. Stocks of seed were then multiplied. A total of 753 inbreds were produced by 1987. The vigour of each inbred was evaluated in glasshouse tests and the level of chlorogenic acid was determined by a fluorescence technique. The most vigorous lines with the lowest levels of chlorogenic acid were tested in field experiments against carrot fly at Wellesbourne. Nine inbreds with promising agronomic quality and moderate resistance to carrot fly were selected and seeded. These nine lines were submitted to seed companies with the aim of developing new cultivars of carrot.  相似文献
