小麦体细胞无性系矮秆变异体AS34株高构成和育种潜力探讨

创制和利用矮秆资源对于小麦品种改良具有重要意义。到目前为止,在小麦属中虽然已鉴定了多个矮秆资源,但多数矮秆资源在小麦中的利用价值有限。本研究对利用无性系变异途径获得的小麦矮秆材料AS34及其与模式小麦品种中国春杂交F1、F2材料进行了株高构成和主要农艺性状分析。结果发现,AS34共有4个节间,比其野生型豫麦66少了1个节间,各个节间长度按相似比例缩短,穗下节长度短于第2节长度;F1株高、节间长度指数介于2个亲本之间,节数与AS34相同,穗长、小穗数、穗粒数超过2个亲本;F2株高、穗长、穗粒数、小穗数变异范围广泛,约70%植株株高为60~89 cm,穗长6.0~9.9 cm、穗粒数50~79粒、小穗数20~24个。结果表明,AS34的矮秆变异由多基因控制,表现为数量性状,其矮秆性状对杂交后代穗长、小穗数、穗粒数等主要农艺性状有正向遗传效应,F2选择穗大、粒多、株高适中优良单株的机率较大,具有很好的育种利用价值。

苎麻疫霉有性生殖导致菌落形态和生长速率在无性后代持续变异的研究

研究了苎麻疫霉（PhytophthoraboehmeriaeSawada）菌株JS-5自交S1代单卵孢株的菌落形态和生长速率在其单游动孢子无性系后代的遗传与变异。结果表明,亲本菌株JS-5的菌落形态和生长速率在连续4代单游动孢子无性系后代稳定遗传,而该菌株的自交S1代的约2／3单卵孢株的上述性状在其单拘无性后代中发生分离,且上述性状的分离在无性单孢后代中至少可连续保持3～4代。本研究结果提示,苎麻疫霉有性生殖导致上述性状的变异,除有性生殖过程中的基因重组外,有性生殖还诱导产生了一种新的机制参与上述性状遗传与变异的调控。本研究还观察到供试菌株及其后代所产生的游动孢子绝大多数细胞内只含有1个细胞核,表明上述机制与异核现象无关。有性生殖导致生物学性状在随后的无性后代中发生持续变异可能是苎麻疫霉生物学性状遗传多样性的重要机制之一。

A model for seed size variation among plants

Summary I developed a model for seed size variation among plants assuming that the pollen captured per flower depends on both the allocation to pollen capture mechanisms per flower and the number of flowers on each plant. I showed that the optimal seed size increases with (1) the total resource allocation to reproduction, (2) decreasing outcross pollen availability, (3) decreasing probability of seedling establishment and (4) decreasing selfing rate. However, optimal seed size does not depend on the total resource allocation if the total number of pollen grains captured by a plant increases linearly with its flower number. In addition, the optimal seed size is not always positively correlated with the optimal resource allocation to pollen capture mechanisms per flower. I discussed implications of the results for seasonal decline in seed size and seed size variations among populations, such as alutitudinal variation.     

Visual assessment of grain yield and its components in single plants and ears of spring barley

Visual assessments of yield/plant and tillers/plant were more effective than unaided assessments of grains/ear and 1000-grain weight on a per plant basis. Assessments of the latter yield components were generally improved by the use of specially developed keys described by Ismail & Valentine (1983). Gains in efficiency were associated with the amount of extra time spent on making these assessments. Assessments of yield/ear were not more effective than assessments of yield/plant. This was attributed to the ease of assessment of tillers/plant which was strongly associated with yield/plant. Assessments of grains/ear and 1000-grain weight in single ears were clearly more effective than corresponding assessments in single plants in which there is high variability between ears. Apart from using keys, further improvements in the assessments of grains/ear and 1000-grain weight are necessary in order to increase the effectiveness of single plant selection in the F₂ generation which is the first opportunity of increasing yield in later generations.     

Intergenotypic competition and shoot production in wheat plants

In field experiments, the competition among plants of two distinct wheat genotypes in binary mixtures, and among three genotypes being grown in adjacent rows was investigated. The competition greatly affected the over-ground dry weight, weight of stem and grain per plant. This effect was undercompensatory, the depression in poor competitor was higher than the enhancement of strong competitor for all these characteristics. From final components of grain yield per plant, the number of fertile stems and number of grains per ear were more affected than weight per grain. More expressively than weight of grain on the main-stem ear, the weight of grain per average secondary ear-bearing stem was affected by competition in binary mixture. The enhancement in standard height—a strongly competitive genotype— reached in binary mixture about 10% for this last characteristic in comparison with the value from the pure stand. Some morphological characteristics of plants being in relation with competition for grain yield per plant are discussed in these experiments.

Effect of Defoliation During the Early Vegetative Phase and at Silking on Growth of Maize (Zea mays L.)

Two experiments were conducted in the glasshouse and in thefield to evaluate the effect of leaf loss on development, drymatter accumulation and yield of maize. In the glasshouse, defoliationtreatments were imposed on maize after 3 weeks of planting.Removing 2 or 3 leaves every 2 weeks affected plant height,days to tassel, root and shoot yield. The plant diameter androot:shoot ratio were not affected by defoliation. In the field experiment, six defoliation treatments were imposed7 days after 50 per cent silking. Defoliation of all leaveswas the most severe treatment on cob d. wt, dry matter accumulationin grains, weight of 100 test grains and yield. The effect ofremoving all leaves above the ear was not significantly differentfrom that of removing all leaves below the ear. The effect ofremoving half of the leaves above the ear was not differentfrom the control. Zea mays, vegetative growth, dry matter accumulation, yield, defoliation     

Variation in structural gender in the hermaphrodite Helleborus foetidus (Ranunculaceae): within- and among-population patterns

In hermaphrodite plants, variations in structural gender (defined as the ratio between male and female gametes) may occur at different levels (among flowers, plants, and populations). In this study, we investigated variation in four traits influencing structural gender (number of carpels, ovules per carpel, stamens, and pollen grains per stamen) within and among six distant populations of the hermaphrodite perennial herb Helleborus foetidus (Ranunculaceae) in the Iberian Peninsula. Our results show that the four traits investigated varied significantly at all levels considered. Traits influencing the female sexual component (number of carpels and ovules per carpel) showed greater variation at the lowermost levels (within flower and plant) than traits influencing the male component, which in turn varied more markedly among populations. Number of carpels per flower and number of pollen grains per anther were the most important traits affecting between-plant variation in structural gender. There was no evidence of significant plant-level trade-offs or correlations between the various male and female traits, which covaried differently across populations. The observed between-population variation in structural gender of Helleborus foetidus can be explained as a consequence of differences in self-pollination levels related to a flowers mating environment.     

Estimation of genetic parameters in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Summary Four exotic and four indigenous strains of barley were used for making diallel crosses. The sets of parents and crosses making full, half and quarter diallel were analysed in a randomized block design for plant height, number of effective tillers, ear length, grain yield per plant, 100 grain weight and number of grains per ear.The three alternatives of diallel were similar with respect to the estimates of degree of dominance, general combining ability and specific combining ability, indicating that all these three methods of diallel were equally efficient. However, as the number of entries are minimum in quarter diallel, it would be economical in terms of cost, time and labour to estimate genetic parameters by this method. Average degree of dominance was found in the range of overdominance. The ranking of parents on the basis of their array mean was similar to the ranking based on gca effects. Similarly, the ranking of crosses on the basis of per se performance was similar to the ranking based on sca effects. This suggests that the selection of best general combiner or best cross combinations may be easier and more effective through array mean for per se performance rather than through high gca and sea effects, respectively. From among 56 crosses, IB-226 X X C-164 was the one which showed superiority for maximum number of characters followed by AB-12/59 X PTS-57. High sea effect for plant height, ear length, grain yield, 100 grain weight and number of grains per ear was the result of cross between parents having high X low general combining ability, indicating additive X dominance type of gene interaction. For number of effective tillers, high sca was produced by low x low general combiners, indicating dominance x dominance gene interaction.Part of a Ph.

CdCl<Subscript>2</Subscript>-induced morphogenetic variation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Triticum aestivum</Emphasis> cultivars

The effect cadmium chloride on released local cultivars of soft spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) has been studied under laboratory and field conditions in order to widen the variation spectrum of this plant. It has been found that treatment of grains with a 0.01% aqueous solution of CdCl₂ induces the appearance of tall, strong plants with productive bushiness in the M1 generation that are characterized by various morphological changes: elongated ears, scales, and grains; increased number of grains per ear and mass of 1000 grains; anthocyan pigmentation of the stem and leaf axil; etc. Study of meiosis showed chromosome aggregation, displacement of the mitotic spindle of the metaphase plate, and empty (sterile) cells in anaphases (AI and AII). The altered characters of M₁ plants are preserved in the M₂–M₄ generations.
