Summary In a field experiment, more than 22% increase in the grain yield of corn was obtained by the application of 50 kg ZnSO4/ha. Grain yields were also increased by increasing the level of applied phosphorus. Positive relationship was obtained between
Zn and P, the phosphorus treatment increased Zn uptake by grains and vice versa. 相似文献

Several hundred somaclones established from plants regenerated from embryogenic callus cultures of six high tannin sorghum lines were screened for variants with altered levels of polyphenols in the grain. Grain from over 6000 plants including the R
1 (primary), R2, and R3 generations were analyzed for total phenols, flavan-4-ols, and proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins). Although many variants which had lost the ability to synthesize chlorophyll were found, none of the somaclones tested had lost or greatly reduced the ability to synthesize any of the polyphenols assayed. However, we did observe statistically significant differences in polyphenol concentration between tissue culture-derived R1 plants and the parental controls. In the R2 generation the proportion of somaclones which differed significantly from the parents varied from 47% to 68% depending upon genotype. The average somaclonal variation rate and somaclonal variant frequency estimated in the tested population for the three polyphenol characteristics ranged from 37.3% to 40.7% and 5.3% to 7.8%, respectively. Variants with decreased levels of polyphenols were usually epigenetic and reverted back to normal levels in subsequent generations, but those with increased levels usually persisted after two meiotic cycles, indicating they are heritable. Variants with polyphenol levels increased up to 80% or decreased by 30% were selected for in the R3 generation. 相似文献

The effect of various levels of nitrogen (0.0, 30.0, 60.0, 120.0) and phosphorus (0.0, 6.5, 13.0, 36.0) on the incidence and severity of downy mildew of pearl millet and yield of two pearl millet varieties (Zango and GB8375) were studied under field conditions in 2000 and 2001 respectively. Both nitrogen and phosphorus significantly increased incidence and severity of the disease in the two varieties. Grain yield and 1000 grain weight of the varieties also increased with nitrogen and phosphorus levels. 相似文献

The response to delayed harvest of fungal and mycotoxin contamination of grain of the pearl millet hybrid HGM 100 was examined in 1992 and 1993. Samples of grain were assayed from seven plantings at locations near Tifton, Georgia, USA. Grain was harvested at 30, 40, and 50 days after anthesis and evaluated for infection byFusarium species andAspergillus flavus, and mycotoxin contamination. Mean isolation frequencies ofF. semitectum (35.6%) andF. chlamydosporum (17.2%) increased linearly with delayed harvest.Fusarium moniliforme andF. equisiti were infrequently isolated (<0.5%) and did not increase in the grain when harvest was delayed. Low mean concentrations of zearalenone (0.17 ppm), nivalenol (0.42 ppm), and deoxynivalenol (0.01 ppm) were detected but were not affected by delayed harvest. Isolation frequencies ofF. chlamydosporum andF. equiseti were correlated (P=0.07) with levels of nivalenol.Aspergillus flavus was not isolated from the grain, and aflatoxin concentrations averaged 1.9 ppb. 相似文献

Two cultivars of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were grown to maturity in hydroponic cultures. Nitrogen accumulation was controlled by daily growth-limiting additions of nitrate together with all other nutrients in excess. Six different curves of N accumulation were used, with the same relative changes from day to day, but with different amplitudes. These curves were obtained by using the same mathematic formula of the N accumulation curves but varying the value of initial N content. The total amount of nitrogen added varied from 20 mg plant(-1) to 65 mg plant(-1). Plant bioproductivity showed a linear response to accumulated N. The number of grains per plant increased linearly with increased N availability whereas grain weights were essentially unaffected. Grain N concentrations and N content varied slightly, with highest values generally at the lower N availability levels. The quantitatively most important response to increased N availability was an increased number of earbearing tillers per plant. This varied from 0.1 tiller plant(-1) at maturity when given 20 mg N plant(-1), up to about 2 tillers plant(-1) when given 65 mg N plant(-1). Not all tillers that were initiated developed ears. The reduction of tillers seems to be one important mechanism in adapting plant productivity to N availability. Other individual characters influenced by N availability were straw height and the number of spikelets per spike. The two cultivars behaved in a qualitatively similar manner over the range of N availability even though they quantitatively differed in grain size, N concentrations and yield. 相似文献

Colonization of barley grain by Aspergillus flavus and formation of aflatoxin B1 in the presence of Penicillium verrucosum, Fusarium sporotrichioides, and Hyphopichia burtonii were studied over a three-week period in all combinations of 20 or 30 °C and 0.97, 0.95 or 0.90 aw. Grain colonization was assessed initially by observing hyphal extension on the grain surface, using scanning electron microscopy, and then from the proportion of seeds infected and numbers of colony forming units (cfu) formed. Aflatoxin b1 concentrations were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay using a monoclonal antibody. These studies showed that interaction between A. flavus and other fungi in paired culture had different effects on both colonization and aflatoxin formation depending on the species involved and environmental conditions. Germination of A. flavus spores was unaffected by the presence of other species on the grain surface. Subsequently, three principal patterns of A. flavus colonization of barley grain were observed through the incubation period in the presence of other fungal species: (a) colonization unaffected by the presence of other species; (b) colonization initially slower in the presence of other species but later differing little from pure cultures; and (c) colonization adversely affected by the presence of other species. Five main patterns of aflatoxin B1 production were observed relative to pure culture but with no consistent relationship with species, aw, temperature or incubation period; (a) little changed; (b) increased slowly; (c) decreased; (d) enhanced; and (e, f) increased initially but later decreased to (e) the same level as in pure culture or (f) to less than in pure culture. Generally, production of aflatoxin B1 by A. flavus was less than in pure culture but sometimes was changed only slightly by the presence of P. verrucosum, F. sporotrichioides or H. burtonii or was temporarily enhanced. 相似文献

Grain protein content (GPC) is an important factor in pasta and breadmaking quality, and in human nutrition. It is also an important trait for wheat growers because premium prices are frequently paid for wheat with high GPC. A promising source for alleles to increase GPC was detected on chromosome 6B of Triticum turgidum var. dicoccoides accession FA-15-3 (DIC). Two previous quantitative trait locus (QTL) studies found that the positive effect of DIC-6B was associated to a single locus located between the centromere and the Nor-B2 locus on the short arm of chromosome 6B. Microsatellite markers Xgwm508 and Xgwm193 flanking the QTL region were used in this study to develop 20 new homozygous recombinant substitution lines (RSLs) with crossovers between these markers. These 20 RSLs, plus nine RSLs developed in previous studies were characterized with four new RFLP markers located within this chromosome segment. Grain protein content was determined in three field experiments organized as randomized complete block designs with ten replications each. The QTL peaks for protein content were located in the central region of a 2.7-cM interval between RFLP markers Xcdo365 and Xucw67 in the three experiments. Statistical analyses showed that almost all lines could be classified unequivocally within low- and high- protein groups, facilitating the mapping of this trait as a single Mendelian locus designated Gpc-6B1. The Gpc-6B1 locus was mapped 1.5-cM proximal to Xcdo365 and 1.2-cM distal to Xucw67. These new markers can be used to reduce the size of the DIC chromosome segment selected in marker-assisted selection programs. Markers Nor-B2 and Xucw66 flanking the previous two markers can be used to select against the DIC segment and reduce the linkage drag during the transfer of Gpc-6B1 into commercial bread and pasta wheat varieties. The precise mapping of the high GPC gene, the high frequency of recombinants recovered in the targeted region, and the recent development of a tetraploid BAC library including the Gpc-6B1 DIC allele are the first steps towards the map-based cloning of this gene.Communicated by J.

Summary Variations in the embryo proteins separated by SDS-PAGE have been observed in 43 cultivated varieties of Oryza sativa L. Cluster and discriminant analysis applied to both protein components and morphological characters indicate that knowledge of the differences in embryo proteins can improve our understanding of genetic affinity and make it easier to differentiate between varieties of similar genetic backgrounds. 相似文献

Three species of gorgonians (Primnoa pacifica, Calcigorgia japonica, and Thouarella superba) are reported as new records for the northwestern Sea of Japan; one of them (Calcigorgia japonica sp. n.) has been described as a new species. Variations of colony morphology in some species are described; the taxonomical value of specific characters is discussed. The geographical range of Primnoa pacifica in the northwestern Pacific is shown to be wider than was considered earlier. Variations of sclerite morphology (number of marginal plates, presence of additional basal plates, and number of marginal spines on the basal plate) are regarded as intracolonial or intraspecific variability. The distribution range of Thouarella superba described earlier from the Aleutian Islands (Nutting, 1912) was shown to extend into the low-boreal part of the boreal Pacific. An examined specimen of Paragorgia sp. differed from all known species and appeared similar only to P. regalis Nutting, 1912 reported from the eastern coast of Japan. The most distinctive characters of Calcigorgia japonica sp. n. were the shape of polyp, with a thin lower part looking like folded podia (in fixed specimens) and the presence of two types of clubs scattered among the sclerites of the polyp. 相似文献

退耕还林对宁南黄土丘陵区景观格局的影响——以中庄村典型小流域为例 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:6
"退耕还林"工程是关系到西部乃至中国生态恢复的重要工程。以黄土丘陵区"退耕还林"工程实施最早的典型小流域——中庄村小流域为研究区,应用景观生态学的原理与方法,选择斑块多样性、景观异质性和土地利用相对合理性等指数,对其退耕还林前(1993-2000年)后(2000-2005年)的变化情况进行分析,目的在于揭示"退耕还林"政策的实施对景观格局向良性演化的巨大推动作用。结果显示,退耕前(1993-2000年)研究区景观格局演变幅度很小,相应的,斑块多样性、景观异质性和土地利用相对合理性指数等景观指数的变化均较小。退耕后(2000-2005年),研究区发生了剧烈的景观格局演化,主要的景观变化过程是耕地转化为林地。此阶段研究区25°以上坡耕地基本退耕完毕,15-25°坡度范围是退耕还林的主要区域,其次为8-15°。相应的,2000-2005年小流域景观斑块总数减小,平均斑块面积增加,景观形状趋于复杂,斑块边界复杂性有所增加,景观斑块呈现团聚化的趋势。其中,耕地斑块总面积显著减小,斑块数下降,平均斑块面积略有增大;林地斑块总面积显著增加,斑块数保持稳定,景观优势度显著增加。土地利用相对合理性指数因此从1993年和2000年的0.668、0.664,显著上升至2005年的0.712。采用3期土地利用现状图对"退耕还林"实施前后两个阶段的景观格局演变过程进行分析,结果表明"退耕还林"是研究区景观格局良性演化的主要驱动力。 相似文献

Grain yield forms one of the key economic drivers behind a successful wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping enterprise and is consequently a major target for wheat breeding programmes. However, due to its complex nature,
little is known regarding the genetic control of grain yield. A doubled-haploid population, comprising 182 individuals, produced
from a cross between two cultivars ‘Trident’ and ‘Molineux’, was used to construct a linkage map based largely on microsatellite
molecular makers. ‘Trident’ represents a lineage of wheat varieties from southern Australia that has achieved consistently
high relative grain yield across a range of environments. In comparison, ‘Molineux’ would be rated as a variety with low to
moderate grain yield. The doubled-haploid population was grown from 2002 to 2005 in replicated field experiments at a range
of environments across the southern Australian wheat belt. In total, grain yield data were recorded for the population at
18 site-year combinations. Grain yield components were also measured at three of these environments. Many loci previously
found to be involved in the control of plant height, rust resistance and ear-emergence were found to influence grain yield
and grain yield components in this population. An additional nine QTL, apparently unrelated to these traits, were also associated
with grain yield. A QTL associated with grain yield on chromosome 1B, with no significant relationship with plant height,
ear-emergence or rust resistance, was detected (LOD ≥2) at eight of the 18 environments. The mean yield, across 18 environments,
of individuals carrying the ‘Molineux’ allele at the 1B locus was 4.8% higher than the mean grain yield of those lines carrying
the ‘Trident’ allele at this locus. Another QTL identified on chromosome 4D was also associated with overall gain yield at
six of the 18 environments. Of the nine grain yield QTL not shown to be associated with plant height, phenology or rust resistance,
two were located near QTL associated with grain yield components. A third QTL, associated with grain yield components at each
of the environments used for testing, was located on chromosome 7D. However, this QTL was not associated with grain yield
at any of the environments. The implications of these findings on marker-assisted selection for grain yield are discussed. 相似文献

Summary From a total of 138 green androgenetic rye lines, 25 were fertilized and examined in field tests: 7 were heterozygous and 18 were homozygous. Of the homozygotes, 4 turned out to be selfincompatible, while 14 set seed after selfing. Four characters were analyzed in detail: 100 kernel weight, plant height, ear length, and alkylresorcinol content. Here we present the first approach in prescreening selfcompatible androgenetic doubled-haploid rye plants with the single grain procedure. The usefulness of this method was confirmed by quantitative resorcinol determination in the following generation. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that all the homologues of the alkylresorcinol were equally reduced. For all characters the means of the different anther derived lines exceeded the means of the controls in both directions, to the positive as well as to the negative side. The incorporation of such a haploid breeding step into breeding programs is discussed.Dedicated to Professor Dr. G.

The number of potential annual generations of the rusty grain beetle,Cryptolestes ferrugineus, was simulated in wheat stored in granaries for all crop districts in the prairie provinces of Canada each year from 1952
to 1990 using a population dynamic model driven by ecological variables. Granary size was assumed to be 6 m in diameter. Historical
data for temperatures at harvest and times when storage began were used in the simulation model. A second model, which predicted
the rate of temperature change at the centre of a 6-m-diameter bulk of wheat, determined environmental parameters for the
population dynamic model. (Grain moisture content was assumed constant at 14.5% wet mass basis.) The combined model shows
that the initial storage temperature is the most important factor responsible for predicting the number of generations and
levels of infestation ofC. ferrugineus. This finding was largely validated by historical grain storage and infestation data. For various years initial grain temperature
ranged from 17.7 to 37.4 °C and harvest dates were between 1 August and 20 October. The number of generations annually in
simulations based on field conditions ranged from 0.35 to 6.77 with a mean of 3.29. Three or more generations result in a
severe infestation and every year at least three simulated generations were completed in some crop districts. In one year,
at least three generations were completed in every crop district. Harvest temperature and date permit prediction of crop districts
that will potentially have the largest populations of C.ferrugineus so that early monitoring of wheat for infestations can be targeted to areas most at risk.

An improved technique for culture of rice panicles 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An improved technique for long-term culture of rice caryopses is necessary for physiological and genetic studies. Panicles of three rice (Oryza sativa) cultivars `Lemont', `Gummo-byeu' and `Hwasung-byeu' were cultured in liquid media with combinations of light versus dark, panicle position, nitrogen level (5-40 mM), and sucrose level (29–351 mM). Grain growth was increased when panicles were positioned horizontally, partially submerged in the media, owing to greater media contact and apoplastic uptake as observed by fluorescent dyes. The optimal media assimilate supply included 175 mM sucrose and 5 mM nitrogen. Grain fill occurred for up to four weeks; grain dry weight reached 80% of that on intact plants, with 50% germination. This technique should allow for future physiological studies with rice or other panicle-bearing species. 相似文献

The development of molecular genetic maps has accelerated the identification and mapping of genomic regions controlling quantitative
characters, referred to as quantitative trait loci or QTLs. A molecular map derived from an F2 population of a tropical japonica×indica cross (Labelle/Black Gora) consisted of 116 restriction fragment length polymorphism
(RFLP) markers. Composite interval mapping was used to identify the QTLs controlling six panicle and grain characteristics.
Two QTLs were identified for panicle size at LOD>3.0, with one on chromosome 3 accounting for 16% of the phenotypic variation.
Four loci controlling spikelet fertility accounted for 23% of the phenotypic variation. Seven, four, three and two QTLs were
detected for grain length, breadth, shape and weight, respectively, with the most prominent QTLs being on chromosomes 3, 4,
and 7. Grain shape, measured as the ratio of length to breadth, was mostly controlled by loci on chromosomes 3 and 7 that
coincided with the most important QTLs identified for length and breadth, respectively. A model including three loci accounted
for 45% of the phenotypic variation for this trait. The identification of economically important QTLs will be useful in breeding
for improved grain characteristics.

Grain protein content (GPC) is an important quality factor in both durum and bread wheats. GPC is considered to be a polygenic trait influenced by environmental factors and management practice. The objectives of this study were both to compare the quantitative trait loci (QTL) for GPC in a population of 65 recombinant inbred lines of tetraploid wheats evaluated in three locations for several years (eight data sets), and to investigate the genetic relationship among GPC and grain yield. QTLs were determined based on the Messapia × dicoccoides linkage map which covers 217 linked loci on the 14 chromosomes with 42 additional loci as yet unassigned to linkage groups. The map extends to 1352 cM; the average distance between adjacent markers was 6.3 cM. Seven QTLs for GPC, located on the chromosome arms 4BS, 5AL, 6AS (two loci), 6BS, 7AS and 7BS, were detected that were significant in at least one environment at P<0.001 or in at least two environments at P<0.01. One QTL was significant in all but one environment, two were significant in four or five environments, and four were significant in two out of eight environments. Six out of seven protein content QTLs had pleiotropic effects or were associated to QTLs for grain yield and explained the negative correlation among GPC and yield components. The present results support the concept that studies conducted in a single environment are likely to underestimate the number of QTLs that can influence a trait and that the phenotypic data for a quantitative trait should be collected over a range of locations to identify putative QTLs and determine their phenotypic effects. 相似文献

Field observations on Anabaena circinalis Rabenhorst over six summer seasonal appearances in two dams have shown that the frequency of occurence of heterocysts became fairly constant soon after the appearance of the species and decreased just before the end of the growing season. By contrast, akinete frequency reached a maximum, very early in the season, then decreased rapidly. Drought led to a decrease in occurrence of both Anabaena and of akinetes in several dams; this was possibly associated with an increasing concentration of NOx in the water. At Carcoar dam this akinete reduction was shown first in end-of-season figures. Drought also led to an end-of-season decrease there in the occurrence of heterocysts. Variations in morphology were noted. The coiling of the trichome, shape of akinete and relative position of heterocyst were all variable, although these characters are often assumed to be of taxonomic importance. 相似文献

Grain mites reared on wheat germ at 21±1°C and 85% r.h. were treated (acclimated) as adults at 0, 14, 28 or 33°C for 1 or 4 days. Fecundity, longevity and numbers of F1 females and males produced were compared. A treatment of 1 day was enough to acclimateAcarus siro and change the studied developmental parameters. Acclimation always lowered fecundity but the magnitude of the effect was dependent upon the temperature regime. The number of males and females emerging differed greatly among various temperature regimes; however, the sex ratio of emerged adults remained in most instances quite constant. 相似文献
