Plant Development from Isolated Microspores of Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica Derived from the Anther Culture of F2 Hybrids of Photoperiod-Sensitive Male-Sterile Rice

Microspores from a highly anther culturable rice line (Oryza sativa L. spp. indica) derived from the anther culture of F2 hybrids of photoperiod-sensitive male-sterile rice, after 7 days of low temperature treatment and another 7 days of preculture within anthers, were isolated mmechanically. They were cultured in Ne medium containing 3% manitol, 6% sucrose, 5 g/L inositol, 100 mg/L serine, 800 mg/L glutamine, 1 000 mg/L L-proline, 10% (V/V) coconut milk and 2 mg/L, 2,4-D, and 1 mg/L kinetin. After 5 days, microspores initiated first division and subsequently developed into multicellular pollens and calli. Green plant could be recovered when compact calli were transferred onto agar-solidified MS medium containing 3% sucrose, 0.5 mg/L kinetin, 2 mg/L 6-BA and 1 mg/L IAA.     

High frequency androgenesis in indica × Basmati rice hybrids using liquid culture media

An improved procedure has been developed for high frequency androgenesis in indica × Basmati rice hybrids using a liquid culture medium. Anthers from fourteen genotypes comprising of indica × Basmati rice F₁ hybrids, F₂ plants and the parental rice cultivars, were floated in liquid RZM, N6M, and Heh5M media. Anther culture frequencies (percentage of anthers forming calluses) in most of the genotypes were significantly higher in RZM medium (16–75%) compared to those obtained in N6M (7–29%) and Heh5M (7–41%) media. Agarose (1.0% w/v)-solidified MSR1 medium containing 3.0% (w/v) maltose, 1 mg l⁻¹ kinetin, 1 mg l⁻¹ 6-benzyladenine (BA) and 0.5 mg l⁻¹α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) induced green shoot regeneration at high frequencies compared to the medium (MSR2) lacking BA. In all the genotypes, microspore calluses initiated in RZM medium regenerated green shoots with over tenfold higher frequencies compared to the calluses initiated in other two media. High plant regeneration frequencies (up to 270 green plants/1000 anthers) were obtained from microspore-derived calluses of some of the F₁ hybrids (Gobind × Basmati 370, Gobind × Taraori Basmati) and F₂ plants (Gobind × Basmati 370, Gobind × Taraori Basmati, HKR86-3 × Taraori Basmati) as compared to their actual parents. Cytological analysis of the root tips of the progeny seedlings of the microspore-derived plants revealed haploids at a frequency of about 50%; 22% of the microspore- derived plants had > 5% spikelet fertility and were diploid. Use of RZM liquid and MSR1 media, respectively for anther culture and plant regeneration resulted in several fold increase in the recovery of green plants from recalcitrant indica × Basmati rice F₁ hybrids/F₂ plants which were comparable to those reported for japonica rice varieties/hybrids leading to the improved feasibility of using doubled haploids in genetic, breeding and mapping research with indica rice.

匍匐茎草本蛇莓对基质养分条件的克隆可塑性

A pot experiment with three levels of nutrient (N, P, K) supply was carried out to investigate clonal plasticity of stoloniferous herb Duchesnea indica Focke in response to nutrient availability. The plants had greater biomass at higher levels of nutrient availability. The root/shoot ratio of the plants changed with the nutrient availability in the following order: low level > high level > medium level. They had the largest biomass allocation to stolon at the medium level of nutrient availability. The biomass allocation to petiole did not respond to the treatments. The plants formed more stolons and ramets at the high and medium levels than the low level of nutrient availability. The petiole length, specific petiole weight（mg/cm）and stolon internode length of the plants did not respond to the treatments, while the specific stolon weight (mg/cm）of the plants was greater at the high and medium levels than the low level of nutrient availability. The results have been discussed in the context of adaptation of clonal plants to environmental heterogeneity.

蔊菜杂草性的研究

本文通过对十字花科常见杂草芹菜[Rorippa in lica(L.)Hiern]在南京地区的自然群体的周期性观察,以了解其在不同生态环境下的生活周期。本文还通过一系列实验来观察其繁育系统、种子传播的动因、结实力、种子发芽率和植物抗人为干扰的耐受性。花蕾套袋试验证明蔊菜主要是自交可亲和的,即使存在异型杂交也是微不足道的。种子传播效应试验揭示水和风都是种子传播的自然力。该种具有范围很广的耐受性,踏践和刈割试验证明在严重的人为于扰下仍能完成其生活周期。蔊菜尽管本质上属于多年生草本,能产生大量的种子,在很大程度上靠种子繁殖。种子萌芽试验证明它的种子萌发参差不齐。总之,蔊菜具有典型杂草的许多特性,而这些特性给它以适合在多种自然的和人为干扰的环境中正常地生长的能力。     

籼稻光(温)敏核不育系抽穗与结实对光周期和温度的反应特性

在控制光长与温度的人工气候室,研究了7个核不育系籼稻抽穗与结实的光、温反应特性。二九青S、安农S-1、衡农S,CY8526S,W6154S,KS-14植株抽穗的感光性均弱,光周期敏感期(PSP)为-6至8天,仅8902S中等,PSP为31天,抽穗的高温促进率(TSR)一般为20％左右,感温性均属中等:KS-14为41％属强级。它们结实对光周期一般不敏感,仅二九青S、CY-8526S8902S在LD下结实率明显下降,但未达到全不育程度,因此均不是光敏核不育系;它们结实对温度均极敏感,30℃高温下5个品系全不育,W6154S在高温与20℃低温下都近于全不育;衡农S则在低温下近于全不育。供试7个不育系全为温敏不育系,它们结实的最适温度范围相当狭窄。     

Response of brown mussel, Perna indica, to elevated temperatures in relation to power plant biofouling control

1. 1. Results of a study on lethal and sublethal responses of different size groups of the tropical brown mussel, Perna indica, when exposed to different temperatures are presented.

2. 2. Exposure to a temperature of 38°C showed 100% mortality of 9 mm size group mussels in 120 min.

3. 3. Mortality was dependent on age (size) of the mussels, young ones being more susceptible than older ones.

4. 4. All size groups showed a progressive reduction in physiological activities such as filtration rate, foot activity and byssus thread production when temperature was increased from 30°C.

5. 5. This study suggests that heat treatment is an attractive alternative to chlorination for mussel fouling control in tropical power stations.
