TheA-value method, involving the application of a higher15N rate to a reference non-N2-fixing plant, was used to assess the magnitude of N2 fixation in two bambara groundnut cultivars at four growth stages [vegetative, 0–47 days after planting (DAP); early pod-filling, 47–99 DAP; mid-pod-filling, 99–120 DAP; physiological maturity, 120–148 DAP). The cultivars were Ex-Ada, a bunchy type, and CS-88-11, a slightly spreading type. They were grown on a loamy sand. Uninoculated Ex-Ada and CS-88-11 were used as reference plants to measure the N2 fixed in the inoculated bambara groundnuts. In this greenhouse study, soil was the major source of N in bambara groundnuts during vegetative growth, and during this period it accounted for over 80% of the N accumulaed in the plants. However, N2 fixation became the major source of plant N during reproductive growth. There were significant differences between the two cultivars in the ability to fix N2, and at physiological maturity, almost 75% of the N in CS-88-11 was derived from the atmosphere compared to 55% in Ex-Ada. Also, the total N fixed in CS-88-11 at physiological maturity was almost double that in Ex-Ada. Our data indicate that the higher N2 fixation in CS-88-11 was due to two factors, a higher intensity of N2 fixation and a longer active period of N2 fixation. The results also suggest that bambara groundnut genotypes could be selected for higher N2 fixation in farining systems.  相似文献

Genetic diversity in 12 landraces of bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea), an indigenous African legume, was evaluated using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. DNA from individuals of each landrace was also analysed to determine the level of heterogeneity within landraces. RAPDs revealed high levels of polymorphism among landraces. The percentage polymorphism ranged from 63.2% to 88.2% with an average of 73.1% for the 16 RAPD primers evaluated. The construction of genetic relationships using cluster analysis groups the 12 landraces in two clusters. RAPDs are useful for the genetic diversity studies in V. subterranea and can identify variation within landraces.  相似文献

The potential of bambara groundnut as a crop-based approach for the sustainable reduction of protein–energy malnutrition prevalent in Nigeria is still being explored. However, one of the limitations to sustainable production of this adapted species is low and unstable yield. Here, we employed multiple statistical analyses to determine traits that could be useful in predicting grain yield. Furthermore, additive main effect and multiplicative interaction and genotype × genotype × environment models were used to identify high yielding and stable landraces. Twenty-four bambara landraces were evaluated in two contrasting dry land growing seasons at four environments. Based on the results of correlation, path coefficient values and stepwise multiple regression analysis, it is reasonable to assume that seed growth rate would be effective as indirect selection criteria for grain yield improvement in this set of breeding materials under early and late planting environment. However, optimizing biomass growth rate, pod fill period, 100-seed weight, number of pods per plant and time to flowering may have important role in the improvement of grain yield in bambara groundnut. Due consideration should be given to 100-seed weight and time to flowering in the early dry and late planting environment. The possibility of successful cultivation of bambara groundnut in forest–savannah transition agricultural zone of Nigeria, particularly when planting is done around early August has been established in this study. However, based on the strong association between seed yield and its related characters in early and late planting environments, selection for higher seed growth rate combined with large number of pods appears to be the best indirect traits when selecting bambara groundnut plants to enhance grain yield under early and late planting environments. While landraces TVSu 1520 and 1578 were considered the best adapted landraces, TVSu 1670 and 1518 are promising landraces that could contribute to increasing grain yield stability.  相似文献

A field experiment was conducted in Tanzania for two seasons to assess the genetic diversity of bambara groundnut landraces based on morphological characters. One hundred accessions collected from a wide range of agricultural zones in the country were evaluated in a 10 × 10 triple lattice block design at Maruku station in Bukoba, Tanzania. For the qualitative characters evaluated, considerable morphological variations were observed for growth habit, pod shape and pod colour. Quantitative morphological characters such as peduncle length, number of leaves per plant, terminal leaflet width, terminal leaflet length, petiole length, plant spread, plant length, pod width, seed length, seed width, number of pods per plant, shelling percentage and days to 50% flowering showed significant variation among accessions for the two test seasons. Multivariate analysis for 15 quantitative morphological traits that showed significant variation indicated that the first four PCs with eigenvalues ≥1 accounted for 63.0 and 65.0% of the total variance among the accessions during the two test seasons, respectively. The most important loadings for PC1 and PC2 for the two seasons were terminal leaflet width, terminal leaflet length, petiole length, plant spread, plant height and pod length, pod width, seed length, seed width, numbers of pods per plant. Cluster analysis grouped bambara groundnut accessions into three major groups with respect to their geographic origins. Based on this present study, bambara groundnut landraces from Tanzania displayed a considerable diversity for morphological and agronomic traits useful for germplasm management and utilization into crop improvement.  相似文献

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) is a neglected and less exploited species in Benin. However, the rational use of the different landraces available involves an appropriate knowledge of their characteristics. This study examined the characteristics of 52 local landraces of Bambara groundnut traditionally cultivated in Benin based on 12 qualitative and 11 quantitative variables, in order to expose those of good qualities. After a classification based on the morphological variables of the seeds, the experimental field was installed in a completely randomized device of blocks repeated three times. The collected data was analyzed with Statistica 7.1 and NTSYS PC 2.2. softwares using qualitative characteristics (Growth’s type, Stem’s hairiness, Flower’s colour, Leave’s shape etc.). As result, the number of morphotypes increased from 18 (out of classification) to 47. Therefore, it appears that the Benin collection of Bambara groundnut is broad in morphological variability. The analysis of the principal component of the quantitative variables revealed three specific classes within the collection. The most efficient variety which belonged to the second class, had a high field yield per hectare (> 1 t/ha). The Souhouloumankpa variety yielded the earliest (103 days after sowing) in addition to the high field yield. The study also showed a positive relationship between 100 seed’s weight, their length, the number of seeds per plant and the seed’s field yield in kg/ha. For a sustainable preservation and an improvement of the available resources, a molecular characterization of the Bambara groundnut landraces in Benin Republic needs to be done.  相似文献

Bambara groundnut has great potential as an alternative crop for improving food security in its production regions and beyond. A field experiment was conducted at the Field Research Centre of the Crops for the Future to obtain information on the nitrogen (N) fixation and N balance of Bambara groundnut landraces on tropical acidic soils of Malaysia. Treatments consisted of three Bambara groundnut landraces (Ex-Sokoto, Kaaro, and NN-1) laid out in a randomized complete block design replicated three times. Results obtained revealed that Ex-Sokoto landrace was greater in yield and N fixation, whereas N balance (-haulm) was greater in NN-1 landrace. The results revealed grain yield of 703–2256 kg ha?1 and N fixation from 32–81 kg ha?1 and suggest that Bambara groundnut could be integrated into a cereal-based cropping system. Ex-Sokoto landrace appeared to be the most promising for yield and N fixation under Malaysian acidic soil conditions.  相似文献

Thirty‐four tetraploid (2n = 4x = 28) wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) landrace populations collected from four regions in Ethiopia, and consisting of 4099 entries were characterized for glume colour, glume pubescence, beak awn, seed colour and spike density. The main objective was to analyse the diversity and distribution of these traits on the basis of administrative regions and altitudinal gradients. The Shannon‐Weaver Diversity Index (H') was used to estimate the magnitude of diversity. With the exception of spike density, all characters were polymorphic in all regions and most altitude groups. However, clinal patterns were observed in only a few cases. At the population level, the mean H’ varied from completely monomorphic (H’ = 0.00) to highly polymorphic (H’ = 0.80 ± 0.07). The highest diversity was found in regions with relatively better climatic conditions and in optimal altitude ranges. On country basis, seed colour (H’ = 0.98) and spike density (H’ = 0.43) displayed the highest and the lowest diversity indices, respectively. Spike density was the only character that exhibited significant differences (P<0.01) both “between regions”; and “between altitude groups”;. Across characters, most of the variance was due to the lowest hierarchy, the “within‐population”; component. The “between region”; and “between altitude group”; variances were significant, but spike density alone was responsible for the differences. The overall mean H’ for Ethiopia was 0.77 + 0.09 and did not seem to have reduced appreciably within the past 25 years or so, when compared to previous estimates.  相似文献

The flavonoid composition of three phenotypes of "Zolfino" landraces, a typical bean grown in Tuscany, has been elucidated by means of HPLC-DAD and HPLC-MS analysis. Flavonols, isoflavones, and anthocyanins have been separated and determined in the different samples chosen on the basis of their seed coat color. A flavonol that has not been previously found in Phaseolus vulgaris L. seeds has been characterized. The quantitative data show the presence of flavonols (ranging from 709 to 118 mg/kg of fresh weight), isoflavones (ranging from 14 to 2 mg/kg of fresh weight), and anthocyanins, in black beans only. These results show that this genotype could be very interesting from a nutritional point of view.  相似文献

Twenty landraces of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) scattered throughout Algeria were compared through morphological and genetic characterization. At the morphological level, for qualitative characters there was no intra-landrace variation and for quantitative characters the variations were low except for landrace NAG2 Three different cultigroups were located in Algeria: Biflora that was dominant in the Sahara, Melanophtalmus in the North and Unguiculata including one landrace in Kabylia and two in Sahara. The AMOVA analysis indicated that the genetic variation was lower within than among agro-ecological regions. A Mantel test, revealed a correlation between the qualitative morphological data and the geographical data (R = 0.28; P < 0.01), indicating that the degree of morphological change among landraces was roughly proportional to the geographical distances separating them. Genetic diversity was analyzed by using 11 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and 12 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. No intra-landrace variability was found. The eleven RAPD primers yielded 77 bands, of which 45 (58.44%) were polymorphic; the genetic similarity ranged from 66.0 to 96.7%. The twelve ISSR primers provided a total of 104 bands, of which 65 (62.5%) were polymorphic; the genetic similarity ranged from 62.8 to 97.8%. cluster analysis showed a good match between genetic background and geographical distribution, which was confirmed by the results of the Mantel test. In particular, geographical data and genetic data were found to be correlated: (R = 0.33; P < 0.01) for RAPD, (R = 0.37; P < 0.01) for ISSR, and (R = 0.33; P < 0.01) for a combined RAPD-ISSR dataset. Moreover, despite the absence of significant correlation between morphological and RAPD data (R = 0.14; P = 0.14), significant correlations between morphological data and both ISSR (R = 0.27, P < 0.05) and a combined RAPD-ISSR dataset (R = 0.22, P < 0.05) were noted. ISSR markers were better linked to morphological variation than were RAPD markers. However, despite this, genetic distances among these landraces were found to be essentially the same no matter which markers were used.  相似文献

Vicilin type (8S) and basic 7S globulins and legumin type (11S) globulins were isolated from mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]. The native molecular weights of the different globulin types were 360000 for legumin, 200000 for vicilin, and 135000 for basic 7S. Some of the 8S globulin apparently complexed and coeluted with the 11S on gel filtration. On SDS-PAGE, 11S was composed of two bands of 40000 and 24000, 8S was composed of 60000, 48000, 32000, and 26000 bands, and basic 7S was composed of 28000 and 16000 bands. The percent composition of total globulins was estimated to be as follow: 8S, 89%; basic 7S, 3.4%; and 11S, 7.6%. The basic 7S and 11S but not the 8S globulins were found to have disulfide bonds. The presence of carbohydrates by conjugated peroxidase reaction was observed in all bands of 8S, the acidic polypeptide of basic 7S, and its complex but not in 11S. The 28000 basic 7S band and its 42000 complex and the first three major bands of 8S cross-reacted with antibodies to all types of soybean conglycinin subunits (alpha, alpha', and beta), whereas the fourth band cross-reacted only with the anti-beta subunit. None of the mungbean globulins cross-reacted with anti-soybean glycinin. Basic 7S was found to be easily extracted with 0.15 M NaCl, 11S was extracted with 0.35 M NaCl,and 8S was extracted over a wide range of NaCl concentrations. The N-terminal sequences of the different subunits/fragments of the globulins were determined and found to have strong homology with storage proteins of other legumes and crops.  相似文献

The low molecular weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) are the major components of glutenins and are important for the end-use quality of wheat. Five novel LMW-GS genes (designated as LMW-Jiachazharen, LMW-Bangdadongmai-3, LMW-Jiachaaigan, LMW-Maoyintumai and LMW-Rikezehongmai) were isolated from Tibetan wheat landraces. The coding regions of LMW-Jiachazharen, LMW-Bangdadongmai-3, LMW-Jiachaaigan, LMW-Maoyintumai and LMW-Rikezehongmai were 912, 897, 915, 927 and 906 bp in length, which encoded 302, 297, 303, 307 and 300 amino acid residues, respectively. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences showed that the five novel genes were classified as LMW-m type, with the predicted molecular weights of 32,013.97, 31,622.89, 32,107.07, 32,939.41 and 31,731.64 Da, respectively. The LMW-Jiachazharen, LMW-Jiachaaigan, LMW-Maoyintumai possessed seven cysteine residues, which resulted from a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the G–A transition. However, except for eight conserved cysteine residues, LMW-Bangdadongmai-3 contained an extra one, as the result of a SNP of the T–C transition. In addition, the corresponding five LMW-GS were identified and confirmed by sodium SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF-MS, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the five novel genes were glutenin-like proteins and designated as LMW-m type genes. The five novel genes may be new candidate LMW-GS genes with potential value for wheat quality improvement.  相似文献

Summary Isozyme variation in 25 accessions of wild and cultivated Vigna unguiculata, 49 accessions of seven wild species belonging to section Vigna, and 11 accessions of V. vexillata (subgenus Plectrotropis) was scored at 17 putative loci to assess genetic relationships within and among species. The wild species selected for this study are among those which carry important agronomical traits useful in cowpea (V. unguiculata) breeding programs. Allelic frequencies were calculated and Nei's genetic distances were obtained. Low levels of intraspecific variation were observed for V. heterophylla, V. luteola and V. racemosa, whereas the other species showed a higher polymorphism. Vigna unguiculata possessed intraspecific genetic distances comparable to those previously found by other authors. Most of the isozyme variation was apportioned among species. Although V. luteola and V. marina had an interspecific genetic distance resembling the range observed at intraspecific level, all the other species showed very high interspecific distances. Vigna unguiculata was relatively closer genetically to V. vexillata than to the species belonging to section Vigna.Abbreviations AUS Australia - BDI Burundi - BRA Brazil - BWA Botswana - CAF Central African Republic - GHA Ghana - CMR Cameroon - COG Congo - RI Costa Rica - EGY Egypt - ETE Ethiopia - GAB Gabon - GRC Greece - ITA Italy - KEN Kenya - MOZ Mozambique - NER Niger - NGA Nigeria - PAN Panama - RWA Rwanda - TCD Chad - TZA Tanzania - ZAF South Africa - ZAR Zaire - ZMB Zambia  相似文献
