不同生态条件下籼粳稻杂交后代亚种特性的比较研究

以中优早8号×丰锦F₆重组自交系群体为试材,在辽宁和四川两个不同的生态区种植,研究亚种特性变化的结果表明,两个地区都呈偏粳分布。不同生态条件下亚种特征性状发生了明显变化,总体上四川表现比辽宁更加偏粳,进一步分析显示籼及偏籼型四川比辽宁表现更加偏籼,而粳及偏粳型更加偏粳。生态条件对程氏指数6性状的影响因性状而异,1~2穗节长、叶毛四川比辽宁偏粳,籽粒长宽比、抽穗时壳色四川比辽宁偏籼。生态条件对程氏指数6性状间和程氏指数与维管束性状间的相关性也有显著影响。籼粳稻杂交后代的维管束性状在不同生态条件下有显著变化,四川穗颈大维管束数比辽宁明显减少,而穗颈小维管束数和第二节间小维管束数明显增加,大小维管束比降低,大维管束比增加。总体上虽然有大小维管束比籼型>粳型,大维管束比籼型<粳型的趋势,但是大小维管束比和大维管束比不能作为籼粳稻分类的指标,籼粳稻杂交后代亚种特性与维管束性状已经重新组合。     

水稻亚种间杂种F_1的籼粳属性鉴定

采用程氏指数法对用4个籼稻和3个粳稻按完全双列杂交设计配制24个籼粳杂交组合的F_1进行籼粳属性鉴定,结果表明,所有水稻亚种间杂种F_1都表现偏籼和偏粳,并且偏籼多于偏粳,但没有一个完全表现为粳型和籼型的。母本的亚种类型对杂种F_1的籼粳属性有一定影响,也就是说,用籼稻母本容易获得(偏)籼型亚种间杂交水稻,反之亦然。该文还对用作鉴定籼粳属性的6个鉴别性状在亚种间杂种F_1表现进行探讨。     

水稻籼粳交后代亚种特性的变化及其与维管束性状的关系

以七山占／秋光重组自交系群体为试材,研究亚种特性的变化及其与维管束性状的关系。结果表明,籼粳交后代亚种特征性状、维管束性状都呈现连续变异,表现数量性状的遗传特点。籼粳交后代程氏指数与大小维管束比,大维管束比的相关达到极显著。依程氏指数法与维管束数目比法对籼粳交后代亚种分类的符合度不高。     

籼粳稻杂交育成品种的亚种特征性状及其与经济性状的关系

采用程氏指数法研究的结果表明:95个籼粳杂交育成水稻品种均划入粳型或偏粳型；6项亚种特征性状中穗壳色、酚反应、稃毛、叶毛及籽粒长宽比全部或大多表现典型粳型特性，少量为中间型或偏向籼型，穗节长表现中间类型最多，极少数为籼型和粳型；籼粳杂交F1和育成品种的程氏指数和亚种特征性状与经济性状关系不密切，而F2的相关     

亲本籼粳成分与两系杂交粳稻杂种优势的关系及遗传基础

以籼粳重组自交系(秋光×七山占,RILs)和粳型光温敏核不育系(GB028S)及其杂交F₁为材料,利用程氏指数法和分子标记法分析亲本的籼粳成分与杂种优势的关系及遗传基础。结果表明,采用程氏指数法和分子标记法在群体籼粳分类的结果上比较一致;RILs偏粳系数与F₁产量及其杂种优势均呈显著或极显著的二次曲线关系;F₁产量在偏粳系数0.55~0.70区间内出现高峰值,杂种优势在偏粳系数0.50~0.65区间内出现高峰值,即RILs偏粳系数为0.55~0.65时F₁有形成较高产量及杂种优势的潜力。Chr.8、Chr.11和Chr.12的籼粳成分与F₁产量及杂种优势关系密切,双亲的遗传距离与F₁产量和相关性状及杂种优势没有明显的关系。     

水稻粳型亲籼系的分子标记辅助育种

分子标记辅助聚合育种是累加有利基因的有效手段。培育粳型亲籼系是有效克服水稻籼粳亚种间杂种不育性，从而利用水稻亚种间杂种优势的重要途径之一。本研究利用以PCR为基础的分子标记进行辅助选择，对不同粳型亲籼系中不同分化度的特异亲和基因进行了聚合，并将4个抗白叶枯病基因和来源于IR24的两个恢复基因导入粳型亲籼系中。主要结果如下：1、以粳型亲籼系G2417-2-1和粳型广亲和系G2605为亲本构建分离群体，利用本研究筛选的与S-b，S-c,S-d三个F1花粉不育基因座位紧密连锁的PCR标记进行辅助选择。在F2共选择到特异亲籼聚合植株6株，它们分别是58号，93号，94号，115号，139号，200号；广亲和聚合植株4株，它们分别是11号，14号，121号，177号。2、对当选聚合系的亲籼性和亲粳性综合分析表明：各个特异亲籼聚合系的亲粳性之间及各个广亲和聚合系的亲籼性之间都有显著差异。特异亲籼聚合系的平均亲籼性和平均亲粳性与亲本G2417-2-1相比都没有显著差异。广亲和聚合系的平均亲籼性高于亲本G2605，平均亲粳性显著低于亲本G2605。这些聚合系的亲和性与其MAS基因型相一致。3、利用四类粳型亲籼系与携带有2个恢复基因和4个抗白叶枯病基因的品系构建回交群体，应用本研究筛选的以PCR为基础的分子标记进行辅助选择。在BC1F1共选择到2个恢复基因和4个抗白叶枯病基因全杂合的植株19个，其中以IC31为受体的5株，以IC32为受体的11株，以IC33为受体的2株，以IC34为受体的1株。4、当选的19个单株自交繁殖BC1F2，利用与目标基因紧密连锁的单一分子标记进行MAS。共选择到各类可供进一步利用的材料393株，其中携带有两个纯合恢复基因的植株158株，同时携带有两个纯合恢复基因和两个纯合显性抗白叶枯病基因的植株40株。5、从上述158个植株中选出两个显性抗性基因均纯合或者任意三个抗性基因均纯合的植株共45株，通过标记加密进一步验证其基因型。结果表明，在Rf3，Rf4，Xa4，Xa21，xa5和xa13等六个基因座位上均带有纯合基因型的植株有3株。本研究通过粳型亲籼系不同分化度的特异亲和基因的聚合获得了新粳型亲籼系；通过聚合恢复基因和抗白叶枯病基因到粳型亲籼系中，使粳型亲籼系不仅能解决亚种间杂种不育性，用于两系杂交稻育种，而且由于具有抗白叶枯病基因，可以改善其对白叶枯病的抗性；由于有恢复基因而具有恢复能力，从而可以实现籼粳亚种间的三系配套。     

籼粳中间型水稻光温敏核不育系浙科82S的选育

籼粳亚种间杂种优势利用是杂交水稻育种的重要研究方向,而选育利于实现籼粳亚种间优势利用的亲本材料是发挥籼粳亚种间杂种优势遗传潜力的重要材料基础。浙科82S是以粳型光温敏核不育系7001S为核不基因供体,以自育的籼粳中间型育种材料GS2066为父本,杂交选育的籼粳中间偏粳型光温敏核不育系。对浙科82S的育性、开花习性、自交和异交特性及配组优势等研究表明,浙科82S不育起点温度低,花时较早且集中,较高的异交率,且株型理想和具弱广亲和性,配组杂一代在穗粒数上具有较强的竞争优势,是籼粳亚种间优势利用的重要两系不育系。2015年通过浙江省农作物品种审定委员会审定。     

利用籼粳交探讨水稻株高和抽穗期的遗传基础

广亲和基因的发现,克服了籼粳交杂种不育的矛盾,但杂种后代株高过高、抽穗期延迟等问题仍然限制着籼粳亚种间杂种优势的利用。本试验利用一个籼粳交(珍汕97/武育粳2号)双单倍体群体(doublehaploidpopulation,DH系)及其分别与两亲本回交构建的两个回交群体,考查了株高和抽穗期的遗传,将三个群体的表型值和两个回交群体的中亲优势值进行了数量性状位点(quantitativetraitlocus,QTL)检测及效应分析,并对结果进行了比较。2个性状在3个相关群体中一共检测到了21个主效QTL和10个上位性QTL,主效QTL的数目和贡献率都比上位性QTL大,而且,在10个上位性QTL中,发生在2个主效QTL间的互作有3个,主效QTL与背景位点间的互作有6个,2个互补位点间的互作仅有1个,进一步说明了主效QTL在株高和抽穗期遗传中的重要作用。比较加性和非加性QTL的作用,发现加性效应、显性效应和上位性效应是籼粳亚种间杂种株高和生育期变化的共同遗传基础。     

水稻籼粳亚种间杂种不育性的研究进展

克服杂种不育性是利用籼粳亚种间杂种优势的关键。由此对水稻亚种间杂种不育性的原因、细胞学基础及两种主要基因遗传模式进行了总结,并详细综述了利用“亲和基因”克服籼粳杂种不育性的两种有代表性的学说-广亲和基因和特异亲和基因分子定位的最新研究进展,并提出了两“亲和基因”共同利用的初步设想:将聚合了Si等位基因的粳型亲籼系与聚合了不同广亲和基因(中性亲和基因的广亲和力强、亲和谱广泛的粳型品种进行杂交和回交,选育出聚合不同广亲和基因和Si等位基因的粳型亲籼系,再与籼稻品种杂交,真正实现直接利用籼粳亚种间杂种优势。     

利用SNP标记进行水稻品种籼粳鉴定

亚洲栽培稻(Oryza sativa L.)分为籼、粳2个亚种,随着杂交水稻的发展、种间杂种优势的利用,籼粳之间的界限变得越来越模糊。本研究利用3000份水稻种质资源信息,通过计算约2000万个单核苷酸多态性(single nucleotide polymorphism, SNP)位点的SNP-index值,进行籼粳特异SNP位点筛选,最终得到4084个籼粳特异SNP位点(4k-SNP);同时确定以籼粳指数作为水稻品种籼粳鉴定的指标。研究进一步采用大规模简单随机取样等统计分析方法对籼粳特异位点进行数据降维处理,将4k-SNP精简至40个SNP位点(40-SNP),用于水稻籼粳鉴定。为了验证40-SNP的籼粳鉴定效果,本研究一方面利用水稻生产上推广的82份选育品种,对40-SNP籼粳鉴定结果与4k-SNP鉴定结果进行比较,结果发现40-SNP与4k-SNP得出的粳型指数非常接近,相关系数为0.99;另一方面利用全球6类型(indica、aus、rayada、aromatic、tropicaljaponica、temperatejaponica)水稻品种共49份材料,对40-SNP籼粳鉴定...     

Biological Activity and Quantification of Suspected Allelochemicals from Alfalfa Plant Parts

Autotoxicity restricts reseeding of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) after alfalfa until autotoxic chemical(s) breaks down or is dispersed into external environments. A series of aqueous extracts from leaves, stems, roots and seeds of alfalfa ‘Vernal’ were bioassayed against alfalfa seedlings of the same cultivar to determine their autotoxicity. The highest inhibition was found in the extracts from the leaves. Extracts at 40 g dry tissue l^?1 from alfalfa leaves were 15.4, 17.5 and 28.7 times more toxic to alfalfa root growth than were those from roots, stems and seeds, respectively. A high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis with nine standard compounds showed that the concentrations and compositions of allelopathic compounds depended on the plant parts. In leaf extracts that showed the most inhibitory effect on root growth, the highest amounts of allelochemicals were detected. Among nine phenolic compounds assayed for their phytotoxicity on root growth of alfalfa, coumarin, trans‐cinnamic acid and o‐coumaric acid at 10^?3 m were most inhibitory. The type and amount of causative allelochemicals found in alfalfa plant parts were highly correlated with the results of the bioassay, indicating that the autotoxic effects of alfalfa plant parts significantly differed.     

Changes in Seed Yield and Quality with Maturity in Onion (Allium cepa L., cv. 'Early Cream Gold')

Development of onion (Allium cepa L., cv. ‘Early Cream Gold’) seed under cool climate conditions in Tasmania, Australia occurred over a longer duration than previously reported, but similar patterns of change in yield components were recorded. In contrast to previous studies, umbel moisture content declined from 85 to 67 % over 57 days while seed moisture content decreased from 85 to 31 %. Seed yield continued to increase over the duration of crop development, with increasing seed weight compensating for seed loss resulting from capsule dehiscence in the later stages of maturation. Germination percentage was high and did not vary significantly from 53 to 77 days after full bloom (DAF), but mean germination time declined and uniformity of germination increased significantly over the same time period. The percentage abnormal seedlings declined with later harvest date, resulting in highest seed quality at 77 DAF. The results of this study suggest that the decision to harvest cool climate onion seed crops before capsule dehiscence will result in a loss of potential seed yield and quality.     

Location of a high-lysine gene and the DDT-resistance gene on barley chromosome 7

Summary The high-lysine gene in Risø mutant 1508 conditions an increased lysine content in the endosperm via a changed protein composition, a decreased seed size, and several other characters of the seed. The designation lys3a, lys3b, and lys3c, is proposed for the allelic high-lysine genes in three Risø mutants, nos 1508, 18, and 19. Linkage studies with translocations locate the lys3 locus in the centromere region of chromosome 7. A linkage study involving the loci lys3 and ddt (resistance to DDT) together with the marker loci fs (fragile stem), s (short rachilla hairs), and r (smooth awn) show that the order of the five loci on chromosome 7 from the long to the short chromosome arm is r, s, fs, lys3, ddt. The distance from locus r to locus ddt is about 100 centimorgans.

Avoidance of leaf rust fungi in wild relatives of cultivated cereals

Summary Avoidance of rust fungi that was based on poor appressorium induction was previously found in Hordeum chilense. In the present study 95 accessions of Triticeae were screened for avoidance of Puccinia hordei. The percentage of appressorium formation per germinated spore ranged from 6 to 90%. On none of the 41 accessions of Aegilops, Agropyron, Elymus, Secale, Thinopyrum or Triticum studied was the rate of appressorium formation lower than 25%. Lower rates of appressorium formation were, however, found on accessions of wild barley species Hordeum brachyantherum, H. marinum, H. parodii and H. secalinum. Its implications in cereal breeding are discussed.     

Variation in forage grasses as hosts of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne naasi (Franklin) and selection for resistance in ryegrass

Summary Reactions of 13 grasses to Meloidogyne naasi varied with species; ryegrasses, fescues and their hybrids were generally susceptible and cocksfoot and timothy resistant. Marked variation in host resistance levels occurred between genotypes within cultivars.Selection of single plants, followed by tests on replicate tillers, identified resistant and susceptible genotypes in both Italian and perennial ryegrass cultivars. Resistant plants had few nematode-induced galls and fewer females and eggs than susceptibles. There was more or less continuous variation, with many genotypes intermediate between extremes of resistance and susceptibility. Selected resistant and susceptible genotypes are of use in assessing variation in nematode populations and as controls for breeding and selection programmes.     

Present status and future strategy in breeding faba beans (Vicia Faba L.) for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses

Progress is being made, mainly by ICARDA but also elsewhere, in breeding for resistance to Botrytis, AScochyta, Uromyces, and Orobanche; and some lines have resistance to more than one pathogen. The strategy is to extend multiple resistance but also to seek new and durable forms of resistance. Internationally coordinated programs are needed to maintain the momentum of this work.Tolerance of abiotic stresses leads to types suited to dry or cold environments rather than broad adaptability, but in this cross-pollinated species, the more hybrid vigor expressed by a cultivar, the more it is likely to tolerate various stresses.

Current and future strategies in breeding lentil for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses

Lentil production is limited by lack of moisture and unfavorable temperatures throughout its distribution. Waterlogging and salinity are only locally important. Progress has been made in breeding for tolerance to drought through selection for an appropriate phenology and increased water use efficiency and in breeding for winter hardiness through selection for cold tolerance.The diseases rust, vascular wilt, and Ascochyta blight, caused by Uromyces viciae-fabae, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis, and Ascochyta fabae f. sp. lentis, respectively, are the key fungal pathogens of lentil. Cultivars with resistance to rust and Ascochyta blight have been released in several countries and resistant sources to vascular wilt are being exploited. Sources of resistance to several other fungal and viral diseases of regional importance are known. In contrast, although the pea leaf weevil (Sitona spp.) and the parasitic weed broomrape (Orobanche spp.), and to a lesser extent the cyst nematode (Heterodera ciceri), are significant yield reducers of lentil, no sources of resistance to these biotic stresses have been found. Directions for future research in lentil on both biotic and abiotic stresses are discussed.
