Seed growth of three perennial ryegrass cultivars sown on two dates and treated with trinexapac ethyl straw shortener

First‐year crops of diploid perennial ryegrass (cvs. Meridian, Bronsyn and Grasslands Impact) were sown on 1 April and 14 May 2008. Applications of trinexapac ethyl (TE) plant growth regulator at 0, 200 and 400 g a.i. ha^?1 were used to shorten stems to examine the impact of seed growth. Seed filling followed a consistent sigmoidal growth pattern with a lag phase of 127°C days, and linear duration of 390°C days. Time to 95% of final seed weight was 517°C days. Seed yield increases from TE were from higher numbers of first‐grade seeds m^?2, achieved by a higher rate of seed filling during the linear phase of 0·115 mg per °C day per spike. For all cultivars, the maximum stem dry weight occurred at 310–400°C days post‐anthesis, which suggest the stem was a strong sink. As seeds developed, their demand for assimilate increased and they drew more from the stem. At harvest, stem weights from TE treatments were 25% heavier than at anthesis, while untreated ‘Bronsyn’ and ‘Grasslands Impact’ stems were similar to those at anthesis. Thus, stems treated with TE contributed assimilates to increase seed yield but were still a net sink with assimilates in the stem at harvest. Trinexapac ethyl rate induced an inverse relationship between seed yield and stem height. This showed that competition for assimilate between stems and growing seeds limited the seed yield. Management or genetic factors that reduce stem height are likely to increase seed yields of perennial ryegrass.

Strategy to identify resistance to white mould associated with high yield for irrigated common bean in Brazil

Development of common bean cultivars with partial white mould resistance through breeding techniques has been a challenge in Brazil. As yet, lines/cultivars from breeding programmes have not been investigated for resistance; therefore, this study screened 107 lines/cultivars for their reactions to white mould in 14 preliminary trials conducted under irrigation. Thirteen resistant lines/cultivars (three of Andean origin) and six Mesoamerican cultivars (three intermediately resistant and three susceptible) were selected for further investigation. These lines/cultivars and the resistant control A195 were evaluated in six advanced trials and two straw tests to assess the effectiveness of the screening procedure. In 11 preliminary trials, screenings were performed under moderate/high or higher disease pressure. These pressures occurred in two advanced trials in which, when yields were averaged across moderate/high and high pressures, 10 Mesoamerican lines/cultivars selected for resistance yielded 14%, 23%, and 38% more than intermediately resistant cultivars, A195, and susceptible cultivars, with median disease ratings (1–9 scale) of 4.5, 5.7, 5.7, and 6.7, respectively. In the straw test, three Andean lines/cultivars (A195 included) and two susceptible cultivars in the field were among those with the highest levels of physiological resistance. Thus, field rating under high disease pressure and greenhouse rating did not correlate significantly, suggesting that field trials are critical to evaluating resistance and to identifying high-yielding beans. Therefore, lines/cultivars from breeding programmes assessed in field trials may provide a low cost and fast way to identify high-yielding bean cultivars with partial resistance to white mould in the subtropical southern hemisphere.     

Evaluating diverse systems of tobacco genetic resistance to Phytophthora nicotianae in Yunnan,China

Black shank, caused by the soilborne pathogen Phytophthora nicotianae, is one of the most devastating diseases affecting tobacco production in China. The most effective strategy for reducing economic loss from this pathogen is development and use of resistant tobacco varieties. Multiple sources and systems of resistance have been developed in the Western Hemisphere; however, populations of P. nicotianae are variable around the world, including the predominance of different races. Different P. nicotianae isolates may react differently on tobacco plants with different systems of resistance, a possibility that could complicate the breeding of cultivars with resistance that is effective in different tobacco production regions worldwide. The objective of this research was to evaluate an array of tobacco germplasm possessing different systems of genetic resistance to black shank disease in tobacco-growing regions of Yunnan, China. Resistance types included simply inherited resistance mechanisms introgressed from wild Nicotiana relatives and polygenic partial resistance systems of N. tabacum origin. The loci of Wz exhibited high level resistance to black shank in the five diverse disease environments in Yunnan, China. K326 Php/−Wz/− genotype and Beinhart 1000 exhibited the greatest levels of resistance in both 2015 and 2016. Field observed results for 13 tobacco genotypes were highly correlated with those tested in growth chamber evaluation. These findings suggest that both Wz− and Beinhart 1000-mediated resistance have important commercial value in flue-cured tobacco breeding programmes in China. Cultivars developed for black shank resistance in China may also have utility in other tobacco-growing areas.     

草地贪夜蛾对玉米和烟草的偏好性研究

自2019年初首先在云南省发现草地贪夜蛾入侵中国以来,该虫已对国家粮食安全构成严重威胁。草地贪夜蛾寄主范围广,主要喜食禾本科植物,同时也能为害多种双子叶植物。本研究以玉米和烟草为测试对象,比较研究了草地贪夜蛾在两种寄主上的产卵量及两种寄主植物对草地贪夜蛾生长发育的影响。结果表明,每个养虫笼中放入2对雌雄成虫,玉米植株上的卵块数量(17±2.65)块/笼显著多于烟草叶片上的卵块数量(3±1.73)块/笼,玉米上的幼虫数量(834.67±275.16)头/笼显著多于烟草上的幼虫数量(92±55.83)头/笼,表明草地贪夜蛾更喜欢选择玉米进行产卵和取食。烟草上草地贪夜蛾幼虫死亡率达92.53%±1.46%,但其能在烟草上产卵和存活。取食玉米籽粒的草地贪夜蛾幼虫发育历期、死亡率、体重、蛹重分别为(17.22±1.90)d、24.35%±8.13%、(0.261±0.112)g/头、(0.187±0.030)g/头,取食烟草叶片的草地贪夜蛾对应的参数分别为(26.80±1.89)d、85.49%±4.16%、(0.034±0.028)g/头、(0.131±0.028)g/头,表明取食烟草叶片的草地贪夜蛾幼虫发育历期显著延长,幼虫死亡率显著升高,幼虫体重和蛹重显著下降。与取食玉米籽粒的草地贪夜蛾相比,取食烟草叶片的个体适合度显著降低,但成虫配对后能够产卵并孵化出幼虫。与非嗜好寄主烟草相比,草地贪夜蛾取食嗜好寄主玉米表现出更高的适合度,其偏好选择玉米进行产卵和取食,但在烟草上也能完成生活史,种群密度大时存在为害烟草的潜在风险。     

施氮量和采收时期对油蔬两用型油菜菜薹维生素合成的影响

为明确施氮量和采收时期对油蔬两用型油菜薹维生素含量的影响,以富硒1号为材料,采用裂区试验设计,设置3个施氮量(120、180和240 kg·hm^-2)和4个采收时期(以株高20、30、40和50 cm表示),分析了油菜薹维生素C、维生素E、维生素B₁和维生素B₆含量的变化;比较了半乳糖内酯脱氢酶(GalLDH)、抗坏血酸氧化酶(AAO)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(DHAR)和单脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(MDHAR)活性,并分析了维生素家族基因在菜薹中的表达量。结果表明,随着施氮量的增加,油菜薹还原型维生素C(AsA)含量降低;氧化型维生素C(DHA)含量在株高20 cm采收时增加,但在30 cm及以上株高采收时则降低;维生素E和维生素B₆含量先增加后降低;维生素B₁含量增加;维生素C合成关键酶GalLDH活性先略增加后降低;AAO和DHAR活性增加,APX和MDHAR活性则整体表现为先增加后降低。且施氮量增加后,维生素家族各基因在株高30和40 cm采收的菜薹中主要表现为正向调控,而在株高20和50 cm采收的菜薹中主要表现为负向调控。就采收时期而言,菜薹中的维生素含量在株高30~40 cm时高于其他时期;在同一施氮量下,随着菜薹采收株高的增加,维生素家族基因的表达量主要呈上调模式。综合分析可知,GalLDH活性的降低以及AAO/DHAR和APX/MDHAR代谢平衡是增施氮肥导致菜薹维生素C含量降低的重要原因。本研究结果为油蔬两用型油菜薹优质栽培技术提供了理论依据。     

连作植烟土壤具有显著积累特征的两种酚酸的化感效应评价

为科学评价连作植烟土壤中具有显著积累特征的两种酚酸的化感效应,丰富现有连作障碍机理,以烤烟品种K326为试验材料,基于前期田间实测结果设置不同浓度梯度(间苯三酚:0.20、1.00、5.00 mg·kg^-1,对羟基苯甲酸0.02、0.10、0.50 mg·kg^-1)进行盆栽试验。结果表明,两种酚酸物质均显著抑制了烤烟种子萌发。间苯三酚抑制了幼苗根系的生长,且浓度越大抑制作用越强;对羟基苯甲酸对幼苗根系生长的影响表现出“低促高抑”的浓度效应。随着间苯三酚浓度的增加,叶片超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性呈上升趋势,而过氧化物酶(POD)活性呈下降趋势;随着对羟基苯甲酸浓度的增加,叶片SOD、CAT和POD活性均呈先升后降趋势。此外,两种酚酸物质均降低了烤烟幼苗叶片叶绿素含量,增加了丙二醛(MDA)含量。随着处理时间的延长,胁迫作用趋势相同。由此可知,间苯三酚和对羟基苯甲酸不同程度地抑制了烤烟幼苗的生长,且存在浓度效应。间苯三酚表现为抑制作用,浓度越高抑制作用越强;对羟基苯甲酸浓度≤0.10 mg·kg^-1时表现为促进作用,>0.10 mg·kg^-1时表现为抑制作用。对羟基苯甲酸较间苯三酚具有更强的生物毒性。本研究可以丰富植烟土壤连作障碍机理,为今后连作障碍调控提供理论依据。
