Inheritance of resistance to Fusarium wilt in Indian lentil germplasm (Lens culinaris Medik.)

Summary Three lentil genotypes resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis viz. Pant L 234, JL 446 and LP 286 were crossed with two susceptible ones. The hybrid plants were all resistant in the eight crosses evaluated. Segregation pattern for wilt reaction in F₂, BC(P₁), BC(P₂) and F₃ generations in field and glasshouse conditions indicated that resistance to Fusarium wilt is under the control of two dominant duplicate genes in Pant L 234 and two independent dominant genes with complementary effects in JL 446 and LP 286. A third dominant gene complementary to the dominant genes in JL 446 and LP 286 is present in two susceptible lines. Allelic tests suggest the presence of five independently segregating genes for resistance. Duplicate dominant genes in Pant L 234 are non-allelic to two dominant genes with complementary effects in LP 286 and JL 446 and the third gene complementary to the two genes in JL 446 and LP 286 in susceptible lines JL 641 and L 9–12. Gene symbols among parental genotypes have been designated.     

Genetic Analysis of Resistance to Green Leafhopper in Rice

The inheritance of resistance to green leafhopper, Nephotettix impicticeps Ichi, was studied in 11 cultivars of rice, Oryza saliva L. These resistant cultivars were crossed with the susceptible cultivar ‘TN1’. The materials consisted of F₁, F₂ and F₃ populations including parents which were assessed by the bulk screening test. It was found that resistance in the cultivars TR36′, UPR254-35-3′-2′, ‘Jhingasail’, ‘Govind’, ‘RP825-45-1-3’, ‘MRC603-303’, ‘RD4’, and ‘Irat104 ’ was conditioned by a single dominant gene, whereas resistance in ‘Ptb8’ IR9805-97-1′, and ‘BG367-7’ was controlled by one recessive gene. The test on the allelic relationships of the resistance genes in the test cultivars with the known genes Glb1 and Glb2 revealed that the single dominant gene that conveyed the resistance in ‘UPR254-35-3-2’ and ‘Jhingasail’ was allelic to Glh1 and segregated independently of Glh2. The resistance in ‘Govind’ and ‘RP82S-45-1-3’ was governed by the Glh2 gene which was independent of Glh1. The test cultivars ‘IR36’;. ‘MRC603-303’, ‘RD4’. and Irat104 ’ had a dominant gene for resistance which was nonallelic to Glb1 and Glb2. The recessive gene which conditioned the resistance in ‘Ptb8’, ‘IR9805-97-1’, and ‘BG367-1’ segregated independently of Glh1 and Glh2. Eleven trisomics in an ‘TR36’ background were crossed with ‘Java’, a cultivar susceptible to green leafhopper. The segregation pattern of the F₂ and backcross generations revealed that the Glb6 gene was located on chromosome 5.     

Further evidence of polygenic inheritance of partial resistance in barley to leaf rust,Puccinia hordei

Summary The latent period (LP) is a crucial component of partial resistance. Five cultivars, L94, Sultan (Su), Volla (Vl), Julia (Ju) and Vada (Va), representing the known range in partial resistance and LP were crossed in a diallel, and the F₁, F₂ and F₃ tested. The LP effectuated by the five cultivars is about 9, 10^1/2, 10^1/2, 13 and 15^1/2 days, respectively. The crosses Su×L94, Vl×L94 and Ju×L94 had an F₂ positively skewed. Their F₂ means were similar or only slightly larger than the F₁ means. The F₂ frequency distributions in the crosses Vl×Su, Ju×Su and Ju×Vl were normal or nearly so with F₁ and F₂ means similar to each other and to the mid-parent value. The crosses involving Va as a parent again showed a positive skewness but with F₂ means considerably larger than the F₁ moans.Most F₂'s ranged from the low parent to the high parent values without transgression. In the crosses Va×L94 (reported earlier) and Ju×L94 the parental values were not recovered among 216 and 154 F₂ plants, respectively. The cross Ju×Va showed transgression beyond the low parent, Ju.From these data it is concluded, assuming no linkage, that seven loci are involved. The + alleles (governing a longer LP) are thought to be distributed over the parents as follows: % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaafiart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr% 4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq-Jc9% vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0-yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0xfr-x% fr-xb9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaamaabaabaaGceaqabeaacaqGmb% GaaeyoaiaabsdacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabcca% caqGGaGaaeiiaiaab2cacaqGTaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiai% aabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGTaGaaeylaiaabccacaqGGaGa% aeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeylaiaab2caca% qGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaa% b2cacaqGTaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaae% iiaiaabccacaqGTaGaaeylaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqG% GaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeylaiaab2cacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabc% cacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGTaGaaeyl% aiaabccaaeaacaqGtbGaaeyDaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccaca% qGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGRaGaae4kaiaa% bccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGRaGaae% 4kaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabUcacaqG% RaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaab2% cacaqGTaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeii% aiaabccacaqGTaGaaeylaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGa% GaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeylaiaab2cacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabcca% caqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGTaGaaeylaa% qaaiaabAfacaqGSbGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqG% GaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabUcacaqGRaGaaeiiaiaabc% cacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabUcacaqGRaGaaeii% aiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeylaiaab2cacaqGGa% GaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabUca% caqGRaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiai% aab2cacaqGTaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGa% aeiiaiaabccacaqGTaGaaeylaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccaca% qGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaab2cacaqGTaaabaGaaeOs% aiaabwhacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGa% GaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaae4kaiaabUcacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabcca% caqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaae4kaiaabUcacaqGGaGaaeiiai% aabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGRaGaae4kaiaabccacaqGGaGa% aeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGRaGaae4kaiaabccaca% qGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGRaGaae4kaiaa% bccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaab2cacaqGTaGaae% iiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqG% GaGaaeylaiaab2caaeaacaqGwbGaaeyyaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiai% aabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabUcacaqGRaGa% aeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabUcaca% qGRaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaae4kaiaa% bUcacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaae% 4kaiaabUcacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqG% GaGaaeylaiaab2cacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabc% cacaqGGaGaae4kaiaabUcacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabccacaqGGaGaaeii% aiaabccacaqGGaGaaeiiaiaabUcacaqGRaaaaaa!1BBA!\[\begin{gathered} {\text{L94 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - }} \hfill \\ {\text{Su + + + + + + - - - - - - - - }} \hfill \\ {\text{Vl + + + + - - + + - - - - - - }} \hfill \\ {\text{Ju + + + + + + + + + + - - - - }} \hfill \\ {\text{Va + + + + + + + + - - + + + + }} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]The genes are supposed to act additively (intermediate inheritance) with the exception of one locus (the 6th or 7th locus) which shows dominance for the shorter LP (for the-alleles). The effect of this locus on LP seems considerably larger than that of the other loci. There are indications of physiological barriers, which means that LP's shorter than the one of L94 or much longer than that of Va are not possible.The effect of + genes in genotypes governing LP's close to these barriers (with very few or very many + alleles respectively) is smaller than in genotypes governing intermediate LP's.     

紫花苜蓿和马唐根的生物力学性能及相关因素的试验研究

选择固土护坡植物时，植物根的抗拉强度是一项重要的力学指标。对豆科的紫花苜蓿和禾本科的马唐根的抗拉力和纤维素含量的研究表明，根的抗拉强度和纤维素含量均与直径呈显著的负相关关系，根的抗拉强度与纤维素含量呈正相关关系，表明“木本植物根的抗拉强度、直径和纤维素含量关系”的研究结论在这两种草本植物上也同样适用。对紫花苜蓿和马唐根的抗拉强度与其“木质素/纤维素”之间关系的研究表明，两者呈负相关关系，证实纤维素含量对于维持根抗拉强度的作用大于木质素含量。研究发现，豆科紫花苜蓿根的应力-应变为对数函数关系，不符合胡克定律，马唐根的应力-应变关系的本构方程基本遵从胡克定律。直径愈小，紫花苜蓿和马唐根的应力—应变关系对应变率敏感程度愈高，根的极限延伸率愈大。另外，根的抗拉力和直径测试设备的改进，实验结果更准确可靠。这方面研究对揭示植物根系提高土壤抗冲击性和抗剪强度机理，更好地进行水土保持植物的选择和优化组合具有重要意义。     

Bryophyte species richness on boulders: relationship to area, habitat diversity and canopy tree species

Bryophytes growing on siliceous boulders (diameter 50-200 cm) were studied in two forests in east-central Sweden to investigate the influence of different canopy tree species on the bryophyte species richness. Granite boulders lying below crowns of Ulmus glabra (elm), Fraxinus excelsior (ash), Acer platanoides (maple), Quercus robur (oak), Betula pendula (birch), and Picea abies (Norway spruce) were studied in two mixed stands. Both boulder area and within-boulder habitat diversity were positively related to species richness. Boulders below the base-rich deciduous trees F. excelsior, U. glabra and A. platanoides held roughly twice as many species as those below P. abies, with Q. robur and B. pendula as intermediates. The rank order among trees was as expected from bark pH and litter decomposability in the literature. We also used sample plots to investigate species richness at a smaller scale. Within plots, intermediate levels of litter, inclination and exposed rock promoted species richness, and also the covering tree species had an effect. Individual plots were on average not more species-rich on large boulders than on small ones. This leads us to conclude that population extinctions on the plot-level, and re-colonisations from other parts of the boulder, are less important for species richness than within-boulder habitat diversity. Since species richness was lower under P. abies it is important to favour a diversity of tree species and to include base-rich deciduous trees in otherwise homogeneous Picea forests.     

森林生态系统中初级生产者-分解者养分的关系

 森林生态系统中,初级生产者和分解者之间的养分关系,是一种既互利又竞争的复杂关系。通过构建初级生产者-分解者系统的养分流动模型,分析分解者增长受碳限制或受养分限制的判断标准。在假定整个系统封闭的前提下,讨论初级生产者与分解者实现共存并保持长久稳定的条件:一是分解者必须受碳限制,这要求分解者较之初级生产者对养分吸收具有更强的竞争力;二是矿化系数与碎屑化系数之比(a41/a23)要足够大于在初级生产者中的碳/养分与在分解者中的碳/养分之比(α/β)。这表明,从化学计量论的角度来看,生态系统的持续和稳定,对碳/养分之比和植物与微生物的竞争能力方面有严格的要求。
