Summary
Fusarium oxysporum causes the most serious fungus disease in tulip. Breeding for resistant cultivars may considerably contribute to a solution of the problem.Bulbs of various cultivars planted in contaminated soil showed important and significant differences in resistance. Inoculation trials in the field and in the glasshouse have led to recommendations for the screening of juvenile and adult bulbs. 相似文献

Alien species as sources of physiological traits for wheat improvement 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Summary Enhanced levels of drought, cold and salinity tolerance plus leaf photosynthesis and high protein content have been identified in species of Agropyron (Elytrigia) and Triticum (Aegilops). Because these characters, is most cases, are products of numerous metabolic pathways, they likely will have complex inheritance patterns and therefore may be difficult to transfer to bread wheat. However, all of the alien species in question are crossable with wheat. Most of the hybrids have been made and in many cases the material has been advanced to the state of addition lines which are available for screening. Where adequate screening tests are available, breeding techniques such as recurrent selection should be effective in transferring the traits.Contribution No. 781 Ottawa Research Station. 相似文献

Summary A soilless culture system is described whereby all the necessary steps of raising rice seedlings, including seeding, surface-sterilization, germination and growing of seedlings, can be conveniently achieved within a small plastic container. The system is especially suited for experiments with massive number of entries and can e.g. be used for screening of rice genotypes for salt tolerance. 相似文献

Summary In Morocco, Ascochyta blight is a major limiting factor in chickpea production. The best long term solution to the problem seems to be the production of chickpea lines with durable resistance to the disease. Because of the nature of durable resistance, screening methods assessing resistance quantitatively had to be developed. Four methods are described: a seedling test, a germination test, a score of the percentage infected pods and a hair density score. With these screening methods a quantitative assessment of resistance in chickpea to blight appeared possible.Mr Pieters is with the FAO Plant Protection and Production division.

There is no knowledge about the differential capacity of canola genotypes to take up potassium (K) and produce dry matter
under conditions of low soil K availability. Hence, 84 canola genotypes were screened for K efficiency in the glasshouse.
Plants were grown in sealed pots containing K-responsive, sandy soil without or with K added. Twelve genotypes were selected
for advanced screening in the glasshouse in a different K-responsive soil. Genotypes with a mean K efficiency ratio (the ratio
of shoot dry weight at deficient and adequate K supply) greater than one standard error above or below the median genotype
value were classified as K-efficient or K-inefficient, respectively. There were significant differences between genotypes
in the K efficiency ratio in both screening experiments, indicating that genotypes responded differently to K availability.
In the initial screening experiment, 19 genotypes were rated as K-efficient and nine genotypes rated as K-inefficient based
on the K efficiency ratio. In the advanced screening experiment with 12 genotypes, three genotypes were rated as K-efficient
and two as K-inefficient. Genotypes Wesbarker and Rainbow were K-efficient and Genkai K-inefficient in both experiments. Correlation
of the K efficiency ratio with (i) shoot K content in the initial and advanced screening and (ii) shoot K concentration in
the advanced screening, indicates that the observed differences in K efficiency were due to genotypic differences in both
the uptake and the utilization of K. K-efficient genotypes have a potential to improve canola yields on soils with low K availability. 相似文献

Summary Seedlings of Trifolium repens showed considerable variation with regard to the morphology and growth of their calli, and their ability for in vitro differentiation of shoots. One of the lines selected for regeneration in primary callus cultures also showed shoot formation from protoplasts. Somatic embryogenesis in callus cultures of T. pratense and T. arvense occurred only in selected seedling lines. This paper highlights the importance of screening a large number of plants within a cultivar of outbreeding species to achieve reproducible plant regeneration from tissue culture. 相似文献

Summary Necrotrophic pathogens of the cool season food legumes (pea, lentil, chickpea, faba bean and lupin) cause wide spread disease
and severe crop losses throughout the world. Environmental conditions play an important role in the development and spread
of these diseases. Form of inoculum, inoculum concentration and physiological plant growth stage all affect the degree of
infection and the amount of crop loss. Measures to control these diseases have relied on identification of resistant germplasm
and development of resistant varieties through screening in the field and in controlled environments. Procedures for screening
and scoring germplasm and breeding lines for resistance have lacked uniformity among the various programs worldwide. However,
this review highlights the most consistent screening and scoring procedures that are simple to use and provide reliable results.
Sources of resistance to the major necrotrophic fungi are summarized for each of the cool season food legumes. Marker-assisted
selection is underway for Ascochyta blight of pea, lentil and chickpea, and Phomopsis blight of lupin. Other measures such
as fungicidal control and cultural control are also reviewed. The emerging genomic information on the model legume, Medicago truncatula, which has various degrees of genetic synteny with the cool season food legumes, has promise for identification of closely
linked markers for resistance genes and possibly for eventual map-based cloning of resistance genes. Durable resistance to
the necrotrophic pathogens is a common goal of cool season food legume breeders. 相似文献

Summary A method was developed for screening faba bean seedlings for resistance to Ascochyta fabae. Several factors were investigated, including amount and concentration of inoculum, period of high humidity and age of leaves. Seedlings of different cultivars were tested and results compared with available field data. Older leaves proved to be less susceptible than younger leaves. Seedling tests reflected differences in resistance in the field, especially in material uniform in growth habit. 相似文献

Summary A preliminary evaluation for resistance to chili thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood of 41 and 194 pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) germplasms during 1987 and 1988, respectively, indicated chili accessions may be a promising source of resistance. In contrast, all sweet pepper accessions tested were highly susceptible. A number of chili accessions produced a moderate yield, in spite of a high thrips infestation indicating tolerance to S. dorsalis. Rating for thrips damage was more reliable and efficient than estimating thrips numbers in screening pepper accessions for resistance to thrips. Highly significant, positive correlation between ratings at the seedling stage and final rating for thrips damage indicated the feasibility of screening pepper accessions at the seedling stage. Comparing the similarities in rating among accessions resulted in 40 distinct groups. The variance-covariance matrix of the data from these 40 groups was subjected to principal component analysis. This accounted for 56 and 18 per cent of the variation across the two principal axes, respectively. Projection of chili and sweet pepper accessions along these two axes revealed three distinct clusters. About 80 per cent of chili accessions formed the first cluster, 58 per cent of the sweet pepper accessions formed the second cluster and a third cluster exhibited intermediate ratings for thrips damage. The significance of these findings in relation to geographical divergence and resistance to thrips among pepper accessions is discussed. 相似文献

Summary The Tobacco cut worm (Spodoptera litura Fab.), a polyphagous defoliating insect is a major pest on groundnut in Asia. Screening germplasm for resistance to Spodoptera litura in the field under high infestation revealed significant genotypic variation. Low damage was observed on Mutant (28-2), NC Ac 343, ICGV 86031, R 9227 and TAG 24. In the laboratory rearing of insect, the resistant genotypes, NC Ac 343, Mutant 28-2 and R 9227 affected larval growth and survival, pupal development, adult emergence and fecundity indicating antibiosis as the principal mechanism of resistance. The reduction in larval weight reared on ICGV 86031 could be due to the toughness of leaves. Though the genotype TAG 24 suffered low damage in the field, the larval and pupal development was normal in the laboratory revealing avoidance/non-preference as the mechanism of resistance. Based on the insight gained from the growth and development of the insect on resistant genotypes, the gain in weight (GIW) of the pre-starved larvae was assessed for its suitability in rapid screening. GIW in 24 h by III instar larvae fed with fully expanded II leaf was found suitable in screening for resistance based on antibiosis. The method could be adopted for screening large breeding populations in a short time under laboratory conditions. The resistant genotypes with different mechanisms of resistance could be hybridized to pool the resistant genes for enhancing the level and effectiveness of resistance in the management of the pest. 相似文献

Parasitic angiosperms cause great losses in many important crops under different climatic conditions and soil types. The most widespread and important parasitic angiosperms belong to the genera Orobanche, Striga, and Cuscuta. The most important economical hosts belong to the Poaceae, Asteraceae, Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae, and Fabaceae. Although some resistant cultivars have been identified in several crops, great gaps exist in our knowledge of the parasites and the genetic basis of the resistance, as well as the availability of in vitro screening techniques. Screening techniques are based on reactions of the host root or foliage. In vitro or greenhouse screening methods based on the reaction of root and/or foliar tissues are usually superior to field screenings and can be used with many species. To utilize them in plant breeding, it is necessary to demonstrate a strong correlation between in vitro and field data. The correlation should be calculated for every environment in which selection is practiced. Using biochemical analysis as a screening technique has had limited success. The reason seems to be the complex host-parasite interactions which lead to germination, rhizotropism, infection, and growth of the parasite. Germination results from chemicals produced by the host. Resistance is only available in a small group of crops. Resistance has been found in cultivated, primitive and wild forms, depending on the specific host-parasite system. An additional problem is the existence of pathotypes in the parasites. Inheritance of host resistance is usually polygenic and its transfer is slow and tedious. Molecular techniques have yet to be used to locate resistance to parasitic angiosperms. While intensifying the search for genes that control resistance to specific parasitic angiosperms, the best strategy to screen for resistance is to improve the already existing in vitro or greenhouse screening techniques. 相似文献

Summary The feasibility of developing an in vitro technique for screening drought-tolerant coconut germplasm has been investigated. Embryos excised from mature nuts of Sri Lanka-tall coconut were cultured as described previously. Water-stress in the culture system was progressively increased with each passage, by incorporating polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000), mannitol and sodium chloride into the culture medium. PEG and mannitol were observed to be growth inhibitory in action event at low concentrations and these two compounds were abandoned. In NaCl-stressed media, about 21% of randomly selected Sri Lanka-tall embryos died before reaching the 170 mM NaCl. About 78% survived 170 mM NaCl and only 12.6% were able to resist 320 mM NaCl. When zygotic embryos derived from two known drought-susceptible cultivars of coconut, CRIC-65 and Dwarf (from pumila) were tested using the same technique, 29% and 73% of embryos respectively died due to stress damage caused by 170 mM NaCl and none of either cultivar survived a salt concentration above 230 mM.However, embryos originated from two putative drought-tolerant cultivars showed a higher survival rate when subjected to salt stress. At 170 mM NaCl, all the embryos had developed into seedlings. In fact, percent germination of embryos was somewhat higher in 170 mM NaCl than in the control, that was devoid of NaCl. However, percent survivors gradually dropped with increase in salt concentration and about 18% survived the 330 mM NaCl. The technique seems to have great potential in screening drought-tolerant coconut germplasm. 相似文献

Search for novel genes for resistance to powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca fuliginae) in cucumber (Cucumis sativus) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary The current powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca fuligninea) resistant cucumber varieties suffer from leaf chlorosis during autumn, winter and early spring cultivation in the Netherlands. Therefore screening was carried out for novel powdery mildew resistance genes. From 177 accessions, derived from different sources, 108 accessions proved to be partially resistant to S. fuliginea. Crosses were made with 53 resistant accessions to distinguish the presence of novel genes. It is likely that the accessions C. sativus 2145, C. sativus LV 41, PI 188807, Vladivostokij, White and Yellow 1 have one or more recessive powdery mildew resistance genes, different from powdery mildew resistance genes of the line NPI, which was used for variety breeding. Powdery mildew resistance tests with S. fuliginea give similar results in different regions of the world.Abbreviations pmr

Summary Thirty-two accessions of Avena species and breeding lines were evaluated for resistance, primarily antibiosis, to the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) in greenhouse and growth room tests. The highest levels of resistance were found in A. barbata and in the perennial species A. macrostachya. One breeding line, Obee, was also found to have interesting resistance characters. Resistance in A. macrostachya is discussed in relation to perenniality. A different screening method for rapid testing of large collections of varieties is evaluated. 相似文献

Seventeen tea accessions belonging to Chinese (Camellia sinensis), Assamic (C. sinensis var. assamica), and Shan tea (C. sinensis var. pubilimba) groups, which are either commercially planted or new promising tea germplasm, were morphologically described at Phu Tho
province (Viet Nam) and assessed for their diversity. Fourteen phyllometric parameters were qualitatively and quantitatively
investigated using digital image analysis. The accessions were then discriminated by a dedicated artificial neural network
for univocal plant identification and a hierarchical cluster analysis was performed in order to build a dendrogram reporting
the relationships among them. Results proved the diversity of investigated tea morphotypes from Phu Tho province based on
a morphological screening. More, the artificial neural network was able to perform a correct identification for almost all
the accessions using simple dedicated instruments. 相似文献

Summary A sampling technique is proposed for rapid digestibility screening of herbage grass ecotypes. Its application in the characterisation of genetic resources is discussed. The technique aims to standardize maturity and circumvent the problems of variation in stem:leaf ratio and the use of single plants versus swards.A experiment comparing the method with a standard technique using eleven ecotypes plus two controls of Lolium multiflorum is described. 相似文献

Construction and characterization of a BAC library for sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library was constructed using the sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) restorer line RHA325, which carries the restorer gene Rf1 and the Pl2-gene conferring resistance to downy mildew. High molecular weight DNA was prepared from nuclei using leaf material from two-week old seedlings. The library was constructed using the HindIII site of pBeloBAC11. The current BAC library comprises 104,736 clones. The insert size of the clones varied between 20 and 270 kb, with an average insert size of 60 kb. The whole 1.9× sunflower BAC library was spotted in duplicate on four high-density filters, each carrying 55,296 clones. The content of organellar DNA, which was estimated by colony hybridisation against the mitochondrial probe coxI and the chloroplast probe rbcL, proved to be less than 0.03 and 0.1%, respectively. BAC pools, allowing PCR-based screening, were made and used to identify positive BAC clones for the markers OP-K13_454, closely linked to the restorer gene Rf1. The PCR-based screening was verified by the results obtained for this marker by colony hybridisation. 相似文献
