调查油菜自发黄化突变体(NY)、野生型(NG)及其正反交后代材料(F₁和rF₁)的光合色素含量、光合特性、叶绿素荧光参数及农艺性状,分析五叶期各参数的变化规律。表明,突变体叶绿素a、叶绿素b、类胡萝卜素和总叶绿素均大幅减少,其中叶绿素b减幅最大;净光合速率显著降低,胞间CO₂浓度升高,但气孔导度与野生型等相当,表明光合速率不受气孔限制;光补偿点和光饱和点升高,暗呼吸速率与野生型等相当,表观量子效率和光补偿点处量子效率显著降低;CO₂补偿点、光呼吸速率和羧化效率均显著降低,CO₂饱和点则显著升高;突变体的荧光参数,包括F_o、F_m、F_v/F_m、F_v'/F_m'、Φ_PSII、q_p、NPQ和ETR均显著降低,说明光合色素含量降低导致PSII反应中心捕光能力弱和光化学转化效率低,使叶片光合速率降低。突变体的黄化持续时间较长,对生长发育产生影响较大,单株籽粒产量只有野生型的57.09%,但与正常材料组配F₁的光合特性和农艺性状均能恢复到正常水平。     

Physiological Effects of Winter Rape (Brassica napus var. oleifera) Prehardening to Frost. I. Frost Resistance and Photosynthesis during Cold Acclimation

The objective of the research was to define the changes in photosynthetic activity induced by prehardening and to determine their involvement in frost tolerance of winter rape.
Prehardening of winter rape, consisting of keeping the plants at + 12°C during the light periods from sprouting until the beginning of the 1st stage of cold hardening, contributed to increasing its effectiveness. After 42 days of hardening at + 2°C the resistance of the prehardened plants equalled that attained by winter rape in the most favourable seasons of vegetation in the field. Prehardening stimulated the efficiency of photosynthesis at chill temperatures (+ 2–5°C). Differences in photosynthetic efficiency, like those in frost resistance, increase with successive weeks of hardening. They also concern the leaves already developed at the hardening temperature. A prehardened photosynthetic apparatus is less susceptible to the progress of photoinactivation taking place when the seedlings are kept at + 2°C. It also demonstrated greater activity even during the first hour of hardening or in the newly expanding leaves, and also at higher temperatures, most probably because of the more efficient progress of the dark, processes. The described changes in the functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus induced by prehardening were thus qualitatively very similar to those observed during long-term growth at + 5°C. already described in the literature.

Relationship between Prehardening, Photosynthetic Activity at Cold Acclimation Temperatures and Frost Tolerance in Winter Rape (Brassica napus var. oleifera). The Consequences for the Reliability of Frost Resistance Estimation under Controlled Conditions

The effect of prehardening (early stage of growth at moderate low temperatures (+12°C) during the day) on the reliability of frost resistance estimation in a controlled environment has been studied on three winter oilseed rape cultivars differing markedly in their field survival rate (Leo, Górczański and Idol). It has been also examined the relationship between the photosynthetic activity during the first stage of cold acclimation and the level of frost resistance observed in investigated cultivars. Presented results demonstrated that prehardening, which increases to a significant degree the effectiveness of the cold acclimation process, also increases the differences in cold hardiness between cultivars, and limits the magnitude of experimental errors made during frost resistance estimation under controlled conditions. In all studied cultivars, prehardening increases significantly the photosynthetic activity during cold acclimation. On the other hand, both in the prehardened and in the non-prehardened plants, no relation has been found between either gas exchange rates or chlorophyll 'a' fluorescence characteristics at low temperatures and cultivar ability for acclimation. Neither the existing differences in photosynthetic activity, nor the degree of photosynthetic apparatus acclimation to cold, which occurs during prehardening, are the factors responsible for the frost resistance variation observed between studied cultivars.     

生长延缓剂对槟榔苗期叶绿素含量与叶绿素荧光参数的影响

为探讨生长延缓剂对槟榔苗期矮壮的光合特性。于2006年6-11月以移栽45天后海南槟榔为材料,通过喷施250mg/L与500mg/L多效唑、40mg/L和80 mg/L烯效唑及清水5个处理,研究其对槟榔苗期叶绿素含量及叶绿素荧光参数的影响。结果表明：喷施多效唑与烯效唑均能显著增加苗期槟榔叶绿素含量,且使叶绿素荧光参数Fv/Fo,Fv/Fm,qP显著增加,而降低qN、NPQ非光化学猝灭系数,并以250mg/L多效唑处理效果较明显。说明适当浓度的多效唑处理可增加PSII反应中心开放比例,推动光合电子传递,提高槟榔叶片光合性能,起到壮苗目的。

Assessment of Cold and Heat Tolerance of Winter-grown Canola (Brassica napus L.) Cultivars by Pollen-based Parameters

Winter‐grown canola (Brassica napus L.) production is limited mostly by frost and winter kill in the southern canola‐growing regions of the United States. Tolerance to cold and heat were assessed by studying percentage of pollen viability (PV), in vitro pollen germination (PG) and pollen tube length (PTL) for 12 field‐grown cultivars. Freshly collected pollen from all cultivars were incubated on artificial solid growth media at a constant temperature ranging from 10 to 35 °C at 5 °C interval for 30 h to determine PG and PTL. A modified bilinear model best described the temperature response functions of PG and PTL. Canola cultivars showed significant variability (P < 0.001) for PV (61.3 % to 89.7 %), PG (29.0 % to 48.2 %) and PTL (463 to 931 μm). The average cardinal temperatures, T_min, T_opt and T_max, for PG and PTL were 6.4, 24.3 and 33.7 °C, respectively. Principal component analysis revealed that maximum PG, PTL, T_min and T_opt of both PG and PTL were the most important factors in determining cold tolerance, whereas T_max of PG and PTL, and maximum PG and PTL were more responsible in separating the cultivars for heat tolerance. The canola cultivar, KS3077, was the most cold tolerant with the lowest T_min and the widest temperature adaptability range, and the cultivar Kadore was the most heat tolerant with the highest T_max for the PG. The identified cold‐ and heat‐tolerant cultivars may be useful in canola‐breeding programmes to develop cultivars suitable for a niche environment.

Chlorophyll Fluorescence‐Based Studies of Frost Damage and the Tolerance for Cold‐Induced Photoinhibition in Freezing Tolerance Analysis of Triticale (×Triticosecale Wittmack)

Freezing tolerance of 60 breeding lines of winter hexaploid triticale (×Triticosecale Wittmack) was studied in the field‐laboratory experiment. The experiment was repeated over three winters. The survey was also carried out in plants grown and cold‐acclimated in the laboratory. In both the experiments, plant survival analysis and chlorophyll fluorescence‐based studies on energy flows in photosystem II (PSII) (JIP‐test) after freezing of detached leaves were performed. In the laboratory experiment, the temperature of 50 % electrolyte leakage from leaves and the resistance against cold‐induced photoinhibition were additionally investigated. In the case of plants’ cold‐acclimated in the field, determination of the freezing tolerance of PSII gave similar results as the determination of freezing tolerance of whole plants. Both traits were strongly affected by genotype–environmental interactions, but these effects were less visible for PSII characteristics. In the laboratory experiments, a strong correlation between freezing tolerance and the tolerance for cold‐induced photoinhibition of photosynthesis was observed. The possibility of the use of chlorophyll fluorescence‐based techniques for the determination of freezing tolerance in triticale is discussed.     

Effects of Exposure to Short Periods of Suboptimal Temperature during Chill (5 °C) on Gas Exchange and Chlorophyll Fluorescence in Maize Seedlings (Zea Mays L.)

The effect of various periods of exposure to suboptimal temperature ('warm breaks'– WB: 14 °C for 4 h, 1 h and 0 h – control in 24 h cycles) during chilling (5 °C) of maize seedlings on the photosynthesis, the photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) and on the injuries of the cell membranes of leaves and water content in plants was compared. The measurements were conducted after 1, 3, 7 and 12 chill cycles. It was found that WB of either length distinctly diminished the chill-induced inhibition of net photosynthesis and the decrease of photochemical efficiency of PSII. The protective effect on WB on these parameters was observed shortly after completion of chilling of the plant as well as an after-effect. Daily warming up of the plants also reduced the leakage of electrolytes and diminished the water deficit of the chilled seedlings. The protective effect of WB on the measured parameters of the plants was greater in the chill-sensitive genotype than in the chill-tolerant one, especially when plants were warmed up for 4 h. The results obtained are an indication that short periods of warm weather during cold spring may diminish the injuries of the photosynthetic apparatus, as well as reduce the disturbance of water status of seedlings, contributing in this way to better condition of maize crops.     

Simultaneous improvement in cold tolerance and yield of temperate japonica rice (Oryza sativa L.) by introgression breeding

To combine high yield and improved cold tolerance (CT) in a japonica rice variety, ‘Chaoyou1’ (CY1), 324 BC₂F₅ introgression lines (ILs) selected for CT from 11 CY1 BC₂F₄ populations were evaluated in replicated experiments for their CT at the reproductive and seedling stages. A mean realized heritability of 0.747 was achieved in this study for CT. Evaluation of 116 ILs from five BC populations in replicated experiments under stress and normal conditions identified 18 promising ILs that had greatly improved CT and yield compared with CY1. Detailed comparisons between the ILs and CY1 for CT and yield‐related traits under stress and non‐stress conditions provided useful information and better understanding of important issues such as donor selection, selection efficiency and associated changes in non‐target traits in the BC breeding process. The large numbers of CT ILs developed provide useful materials for genetic, physiological and molecular dissection of CT and yield traits using DNA markers and ‐omic tools, and as parents for further improving these traits by designed QTL pyramiding.     

Identification of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] lines tolerant to soil salinity

Crop tolerance to salinity is of high importance due to the extent and the constant increase in salt-affected areas in arid and semi-arid regions. Pearl millet (Pennistum glaucum), generally considered as fairly tolerant to salinity, could be an alternative crop option for salt affected areas. To explore the genotypic variability of vegetative-stage salinity tolerance, 100 pearl millet lines from ICRISAT breeding programs were first screened in a pot culture containing Alfisol with 250 mM NaCl solution as basal application. Subsequently, 31 lines including many parents of commercial hybrids, selected from the first trial were re-tested for confirmation of the initial salinity responses. Substantial variation for salinity tolerance was found on the basis of shoot biomass ratio (shoot biomass under salinity/ non-saline control) and 22 lines with a wide range of tolerance varying from highly tolerant to sensitive entries were identified. The performance of the genotypes was largely consistent across experiments. In a separate seed germination and seedling growth study, the seed germination was found to be adversely affected (more than 70% decrease) in more than half of the genotypes with 250 mM concentration of NaCl. The root growth ratio (root growth under salinity/control) as well as shoot growth ratio was measured at 6 DAS and this did not reflect the whole plant performance at 39 DAS. In general, the whole plant salinity tolerance was associated with reduced shoot N content, increased K⁺ and Na⁺ contents. The K⁺/Na⁺ and Ca⁺⁺/Na⁺ ratios were also positively related to the tolerance but not as closely as the Na⁺ content. Therefore, it is concluded that a large scope exists for improving salt tolerance in pearl millet and that shoot Na⁺ concentration could be considered as a potential non-destructive selection criterion for vegetative-stage screening. The usefulness of this criterion for salinity response with respect to grain and stover yield remains to be investigated.     

水稻、大豆、玉米光合速率的日变化及其对光强响应的滞后效应

用LI-6400光合测定系统对水稻、大豆和玉米3种作物在不同生育时期叶片光合速率的日变化规律进行了研究。结果表明:在各个生育时期,C3作物(水稻、大豆)叶片的光合作用均存在午休现象。而午休现象的产生是气孔因素与非气孔因素共同作用的结果。其中“气孔因素”是高温加剧蒸腾作用,气孔对蒸腾作用的反馈抑制造成的。C3作物(水稻、大豆)叶片的光合速率对光强的响应在上午和下午存在明显差异,上午利用光能的能力明显大于下午。这主要表现在上午的表观初始量子效率比下午大。光合产物对光合作用的反馈抑制会造成这种量子效率的差异性。无论是气孔限制还是光合产物反馈抑制都可能是导致光合速率对光强响应产生“滞后效应”的主要原因。C4作物(玉米)的午休现象不明显,光合速率对光强的响应在上午和下午的差异也不明显,不存在明显的“滞后效应”,这可能与C4作物(玉米)自身的生理特性适应高温的能力有关。     

The Introduction of Transgenes to Control Blackheart in Pineapple (Ananas Comosus L.) cv. Smooth Cayenne by Microprojectile Bombardment

Summary A transformation technique for the introduction of transgenes to control blackheart by particle bombardment has been developed for pineapple cv. Smooth Cayenne. Leaf callus cultures capable of high frequency organogenesis with a short regeneration time were used as explant material. Gus and gfp reporter genes were used to observe and determine transient and stable expression. The ppo gene, isolated from pineapple, was introduced to control blackheart. Co-transformation occurred with constructs containing the nptII gene conferring geneticin resistance. We have recovered 15 independent transgenic gus and gfp lines each from 8 separate experiments and 22 ppo lines from 11 experiments. Gus, gfp, ppo and nptII positive plants have been regenerated, which have been shown by Southern blot analysis to be stable transgenics containing multiple copies of the introduced genes. These results show that biolistic gene delivery in pineapple can be successfully achieved at an acceptable efficiency of 0.21–1.5% for genetic improvement of ’Smooth Cayenne’, the industry standard throughout the world.     

Maize Smut Induced by Ustilago maydis (D. C.) Corda – Reaction of Maize Hybrids and Lines to Smut Disease

A field experiment was carried out during the growing seasons 1982, 1983 and 1984 to evaluate the reaction of different maize hybrids and lines to smut disease and to give further informations on the effect of environmental factors on smut incidence.
The kernels of 17 different maize hybrids and 17 inbred line were planted in the field and the stand was maintained constant of 30 plants per row during the respective years. Each plant was subjected to an artificial infection by dropping 2 ml of U. maydis -spore suspension into the leaf whorl at 6–8 leaf stage. Field observations, concerning the number, the size and location of smut galls were recorded for each individual plant whenever the symptoms appeared. The reaction of maize genotypes was evaluated on a new classified system and the differential response was correlated with the changes ol meteorological data.
The results indicated that hybrids: Circe LG9, E1, Kaceplns, Limac-LG11 and RA 94A x RA 320 as well as lines: F2, L1, L2, L8, RA 94A, RA 320, W33 and W401 were highly resistant; while the hybrids E2, F7 x EP1.J and Giga as well as lines: EP1J, F115, L5 and L6 were highly susceptible. The reaction of these genotypes exhibited an identical behaviour during the 3 years. The remaining genotypes were unstable and showed differential response to degree of infection and location of smut galls. The increase of smut infection in 1982 relative to that recorded in 1984, under the same wet weather conditions, was attributed to the increase of air temperature and sunshine duration. Under dry weather condition, as in 1983, increasing temperature and sunshine duration had little effect on smut incidence.     

Evaluation of a collection of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) genotypes originating from the Maghreb for resistance to chocolate spot (Botrytis fabae) by assessment in the field and laboratory

Screening of 136 faba bean lines forresistance to chocolate spot caused by thefungus Botrytis fabae was conductedin field conditions with artificialinoculation. Detached leaves of thesegenotypes were also assessed for diseaseseverity after inoculation under controlledconditions with a B. fabaesuspension. The BPL710 and Aguadulcegenotypes were inserted as resistant andsusceptible checks, respectively. Diseasesymptoms were scored visually in bothexperiments. Diameter of lesions andproduction of spores were measured in thedetached leaf assay. The disease scoreindex and diameter of lesions were used tocalculate the area under the diseaseprogress curve (AUDPC) to measure thedisease progress. Significant differenceswere detected among genotypes for reactionto the disease in the field. However, nocomplete resistance was observed. Forhighly susceptible and highly resistantgenotypes, the laboratory assay generallyled to the same result as the field test,nevertheless, for more intermediate levelsthe agreement was weak. On detached leaves,diameter of lesions was significantlycorrelated to the AUDPC of disease scores(r = 0.89) and moderately correlated tosporulation (r = 0.52). The correlationbetween field AUDPC and detached leaf AUDPCof disease scores was low (r = 0.26). A lowcorrelation was also observed between fieldAUDPC and lesion size (r = 0.30) andbetween field AUDPC and sporulation (r =0.32). Among the 136 genotypes evaluated inthis study, nine were convincingly andhighly resistant in both tests. FRYM167 andFRYA58 genotypes were the most resistantwith low AUDPC of disease scores, low AUDPCof lesion diameter and low sporeproduction. These genotypes obviously havepartial resistance.     

Diallel analysis of partial resistance to powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei in spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Summary Six spring barley genotypes with growth stage dependent expression of partial resistance to powdery mildew were crossed following a half diallel scheme. Data for percentage infected leaf area at different growth stages from the F1 and F2 generation and the F2 offspring were analyzed. The absence of a contrast between parents and offspring indicated that dominance effects were not important at the young growth stages. Diallel analysis showed that general combining ability effects (GCA) were important at all growth stages. Although significant, specific combining ability effects were of minor importance. The cross between the most resistant parents with the largest, negative GCA resulted in the most resistant progeny.     

Improved frost tolerance and winter survival in winter barley (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Hordeum vulgare</Emphasis> L.) by <Emphasis Type="Italic">in vitro</Emphasis> selection of proline overaccumulating lines

Embryogenic calli derived from anther cultures of the two-rowed winter barley cultivar Igri were plated on solid L3 medium containing the proline analogue hydroxyproline (Hyp), 10–20 mmol l^–1. Exposure to Hyp caused severe degeneration of most of the calli. Hyp resistant calli, distinguishable by their lighter colour and higher growth rate, and control calli not exposed to Hyp were plated on L3 regeneration medium. From 22,500 anthers exposed to Hyp 46 Hyp resistant regenerates were obtained, which were transferred to soil. After cultivation for 5–10 weeks at normal growth conditions they were cold hardened at 2 C under short day conditions together with control regenerates. Frost tolerance assays with segments of fully grown leaves of unhardened and cold hardened plants revealed that Hyp resistant regenerants were significantly more frost tolerant than the control regenerants. Improved frost tolerance was found also in the progenies R₁ to R₉, and genotypic segregation in the R₁ generation in a 1:2:1 ratio was indicated. Increased proline content was observed in the R₂ generation and in subsequent generations and was significantly (P 0.001) correlated with increased frost tolerance in the Hyp lines. Comparative studies of R₉ progenies from homozygous R₂ plants with the wild type Igri under field conditions in winter at three locations in Europe as well as crossing experiments confirmed the heritable improvement of frost tolerance and winter survival, respectively, in the Hyp lines. The results support the hypothesis that proline accumulation in cold acclimated winter barley plants is causally related to the acquisition of frost tolerance. Moreover, the described biotechnological procedure may be applicable in breeding programs for improved winter hardiness and possibly also for other stress tolerances.
