应用极大似然法分析小麦穗长的遗传

采用质量—数量性状遗传的极大似然分析方法,对长穗小麦品系93(220)的主茎穗长进行了质量—数量遗传模型测验和主、微基因效应与变异估计。结果表明:长穗小麦新品系93(220)的主茎穗长为一典型的质量—数量性状,由一个主基因和若干微基因共同控制;一对隐性主基因控制穗长,附合加性——显性遗传模型,F1代表现为部分显性,隐性主基因增加主茎穗长的效应平均为1.47,微基因遗传效应为2.83cm,隐性主基因个体主茎穗长表现为长穗。     

Detection of a broad range of potato viruses in a single assay by mechanical inoculation of herbaceous test plants

To optimize mechanical inoculation of test plants as part of the regulated post-entry quarantine testing of stolon- and tuber-forming Solanum spp. (including potato), nine test plant species have been screened for their ability to detect 22 potato-infecting viruses. These included all the common mechanically transmissible potato viruses and most of the viruses found in potato incidentally. The symptoms observed after mechanical inoculation are shown for each combination of test plant species and virus. Under given conditions, Nicotiana occidentalis -P1 and Nicotiana hesperis -67A were found to detect reliably 20 and 18 out of 22 viruses respectively. These and former results on the seed-transmissible viruses and Andean potato mottle virus demonstrate that these Nicotiana species are very suitable for post-entry quarantine testing. Addition of either Chenopodium amaranticolor or Chenopodium quinoa to these two species may slightly extend the range of viruses. Therefore, using C. amaranticolor / C. quinoa , N. hesperis -67A and N. occidentalis -P1 for the biological screening of imported Solanum spp. will improve both the efficiency and the quality of post-entry quarantine testing.
