[目的]揭示茎瘤芥超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）的活性以及pH、底物浓度、温度对SOD活性的影响。[方法]以茎瘤芥的瘤茎及叶片为试验材料,用邻苯三酚自氧化法分别测得它们中SOD的活性,以及pH、底物浓度、温度对其活性的影响,从而比较茎瘤芥瘤茎及叶片中SOD的含量,以及是否具有开发利用的价值。[结果]茎瘤芥瘤茎SOD的活性在200～300 U/g;茎瘤芥叶片SOD的活性在250～400U/g。说明茎瘤芥叶片SOD活性高于茎瘤芥瘤茎SOD活性。茎瘤芥SOD在pH为8.3～8.6有最大酶活性;最适温度为50℃;最适底物浓度为7 mmol/L左右。[结论]茎瘤芥叶片SOD活性高于茎瘤芥瘤茎SOD活性。研究结果为开发茎瘤芥资源提供了参考。     

普通小麦—华山新麦草异代换系和附加系的C—分带鉴定

利用染色体C-分带技术,对普通小麦-华山新麦草异代换系和附加系进行了细胞学鉴定。鉴定结果表明,普通小麦-华山新麦草的3个异代换系H921-6-12为5A/Nh5代换、H922-9-12为3B/Nh4代换、H924-3-4为3D/Nh4代换,2个异附加系H8911-1-2-6为Nh4附加、H9014-154-2为Nh7附加。初步推断华山新麦草的Nh5和Nh4染色体分别能补偿普通小麦的5A和3B,3D的缺失。     

华山新麦草穗发芽抗性相关基因AIP2的克隆及其序列分析

为了挖掘和利用华山新麦草(Psathyrostachys huashanica,2n=14,NsNs)的优良基因,拓宽小麦穗发芽抗性基因资源,以华山新麦草为材料,采用同源克隆的方法克隆AIP2基因,利用生物信息学软件分析其基因结构及功能。结果表明,从华山新麦草中成功克隆AIP2基因,该基因的开放阅读框为840bp,编码279个氨基酸残基,结构域预测结果显示AIP2蛋白含有完整的Ring保守域,属于锌指环家族成员。AIP2的gDNA含5个外显子,4个内含子,华山新麦草AIP2氨基酸序列与感穗发芽小麦品种中优9507的AIP2氨基酸序列的相似性为84%,与中优9507相比缺失了44个氨基酸,与抗穗发芽的乌拉尔图小麦的AIP2氨基酸序列的相似性为80%,华山新麦草和乌拉尔图小麦都有氨基酸缺失,推测这些缺失的氨基酸可能与华山新麦草穗发芽抗性强有很大关系。本研究为小麦穗发芽抗性改良提供了新的候选基因。     

陕北黄芥黄色种皮的遗传研究

本研究采用黄芥（Brassica juncea L.）与两个不同来源的褐籽类型芥菜型油菜杂交，研究黄芥黄色种皮的遗传。结果表明：黄芥的粒色主要受母体基因型控制，褐色对黄色为显性；F2和BC1世代株间乃至株内颜色不尽一致，但黄色单株和褐色单株能够明显区分，褐色和黄色的比例分别符合3:1和1:1的分离比例，证明黄芥的粒色主要受一对主效基因控制，同时受修饰基因和环境的影响。黄籽和褐籽杂交F2代粒色与几个品质性状的相关分析，结果证明除含油量与粒色密切相关外，其脂肪酸组分的平均值与种皮颜色也有一定的相关性。     

新麦草种子成熟过程中活力变化的研究

１９９７年对新麦草种子成熟过程中活力变化进行了研究。研究结果表明：新麦草种子活力随着种子的成熟而逐渐增加并于种子获得最大干重时，活力达到最高。试验所选的指标均反映了新麦草种子活力变化状况，种子发芽率不能直接反映种子活力的变化，但它仍是检验种子活力不可缺少的指标。单项活力指标不能全面反映活力的变化，需采用多种指标，进行综合分析。     

Morphological disparities in the epidermal and anatomical features of the leaf among wild Brassica juncea populations

In the present article, we investigated the epidermal and anatomical features of 10 wild Brassica juncea populations with different susceptibilities to glyphosate in detail. The characteristics of the leaf surface and anatomy could affect the efficacy of glyphosate uptake in weeds through the influence of its adherence and penetration. Our results showed that herbicide-resistant wild populations generally had greater leaf thickness, adaxial cutin thickness, and trichome density in the upper epidermis, but lower spongy tissue thickness and vascular bundle numbers, as compared with the susceptible populations, suggesting that differences in morphological traits among populations might contribute to their variable response to glyphosate. The possible morphological involvement in the differential susceptibility of wild B. juncea populations to glyphosate also was discussed.     

Molecular Mapping of a Stripe Rust Resistance Gene YrH9020a Transferred from Psathyrostachys huashanica Keng on Wheat Chromosome 6D

Stripe rust （yellow rust）, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici （Pst）, is one of the most devastating diseases of wheat throughout the world. H9020-1-6-8-3 is a translocation line originally developed from interspeciifc hybridization between wheat line 7182 and Psathyrostachys huashanica Keng and is resistant to most Pst races in China. To identify the resistance gene（s） in the translocation line, H9020-1-6-8-3 was crossed with susceptible cultivar Mingxian 169, and seedlings of the parents, F1, F2, F3, and BC1 generations were tested with prevalent Chinese Pst race CYR32 under controlled greenhouse conditions. The results indicated that there is a single dominant gene, temporarily designated as YrH9020a, conferring resistance to CYR32. The resistance gene was mapped by the F2 population from Mingxian 169/H9020-1-6-8-3. It was linked to six microsatellite markers, including Xbarc196, Xbarc202, Xbarc96, Xgpw4372, Xbarc21, and Xgdm141, lfanked by Xbarc96 and Xbarc202 with at 4.5 and 8.3 cM, respectively. Based on the chromosomal locations of these markers and the test of Chinese Spring （CS） nullitetrasomic and ditelosomic lines, the gene was assigned to chromosome 6D. According to the origin and the chromosomal location, YrH9020a might be a new resistance gene to stripe rust. The lfanking markers linked to YrH9020a could be useful for marker-assisted selection in breeding programs.

Establishing Cytoplasmic Male Sterility in Brassica napus by Mitochondrial Recombination with B. tournefortii

Fusion experiments between B. napus and X-ray-treated B. tournefortii protoplasts were carried out to develop cytoplasmic male sterility (ems) in B. napus. From the regenerants, six lines containing male sterile plants were selected; five lines segregated for male sterility, but one line (25–143) was completely male-sterile from the beginning. Molecular analyses of mitochondrial (mt) and chloroplast (cp) DNA of B. napus, B. tournefortii, B. juncea and cms juncea indicated that the original cytoplasmic donor of the cms juncea-system in B. napus was a B. tournefortii form, while the B. napus genotype used for the fusion experiments had a B. campestris cytoplasm. By analysis (it regenerated plants, line 25–143 was identified as possessing mt-DNA recombined between B. campestris and B. tournefortii. with the major part derived from B. campestris. No differences were detected between epDNAs from H. campestris and from line 25—143. The other five lines were similar to B. campestris with all the probes used. The low frequency of sterile lines from the fusion experiments and the inheritance of the cms in segregating progenies are both discussed.     

Pod shatter resistance evaluation in cultivars and breeding lines of Brassica napus, B. juncea and Sinapis alba

Pod shatter susceptibility was investigated in Brassica napus germplasm and shatter resistant species of B. juncea and Sinapis alba. The comparisons were made by measuring seed yield in field plots, detached pod rupture energy (RE) and the half‐life of pod‐opening. Pod shatter resistance was significantly greater in B. napus lines derived from interspecific hybridizations of B. napus with B. rapa, B. carinata and B. juncea, than common B. napus cultivars. While these lines exhibited no significant difference in resistance to pod shatter than B. juncea, an entry of S. alba had no yield loss caused by pod shatter. Resistance to pod shatter was characterized in the field as little or no yield loss after full maturity, delayed shattering in time, and stable yield performance under variable climatic conditions during pod maturity. Yield loss caused by pod shatter ranged from a low of 4% for the B. juncea cv. ‘AC Vulcan’ to a high of 61% for the black seeded B. napus line DH12075 in 2‐year field trials after 1 month maturity. Pod shatter resistance was not significantly associated with specific plant and pod morphological traits, except pod length (P = 0.005) in tested materials. Field visual scores of pod shatter through inspections of average pod shatter per plant within plots were highly correlated with plot yield loss. Indoor quantitative evaluations of pod strength using a pendulum machine to measure pod RE and random impact test to measure half‐life of pod‐opening resistance were highly correlated with field yield loss. Multiple evaluations of pod shatter in method and in time after pod maturity are recommended for reliable evaluation of pod shatter resistance.
