鄂西贫困县耕地利用转型空间分异及其影响因素

耕地利用转型对推动乡村转型发展,促进乡村社会经济水平的提高具有重要意义。为准确分析鄂西贫困县耕地利用转型的空间分异特征及其影响因素,该文从空间形态和功能形态2方面测度了耕地利用转型状况,利用空间自相关模型分析了耕地利用转型的空间分异特征,并利用径向基神经网络模型从人口、经济和产业结构3方面分析了耕地利用转型空间分异的影响因素效用。结果表明:从全局空间自相关来看,鄂西16贫困县2002-2013年耕地空间转型具有显著正相关效应,其中在2002-2005年正相关效应最强;而耕地功能形态转型呈现出逐渐减弱的空间正相关效应。从局部空间自相关来看,鄂西16贫困县耕地空间形态转型的低-低区分布主要在鄂西北地区,高-高区和低-高区主要分布在鄂西南地区;耕地功能转型的局部空间自相关性较低,空间异质性不明显,仅来凤县处于高-高区。在影响因素效用方面,人均固定资产投资和城市化率对耕地空间形态转型的影响效用最大,人口密度和第一产业占比影响效用最低;人口密度和人均固定资产投资对耕地功能形态转型的影响效用最大,城市化率、人均GDP、第一产业占比等影响因素效用较低。在影响因素的调控过程中,因素的影响效用与耕地利用转型调控程度呈正相关,因素的影响效用越高,对耕地利用转型调控力度越大。     

干湿循环下云南非饱和红土土—水特性研究

以云南红土为研究对象,以脱湿、吸湿引起的干湿循环作为控制条件,考虑初始干密度(1.20,1.25,1.30g/cm3)、初始含水率(30.0%,33.0%,36.0%)、预固结压力(0,50,100,200kPa)、过筛粒径(0.5,1.0,2.0mm)等影响因素,通过压力板仪法,研究干湿循环下云南非饱和红土的土—水作用特性。结果表明:干湿循环过程中,不同影响因素下红土的基质吸力随含水率的增大而减小,其土—水特征曲线呈直线型或倒J形,其脱湿变化过程可以分为快速脱湿、缓慢脱湿、稳定脱湿3个阶段,对应的吸湿变化过程也可以分为快速吸湿、缓慢吸湿、稳定吸湿3个阶段。相同基质吸力下,随初始干密度、初始含水率、预固结压力的增大,红土的含水率增大;随粒径的增大,红土的含水率减小。初始干密度、预固结压力、粒径(0.5mm除外)影响下的红土的土—水特征曲线可采用幂函数关系进行拟合,不同初始含水率、粒径0.5mm时的土—水特征曲线可采用线性函数关系进行拟合。红土脱湿过程的含水率高于吸湿过程的含水率,脱湿—吸湿过程中的土—水特征曲线存在滞后现象,其实质在于干湿循环作用下红土具有孔隙效应、瓶颈效应、角度效应的综合结果。

Development of new cytoplasmic source of male sterile lines in rice for shallow lowland

Two shallow lowland male sterile lines, MotiA and PadminiAwith Miz.4 cytoplasmic source were developed throughintervarietal hybridization and recurrent backcrossing withtheir respective parents. In all probability, MotiA and PadminiA of Miz.4 source may be genetically different from the Wild abortive CMS source (V.20A). These two CMS lines are semitall in stature, photosensitive, of late duration in flowering with easy fertility restoration ability, and thus could be useful for developing hybrid rice suitable for shallow lowland areas.     

Congruity backcrossing as a means of creating genetic variability in self pollinated crops: seed morphology of Phaseolus vulgaris L. and P. acutifolius A. Gray hybrids

Summary Seeds of early generations of three reciprocal congruity-backcross (CBC) pedigrees, developed by backcrossing Phaseolus vulgaris-P. acutifolius hybrids to each of the parent species in alternate generations, exhibited a preponderance of traits (size, shape, color, and pattern) of the cytoplasmic parent. The large size of Red Cloud (V₁), the P. vulgaris parent common to all of the pedigrees, dominated pedigrees with V₁ as the cytoplasmic parent, while the small size and rounded or square shapes of the tepary parents, wild P. acutifolius var. acutifolius PI 263590 or G400445 (A₁₉), wild P. acutifolius var. latifolius PI 406622 (A₁₀), or cultivated P. acutifolius var. latifolius Serowi PI 319443 (A₉), were the majority phenotypes when P. acutifolius was the cytoplasmic parent. Continuing through the second cycle of CBC, that is the second backcross with each of the parent species or the fourth backcross, began an amelioration of the apparent cytoplasmic effect on gene expression, as reciprocal pedigrees became more alike, usually with intermediate expression of parental traits or the appearance of new traits. The large seed size of V₁ was recovered in hybrids with P. acutifolius cytoplasm and the kidney shape of V₁ became rare in hybrids with P. vulgaris cytoplasm. Although the tepary-bean parents represented two subspecies and both cultivated and wild P. acutifolius, the three sets of reciprocal-hybrid pedigrees with P. vulgaris Red Cloud are surprisingly similar. It may be that the exotic parent used to develop a CBC pedigree should be selected more for combining ability in the interspecific cross than for specific economic traits. While the number of generations (six or more) required to produce fertile, intermediate CBC hybrids (that did not require embryo rescue) may preclude routine use of this method by practical plant breeders, the crossability of advanced hybrids with both parental species and the amount of variability apparent in advanced-hybrids progenies suggests that CBC would be valuable for maintaining exotic germplasm in immediately useful forms.     

Performance of pearl millet isonuclear hybrids involving different cytoplasmic male-sterility systems

The performance of pearl millet hybrids involving four sources of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), including the most-exploited A₁ source, was compared to evaluate the effects of cytoplasm on grain yield. The mean grain yield of hybrids possessing A₂, A₃ and A₄ cytoplasms was either similar to or significantly higher than that of their counterpart hybrids with A₁ cytoplasm. Hybrids based on A₃ and A₄ cytoplasms produced, on average, 8% more grain compared with those based on A₁ cytoplasm. This suggested that these CMS sources could be used as alternatives to A₁ cytoplasm to widen the cytoplasmic base of hybrids. The results indicated that most of the variation in hybrids was accounted for by pollinator and cytoplasm × pollinator interactions, suggesting the use of genetically diverse pollinators in pearl millet hybrid breeding.     

Chromosomal location of fertility restoring genes for ‘wild abortive’ cytoplasmic male sterility using primary trisomics in rice

Summary Identification and location of fertility restoring genes facilitates their deployment in a hybrid breeding program involving cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) system. The study aimed to locate fertility restorer genes of CMSWA system on specific chromosomes of rice using primary trisomics of IR36 (restorer), CMS (IR58025A) and maintainer (IR58025B) lines. Primary trisomic series (Triplo 1 to 12) was crossed as maternal parent with the maintainer line IR58025B. The selected trisomic and disomic F₁ plants were testcrossed as male parents with the CMS line IR58025A. Plants in testcross families derived from disomic F₁ plants (Group I crosses) were all diploid; however, in the testcross families derived from trisomic F₁ plants (Group II crosses), some trisomic plants were observed. Diploid plants in all testcross families were analyzed for pollen fertility using 1% IKI stain. All testeross families from Group I crosses segregated in the ratio of 2 fertile: 1 partially fertile+partially sterile: 1 sterile plants indicating that fertility restoration was controlled by two independent dominant genes: one of the genes was stronger than the other. Testcross families from Group II crosses segregated in 2 fertile: 1 partially fertile+ partially sterile: 1 sterile plants in crosses involving Triplo 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 and 12, but families involving triplo 7 and triplo 10 showed significantly higher X² values, indicating that the two fertility restorer genes were located on chromosome 7 and 10. Stronger restorer gene (Rf-WA-1) was located on chromosome 7 and weaker restorer gene (Rf-WA-2) was located on chromosome 10. These findings should facilitate tagging of these genes with molecular markers with the ultimate aim to practice marker-aided selection for fertility restoration ability.     

Restriction analysis of the mitochondrial DNA of male-sterile and maintainer lines of pearl millet, Pennisetum americanum L.

Mitochondrial DNA from two pairs of cytoplasmic male-sterile (cms) and maintainer lines of pearl millet was investigated by restriction-enzyme analysis and Southern-blot hybridization using three mitochondrial gene probes. Each pair of male-sterile and maintainer lines was of a different nuclear origin. The objective was to distinguish differences in the DNA base-sequence organization of the mitochondrial genomes of cms and maintainer lines from the two sources. Restriction-enzyme analysis revealed differences between the different cms and maintainer lines. Southern-blot hybridization experiments using cloned mitochondrial gene probes further distinguished differences between different lines. It is expected that the restriction-fragment-length polymorphisms revealed in the Southern-blot-hybridization experiments will be useful in distinguishing and classifying cms and maintainer lines obtained from different nuclear backgrounds.     

Genetics of fertility restoration of ‘Wild Abortive’ cytoplasmic male sterility in rice,Oryza sativa L.

Summary Genetics of fertility restoration in six varieties and breeding lines of rice was studied in Wild Abortive cytoplasmic genetic male sterility system using cytoplasmic male sterile lines V 20 A and IR 54752 A. Fertility evaluation of the plants in F₂ and testcross populations of the crosses of V 20 A with PR 103, PR 106 and PAU 502-94-1, and IR 54752 A with PAU 1124-36-1 and PAU 1126-1-1 revealed that fertility restoration in PR 103, PR 106, PAU 502-94-1, PAU 1124-36-1 and PAU 1126-1-1 was controlled by two independently segregating dominant genes. The two genes appeared to have additive effects; one of them being stronger than the other in imparting fertility restoration. Data on spikelet fertility of the plants in F₂ and testcross populations of V 20 A/UPR 82-1-1 cross showed that fertility restoration in UPR 82-1-1 was controlled by two independently segregating dominant genes which exhibited recessive epistatic interaction.

Identification of the Putative Cytoplasmic Donor of a CMS System in Brassica juncea

Chloroplast (cp) and mitochondrial (mt) DNA restriction profiles of a cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) line of Brassica juncea and its maintainer line were compared and found to be markedly different. Comparison of cpDNA restriction profiles of fifty different species of genus Brassica and some allied genera showed that the cpDNA profiles of CMS lines were similar to that of B. tournefortii for twenty different restriction endonucleases. This CMS system is thus not of spontaneous origin as reported earlier, but is alloplasmic in nature. Comparison of restriction profiles of mtDNA of B. tournefortii and CMS lines revealed some differences which might either be due to changes in DNA pattern during the transfer, or, due to the cytoplasm coming from a B. tournefortii line different from the one used in this study.
