Revival of a well-known, but ignored correction term for χ2 in linkage analysis with small samples

The ‘classical’χ² test is routinely applied in linkage analysis. The values customarily used, however, are only approximations since continuous χ² terms are used instead of discrete multinomial terms. This error becomes increasingly important as the sample becomes small. In this note, a well-known correction term for improvement of this approximation is revived and numerically calculated for some interesting cases from linkage studies.     

Genetics of five hairy phenotypes and a linkage group of Pennisetum americanum

Summary In pearl millet hairy lamina, hairy sheath and hairy stem were inherited as monofactorial recessives while hairy leaf margin and hairy node were inherited as monogenic dominant traits. The gene for hairy lamina hl showed independent assortment from the gene for hairy node, Hn, and showed linkage with the genes hst (hairy stem), hs (hairy sheath) and Hm (hairy leaf margin). Furthermore, Hl was observed to have an epistatic effect on the expression of hs. The percentages of recombination between the gene pairs hl-hst, hl-hs and hl-Hm were 0.0, 8.30±0.44 and 19.81±0.98 respectively. Thus the genes hl-hst-hs Hm form one linkage group.

榆林地区动物间鼠疫风险调查分析

鼠疫是鼠疫耶尔森菌借鼠蚤传播为主的甲类传染病,系广泛流行于野生啮齿类动物间的一种自然疫源性疾病,易感动物主要为啮齿动物,人类一旦感染对其生命健康存在极大的危害。榆林地区虽然目前未发生动物间鼠疫疫情流行,但与榆林地区接壤的内蒙、宁夏等地近年来相继报道出现动物间鼠疫疫情传播情况。本文通过对鼠疫的流行特点和传播途径进行论述,对榆林地区目前面临的形势及风险进行研判,并进一步对本地人间鼠疫防控工作进行深入调查研究,为逐步建立系统性的动物间鼠疫监测工作提供科学依据。

为了促进西瓜饱和遗传图谱的构建、重要农艺性状的QTL分析以及以图谱为基础的克隆,利用可溶性固形物含量高、皮薄、感枯萎病的栽培西瓜自交系97103和可溶性固形物含量低、皮厚、抗病的野生西瓜种质P1296341为亲本,获得F8的重组自交系群体,通过16个SSR引物对和5个ISSR引物对该群体进行扩增,建立了一个包括38个SSR标记和10个ISSR标记组成的分子图谱,该图谱总长558．1cM,平均图距为11．9cM。     

Segregation of non‐target‐site resistance to herbicides in multiple‐resistant Alopecurus myosuroides plants

Non‐target‐site resistance (NTSR) comprises a set of mechanisms conferring resistance to multiple modes of action. Investigation of the number of loci involved in NTSR will aid in the understanding of these resistance mechanisms. Therefore, six different multiple herbicide‐resistant Alopecurus myosuroides plants with different herbicide history were crossed in two generations with a susceptible wild type. Seeds from the backcrossing generation were studied for their segregation rate for resistance to five herbicides with four different modes of action (HRAC groups C₂, A, B and K₃). Taking into account that NTSR is a set of quantitative traits, the numbers of loci controlling NTSR were estimated using a normal mixture model fitted by the NLMIXED procedure of SAS. Each herbicide was controlled by a different number of loci comparing the six plants. In most of the cases, chlorotoluron resistance was controlled by one locus, whereas resistance to fenoxaprop‐P‐ethyl needed one or two loci. Resistance to pinoxaden was in all plants conferred by two loci. Cross‐resistance of fenoxaprop‐P‐ethyl and pinoxaden was found in all backcrossings, indicating that at least one of the two loci is responsible for both resistances. Resistance to mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron was conferred by a minimum of two loci. Results indicated that a minimum of five different loci can be involved in a multiple NTSR plant. Furthermore, the plant‐specific accumulation of NTSR loci was demonstrated. Such behaviour should be taken into account when evaluating the development and further spread of herbicide resistance.
