Identification of molecular markers associated with sugar-related traits in a <Emphasis Type="Italic">Saccharum</Emphasis> interspecific cross

The cultivated sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids, 2n = 100–130) is one crop for which interspecific hybridization involving wild germplasm has provided a major breakthrough in its improvement. Few clones were used in the initial hybridization event leading to a narrow genetic base for continued cultivar development. Molecular breeding would facilitate the identification and introgression of novel alleles/genes from the wild germplasm into cultivated sugarcane. We report the identification of molecular markers associated with sugar-related traits using an F₁ population derived from a cross between S. officinarum ‘Louisiana Striped’ × S. spontaneum ‘SES 147B’, the two major progenitor species of cultivated sugarcane. Genetic linkage maps of the S. officinarum and S. spontaneum parents were produced using the AFLP, SRAP and TRAP molecular marker techniques. The mapping population was evaluated for sugar-related traits namely, Brix (B) and pol (P) at the early (E) and late (L) plant growing season in the plant cane (04) and first ratoon (05) crops (04EB, 04LB, 04LP, 05EB and 05EP). For S. officinarum, combined across all the traits, a total of 30 putative QTLs was observed with LOD scores ranging from 2.51 to 7.48. The phenotypic variation (adj. R²) explained by all QTLs per trait ranged from 22.1% (04LP) to 48.4% (04EB). For S. spontaneum, a total of 11 putative QTLs was observed with LOD scores ranging from 2.62 to 4.70 and adj. R² ranging from 9.3% (04LP) to 43.0% (04LB). Nine digenic interactions (iQTL) were observed in S. officinarum whereas only three were observed in S. spontaneum. About half of the QTLs contributed by both progenitor species were associated with effects on the trait that was contrary to expectations based on the phenotype of the parent contributing the allele. Quantitative trait loci and their associated effects were consistent across crop-years and growing seasons with very few QTLs being unique to the early season. When the data were reanalyzed using the non-parametric discriminant analysis (DA) approach, significant marker-trait associations were detected for markers that were either identical to or in the vicinity of markers previously identified using the traditional QTL approach. Discriminant analysis also pointed to previously unidentified markers some of which remained unlinked on the map. These preliminary results suggest that DA could be used as a complementary approach to traditional QTL analysis in a crop like sugarcane for which saturated linkage maps are unavailable or difficult to obtain.     

利用Mudgo/武育粳3号F2群体分析水稻抗灰飞虱QTL

灰飞虱是我国水稻生产上的重要害虫。Mudgo是一个高抗灰飞虱的籼稻品种,对灰飞虱具有强的排驱性和抗生性抗性。利用Mudgo/武育粳3号F₂群体,构建了含有177个单株的F₂群体的遗传连锁图谱。该连锁图包含104个SSR标记和3个Indel标记,覆盖整个水稻基因组1 409.9 cM,每两个标记之间的平均距离为13.2 cM。采用改进的苗期集团筛选法对177个F_2:3家系进行了抗性鉴定,通过Windows QTL Cartographer 2.5进行复合区间作图分析,在第2、3、12染色体上分别检测到抗灰飞虱QTL Qsbph2b、Qsbph3d和Qsbph12a,分别位于标记RM5791~RM29、RM3199~RM5442和I12-17~RM333 1之间,单个LOD值分别为3.25、3.11和6.82,贡献率分别为17.3%、15.6%和35.8%,各QTL增强抗性的等位基因效应均来自Mudgo。其中Qsbph12a与标记RM3331和I12-17紧密连锁。结合表型鉴定的结果,Qsbph12a应为抗灰飞虱主效QTL,与该位点紧密连锁的标记可用于抗灰飞虱快速选择辅助育种。     

水稻染色体片段代换系对氮、磷胁迫反应差异及其QTL分析

利用来源于9311(籼稻)与日本晴(粳稻)杂交后代衍生的遗传背景为9311的染色体片段代换系群体,分析其在大田正常、低氮和低磷条件下的单株有效穗和单株产量的差异。结果表明,低磷、低氮胁迫对单株有效穗和单株产量影响较大。代换系对低磷和低氮的反应存在明显差异。在低氮(磷)水平下共检测到26个单株有效穗和单株产量片段或QTL,以及12个相对单株有效穗和相对单株产量QTL。源于日本晴的等位基因均呈减效作用。低磷和低氮下共同检测到5个导入片段影响单株有效穗或单株产量。而大部分(约81%)QTL只在单胁迫处理下被检测到。表明水稻对磷胁迫和氮胁迫的反应既存在不同的遗传基础,也存在共同的遗传机制。     

Genetic analysis of resistance to flower bud thrips (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Megalurothrips sjostedti</Emphasis>) in cowpea (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Vigna unguiculata</Emphasis> [L.] Walp.)

Cowpea is an important legume in sub-Saharan Africa where its protein rich grains are consumed. Insect pests constitute a major constraint to cowpea production. Flower bud thrips (FTh) is the first major pest of cowpea at the reproductive stage and if not controlled with insecticides is capable of reducing grain yield significantly. Information on the inheritance of resistance to FTh is required to facilitate breeding of resistant cultivars. The genetics of resistance was studied in crosses of four cowpea lines. Maternal effect was implicated while frequency distributions of the F₂ and backcross generations suggest quantitative inheritance. Additive, dominance and epistatic gene effects made large contributions and since improved inbred lines are the desired product, selection should not be too severe in the early generations to allow for desirable gene recombination. This study suggested that some of the genes involved in the control of resistance to FTh are different in TVu1509 and Sanzi. Broad sense heritability ranged from 56% to 73%. Choice of maternal parent in a cross will be critical to the success of resistance breeding.     

基于GYT双标图对西北内陆棉区国审棉花品种的分类评价

西北内陆棉区是我国最重要的主产棉区,对该棉区历年国审棉花品种进行科学分类和综合评价有利于国审品种资源的合理利用和棉花生产效率的提升。本研究采用GYT双标图分析对2003—2019年期间西北内陆棉区37个国审棉花品种的产量与霜前花率、纤维长度、比强度、马克隆值、枯萎病指数和黄萎病指数等性状的组合水平进行了综合分析和品种分类评价。结果表明,西北内陆棉区37个国审棉花品种可划分为3个特征明显的品种类型。其中,I型品种包括新陆早13号、中棉所49、新陆早21号、巴13222、新46、天云0769、Z1112、新石K18、J206-5、新石K21、禾棉A9-9、创棉508、H33-1-4、金科20、新K28、创棉512和J8031等17个品种,是产量与其余性状组合协调最好的品种类型,在生产上推广应用价值最高。II型品种产量和纤维品质表现一般,抗病性差,在当前生产上应用价值有限。III型品种的抗枯萎病性表现最好,但在其余性状上表现略差,综合生产应用价值有限,也许可作为抗病亲本应用。同时,根据各品种的理想指数筛选出创棉512、J8031、新K28、H33-1-4、金科20、新陆早13号和创棉508等综合表现优良的品种,也鉴别出新陆棉1号、新陆早33号、创棉501号和新陆早51号等综合表现相对略差的品种。本研究采用的GYT双标图分析方法是基于“产量-性状”组合水平对品种进行综合评价和分类研究,产量-性状组合之间的相关关系更加简单,多数组合间表现显著正相关,更适用于品种的多性状直观选择和综合评价,通常比先前的GT双标图解释的变异比率高,双标图模型拟合度更好,结果更可靠。本研究采用GYT双标图分析方法对西北内陆棉区国审品种的分类研究揭示了该棉区国审棉花品种的分类特征和应用价值,为本区的国家棉花品种试验审定提供了借鉴,也为其他作物品种的类似研究提供了范例。     

Development and evaluation of pyramiding lines carrying early or late heading QTLs in the indica rice cultivar ‘IR64’

The heading date is an important trait for determining regional and climatic adaptability in rice. To expand the adaptability of the indica rice cultivar ‘IR64’, we pyramided multiple early or late heading quantitative trait locus (QTLs) in the ‘IR64’ genetic background by crossing previously developed near-isogenic lines (NILs) with a single QTL for early or late heading. The effects of pyramiding QTLs were observed in three different climatic zones of the Philippines, Madagascar, and Japan. The early heading pyramiding lines (PYLs) headed 6.2 to 12.8 days earlier than ‘IR64’ while the late heading PYLs headed 18.8 to 27.1 days later than ‘IR64’. The PYLs tended to produce low grain yield compared to ‘IR64’. The low yield was not improved by combining SPIKE, which is a QTL that increases the number of spikelets per panicle. Conversely, ‘IR64-PYL(7+10)’ carrying Hd5 and Hd1 headed earlier, produced more tillers, and more panicles per m² than ‘IR64’, and mitigated the yield decrease in early heading. These results suggest that the effects of pyramided QTLs on heading date were consistent across various environments and PYLs could be used to enhance the adaptation of ‘IR64’ in other rice growing environments.

Inheritance of agriculturally important traits in mango

Summary High heterozygosity on the one hand, and the inability to carry out successful hand pollinations on the other hand, have limited the amount of systematic work which has been done in mango breeding. In studying the inheritance of important horticultural traits we must first analyse the distribution of different traits in seedlings derived from open pollination. We studied correlations between these traits and assessed the contribution of the three female parents to that distribution.Although in general the trait distribution pattern is similar among the three progenies, some differences were noted. We also detected some correlations among various traits which might be useful for future breeding. It was concluded from both a chi-square test and an intraclass correlation coefficient that there is a specific female parent effect on both harvest season and fruit color; a smaller effect was found on fruit taste and size, and no effect of the female parent tree was detected on the distribution of both the juvenile period and fertility.
