Selection of Rice Lines Using SPGP Seedling Method for Direct Seeding

Abstract

Lodging is a major cause of yield loss in the rice production systems using direct seeding. In this study, several characteristics of 80 F₄ breeding lines and 10 check cultivars were examined in connection with lodging resistance to establish a technique suitable for screening a large number of lines efficiently for breeding rice for direct seeding. Experiments were conducted over a 2-year period in puddled wet-fields and in seed pack growth pouches (SPGP). Among the root parameters of SPGP seedlings, only root thickness had a significant positive correlation (r = 0.495**) with pushing resistance, which is the force to bend rice culm to a designated angle and is correlated with lodging resistance. The root thickness of SPGP seedlings was also positively correlated with root thickness in the field at 18 (r = 0.346**) and 30 (r = 0.512**) days after seeding. For selected lines and check cultivars, positive correlations were found between pushing resistance and culm thickness in the field (r = 0.809**), between pushing resistance and root thickness in SPGP (r = 0.694**). Culm length and panicle number were negatively correlated with pushing resistance (r=–0.454**, r=–0.563**, respectively). Among the characteristics related to lodging, root and culm thickness were higher in selected breeding lines than in check cultivars. Grain yield was positively correlated with panicle weight (r = 0.601**) and harvest index (r = 0.586**) but not with panicle number (r=–0.007ns). Thus the low-tillering, panicle-weight type plants with thick roots and culms seem to be suitable for direct seeding. Some promising lines and candidate parental lines for the next crossing cycle for direct seeding were identified.

利用PCR-RFLP等技术检测了湖北省黄梅县梅花星类群49头猪的ESR、FSHβ(影响产仔数)、TEF1(生长速度)、LPIN1、H-FABP(肌内脂肪含量),MC4R、CMYA1(背膘厚度)等7个候选基因的多态性.结果表明,梅花星猪类群中上述7个候选基因均有丰富的多态性,特别是肌内脂肪含量有利基因的基因频率较高,是其肉质优良的分子基础.其他性状相关基因的杂合子频率也较高,通过和已有的研究对比,初步分析梅花星猪类群受外来猪杂化程度严重,本研究为梅花星猪遗传资源的保护和利用提供了科学依据.     

基于角度指数的油菜叶片等效水厚度估算研究

叶片等效水厚度(EWT)是评估油菜生长状态的一个重要参数。为快速准确估算油菜叶片EWT,选择9个常用的植被水分指数(WI、PRI、NDVI、NDII、NDWI、MSI、PWI、GVMI、NDMI),在6个已有角度指数(β_SWIR1、SANI、SASI、ANIR、NANI、NASI)基础上,提出2种角度比值指数(SARI、NARI),并根据油菜叶片水吸收谷峰高光谱特征,提出基于水吸收谷1 450 nm和1 930 nm的8种改进型角度指数,利用以上25种角度指数估算不同施氮水平下苗期、蕾薹期以及不区分苗期、蕾薹期情况下的油菜叶片EWT。结果表明,苗期ANI₁₄₅₀、ASI₁₄₅₀、MSI、GVMI、NDII估算效果较好,R^2均达到0.81以上;蕾薹期ANI₁₉₃₀、ASI₁₉₃₀、NASI、SANI、GVMI、SARI效果最好,R^2均达到0.71以上;在不区分苗期、蕾薹期的情况下,改进型角度指数ANI₁₄₅₀、ASI₁₄₅₀效果最好,R^2均达到0.832,可以在不区分苗期、蕾薹期情况下对油菜叶片EWT进行估算,适用性更广。本研究提出的改进型角度指数不仅丰富了已有角度指数,且提高了其反演油菜叶片EWT的精度,为快速精确估计油菜叶片EWT提供了新的研究思路。

利用荚果厚度模拟大豆鼓粒进程的研究

大豆籽粒发育可分为鼓粒期和籽粒归圆期,探究无损伤检测鼓粒进程的指标对大豆相关研究具有重要意义。本研究以青鲜819-4、冀豆17、鲁96150和V94-3971为试验材料,通过分期播种、连续测定标记花荚的荚果厚度,分期收获同日标记的大豆籽粒并进行发芽率测定,研究大豆鼓粒期荚果厚度变化。结果表明:1)鼓粒期鲜荚皮厚度基本保持恒定,因此荚果厚度可用于度量籽粒厚度的变化。荚果厚度(y)与开花后日数(x)的关系可以用二次函数(y=ax2+bx+c)进行有效模拟。利用模拟函数可以对大豆鼓粒始期、最大荚果厚度出现期、鼓粒持续期以及平均鼓粒速率等进行有效预测。荚果最大厚度可用作判定大豆籽粒开始具备发芽能力的外观指标。2)荚果厚度变化受材料特性和外界环境的共同影响。同一材料不同时期标记的花荚,荚果厚度增速趋势可能有差异,因此在大豆籽粒灌浆特性研究中,同日标记花荚是籽粒灌浆特性研究中一项必要的控制措施。3)不同材料鼓粒特性存在差异,选择鼓粒启动早、鼓粒速度快的大豆品种是可行的。荚果厚度有望成为研究大豆灌浆特性和适时早收的无损伤选择指标。     

Genetic and environmental factors affecting ultrasound measures of longissimus muscle area and backfat thickness in Nelore cattle

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the genetic and environmental factors affecting records of longissimus muscle area (LMA) and backfat thickness (BF) obtained between the 12th and 13th ribs, and rump fat thickness (RF) between the hook and pin bones, measured by real-time ultrasound in Nelore cattle. Also, weight records of 22,778 animals born from 1998 to 2003, in ten farms across six Brazilian states were used. Carcass traits as measured by ultrasound of the live animal were recorded from 2002 to 2004 in 2590 males and females with ages varying from 450 to 599 days. Fixed models including farm, year and season of birth, sex and type of feed effects, and the covariates age of dam (AOD) and age of animal at measurement were used to study the effect of environmental factors on these traits. The genetic parameters for LMA, BF and RF were estimated with two and three-trait animal models with 120-day weights using a restricted maximum likelihood method. All environmental effects significantly affected carcass traits, with the exception of year of birth for BF and RF and AOD for LMA. The heritability estimates for LMA, BF and RF were 0.35, 0.51 and 0.39, respectively. Standard errors obtained in one-trait analyses were from 0.07 to 0.09. Genetic correlation estimates between LMA and the two traits of subcutaneous fat were low (close to zero) and 0.74 between BF and RF, indicating that the selection for LMA should not cause antagonism in the genetic improvement of subcutaneous fat measured by real-time ultrasound.
