根际加温对无土栽培非洲菊冬季产花的影响

 试验结果表明, 非洲菊7 个切花品种冬季无土栽培根际加温可促进其产花。根温为20 ℃时显著提高了切花的产量与质量, 单株产量、花茎长、茎粗、花重较对照分别提高了71. 34 %、19. 14 %、8. 5 %、23. 72 % , 但对花径的增大作用不显著。根温为15 ℃时可显著提高切花产量, 较对照切花增产33. 21 %; 对花茎长、茎粗生长也有促进作用, 但对花径、花重无显著影响。根际加温对不同品种增加产量与提高质量效果不同, 根际加温至20 ℃时, 品种‘日’、‘签证’与‘莫尔’产量较高, 质量优良: 冬季84 d 产量可达9. 90、9. 56 与9. 30 支/株, 花径为10. 21、9. 92 与10. 05 cm , 花茎长为55. 10、53. 61 与54. 82 cm , 茎粗为0. 65、0. 63与0. 61 cm , 花重为21. 52、22. 68 与22. 50 g。     

影响非洲菊离体培养器官分化的因素

采用非洲菊的 4个不同切花品种 ,主要通过对花托外植体进行离体培养 ,从基因型、激素组合、基本培养基、蔗糖质量浓度等方面研究了非洲菊器官形成的规律。结果表明 :幼小的花托是非洲菊最适宜培养的外植体。虽然品种之间存在着差异 ,但在 2个月内均能从愈伤组织上直接产生不定芽。芽的产生以IAA 0 1mg/L及BA 10mg/L为最佳激素配比 ,而基本培养基诱导芽分化的效果是B5>1/ 2MS >MS ,1%蔗糖较之高质量分数蔗糖更有利于芽的分化。

Methods for selecting flower quality based on consumer evaluation

Summary The quality ranking of a sample of Gerbera cut-flowers varies greatly from one person to another. Further, there are significant differences between the rankings assigned by a panel of trained horticulturalists and a panel sampled from the general public. Therefore, the selection of a panel to evaluate the flower quality component of a breeding program is very important to the outcome. If the purpose of a program is to breed (those) flowers preferred by the general public then the selection of flowers should be done by a panel sampled from the general public. The prediction of consumer preferences by multiple linear regression techniques using eleven flower characters was not successful. Much greater predictive value was obtained by measuring the perceived information content of flowers. This indicates that flower characteristics which increase flower complexity may be preferred. Implications to the practical breeding program are discussed.     

Inheritance of flower colour and flavonoid pigments in Gerbera

The flower colour of Gerbera, an important ornamental cut flower, is derived from carotenoids and flavonoids. The knowledge of enzymological and genetic control of flavonoid biosynthesis is still incomplete. The present paper summarizes the results obtained at our institute between 1981 and 1993. The material for the investigation of phenotypic segregation and segregation of flavonoids after chromatographic analysis came from 408 progenies of controlled crosses. Phenotypic segregation analysis showed acyanic genotypes to be homozygous recessive and recessive epistatic over cyanic genotypes, respectively. This was confirmed by the existence of two loci controlling steps in biosynthesis (fht, dfr or ans) showing recessive mutants and complementary gene action after crosses. Flavone formation is effected by one dominant allele (fns⁺); dominant and recessive genotypes are now available. Regarding anthocyanidin inheritance, an unusual epistasis of 4′-hydroxylation (pelargonidin formation) over 3′,4′-hydroxylation (cyanidin formation) was observed. Final proof of the postulated gene actions will come from enzymological and molecular biological investigations of the chemogenetically defined Gerbera genotypes now available.     

Use of soil solarization to control root rots in gerberas (Gerbera jamesonii)

Summary An investigation was conducted during the summer months of 1986–1987 and 1987–1988 in Western Australia to evaluate the effect of soil solarization on the control of root rot of gerbera an also on the microbial and nutrient status of the soil. Infested soil cores were sampled from a site where root-rot was a severe problem and were removed to a non-infested site where they were subjected to soil solarization or fumigation. Soil solarization resulted in reduced root rot (root disease index 28.6%) in comparison to the untreated control (52.0%) 8 months after planting. Plants in the fumigated plots had 15.8% less disease than those in solarized plots. Solarization increased the total numbers of bacteria and actinomycetes, and the proportion of bacteria and fungi antogonistic to Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani and Rhizoctonia solani. The proportion of actinomycetes antagonistic to these fungi, however, did not differ between solarized and control soil treatments. There was a significant reduction in disease in plants grown in infested fumigated soil to which a 10% concentration of solarized soil had been added, suggesting the development of microbial suppression in solarized soil. Phytophthora cryptogea was eradicated to 30 cm by solarization as well as by fumigation. Solarization eliminated R. solani but not F. oxysporum to a soil depth of 10 cm. Solarization increased the levels of NO _n3 ^– -N and NH₄ ⁺-N in soil, but did not affect the concentrations of PO₄ ^3–, K⁺, Fe²⁺, organic C and pH. Yield (as number of flowers per plant) was increased by soil solarization and by fumigation.Increased yields and decreased disease severity in the solarized plots could have been caused by (1) a reduction in the infectivity of the infested soils, (2) an increase in the suppressiveness of the soil, and (3) an increased available of plant nutrients.

不同栽培基质对非洲菊组培幼苗移栽成活率和生长的影响

以非洲菊组培试管苗为试材。蛭石、珍珠岩、炭化稻壳、草炭土以不同的比例配成7种栽培基质,分别是A1(蛭石)、A2(珍珠岩)、A3(炭化稻壳)、A4(草炭土)、A5(1/2蛭石 1/2珍珠岩)、A6(1/2蛭石 1/2草炭土)、A7(1/3珍珠岩 2/3草炭土),进行非洲菊试管苗移栽基质的筛选试验。定期观测成活率、长势、平均株高及生长指标,地上部和地下部鲜重、干重,分析比较7种基质配方中对非洲菊试管苗移栽质量的影响。结果表明,非洲菊试管苗移栽基质以在A4(草炭土)、A7(1/3珍珠岩 2/3草炭土)的基质中生长较好最佳,其次,为A3(炭化稻壳)基质,但A3(炭化稻壳)成本较低,且较容易获得。     

非洲菊品种间杂交主要观赏性状在F1代的遗传表现

 以14个切花非洲菊品种配制成16个杂交组合，研究了切花的6个观赏性状在F₁代的遗传表现。结果发现：(1) 所有观赏性状在F₁代都发生了广泛分离，这意味着无性繁殖使亲本品种保持着高度的杂合性；(2) 花色、瓣型两个质量性状表现为倾母性遗传，绿心表现为隐性遗传；(3) 花径、花梗长、舌状花瓣数3个性状在F₁代总体上呈明显衰退，但因变异幅度大，仍有超亲个体存在。     

Effect of cold cathode fluorescent lamps on growth of Gerbera jamesonii plantlets in vitro

The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) on the growth of Gerbera jamesonii var. ‘Rui Kou’ plantlets in vitro in six different light quality ratios: 100% red CCFL (R), 80% R + 20% blue CCFL (B), 70% R + 30% B, 60% R + 40% B, 100% B and white CCFLs (W). Control radiation was provided by conventional heat-generating plant growth fluorescent lamps (PGFLs). Plantlets under CCFLs showed better plantlet height, SPAD value (i.e., leaf chlorophyll content) and root activity (as assessed by root dehydrogenase activity) than those growing under PGFLs while all other growth parameters were comparable with plants under conventional lighting systems.
