No information is available on the effects of different biomass yield environments on selection efficiency in switchgrass
(Panicum virgatum L.) breeding improvement. This study was conducted to assess the effects of high- and low-biomass yield environments (HYE
and LYE, respectively) on recurrent selection for general combining ability (RSGCA) in a lowland population of switchgrass
(NL-94). The top 14 of 65 NL-94 C0 parent plants were selected based on biomass yield of half-sib (HS) progeny tested for one post-establishment year under HYE
and LYE conditions. Nine of the 14 C0 parent plants were the same based on HS performance under HYE and LYE. Selected plants were intercrossed to produce NL-94
HYE and NL-94 LYE C1 populations. One hundred and twenty-five HS C1 progeny families (60 NL-94 HYE and 65 NL-94 LYE) were evaluated for biomass yield for 3 years (2002–2004) under HYE and LYE
conditions. The HYE produced about 2.5 times higher biomass yields than the LYE in both C0 and C1 HS progeny tests. Estimated additive genetic variance and predicted gains from selection (ΔG) were high in the C1 populations indicating that RSGCA should achieve higher biomass yields. Mean biomass yields of C1 HS families originating from the LYE protocol were significantly higher than those of families originating from the HYE protocol
in both HYE and LYE performance tests, suggesting greater selection response under LYE in the C0 population. The estimates of narrow-sense heritability (
) and ΔG from the C1 populations indicate that positive response to selection for biomass yield is possible in subsequent cycles of selection
under either HYE or LYE, with a possible small advantage for HYE. 相似文献

Tight junctions (TJs) in inter-Sertoli junctional areas and epididymal epithelia build up the blood–testis barrier (BTB) and the blood–epididymal barrier (BEB), respectively. In this study, the expression of occludin, an integral member of the TJs, was examined in testis and different regions of epididymis of Lepus sinensis coreanus , an Korean wild rabbit species. In testis, intense occludin immunoreactivity was found in the basally located inter-Sertoli junctional area together with diffused immunoreactivity of occludin in the cytoplasm of Sertoli cells. It can be suggested that occludin is one of the robust elements of BTB in seminiferous tubules of rabbit testis. In proximal and distal caput epididymis, occludin immunoreactivity was found in the lateral as well as apical contacts of epithelial cells. In corpus epididymis, intense occludin immunoreactivity was found in the basolateral as well as apical contacts of epithelial cells together with cytoplasmic signal. In cauda epididymis, occludin immunoreactivity in luminal epithelia was relatively strong but largely found in the cytoplasm. This suggests that intriguing regulatory mechanisms differentially recruit occludin to the TJ in the different regions of epididymal epithelia. The differences in the subcellular localization as well as expression levels of occludin among the epididymal segments may reflect differential paracellular permeability of epithelia along the epididymal tubules and be correlated with sperm maturation in rabbit. In Western blot, a major form of occludin was MW 62 kDa together with small fragments of MW 34–39 kDa in testis and epididymis, suggesting the peptide cleavage of occludin. This is the first report on the molecular nature of TJs in a wild rabbit testis and epididymis. 相似文献

No information is available on the efficacy of various nonparametric stability parameters when compared with GGE biplot methodology
in assessing the stability of dry matter yield in bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L. Pers.) when a small number of genotypes is assayed. This study was conducted to compare the results of four nonparametric
stability parameters developed by Huehn and Nassar (
, , , ), Kang’s rank-sum method and the GGE biplot method for five genotypes over 11 location–year environments at Oklahoma State
University experiment stations. Results from analysis of variance procedures indicated highly significant levels of genotype-by-environment
interaction (P < 0.01), which further indicated the need for stability analysis measures to be conducted. Results of the stability analysis
indicated agreement among , , Kang’s rank-sum method, and the biplot method for the stability rankings of the genotypes and between these methods and
the overall yield rankings of the genotypes. The and statistics were not in agreement with each other or any of the previously mentioned methods concerning the stability rankings
of the genotypes. From examination of the formulae for the nonparametric statistics it was concluded that, when a small number
of genotypes is assayed, the , , and statistics have the potential to be extremely sensitive and to produce misleading results. It was further concluded that
for assessment of small numbers of genotypes the GGE biplot stability analysis method, augmented with Kang’s rank-sum method,
would produce the most reliable estimates of genotype stability. 相似文献
