Studies were carried out to optimize production of nucleopolyhedrovirus of American bollworm,Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), by treating larvae individually with an inoculum dose that allowed maximal larval growth and also gave the highest
occlusion bodies (OB) yield/larva. The maximum virus yield of 12.2x 109 OB/larva was obtained when 6-day-old larvae were fed individually with a dose of 1 x 103 OB. Topical spiracular treatment of larvae as old as 8 days with 10 μ of 2x 107 OB ml-1 gave the highest yield, of 15.2x 109 OB from 13-day-old larvae, of 12.8x 108 OB from prepupae and of 1.49x 108 OB from pupae at the time of their death. These studies showed that dietary inoculum is the best route for 6-day-old larvae
and topical spiracular treatment is the best for 8-day-old larvae. 相似文献

Citrus indica and C. macroptera are the wild endangered species of Citrus occurring in northeastern India. Surveys were undertaken in this region for ascertaining distribution, studying variability
and for collection of germplasm of these two species. C. indica, an endemic species of this region, was collected from the Citrus Gene Sanctuary located in buffer zone of Nokrek Biosphere
Reserve in the Garo hills of Meghalaya. In addition, a putative natural hybrid of C. indica and C. limon was collected for the first time from the south Garo hills. C. macroptera had much wider distribution and was collected from Mizoram and Meghalaya states. In Jantia hills of Meghalaya, natural populations
of this species are in a highly threatened state. The two species were unevenly distributed all over the explored territory.
Morphological characterization of leaves, fruits and seeds indicated the presence of sizable variability within collected
accessions of these two Citrus species. Indigenous technical knowledge gathered on the use and socio-economic importance indicated commercial potential
for these two species in northeastern India. However, lack of cultivation of these species and clearing of forest cover at
an alarming rate has led to an urgent need to adopt complementary conservation strategies to safeguard these species and to
ensure their availability for future utilization. A major emphasis on developing methods for their propagation, multiplication
and regeneration in in situ and ex situ conditions is required. 相似文献

Eremostachys superba Royle ex Benth. (Lamiaceae) has undergone a severe decline in population size since its discovery in the North-western Himalayas
in late 19th century. One hundred and seventy-two plants from six populations in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Jammu
& Kashmir, located between 0.45 km and 455.72 km apart from each other were evaluated for RAPD polymorphism. Sixteen random
primers generated 92 bands overall, 77 of which were polymorphic. Shannon’s index of genetic diversity within populations
(H
o) ranged between 0.305 and 0.421; the average within-population diversity (H
pop) was 0.389; and the total species diversity (H
sp) was 0.478. The population from Mohand (representing the type locality) had the fewest plants, at 18, and was genetically
the most depauperate. Among the other populations, ranging in size between 52 and 1,022 individuals, no relation between population
size and genetic diversity was evident. It is suggested that these six populations represent relics of a larger, extended
population, in which the presence of perennating rootstocks has helped preserve historic patterns of genetic diversity. AMOVA
revealed that 83.01% of the variation exists within populations, which was consistent with earlier studies on the reproductive
biology of E. superba, which indicated this species is predominantly allogamous. FST distances between all populations were significant, indicating
geographic differentiation despite some of them being closely separated. Habitat restoration and protection from indiscriminate
harvesting are proposed as primary strategies for conserving E. superba. Rejuvenation of the Mohand population through intrapopulation crossing between plants bearing diverse molecular phenotypes
is also suggested. 相似文献

Feeding and casting activity of Amynthas alexandri fed on corn, wheat leaves, and mixed grasses were monitored in laboratory cultures. Casts were produced on the surface and sides of the containers. Food consumption varied from 36.5 to 69 mg g–1 live worm day–1. Cast production ranged from 3.95 to 5.9 mg g–1 live worm day–1. The C:N ratio in casts in laboratory cultures (11.17) and in field samples (8.84) was consistently lower than the corresponding ratio in the parent soil (13.19 and 10.54, respectively). This was probably due to mineralization of plant-derived organic material during passage through earthworms with consequent low C:N ratios. 相似文献

The taxonomy and phylogeny of Indian Citrus is revisited using PCR-RFLP of the trnD-trnT and rbcL-ORF 106 regions as well as sequence data analysis of the trnL-trnF intergenic spacer region of cpDNA. The study was based on 50 accessions of Citrus genotypes, collected from wild, semi-wild and domesticated stocks. Of the 13 restriction enzymes (RE) used for restriction digestion of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplicons, four (Hinf I, Msp I, Alu I, Hae III) generated 47 restriction fragments, of which 24 (51%) were polymorphic. PCR-RFLP data showed a genetic distance ranging from 0 to 0.79 among 50 accessions of Citrus, and a cluster analysis, based on Neighbor-Joining (NJ) method, placed all the accessions in eight major clusters. Analysis of trnL-trnF sequences from 23 representative accessions of Citrus showed a pair-wise sequence divergence rate in the range of 0–0.064. NJ, minimum evolution (ME) and maximum parsimony (MP) analyses of trnL-trnF sequences produced phylogenetic trees, which placed all the 23 accessions in five clusters. PCR-RFLP analysis resulted in a well resolved phylogenetic tree with branches supported by moderate to high bootstrap values, while the trnL-trnF sequence-based trees showed only moderate to low bootstrap support for the internal tree branches, indicating uncertain origin of some Citrus genotypes. This study shows that the trnL-trnF spacer sequence data can detect genetic variation in Indian Citrus genotypes, but the utility of the data in inferring phylogeny at intra and inter-specific levels is limited probably by factors such as hybridization, bud mutations, apomixis and polyploidy. However, PCR-RFLP and trnL-trnF data supported the recognition of C. maxima, C. medica, and C. reticulata as the basal species of edible Citrus. 相似文献

The effects of different solvent systems (methanol, ethanol, acetone, and their 50% aqueous concentrations) and extraction procedures (microwave, ultrasound, Soxhlet and maceration) on the antioxidant activity of aerial parts of Potentilla atrosanguinea were investigated by three different bioassays: 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS), 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assays and ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP). The 50% aqueous ethanol extracts exhibited strong antioxidant activity measured in terms of Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) [(54.34 to 122.96, 29.82 to 101.22 and 13.64 to 41.43) mg of Trolox/g] with ABTS (*+), DPPH (*) and FRAP assays, respectively. In general, TEAC of Soxhlet extracts was found to be 1.8 and 3 times higher than ultrasound and maceration but slightly (1.2 times) higher than microwave. A positive correlation (r(2) = 0.931 to 0.982) was observed between total polyphenol (TPC) and total flavonoid (TFC) contents which ranged between 26.7 to 30.7 mg/g gallic acid equivalent and 16.8 to 20.8 mg/g quercetin equivalent respectively, with antioxidant activity. In addition, some of its bioactive phenolic constituents which contribute largely toward antioxidant potential such as chlorogenic acid, catechin, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid and quercetin were also quantified in different extracts by RP-HPLC. 相似文献

SummaryIn order to understand the genetics of resistance to black rot disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) (Pammel) Dowson in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.) and to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers that segregate with the resistance genes, susceptible (‘Pusa Himjyoti’, female parent) and resistant (‘BR-161’, pollen parent) plants were crossed. Six generations of plants (30 P1, 30 P2,30 F1, 120 F2, 90 B1, and 90 B2) were evaluated for the presence or absence of black rot disease in a randomised block design with three replications. The pattern of segregation of resistance was tested by the χ2 test at the 5% level of significance. All F1 progeny plants were resistant, and the segregation of resistant and susceptible plants in the F2 and two backcross generations (B1 and B2) showed that a single dominant gene caused resistance to the black rot pathogen in ‘BR-161’. Three polymorphic RAPD markers (OPO-04833, OPAW-202538, and OPG-25625) were found by bulk segregant analysis, which produced unique amplicons 833 bp, 2,538 bp, and 625 bp in length, respectively. These markers were associated in coupling phase to the resistance allele. Best fit ratios of 3:1 (resistant:susceptible) in the F2 plants with the three RAPD markers, suggested that the markers were linked to the single gene controlling black rot resistance. These markers will be useful to identify more closely-linked markers and to develop black rot-resistant hybrid cauliflower varieties. 相似文献

Northeast India is rich in Citrus genetic diversity representing several wild and cultivated species. Besides commercially cultivated species, several wild, semi-wild and domesticated species namely Citrus indica, C. macroptera, C. ichangensis, C. latipes, C. megaloxycarpa and C. assamensis are found to grow in Northeast India. These species have great potential in improvement of Indian Citrus industry being source of genes for combating biotic and abiotic stresses. The natural diversity of these genetic resources is shrinking at alarming rate due to large scale deforestation, shifting cultivation practiced in these areas and climate change scenario in this important hotspot of biodiversity. Socio-economic importance of each species have been studied during surveys and interesting domestication trends were observed based on their cultural and economic significance, which led to “in situ on farm” conservation of C. indica, C. macroptera and threat to C. megaloxycarpa and C. ichangensis. Consequently, genetic resources of most of these species are facing severe threat of extinction necessitating policy interventions and adoption of dynamic conservation and management strategies. Species specific conservation strategy especially through “in situ on farm” conservation has been proposed with suitable sites in Northeastern Indian states based on population structure and suitability of habitat. Farmers’ support through “The Biological Diversity Act, 2002” and “The Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Act, 2001” of India would bring the required impact on management of these complex genetic resources of Citrus. In the present study, we have documented the current status, socio-economic potential, domestication trends and associated traditional knowledge of these wild and semi-wild Citrus species occurring in Northeast India and enumerated suitable conservation strategies and desired policy interventions for their dynamic conservation and sustainable utilization. 相似文献
