Differential Responses to Pea Bacterial Blight in Stems, Leaves and Pods Under Glasshouse and Field Conditions

Resistance to pea bacterial blight (Pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi) in different plant parts was assessed in 19 Pisum sativum cultivars and landraces, carrying race-specific resistance genes (R-genes) and two Pisum abyssinicum accessions carrying race-nonspecific resistance. Stems, leaves and pods were inoculated with seven races of P. s. pv. pisi under glasshouse conditions. For both race-specific and nonspecific resistance, a resistant response in the stem was not always associated with resistance in leaf and pod. Race-specific genes conferred stem resistance consistently, however, there was variability in the responses of leaves and pods which depended on the matching R-gene and A-gene (avirulence gene in the pathogen) combination. R2 generally conferred resistance in all plant parts. R3 or R4 singly did not confer complete resistance in leaf and pod, however, R3 in combination with R2 or R4 enhanced leaf and pod resistance. Race-nonspecific resistance conferred stem resistance to all races, leaf and pod resistance to races 2, 5 and 7 and variable reactions in leaves and pods to races 1, 3, 4 and 6.Disease expression was also studied in the field under autumn/winter conditions. P. sativum cultivar, Kelvedon Wonder (with no R genes), and two P. abyssinicum accessions, were inoculated with the most frequent races in Europe under field conditions (2, 4 and 6). Kelvedon Wonder was very susceptible to all three races, whereas P. abyssinicum was much less affected. The combination of disease resistance with frost tolerance in P. abyssinicum enabled plants to survive through the winter. A breeding strategy combining race-nonspecific resistance derived from P. abyssinicum with race-specific R-genes should provide durable resistance under severe disease pressure.     

Comparative Genomics for Gene Isolation in Legumes

The similarity in gene order between closely related taxa suggests that genomic information from model systems should facilitate gene isolation and characterization in target crops. If this is the case, a great deal of effort and investment can be saved by focusing attention on a few model systems that have appropriate applicability. Pea （Pisura sativum） provides a good test case： its genome is large and the insertion sites for repetitive elements, which comprise the bulk of its genome, are highly polymorphic （Jing et al., 2005; Vershinin et al., 2003）, so we expect a great deal of structural polymorphism between the genomes of Pisum lines. Yet the genetic map of Pisum is essentially coUinear with Medicago （Choi et al., 2004; Kalo et al., 2004）.     

The use of RAPD technique for the identification and classification of Pisum sativum L. genotypes

Summary The genomic DNAs of 42 Pisum sativum genotypes, representing four wild and cultivated subspecies were used as templates in RAPD reactions. Amplification with eight decamer primers generated 149 polymorphic products. Genetic similarities of RAPD profiles were estimated via a coefficient of Jaccard and then the data were processed by cluster analysis (UPGMA). Each genotype was clearly identified and separated from the others. Our results show that RAPD technology is a rapid, precise and sensitive technique for identification of pea genotypes. However, the phylogenetic relationships within the Pisum sativum, which we tested by bootstrap analysis (Wagner parsimony), must be interpreted with caution.     

磺酰脲类除草剂药害规律的研究

采用作物主根长法测定了常用两种磺酰脲类除草剂对玉米（Zea mays L.)农大1236和豌豆（Pisum sativum L.）中碗6号的相对毒力，玉米试验结果表明，以IC50值比较，氯磺隆、胺苯磺隆对玉米的毒力较高，容易造成药害。豌豆试验结果表明，豌豆对氯磺隆和胺苯磺隆比玉米更敏感。离体玉米和豌豆ALS酶的研究表明，豌豆的ALS对两种磺酰脲类除草剂较玉米更敏感，氯磺隆对两种作物的ALS抑制作用也较胺苯磺隆强。     

豌豆根腐病研究进展

根腐病是豌豆根部的重要病害之一,在世界各地豌豆产区均有发生,是制约豌豆产业持续健康发展的因素之一。世界上尚未发现对根腐病完全免疫的豌豆品种,防治方法主要以农业防治和化学防治为主。本文从豌豆根腐病的发生与分布、病原菌的分类及特点、抗性鉴定及评价标准、种质资源、分子标记及防治策略等方面对国内外豌豆根腐病研究现状进行综述。并提出抗病育种和未来豌豆根腐病综合防治的研究方向。     

豌豆种皮结构和成分对种子透水性的影响

为探索豌豆种皮的结构和成分对种子透水性的影响,借助扫描电镜对种皮表面和横断面结构进行观察,并采用显微化学鉴别法、红外光谱分析法以及能量色散型x射线荧光分析仪对种皮成分进行了定性和定量测定.结果表明,豌豆种脐是水分进入种子的主要通道,而种皮结构中的角质层、栅栏层是水分和其他外源物质进入的主要障碍.种皮成分中纤维素、木质素、角质、含碳化合物和Sr元素等的积累增加了种皮的机械强度,从而降低种子的透水性,而种皮中K、Fe、Ca元素的积累可能有利于种皮透水.此外,研究还发现,皮壳率越高,种子透水性越好,且保持种子种皮完整性对种子吸水和保水具有重要作用.     

Measurement of genetic dissimilarity in fieldpea (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Pisum sativum</Emphasis> L.) genotypes using RAPD markers

The present investigation was carried out on fifteen germplasm lines of Pisum sativum L. were used for characterization using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. While 12 random primers were taken, out of them 11 primers gave amplification. These primers gave a total of 133 bands out of which 106 were polymorphic. Genetic similarities of the RAPD profiles were estimated by using Jaccard’s coefficient with NTSYSpc 2.0 software. The similarity index values ranged from 0.263 to 0.793 indicating the presence of enormous genetic diversity at molecular level. A dendrogram generated by cluster analysis divided fifteen fieldpea genotypes into two Groups A and B. Major Group A have five genotypes and major Group B have nine genotypes.     

大蒜不定芽的诱导及其增殖系数的调节

为获得白皮大蒜组培繁殖体系,以其茎尖为材料,通过BA和NAA不同激素配比试验研究,结果表明:诱导愈伤组织的最适培养基为:MS BA0.2mg/L NAA0.5mg/L,诱导率达60%;诱导不定芽的最适培养基为:MS BA1.0mg/L NAA0.1mg/L,丛生芽繁殖系数高达80%。同时,为建立扩繁最佳体系,分别研究了激素、pH、谷氨酸钠三因素对不定芽增殖系数的调节效果,研究表明:添加0.5mg/L的GA3使增值系数提高到13.8;pH5.8最利于不定芽增值;添加10mg/L谷氨酸钠能在多次继代培养中保持较高的增值系数。     

大蒜花芽分化的细胞组织学研究

从解剖学及细胞组织学角度对大蒜花序及花的发育进行了系统观察。结果表明：大蒜在７叶１心时开始花序分化。花序轴基部先产生３枚总苞叶原基，同时顶端分化出顶花原基。顶花原基形成后，整个花序轴分为３～４个分生组织区，之后每个分生组织区顶端再产生１个花原基，并分为３～４个小区，如此反复进行多次，最终组成聚伞类伞形花序。花原基初形成时为球形，不久引长成棒状，在其顶端依次分化出外轮花被片原基和外轮雄蕊原基，内轮花被片原基和内轮雄蕊原基，心皮原基和胚珠原基。文中还对大蒜花序及花分化中的特殊现象进行了初步研究，分析了大蒜不能结实的原因，以期为大蒜有性生殖提供理论依据。
