The diversity and phylogenetic analysis in 22 populations of Mexican coconut and six imported populations, were estimated using 15 enzymatic systems and the allele frequencies in: peroxidase (PER), endopeptidase (ENP), and glucose 6-Phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). There was very low polymorphism, not more than two alleles per locus. The Wright fixation indexes F(it) = 0.62, F(is) = 0.40, and F(st) = 0.36 indicated low total heterosygosity and low heterosygosity within populations suggesting endogamy and genetic drift, and a high diversity among populations due to differentiation between Pacific and Gulf of Mexico coastal populations. The phylogenetic tree with values for genetic distance, indicated three groups on the Pacific coast related to Rennell Tall and Polynesian Tall, and two groups on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, one related to West African Tall and another related to Mexican Pacific coast populations. This corroborates historical antecedents and morphological and physiological patterns. The Dwarf coconuts related to the Pacific Tall populations, Rennell Tall and Polynesian Tall. There was no difference between local and imported Dwarf populations.  相似文献

Coconut, Cocos nucifera L. is an important plantation crop of the tropics. Lakshadweep group of islands in the Arabian Sea are considered to be home to some important coconut cultivars. The present exploration was planned to sample the variability within the population of Laccadive ordinary tall (LCT), Laccadive micro tall (LMT) from two islands, Amini and Kadmat, of Lakshadweep. Sampling was done from 24 sites in Amini and 13 sites in Kadmat. On an average 10 palms were sampled from each site. During the trip, five accessions of LCT, three of LMT and one of Kaithathali were collected. Eight fruit component measurements were recorded to study the variability in the population. Intra-population variability was observed in both LCT and LMT. Three forms of LCT belonging to niu kafa, niu vai and introgressed types could be identified. Elongated angular fruits (elliptical) with 70% husk were niu kafa types, round or oval shaped ones with 55% husk were niu vai types and pear shaped ones with 58% husk were the introgressed forms. This exploration trip unearthed the missing link of niu vai type in the form of round fruit type which has not been reported earlier. Identification of different groups in LCT has far reaching implications in breeding. In the production of hybrids involving LCT, selection of mother palms of LCT is crucial. It is suggested that the elliptical fruit types may be avoided in the production of commercial hybrids, since it has high percentage of husk.  相似文献

Seedlings of two hundred and thirty-three accessions of the tomato collection maintained at the Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza, Turrialba, Costa Rica (CATIE) and 7 cultivars used as controls were evaluated for host-plant resistance to 4 virulent strains of Pseudomonas solanacearum representing race 1 biovars 1 and 3. In general, biovar 3 strains wilted seedlings faster than biovar 1 strains but, after 20 days post-inoculation, no significant differences were noted in susceptible control ratings. Significant differences for disease index were noted, but no line with complete resistance was found. For the USA biovar 1 strain UW-25, only 5 accessions, CATIE 17331, 17334, 17349, 17739, 17740, and 2 of the control cultivars, Hawaii 7998 and UC-82B showed some degree of resistance. Conversely, both the frequency and the degree of resistance were high for Costa Rican biovar 1 strain UW-256. For biovar 3, the Costa Rican strain UW-255 was more virulent than the Peruvian strain UW-130. Eight CATIE accessions, 5539, 17331, 17333, 17334, 17345, 17349, 17742, and MIP-CH1, were as resistant as the resistant control Hawaii 7998 to 3 strains and accession 17740 was as resistant as Hawaii 7998 to all 4 strains.Journal Paper No. J-16011 of the Iowa Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station, Ames, Iowa.

Diversity of native rice (Oryza Poaceae:) species of Costa Rica   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
We found several populations of wild Oryza species in the lowlands of Costa Rica. The plants showed extensive morphological variation, suggesting the presence of several species. In the morphologic study, 33 traits were scored for plants of all the species. A principal component analysis revealed the significant morphological separation of the different species. The analyses indicated that there are three species, O. grandi­glumis, O. latifolia and O. glumaepatula. Two putative hybrid types were found, both significantly differing in their morphology from the known species and intermediate at several traits. O. grandi­glumis is a new record for Costa Rican flora. Its main population is located in Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge, Los Chiles, Alajuela. O. latifolia is distributed throughout the lowlands of the country and the plants of the Atlantic slope are significantly bigger in general habit than those of the Guanacaste area. During this study a population of O. glumaepatula of hundreds of thousands of plants was discovered in the Medio Queso River wetland, Los Chiles, Alajuela. This population is the most important source of genes for cultivar's improvement from the primary gene pool of rice in Costa Rica. The small ligule and the wide flag leaf characteristic of the two CCDD species separated them from the AA diploid O. glumaepatula. Seed size, ligule size, number of branches in the panicle, plant height and sterile lemma length are all bigger in O. grandi­glumis, and influenced the second factor that separated the CCDD species in two discrete clusters. The species found offer great possibilities for the improvement of rice cultivars and they should be thoroughly studied and appropriately protected.  相似文献

We studied the pattern of variation of 19 morphological andphysiological characteristics of leaves and their phenotypicplasticity in 18 Mexican coconut populations experimentally grownunder similar conditions and in the presence of LY. The resultsshowed: (a) the existence of five ecotypes differentiatedby characteristic means and plasticity of these characteristics:Atlantic Tall, Pacific Tall 1, Pacific Tall 2, Pacific Tall 3 andMalayan Yellow Dwarf (MYD); (b) thecharacteristics that best differentiate the five ecotypes were: leaflength, number of leaves produced per unit time, and percentage ofproximal rachis in leaf; (c) the ecotypes correspond withpopulation groups previously observed in a study of morphologicalcharacterization of fruit in situ. Pacific Tall2 and MYD exhibited high resistance to LY and valuable morphologicalcharacteristics making them useful as parents in hybridizationprograms.  相似文献

Coconut palm is a multipurpose crop cultivated in tropics. Diversity in this crop is rich in South Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean Islands. Foliar traits have not been studied extensively to understand the diversity. Seven traits relevant to wind tolerance, dry matter production and taxonomic discrimination known in palms are used in the study. An attempt was made using Shannon–Weaver index with an objective to understand the level of diversity for these traits in a germplasm collection from diversity hotspot areas. Seven tall groups and four dwarf groups representing seven island territories were studied using 206 individuals. Diversity estimate was the highest in Nicobar tall group whereas it was low in tall genotypes of Fiji and Tonga. Thickness of leaf sheath fiber of weft and warp strands had shown high diversity estimates. Results obtained in this study were analyzed in relation to adaptation, geographical affinity, mating system and taxonomic forms (typica and nana) along with the importance of foliar traits in diversity of coconut. *CPCRI Contribution No. 1181  相似文献

Fifty-nine Brassica oleracea cultivars, belonging to five botanical varieties, were evaluated for microsatellite (SSR) polymorphisms using 11 database sequence derived primer pairs. The cultivars represented 12 broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica), ten Brussels sprouts (B. o. var. gemmifera), 21 cabbage (B. o. var. capitata, including the groups white and red cabbage), six savoy cabbage (B. o. var. sabauda), and ten cauliflower (B. o. var. botrytis) cultivars from 13 seed suppliers. The 11 primer pairs amplified in total 47 fragments, and differentiated 51 of the cultivars, whereas the remaining eight cultivars were differentiated from the rest in four inseparable pairs. All SSR markers, except one, produced a polymorphic information content (PIC value) of 0.5 or above. The average diversity for all markers within the tested material was 0.64. There was no major difference in the diversity within botanical varieties and groups. The cluster analysis and the resulting dendrogram showed that the cultivars tended to group within these taxonomic units. The present study substantiates the use of microsatellite markers as a powerful tool for cultivar differentiation and identification in vegetable brassicas.  相似文献

Sixty one persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) selections, including 17 Italian, 11 Spanish, 13 Japanese, six Korean, five Chinese, one Israeli, and eight of unknown origin, were evaluated for genetic differences by AFLP analysis. Relationships among cultivars were evaluated by UPGMA clustering, Neighbor Joining, and MultiDimensional Scaling. While similarities among groups were generally less than 0.60, both UPGMA and Neighbor Joining separated European and Asian cultivars. Spanish and Italian cultivars were not separated by any of the analyses, suggesting that they share a common gene pool, while Japanese, Chinese and Korean cultivars formed distinct clusters. Diversity within groups was greater than diversity between groups. Most cultivars were quite polymorphic (only 0.60–0.80 similarity between cultivars). In addition, the presence of several Japanese cultivars in the European group and a group of European cultivars nested between Chinese and Korean groups suggest that similar, but different progenitors were used in the development of the present European cultivars. ‘Kaki Tipo’ selections from different sources were clearly different by AFLP analysis, indicating that they are separate cultivars.  相似文献

Weedy rice is a complex of Oryza morphotypes widely distributed in commercial rice fields, which interfere with rice cultivation, seed production, industrial processing and commercialization of this crop in several countries. The objective of this study was to characterize the weedy rice complex of Costa Rica by comparing it with the cultivated and wild rice species found in the country. A collection of weedy rice accessions, representative of the morphotypes found in the country, was established and characterized. Their morphometric relationships were established by comparing 27 morphological traits with commercial rice cultivars, landraces and wild Oryza species and by performing a multivariate analysis. Twenty-one weedy rice morphotypes were identified among 735 weedy accessions by using a three-digit code based on seed characters. Three principal components (PCs) explained 66.25% of the variation observed. The first PC accounted for 36.21% of the variation and separated CCDD genome type Oryza latifolia and O. grandiglumis from AA genome species O. sativa, O. glumaepatula, O. rufipogon and O. glaberrima. The second (18.9%) and third (11.14%) PCs separated the weedy morphotype groups from the AA genome species O.sativa, O. glaberrima and O. rufipogon. The weedy morphotypes were scattered between the indica commercial rice varieties, the cluster landraces–glaberrima and O. rufipogon. Additionally, a group of morphotypes showed intermediate characteristics between O. sativa and O. rufipogon, suggesting that hybridization could have taken place in the past between these species. None of the morphotypes collected in Costa Rica clustered with the allotetraploids CCDD species or O. glumaepatula.  相似文献

The genetic relationships among 33 coconut germplasm accessions were analyzed using RAPD markers. The germplasm accessions were collected from various coconut growing regions viz. South Asia (SA), South East Asia (SEA), South Pacific (SP), Atantic and America, and Africa. Forty-five random primers produced a total of 399 polymorphic markers. The Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) ranged from 0.031 to 0.392 and the Marker Index (MI) ranged from 6.28 to 0.031 among the primers. Based on the MI a set of 5, 10 and 15 informative and reproducible primers were identified. The mantel matrix correlation was calculated to compare the similarity matrices of a set of reproducible informative primers and global primers. There was significant correlation among the similarity matrices (r ≥ 0.50). The similarity matrix based on 399 polymorphic markers was used to construct the dendrogram to show the genetic relationship among the accessions. Similarity values ranged between 0.573 and 0.846. There was less genetic similarity (based on Jaccard's coefficient) among South Pacific and South East Asian accessions. The clustering pattern obtained in the present study was in agreement with the earlier reports based on RFLP, SSRs and AFLPs.  相似文献

The centre of origin of coconut extends from Southwest Asia to Melanesia. Nevertheless, its pre-Columbian existence on the Pacific coast of America is attested. This raises questions about how, when and from where coconut reached America. Our molecular marker study relates the pre-Columbian coconuts to coconuts from the Philippines rather than to those of any other Pacific region, especially Polynesia. Such an origin rules out the possibility of natural dissemination by the sea currents. Our findings corroborate the interpretation of a complex of artefacts found in the Bahía de Caraquez (Ecuador) as related to South-East Asian cultures. Coconut thus appears to have been brought by Austronesian seafarers from the Philippines to Ecuador about 2,250 years BP. We discuss the implications of molecular evidence for assessing the possible contribution of early trans-pacific travels to and from America to the dissemination of domesticated plants and animals.  相似文献

Oryza latifolia is the most abundant and widespread wild relative of rice in the lowlands of Costa Rica. It also has the most diverse morphology. However, little is known about the genetic diversity and mating system of this allotetraploid species. Genetic analyses of nine populations from different life zones from the Pacific and Atlantic slopes were performed using six isozyme loci. Differences in genetic variability were observed among populations, of which Palo Verde and Santa Rosa were the most diverse. Most Atlantic populations clustered together, and a similar result was obtained with the Pacific populations. High levels of interpopulation diversity were observed while most populations were monomorphic for at least one genotype, suggesting little genetic flow within populations. Even in polymorphic populations no variation was observed within progeny groups, combined with Hardy-Weinberg disequilibria in most populations, commonly observed in autogamous species or in species with clonal reproduction. However, the high frequency of heterozygous-like patterns may suggest that the reproductive system of O. latifolia might be more complex. Future research may explain the genetic patterns as well as the reproductive biology of this species. The knowledge of the genetic diversity and mating system of O. latifolia could contribute to the implementation of genetic resource conservation strategies and gene flow analyses, as well as of breeding programs for rice improvement.  相似文献

Litter decomposition of Acacia auriculiformis and Acacia mangium on sandy soil under coconut trees was studied in a field trial using the litterbag technique. The study was conducted during 2001 and 2002 in Ivory Coast. Litterbags containing 450 g of dried leaves and 450 g of dried small stems were set up in two coconut plantations of different ages, 3 and 20 years old. Dry matter weight and concentrations of total nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and C/N ratio were determined at 90, 180, 270, and 360 days. The decomposition rate constant (k) and the half-life time decomposition of dry matter (T 1/2) were calculated. The study showed that A. auriculiformis and A. mangium have the same rate of decomposition on each coconut plantation. The k value varied from −1.592 day−1 to −1.492 day−1. The half-life time decomposition value of dry matter (T 1/2) ranged from 283 to 301 days. Nitrogen was released between 0 and 180 days with an N concentration for A. auriculiformis and A. mangium varying from 2.03 to 1.80% and 1.97 to 1.79%, respectively. After 180 days, the litters immobilized N. Phosphorus and Mg were released faster from A. mangium than from A. auriculiformis. A positive correlation was found between the N concentration of each Acacia species and the litter dry weight at 90 and 180 days. Likewise, C/N ratio was positively correlated with litter dry weight at 90 days.  相似文献

Twelve and six DNA clones representing various parts of chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes, respectively, were used to detect polymorphism among five watermelon cultivars and 21 U.S. Plant Introductions (PIs) collected from diverse geographical locations and representing major groups of Citrullus species. Cluster analysis based on 20 chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) and 10 mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers differentiated the accessions into three major phenetic groups: PIs and watermelon cultivars of Citrullus lanatus subsp. vulgaris (Schrad. ex Eckl. et Zeyh.) Fursa (also designated as C. lanatus var. lanatus) (group I), PIs of C. lanatus var. citroides (of C. lanatus subsp. lanatus Schrad. ex Eckl. et Zeyh.)(group II), and C. colocynthis (L.) Schrad. PIs (group III). The chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of watermelon cultivars are distinct, but closely related to those of the C. lanatus var. lanatus PIs. On the other hand, the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of the wild species C. colocynthis are more similar to those of C. lanatus var. citroides. Polymorphic cpDNA and mtDNA markers identified in this study can complement isozyme and nuclear DNA data used in earlier phylogenetic and phenetic classifications of Citrullus PIs. These cpDNA and mtDNA markers are being used in experiments designed to enhance watermelon cultivars by replacing the chloroplast and mitochondrial genome of cultivated watermelon with those of the wild species C. colocynthis.  相似文献

Little information exists on the phosphorus (P) use efficiency of Tithonia diversifolia under varying levels of soil P availability. This study evaluated biomass production, changes in tissue P concentration, P uptake, and P uptake and utilization efficiencies in a Costa Rican and Colombian T. diversifolia genotype when 0, 0.3, 5, and 30 mg P g?1 were available. Biomass, root length and tissue P concentration increased significantly (P < 0.05) with increasing levels of P availability and with time. Phosphorus uptake (mg plant?1) was significantly higher (P < 0.05) at 30 mg P g?1. Phosphorus uptake (mg P mg?1 Pf) and utilization (mg mg?1 P) efficiencies were greatest at 0.3 and 5 mg P g?1. Differences between genotypes showed that T. diversofilia from Colombia had a significantly higher (P < 0.05) biomass, tissue P concentration, root length, and a more effective uptake and utilization of P when availability of this nutrient was low.  相似文献

Summary Chickpea cultivars (Cicer arietinum L.) and their symbiosis with specific strains of Rhizobium spp. were examined under salt stress. The growth of rhizobia declined with NaCl concentrations increasing from 0.01 to 2% (w : v). Two Rhizobium spp. strains (F-75 and KG 31) tolerated 1.5% NaCl. Of the 10 chickpea cultivars examined, only three (Pusa 312, Pusa 212, and Pusa 240) germinated at 1.5% NaCl. The chickpea — Rhizobium spp. symbiosis was examined in the field, with soil varying in salinity from electrical conductivity (EC) 4.5 to EC 5.2 dSm-1, to identify combinations giving satisfactory yields. Significant interactions between strains and cultivars caused differential yields of nodules, dry matter, and grain. Four chickpea — Rhizobium spp. combinations, Pusa 240 and F-75 (660 kg ha-1), Pusa 240 and IC 76 (440 kg ha-1), Pusa 240 and KG 31 (390 kg ha-1), and Pusa 312 and KG 31 (380 kg ha-1), produced significantly higher grain yields in saline soil.  相似文献

The nitrogen-fixing capacity of a range of commercial cultivars of maize (Zea mays L.) was evaluated by the 15N isotope-dilution method. Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) expressed as percent nitrogen derived from air (Ndfa) ranged from 12 to 33 regardless of nitrogen fertilization. BNF was not affected by mineral nitrogen fertilization except on cultivar Topacio and PAU-871 cultivars. Subsequently, culturable bacterial diazotrophs were isolated from endophytic tissue of maize: seed, root, stem, and leaf. All isolates were able to grow on N-free semisolid medium. Eleven bacteria isolates showed nitrogen-fixing capacity by the reduction of acetylene to ethylene and confirmed by PCR the presence of nifH gene in their genome. Identification of the 11 isolates was performed by bacteriological methods, 16S rRNA gene sequences, and phylogenetic analysis, which indicated that the bacteria isolated were closely related to Pantoea, Pseudomonas, Rhanella, Herbaspirillum, Azospirillum, Rhizobium (Agrobacterium), and Brevundimonas. This study demonstrated that maize cultivars obtain significant nitrogen from BNF, varying by maize cultivar and nitrogen fertilization level. The endophytic diazotrophic bacteria isolated from root, stem, and leaf tissues of maize cultivars may contribute to BNF in these plants.  相似文献

Increasing and maintaining crop residues in predominantly cereal-based rotations of the US Pacific Northwest is critical to controlling soil erosion. The core collection of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) germplasm comprising 287 accessions was evaluated for variation in phenological, morphological and growth parameters including seed yields and residue amounts over a two-year period under conventional tillage and no-till conditions. The objectives of this study were (i) assess lentil genetic variation in germplasm for variation in biomass production and seed yield, (ii) assess the relationship of phenological and morphological traits with biomass and seed yield and (iii) identify high biomass producing germplasm for use as parents in the breeding program. Days to flowering and days to maturity ranged from 31 to 78 and from 71 to 106 days, respectively. Time to flowering in terms of cumulative heat units was a more efficient measurement than days to flowering. Plant height and plant canopy width had a significant association with total biomass, seed yield and residue amounts. Total biomass ranged from 788–6389 kg ha–1 under conventional tillage, while the range under no-till conditions was 1045–6195 kg ha–1. Most of the lines with higher biomass also produced the highest seed yields and residue amounts. Overall, only one accession produced more residue than `Laird'. In the more favorable environment of 1997, six accessions exceeded the control cultivars, `Laird' and `Indianhead', for residue amounts, and seven and twenty-four accessions exceeded control cultivars, `Pardina' and `Brewer', for seed yield. Results indicated that plant height, canopy width at maturity and seed yield explained most of the variation in biomass and residue production. Large seeded germplasm consistently had a longer reproductive growth period than small seeded accessions and had 17%, 7% and 21% more biomass, seed yield and residue, respectively. Our data indicated significant variation in lentil germplasm for biomass, seed yield and residue amounts to warrant their use in the breeding program.  相似文献

Accurate assessment of genetic similarity is important for plant breeding, germplasm enhancement and conservation of plant genetic resources. A comparative analysis of genome diversity among a group of six-rowed spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars was carried out using sequence-specific amplified polymorphism (S-SAP) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), with the results compared to the kinship coefficients derived from the pedigree data. Mean pair-wise GS values were estimated to be 0.0957 ± 0.144 (Kinship), 0.491 ± 0.189 (SNPs), and 0.602 ± 0.098 (S-SAPs). S-SAP and SNP-based genetic similarity (GS) values were normally distributed but kinship values had a non-normal and skewed distribution. Pair-wise correlation of GS values were lowest for the S-SAP and the SNP matrices (r =; 0.040, p<0.230) and highest for the SNP and pedigree matrices (r =; 0.240, p < 0.001). Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) attributed about 90.4% of observed variation to the cultivars within each of the malting and feed groups. Variance component between malting and feed groups was 6.6% for both SNP and S-SAP data suggesting lack of a significant genetic differentiation along this agronomic division. The remaining 3% of variation was attributed to genetic diversity within cultivars. Although both DNA-based marker systems were able to differentiate all barley cultivars, significant difference were observed in the pattern of genetic relationships obtained by the two marker systems and the pedigree data.  相似文献
