Patchouli (Pogostemon patchouli) is an important, exclusively vegetatively propagated aromatic plant, whose essential oil is widely used in perfumery and
cosmetic products. Forty SC1 generation (first generation following in vitro phase) somaclones selected randomly from about 400 somaclones developed from the variety Johore, were multiplied through
stem cuttings and evaluated in SC2 and SC3 generations to study the extent of somaclonal variation generated for plant height, herb yield, essential oil content, essential
oil yield, and seven constituents of the essential oil. Significant or highly significant somaclonal variation was observed
for plant height, herb yield, essential oil content, essential oil yield, and contents of patchouli alcohol, α-guaiene, α,δ-patchoulene,
and α-bulnesene in the essential oil. The number of somaclones significantly superior to the parental variety for plant height,
herb yield, essential oil content, and patchouli alcohol content in the essential oil ranged from 8–16 and the maximum superiority
over the parental variety for these traits ranged from 21–79%. Broad-sense heritability estimates of plant height, herb yield,
and essential oil content were 0.60–0.70 while those of essential oil yield and patchouli alcohol content were 0.44 and 0.47,
respectively. Heritability estimates of other studied essential oil constituents were generally low (0.12–0.38). A high positive
correlation was observed between essential oil yield and herb yield suggesting that selection for herb yield would be effective
in improving essential oil yield. Patchouli alcohol content in the essential oil was negatively correlated with all the studied
traits. Somaclonal variation, heritabilities of traits, and inter-trait correlations are reported for the first time in patchouli. 相似文献

Five cycles of phenotypic recurrent selection for increased essential oil content were carried out in East Indian lemongrass, Cymbopogon flexuosus. In each cycle, the top 5% of plants for essential oil content were selected and their ramets were planted in isolated polycross blocks to produce the seed of the next cycle. Response to selection for essential oil content and its effect on three unselected traits, leaf yield, dry matter content in leaves and citral content in the essential oil, were determined by evaluating C0‐C5 populations in a replicated trial. Genetic variation, heritability estimates and intertrait correlations for essential oil content, leaf yield, leaf width, tiller number and citral content in the essential oil in C4 were determined, by evaluating 40 clones and their half‐sib progenies produced from 40 randomly selected C4 plants, in a replicated experiment. These were compared with those determined in C0 earlier. The mean essential oil content increased from 0.66% in C0 to 1.67% in C5 (i.e. by about 31% per cycle over C0). Selection for essential oil content did not affect leaf yield and its effect on dry matter content in leaves was marginal. The first three cycles of selection for essential oil content did not affect citral content in the oil but two further cycles significantly decreased citral content. Heritabilities and intertrait correlations between all traits studied, except citral content and essential oil content, were similar to those found in C0. 相似文献

Although data on chemical properties of Achillea species are numerous, morphological studies are rare. Therefore, during 1995-97, some morphological and production biological characters (height, width, number of stems, dry flower mass and leaf colour) of Achillea crithmifolia, their stability over years and generations, their dependence upon plant age and their correlations with the accumulation of essential oil were examined. The populations investigated were raised from seed materials stored in the genebank of the Department. The considerable diversity of the populations indicated a high degree of heterozygosity of these traits in natural stands. Variability was highest in number of stems (15.3-37.4 pieces) and essential oil content (0.63-1.27%). This variability did not disappear during three successive generations of inbreeding, although a decrease in variance was observed. Essential oil content was shown to have a higher heritability than other properties. Correlations of plant height, width and number of shoots were medium (r = 0.539-0.757), and their correlation with the essential oil content was also significant. Both the year of examination and age of the plants exerted a strong influence on most of the characters studied. 相似文献

Nine polycross (PX) and nine different self (S1) progenies were randomly chosen from 43 selected tall fescue genotypes and evaluated for in vitro digestible organic matter (IVDOM), crude protein, neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre and acid detergent lignin of whole plants, leaf blades and stems (stem plus leaf sheath) at each of four harvest dates in 1991 and 1992. Significant variation for all whole‐plant and leaf quality traits occurred among the PX progenies at the May harvest. Variation among S1 progenies was significant for almost all of the stem traits. Genetic variance components for both progeny groups were significant for almost all of the traits, confirming the presence of additive genetic variation. Heritability estimates on a progeny‐mean basis ranged from medium to high for almost all the traits of the whole‐plant and the leaf and stem fractions. The results suggest that spring would be the time at which direct selection for high IVDOM or low fibre content would be successful and that selection for leaf or stem quality traits improves whole‐plant quality. Selection for quality traits in the summer or in the autumn would be difficult since no significant genetic variability was found. 相似文献

Summary Dry seeds of palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii
Stapf) var. motia were subjected to 12 doses of gamma rays ranging from 5 kr to 100 kr to find out the effects of gamma irradiation on growth parameters, herbage yield and yield and quality of essential oil. Several biological parameters such as seedling growth, pollen fertility, mitotic chromosome behaviour, productive tillers/plant, leaf area index, leaf/stem ratio (by fresh weight) and total herbage yield/ /plant together with yield and quality of oil have been studied in the first (M1) generation. Marked stimulatory effects of gamma radiation in 10 kr and 15 kr doses have been compared with the control for herbage yield, oil percentage and total alcohols (free geranyl and geranyl acetate).The two yield contributing traits, herbage yield/plant and leaf area index were remarkably increased in 15 kr, which indicates that in palmarosa the 15 kr dose is more effective than the higher doses in producing microlevel mutations. The yield and quality of oil at 10 kr and 15 kr doses were enhanced significantly. The results on high yield and quality of oil as induced by gamma-irradiation were discussed from the point of view that a gene may have been altered by mutagen treatment to produce a metabolic block between geraniol and geranyl acetate on the biosynthetic pathway or that modifier genes controlling the expression of a key precursor molecule may have been further modified to give rise to a geraniol rich chemotype in palmarosa. 相似文献

Summary Honeycomb and simple mass selection for herb yield and inflorescence to leaf + stem ratio were studied in a population of palmarosa (Cymbopogon martini Stapf. var. motia) grown at a plant spacing of 90 cm. The inflorescence to leaf + stem ratio was studied for indirect selection for oil content. The effects of selection were evaluated at high (30×30 cm) and low (45×45 cm) plant densities. Honeycomb selection was effective in improving herb yield at both plant densities while simple mass selection was effective only at low plant density. Both selection methods were equally effective in improving inflorescence to leaf + stem ratio but only when the populations were grown at low plant density. Increases in oil content were obtained even when selection for an increased inflorescence to leaf + stem ratio was ineffective. Improvements in each of the three studied traits did not affect any other studied trait. 相似文献

Plants regenerated from cell suspension cultures of palmarosa grass, Cymbopogon martinii (Roxb.) Wats, were analysed for somaclonal variation in five clonal generations. A wide range of variation in important quantitative traits, e.g. plant yield, height, tiller number, oil content and qualitative changes in essential oil constituents—geraniol, geranyl acetate, geranyl formate and linalool—were observed among the 120 somaclones screened. Eight somaclones were selected on the basis of high herb and oil yield over the donor line and high geraniol content in the oil. Based on performance in the field trials, three superior lines were selected, and maintained for five clonal generations. The superior lines exhibited a reasonable degree of stability in the traits selected. 相似文献

Summary
In vitro selection of salt tolerant plants of Brassica juncea L. (Indian mustard) cv. Prakash has been accomplished by screening highly morphogenic cotyledon explant cultures on high NaCl media. Out of a total of 2,620 cotyledons cultured on high salt medium, 3 survived, showed sustained growth and regenerated shoots. They were multiplied by axillary bud culture on NaCl free medium. The salt-selected shoots retained salt tolerance following 3 month of growth and multiplication on control medium. While two of these somaclones flowered and set seeds, third one grew slowly, had abnormal leaf morphology and was sterile. The seed of the two fertile plants were sown in the field to raise R1 segregating generation. Data were recorded for field, other agronomic components and oil content. The somaclonal lines, both selected salt-tolerant and non-selected, showed tremendous amount of variation for all the characters studied. One of the two tolerant somaclones invariably showed reduced height, longer reproductive phase and higher 1000 seed weight. Based on the agronomic performance of R1 plants of these somaclones, some plants were selected and their progeny were evaluated for agronomic performance under standard field conditions and salt-tolerance in the greenhouse using sand pot culture method. Most of the lines bred true for their specific characteristics. In the greenhouse, selected salt-tolerant somaclones (SR-2 and SR-3) performed better for plant growth, yield and other agronomic traits at higher salt treatments, indicating thereby that salt-tolerance trait selected in vitro was expressed in the whole plants and is genetically stable and transmitted onto the progeny. The two tolerant lines, however, differed in their salt-tolerance during vegetative and reproductive phases as indicated by their salt-tolerance and stress susceptibility indices. The mechanism of salt-tolerance is not clear and needs to be further investigated. 相似文献

Summary Wheat root characters which influence vital plant processes have scarcely been explored for their genetic control. This study was conducted to i) examine the diversity of root traits and associated shoot traits in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars; ii) study the nature of genetic control of selected traits; and iii) examine associations among root and shoot traits. Three experiments were conducted in the greenhouse with plants grown in the vermiculite medium in clear plastic tubes. In the first experiment, 42 spring wheat cultivars were grown for three weeks and measurements were taken on root length, leaf length, root number, leaf number, root dry weight, and top dry weight. In the second study, 15F1's originating from a partial diallel mating of six cultivars along with the parents were evaluated for 4 weeks. The data on root length, leaf length, and root number were subjected to diallel analysis according to Griffing's method 4, fixed model. A third experiment consisted of studying 2 F2 populations with 141 plants per population. In the first study the 42 cultivars exhibited a wide range of variation for all six traits. Diallel analysis revealed significant effects of both general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for root length, leaf length, and root number. Parents with high GCA estimates were identified. Significant positive correlation coefficients were found among root and shoot traits. Analysis of F2's for root length indicated quantitative nature of inheritance of root length. 相似文献

Production and characterization of intergeneric somatic hybrids between Moricandia arvensis and Brassica oleracea 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Somatic hybrids were produced between Moricandia arvensis (MaMa, 2n= 28) and Brassica oleracea (CC, 2n= 18) through cell fusion and then characterized by analysing their morphology, cytology, DNA constitution, leaf anatomy and seed fertility. Cell fusion was carried out between greenish protoplasts isolated from the mesophyll of M. arvensis and colourless ones from hypocotyls of B. oleracea. Three plants were generated from one shoot via cuttings and acclimatized in vivo. They closely resembled each other in morphology, exhibiting traits intermediate between the parental species. They were confirmed to be amphidiploids by mitotic and meiotic analyses, being 2n= 46 (MaMaCC), with pollen fertility of about 50%, which was enough to develop the subsequent progenies. Anatomical analysis of the for leaf tissue showed that the bundle sheath cells of the somatic hybrids contained some centripetally arranged organelles, like those of M. arvensis. The hybridity was also confirmed by random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. Both chloroplast DNA and mitochondrial DNA of the somatic hybrids were estimated to be derived from M. arvensis. In leaf anatomy, the somatic hybrid showed the C3‐C4 intermediate trait as in M. arvensis. Many progenies resulted from backcrossing with parental species. The somatic hybrids are expected to be used as bridging plant material to introduce the C3‐C4 intermediate trait into Brassica crop species. 相似文献

Summary Three cycles of honeycomb selection for herb yield, applied on widely spaced individual plants of davana (Artemisia pallens Wall.), resulted in an increase in yield of 12.4% per cycle when the resulting populations were evaluated at commercial plant density. The selection had no adverse effect on essential oil content, davanone content in oil and plant height. 相似文献

Summary Anthers of the diploid (2n=77) and the colchi-tetraploid (2n=154) Pelargonium roseum were cultured in vitro. In both ploidy level anthers containing uninucleate or binucleate microspores were incubated on a modified White's medium. Calli formed were then subcultured on Murashige and Skoog's medium for organoid differentiation. Plants developed from organoids were transferred to filter paper bridges and after that transplanted into pots. Plants derived from anthers of the tetraploid had diploid chromosome number. Wide variation of their essential oil components suggested their genetic heterogeneity. Further, high correlations between different seasons in the rate of essential oil components showed that the wide variation was due to genetic differences. Therefore, these plants probably originated from pollen grains. On the other hand, plants derived from anthers of the diploid had diploid chromosome number. Small variation and low correlations between different seasons in essential oil components indicated their genetic homogeneity. Their origin was ascribable to the somatic tissues of the mother plant. It is concluded that in plant species in which usual sexual reproduction is difficult, anther culture of chromosome-doubled plants will give a useful method for obtaining genetic variation. 相似文献

Common sunflower (i.e., Helianthus annuus) is occasionally crossed with other Helianthus species to gain favourable agronomic traits. An interspecific cross between H. annuus and Helianthus mollis was used to examine events that occurred during the five first generations. First generation hybrid plants were verified using GISH, and F1 hybrid (#17) was back-crossed to common sunflower to obtain BC1 (#4) and BC2 (#21). Some BC2 progeny possessed new traits, i.e., compact (Compact plant architecture is due to short inter-node length, short petiole length and short leaf lamina length) architecture without and with corrugated leaves, which were not observed in the parents. These traits were selected for and fixed after the BC2-S3 (#18) to produce a H. mollis introgression line (namely HM374). Although the size of the population was small, we tentatively construct a genetic map using data from the BC2 generation. Two linkage groups were identified carrying H. mollis specific AFLP markers that were associated with compact plant architecture, and one unlinked marker was shown to explain variation for the corrugated leaves. Introgression line HM374 was used to test the inheritance of compact plant architecture in a cross with an elite high oleic line, OL75HO. Microsatellite (SSR) markers were used to genotype F1 and F2 offspring’s. Our data suggested that the line HM374 was still heterozygous for introgression after eight generations. HM374 displays new architecture traits (i.e. compact architecture with or without corrugated leaves) and carries H. mollis fragments anchored on LG1 and LG11 of sunflower public map. 相似文献

Summary Phenotypic recurrent selection was carried out for oil content in East Indian lemongrass, Cymbopogon flexuosus (Steud) Wats. In each cycle, the top 5% of plants for oil content were selected. Their ramets were used for the establishment of replicated polycross blocks in isolation. Realized gains from selection were determined by evaluating the populations and the best clones from each population in separate two-year replicated trials. Three cycles of recurrent selection increased oil content by 32% per cycle at the population level. Realized gains from selection were slightly smaller or similar to predicted gains. Mean realized heritability for oil content was 0.56. At the clonal level, the best C1 and the best C2 clones had, respectively, a 22% and 73% higher oil content than the best clone from the base population (C0). Selection for oil content did not adversely affect leaf yield, dry matter content or citral content in oil. Probable reasons for the high response to selection are mentioned. 相似文献

The impact of the genotype‐specific leaf morphological and anatomical characteristics on the ability of wheat plants to preserve leaf water balance and cell membranes stability under drought stress was investigated. Seedlings of six modern semi‐dwarf (carriers of Rht, Reduced height genes) and six old tall bread wheat varieties were subjected to soil drought by withholding watering for 6 days. Morpho‐anatomical traits (leaf area, perimeter, thickness, stomata and trichome density) of daily watered (control) plants were characterized by light microscopy, scanning and image analyses. The leaf water status in both control and stressed plants was determined by measuring the relative water content (RWC). The leaf cell membranes stability in stressed plants was estimated by conductometric determination of the membranes injury index. On average, the modern semi‐dwarf varieties had less leaf area and leaf perimeter, and less dissection index, a parameter characterizing the leaf shape. Under drought stress, the modern genotypes maintained better water balance evidenced by significantly higher leaf RWC and better‐preserved the cell membranes stability supported by significantly lower Injury index. The correlations between morpho‐anatomical traits in control plants and drought tolerance‐related traits showed that the higher the leaf dissection index (i.e. more oblong leaves), the greater the water loss and the leaf membrane damages after desiccation were. The effect of shape of the evaporating surface on the water loss was modelled using wet filter paper. Similar to plant leaves, the evaporation and, respectively, water loss from paper pieces of more oblong shape (i.e. higher dissection index) was more intensive. The elucidation of the impact of the leaf shape on transpiration might contribute to better understanding of the mechanisms used by plants to maintain water reserves during drought stress and could be a basis for developing of simple and fast screening methods aiding the selection of drought tolerant genotypes. 相似文献

The genetic control of water‐use and photosynthetic traits in Brassica oleracea is resolved by genetic analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTL). Variations in leaf conductance, photosynthetic assimilation rate, leaf thickness and leaf nitrogen content were assessed in a segregating population of F1‐derived doubled haploid (DH) B. oleracea lines. In addition, stable carbon isotope ratios in leaf organic material were used as a surrogate measure of plant water‐use efficiency. Analysis of an existing linkage map for the population revealed significant QTL on seven linkage groups. Single significant QTL explained between 3.4% and 36.6% of the phenotypic variance in each of the traits measured. The locations of QTL for several traits were found to coincide in a physiologically meaningful way; stable carbon isotope discrimination had QTL co‐locating with leaf level water‐use efficiency, photosynthetic capacity with leaf thickness and nitrogen content and stomatal density with leaf thickness. Taken together, these results suggest that single genes or clusters of genes at these loci may have an influence on the expression of physiologically related traits controlling water‐use and photosynthesis. 相似文献

Summary Microspore embryogenesis technology allows plant breeders to efficiently generate homozygous micros-pore-derived breeding populations of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) without traditional generations of inbreeding. This study was conducted to compare the frequency distribution of microspore-derived population and single seed descent populations with respect to fatty acids of seed oil. Both microspore-derived populations and single seed descent populations were produced from each of three crosses made between selected parents containing contrasting amount of erucic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids. The fatty acid content of F3 plants derived lines (F5 seed) developed by single seed descent was compared to that of microspore-derived populations. The means, ranges and distribution pattern of seed fatty acid contents were similar in both populations for each fatty acid studied, although a few heterozygous lines were observed in the single seed descent populations. The results indicated that microspore-derived population form random, homozygous F1 plant derived gametic arrays for all fatty acids evaluated. Selection for altered fatty acid composition in microspore-derived and single seed descent homozygous populations should be equally efficient, in the absence of linkage of traits investigated. 相似文献

Interspecific hybrids between Trifolium uniflorum and cultivated white clover (Trifolium repens) have highly useful characteristics for temperate pastoral systems derived from both parent species. However, the early hybrids (F1 and BC1) also have unacceptably poor seed production for commerce. This study analysed the basis for the poor seed production and investigated breeding strategies for overcoming the problem. The BC1F1 generation produced lower‐than‐expected numbers of heads per plant and seeds per floret. Backcrossing of selected hybrids to white clover corrected these deficiencies and created new variation. Seed numbers were also returned to near target levels by recurrent selection within the BC1 generation. Thus, it was possible to retain a theoretical average of 25% of T. uniflorum genome and still achieve high seed production per plant. The BC1F2 and BC2F1 generations produced high seed numbers per plant, along with reasonable variation. Both of these second‐generation hybrid forms have high reproductive potential and should be the focus for the selection of the desired combinations of agronomic and seed production traits. 相似文献

Monogenic inheritance and linkage were established on the basis of F1 observations and analysis of 13,498 plants in 42 crosses for leaf colour, 7046 plants in 27 crosses for plant pubescence,
1926 plants in 8 crosses for number of leaflets per leaf, and 3182 plants in 12 crosses for plant height under field conditions.
Normal green colour of foliage was found to be dominant over light green, pubescent plant over glabrous, high number of leaflets
per leaf over low number of leaflets, and tall plant over dwarf. Linkage was estimated from joint segregation analysis, taking
two characters at a time in all possible combinations as significant χ2 values were recorded for these genes. Gene symbols Gl, Pub, Ph, and Hl are proposed for these four traits, respectively. The genes are arranged in the order of Ph-Gl-Pub-Hl with the map distances of 21.1, 28.9, and 17.5 cM between them. This short sequence of four linked genes spanning over 37.2
cM has been called Linkage Group 2 of lentil. 相似文献

Summary Multiple shoot formation in cotyledonary callus of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea cv. Prakash) was induced on modified MS media supplemented with high cytokinin (kinetin or zeatin) and low IAA concentrations. Complete plants were obtained on prolonged incubation of shoots on the same medium. 6-Benzyladenine alone or in combination with IAA or NAA did not support plantlet regeneration. A total of 71 plants were transferred to greenhouse. The seed, however, could be collected from 37 plants only. The seed was sown in the field to evaluate the material for somaclonal variation in R1 generation. Data were recorded for yield, plant height, number of primary branches, siliqua number, 1,000 seed weight and oil content. Somaclonal lines showed tremendous amount of variation for all the characters studied. A number of plants in this generation showed significantly higher yield and/or other improved agriculturally important characteristics as compared to the control. A line with dwarf plant type was also identified. A number of plants were selected from this generation and carried forward to R2 generation. Most of these lines bred true in R2 generation. The material seems to be very promising for future breeding programmes. 相似文献
