This study focused on clarifying phylogenetic relationships among Citrus accessions from Vietnam. Our phylogenetic analysis based on nucleotide sequences from the ITS of the ribosomal DNA included 69 accessions belonging to Citrus and related (sub)genera. Maximum parsimony and Bayesian analysis confirmed a clear separation of the three ‘true’ Citrus species (C. medica, C. maxima and C. reticulata). Confirming recent taxonomic revisions, Fortunella, Poncirus trifoliata and Citrus hystrix are clustered among the accessions of subgenus Citrus. C. × sinensis accessions revealed a close evolutionary relationship to either C. maxima or C. reticulata, thereby confirming their involvement in its hybrid origin. Also, some other hybrid taxa and their proposed parental species were investigated and their origin could in some cases be confirmed using the ITS sequence data.  相似文献

Thirty-seven chloroplast molecular markers were used to evaluate the genetic diversity and infer the phylogenetic relationship of 24 Algerian Citrus accessions from the Institut Technique de l′Arboriculture Fruitière et de la Vigne germplasm bank. The reliability and consistence of the clustering distribution was further asserted including 5 Spanish accessions from the Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Agrarias. The accessions were positioned on a phylogenetic tree of the genus Citrus based on previous analyses of the whole sequence of citrus chloroplast. Algerian accessions clustered into two main clades mostly differentiated by the occurrence of either mandarin or pummelo chloroplast types. All 7 mandarins analyzed were grouped in the same clade while the other cluster subdivided in 4 groups, included 1 lumia, 3 lemons, 2 grapefruits and 11 sweet oranges. Algerian grapefruit accessions were grouped together with the pummelos in a single cluster while all sweet oranges formed an independent and homogenous clade. Interestingly, the lemons studied were clustered in 3 different subclusters while Citrus lumia genotype was isolated in a different group. These results suggest that in contrast to the studied Algerian mandarins or sweet oranges, that share all the same mandarin or sweet orange chloroplast haplotype, the high diversity of current lemon accessions is at least partially correlated with the identity of different pummelo progenitors which evolved from a common ancestor. In addition, the data indicate that Citrus lumia is a new type of citrus chloroplast that appears to be phylogenetically related to the chloroplasts of the pummelo and micrantha group.  相似文献

PCR-RFLP analyses of three regions for each of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA; rbcL-ORF106, trnD-trnT, trnH-trnK) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA; nad7/exon2-exon3, nad7/exon3-exon4, 18S-5S) were performed in 26 cultivars of acid citrus grown in Japan to identify polymorphisms and classify them. The polymorphisms were compared with those of three true Citrus species, i.e., mandarin, pummelo and citron. Ichang papeda (C. ichangensis) was also included in this study to find its relationship with Yuzu. Inter-species cpDNA variation was recognized and the acid citrus were divided into three groups, namely; I (‘Yuzukichi’ and ‘Kinkoyu’), II [sour oranges (‘Kaiseito’, ‘Daidai’ and ‘China daidai’), ‘Nansho daidai’, ‘Kiku daidai’, C. sudachi (‘Mushi yukaku’, ‘Yushi yukaku’ and ‘Yushi mukaku’), C. sphaerocarpa (‘Kabosu’ and ‘Aka kabosu’), C. kizu (‘Taninaka kizu’, ‘Kinosu’ and ‘Kizu’), ‘Zanbo’, ‘Mochiyu’, ‘Jabara’ and ‘Naoshichi’], and III [Yuzu (‘Tetraploid’, ‘Tochikei yuzu’ and ‘Yamanekei yuzu’), ‘Matsuda sudachi’, ‘Zuishoyu’, ‘Hanayu’ and ‘Yuko’]. CpDNA restriction patterns of the three true Citrus species differed from each other as well as from those of ichang papeda. CpDNA restriction patterns of group I of the acid citrus were identical to those of mandarins. Group II showed the same as pummelos. CpDNA restriction patterns of group III were differed from those of the three true Citrus species in the three regions. This group was differed from ichang papeda after digestion of trnH-trnK PCR products with TaqI, HinfI and AluI, while they showed identical restriction patterns in two regions, rbcL-ORF106 and trnD-trnT. Citrons and ichang papeda were placed in groups IV and V, respectively. Based on mtDNA restriction patterns, the acid citrus were divided into three groups; i, ii and iii. In groups i and ii accessions of groups I and II of cpDNA were placed with mandarins and pummelos, respectively. In group iii accessions of group III of cpDNA were placed with ichang papeda. Citrons were placed in a distinct group, iv.  相似文献

Genetic variation and phylogenetic relationships among 50 wild and cultivated accessions of 19 Indian Citrus genotypes were examined through comparison of Directed Amplification of Minisatellite DNA (DAMD) markers and morphological characters. DAMD-PCR analysis with four primers resulted in amplification of a total of 45 bands, of which 35 (78 %) were polymorphic. Morphometric evaluation using 76 morphological characters showed high level of variability ranging from 0.18 to 1.00 (avg 0.39), whereas the Jaccard’s coefficient values of genetic similarity calculated from DAMD data ranged from 0.41 to 1.00 (avg 0.68), indicating moderate genetic divergence among the accessions studied. UPGMA dendrograms generated separately from morphometric and DAMD data segregated all the accessions of Citrus into four main clusters, each containing a true basic species and their probable hybrids. The grouping of individual accessions/genotypes under respective species or cultivars in DAMD dendrogram was based purely on their genetic relationships rather than geographical origin. There was no absolute congruence between the data and dendrograms generated from morphometric and DAMD analyses. The study demonstrates the resolving power of DAMD markers for discrimination of individual genotypes of Citrus under its respective species, hybrid or cultivar groups and inferring their genetic and phylogenetic relationships as well. This is the first report on application of DAMD markers in Citrus.  相似文献

Triple staining with the fluorochromes chromomycin A3, distamycin A and 4′-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (CMA/DA/DAPI) was applied to somatic metaphases and interphase nuclei of 11 taxa of wild chili peppers (Capsicum), with 2n = 2x = 24 (C. annuum var. glabriusculum, C. cardenasii, C. chacoense, C. flexuosum, C. galapagoense, C. eximium, C. praetermissum and C. tovarii) and 2n = 2x = 26 (C. recurvatum, C. rhomboideum and C. villosum) to analyse heterochromatin type, amount and distribution in wild members of this genus. Heterochromatic banding patterns allowed the identification of all the taxa examined and contributed to their taxonomic grouping. GC-rich heterochromatin (CMA+/DAPI?) was typical in all taxa; only C. praetermissum possessed also AT-rich (CMA?/DAPI+) and mixed GC- and AT-rich (CMA+/DAPI+) bands. Heterochromatin amount (expressed as % of karyotype length) ranged between 1.72 (C. chacoense) and 16.82 (C. flexuosum) and was positively correlated with karyotype length in most of the taxa examined. Heterochromatin located mainly at terminal position of chromosomes but intercalary position prevailed in C. flexuosum. Nucleolus organizer regions (NOR)-associated GC-rich heterochromatin was exclusively terminal and included the distal macrosatellite and a small portion on the corresponding arm. In all the taxa analysed, an equilocal heterochromatin distribution in non-homologous chromosomes of karyotype was observed, suggesting concerted evolution of heterochromatin dispersion in Capsicum.  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

A genomic DNA library enriched with GA/TC repeats from Camelina sativa variety Calena has been analysed. After sequencing of about 200 randomly selected clones, approximately 60 % of them showed to contain simple or compound microsatellites with a high number of repeats. Among all microsatellite markers analysed 15 primer pairs amplified polymorphic fragments. Forty C. sativa accessions of different origin were genotyped with 15 microsatellite markers that generated 134 alleles with an average of 8.93 alleles per locus. The observed heterozygosity (Ho) among the accessions ranged from 0.0 to 0.15 with an average of 0.0370, whereas the average of expected heterozygosity (He) among accessions was 0.2769. The analysis of the average total heterozygosity (HT = 0.651), the intrapopulation genetic diversity (HS = 0.260), the interpopulation genetic diversity (DST = 0.391) and the coefficient of genetic differentiation among populations (GST = 0.574) demonstrated that 57.4 % of the genetic diversity is among the accessions, while 42.6 % resides within them. Phylogenetic tree of the 40 C. sativa accessions was constructed based on Nei’s genetic distance. The unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) dendrogram shows, except for CAM108 and CAM170, a clear discrimination among C. sativa accessions grouping them in five subgroups. ANOVA analysis indicates significant differences in some biochemical and agronomic parameters among the C. sativa accessions grouped according to Nei’s genetic distance. The result of the Tukey HSD test demonstrated that the A4 subgroup showed a significant higher TWS and linoleic acid (LA) content, while the subgroup A1 showed a significant higher linolenic and lower LA content compared to the remaining groups.  相似文献

A total of 198 accessions representing 18 species of the genus Cajanus, assembled at the ICRISAT genebank, was characterized for 27 morpho-agronomic traits at ICRISAT farm, Patancheru, India. Newman–Keuls test of significance for mean values indicated significant differences among the species for one or more traits under study. Mean diversity for all traits was maximum in C. scarabaeoides (H′ = 0.590 ± 0.010). First three principal components (PCs) captured 84.3 % of total variation among all species. Cluster analysis resulted in three clusters. C. albicans and C. mollis formed Cluster 1; C. cajanifolius, C. crassus and C. platycarpus formed Cluster 2 and C. acutifolius, C. scarabaeoides, C. lineatus and C. sericeus formed Cluster 3. C. platycarpus for extra early flowering (34–40 days); C. scarabaeoides for early flowering (51–118 days); C. albicans for broad pods; C. mollis, C. albicans, C. cinereus for more seeds per pod (>6) and C. crassus, C. cajanifolius, C. mollis, C. platycarpus and C. albicans for high seed protein (>30 %) were found as promising sources. Long duration perennial species such as C. crassus, C. mollis and C. albicans are good sources for forage. Five accessions (ICP 15661, ICP 15664, ICP 15666, ICP 15668 and ICP 15671) of C. platycarpus, two accessions (ICP 15653 and ICP 15658) of C. mollis and one accession each of C. acutifolius (ICP 15611), C. albicans (ICP 15620), C. cajanifolius (ICP 15632), C. crassus (ICP 15768), C. lineatus (ICP 15646), C. scarabaeoides (ICP 15922) and C. sericeus (ICP 15760), found as promising for multiple trait combinations are useful in pigeonpea improvement programs.  相似文献

Genetic variations and relationships among cultivated and wild genotypes of five taxa of Indian Luffa were examined using inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR), directed amplification of minisatellite DNA (DAMD) markers and morphological characterization. Morphometric evaluation of 21 discrete characters in 51 representative accessions segregated the five taxa of Luffa in three main clusters: the two wild species (L. echinata, L. graveolens) in the first, and the cultivated L. aegyptiaca (smooth gourd) and L. acutangula (ridged gourd)/L. hermaphrodita (Hermaphrodite luffa) in the second and third clusters, respectively. Cumulative data analysis of 15 ISSR and seven DAMD markers revealed high percentage polymorphism (97.67 %), moderate genetic distance (0.06–0.72, avg. 0.51), and low heterozygosity and Shannon index values (H = 0.15; I = 0.22) across all the 76 genotypes assayed. A UPGMA dendrogram, based on the combined marker data, resolved the five taxa in two main clusters with high bootstrap support. The morphological and molecular trees showed incongruence in the number of main clusters resolved and in the disposition of the wild and cultivated taxa in different sub-clusters. The cluster analyses and PCoA plots revealed a nested grouping of the hermaphrodite luffa within the ridge gourd group. The Bayesian STRUCTURE analysis identified three genetic clusters for the five assumed taxa. Outcrossing test revealed a mixed mating system in Indian Luffa. This is the first ever report on the mating system in Luffa using molecular markers. The study also demonstrates the utility of using more than one DNA marker in the assessment of molecular diversity in a widely cultivated crop genus like Luffa with a narrow genetic base.  相似文献

The loci for expression of prolonged spikelet rachilla named ‘sham ramification’ in three tetraploid wheat accessions, two accessions of Triticum jakubzineri Udacz. et Schachm. (2n = 4× = 28, genome BBAA) ‘PI 585014’ and ‘R-101-03’ and one sample of Triticum turgidum L. (2n = 4× = 28, genome BBAA) ‘PI 67339’, were mapped by genotyping F2 populations using microsatellite markers. The segregation analysis confirmed that sham ramification was controlled by recessive, epistatic genes, shr1 (sham ramification 1) and shr2 (sham ramification 2). The genotypes of ‘sham ramification’ were shr1shr1Shr2Shr2 for T. jakubzineri and Shr1Shr1shr2shr2 for T. turgidum (PI 67339). Normal rachilla was determined by Shr1Shr1Shr2Shr2. The shr1 gene and the gene for extra glume (exg) were completely linked; and, the shr1/exg gene complex was bracketed by the markers Xbarc319 and Xbarc232 on the long arm of chromosome 5A. In the F2 of PI 67339/LD222 the gene shr2 was bracketed by Xwmc819 and Xwmc794 on the long arm of chromosome 2A.  相似文献

Abstract

The influence of 10 rootstocks on leaf elemental concentrations and their relationship with yield, tree growth, leaf fresh weight and dry matter of ‘Orlando’ tangelo (C. parodisi Macf. x C. reticulata Blanco) was studied under the arid climate of southwestern Arizona. ‘Orlando’ tangelo trees on Carrizo citrange [(C sinensis (L.) Osbeck x Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.], Yuma citrange (P. trifoliata x C. sinensis), Taiwanica (C. taiwanica) and Volkamer lemon (C. limon Burm f.) had larger canopy and higher yield than the trees on Savage citrange (P. trifoliata x C. sinensis), Ichang pummelo (C. ichangensis hyb.) and Palestine sweet lime (C. limettoides Tan.). Leaves of trees on Carrizo citrange were heavier but those on Savage citrange had higher percent dry matter than those on other rootstocks. Trees on macrophylla (Alemow) (C macrophylla Wester) had significantly higher leaf N and Mn while those on Carrizo, Yuma and Savage citranges had lower leaf N than the trees on other rootstocks. Trees on Volkamer lemon, rough lemon (C. jambhiri Lush), macrophylla and Palestine sweet lime had low leaf K but high leaf Mg. ‘Orlando’ trees on Carrizo citrange had the highest leaf Mg and Cu but the lowest leaf Mn. Considering mineral (elemental) uptake efficiency, tree growth and/or yield, Carrizo citrange, Volkamer lemon, Yuma citrange, rough lemon and Taiwanica are desirable for ‘Orlando’ tangelo under the arid conditions and sandy soils of the southwest United States. Macrophylla could only be used for a short term planting, while Savage citrange, Batangas mandarin (C. reticulata Blanco), Ichang pummelo and Palestine sweet lime are not recommended for planting under the arid conditions similar to those of this experiment.  相似文献

Variation of high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) in 28 Iranian Aegilops tauschii (2n = 2x = 14, DD) accessions studied by sodium dodecyl sulphate electrophoresis method (SDS-PAGE). The results showed high variation of HMW-GS in the accessions. The range of frequency in 14 HMW-GS combinations was 3.57–25 % in the accessions. AMOVA showed the molecular variance between the geographic areas was lower than within the geographic areas. According to Nei’s genetic diversity, the highest diversity levels were in Semnan, Golestan and Azarbayjan, on the other hand the lowest levels of diversity were found in Khorasan, Gilan and Mazandaran accessions. Hence, the Caspian Sea South East accessions also Azerbayjan in Iran have more diversity. AMOVA did not show variance between strangulata and tauschii but there was more genetic diversity in ssp. tauschii subspecies in comparison of ssp. strangulata according to Nei’s gene diversity and Shannon information index. It showed Iranian Ae. tauschii have a good potential for bread making quality improvement in bread wheat.  相似文献

Triploid onion, Allium × cornutum Clementi ex Visiani, 1842 (2n = 3x = 24), a vegetatively reproduced garden crop, possess a complex triparental genome organization with three putative parental species, A. cepa L., A. pskemense B. Fedtsch., and A. roylei Stearn. Two of its most studied clones are the Croatian ‘Ljutika’ and the Indian ‘Pran’, which are genetically highly similar. Earlier studies have shown that ‘Pran’ possesses some molecular markers in the chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) identical to those of the unique male-sterile (S) cytoplasm, used for onion breeding. To find out whether ‘Ljutika’ also possesses a S-type of cytoplasm, we analyzed several cpDNA and mitochondrial (mtDNA) molecular markers. The PCR amplification and RFLP analysis of the chloroplast genes accD, atpF, petB and the mitochondrial gene cob, as well as the sequence analysis of the chloroplast matK and atpB-rbcL regions showed that ‘Ljutika’ possesses the male-sterile S-type of cytoplasm. The phylogenetic analysis of the matK and atpB-rbcL sequences of A. × cornutum, its parental species and other Allium species of the section Cepa showed that none of the analyzed species had the identical type of cpDNA as A. × cornutum. Results also suggested that A. pskemense can be excluded as a donor of the S-cytoplasm and a female parent, whereas cpDNA of A. roylei, although not identical to S-cytoplasm, possessed many polymorphisms of S-type. Fluorescent in situ hybridization, using fluorescently labelled parental genomic DNAs as probes in combination with fluorescently labelled 5S and 35S rDNAs enabled simultaneous visualization of the three genomes during meiosis and confirmed their homeologus intergenomic pairing.  相似文献

Fine-leaved Festuca valesiaca Schleich. ex Gaudin (2n = 2x–4x) is native to heavily-grazed, cold, semi-arid, Asian rangelands. However, its potential for low-maintenance turf applications in the semi-arid western United States and its relatedness to other agriculturally important Festuca species have not been investigated. Therefore, a project was designed to identify F. valesiaca accessions that possess horticultural potential when grown under semi-arid growing conditions and to characterize their relatedness to other Festuca species. In 2008, 12 F. valesiaca accessions originating from Kyrgyzstan and eight US. Festuca and one Lolium cultivar were transplanted as replicated, spaced plants to a field nursery at Blue Creek, Utah. Relative vigor, height, width, total biomass (aboveground dry matter yield), seed weight, and seed number were evaluated between 2009 and 2011. Plant height, width, and total biomass of the F. valesiaca accessions examined were approximately equal to the commercial control, ‘Cascade’ (F. rubra L. subsp. commutata Gaudin; 6x; chewings fescue). Plant vigor and seed weight of F. valesiaca accessions PI 659923, PI 659932, W6 30575, and W6 30588 under semi-arid conditions (~300 mm annual precipitation) were significantly (P < 0.05) greater than ‘Cascade’. Moreover, principal component analysis based on all traits as loading factors indicated that these 12 F. valesiaca accessions were distinct from a majority of the other Festuca accessions examined. These F. valesiaca accessions produced abundant amounts of small seed, and this seed yield was significantly correlated with total aboveground biomass (dry weight; r 2  = 0.84, P < 0.001), plant height (r 2  = 0.58, P < 0.05), and plant vigor (r 2  = 0.83, P < 0.001). Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis (1,454 polymorphic bands) was used to characterize F. valesiaca relatedness to other economically important Festuca species. The AFLP-based, neighbor-joining analysis differentiated F. valesiaca accessions from US Festuca cultivars examined, except for ‘Durar’ (F. ovina L.; 6x; sheep fescue), to which they had strong genetic affinities. Given their morphological attributes, F. valesiaca PI 659923, W6 30575, PI 659932, and W6 30588 should be considered for use in low-maintenance, semi-arid turf improvement programs in the western US.  相似文献

Soil samples were collected in June and October from areas with three land-use types, i.e., Robinia pseudoacacia L. (RP), Caragana korshinskii Kom. (CK), and abandoned land (AL), of which the former two were afforested areas, whereas the latter was not. These areas were converted from similar farmlands 40 years prior. Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA gene and fungal ITS gene was used to analyze soil bacterial and fungal diversity. Additionally, plant communities, soil properties, fine root biomass, and C, N, and P levels in fine root and microbial biomass were estimated. Compared to AL, the C:N:P stoichiometry in fine root and microbial biomass in the afforested lands was synchronously changed, especially the N:P ratio. Soil microbial diversities were affected by afforestation and were more related to N:P ratio than C:P and C:N ratios. Moreover, Alpha-proteobacteria, Gamma-proteobacteria, and Bacteroidetes were significantly more abundant in afforested soils than in the AL soil, and the abundances of Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Cyanobacteria, and Nitrospirae ranked as AL > RP or CK. For fungal taxa, Ascomycota abundance responded positively to afforestation, whereas Basidiomycota abundance responded negatively. Changes of soil microbial taxa were significantly correlated with the N:P ratio in fine root and microbial biomass, which explained 54.1 and 55% of the total variation in bacterial and fungal taxa, respectively. Thus, our results provide evidence that compositions of soil microbial communities are linked to the N:P ratio in the plant-soil system.  相似文献

Developing a molecular tool kit for hybrid breeding of Osmanthus species and related genera is an important step in creating a systematic breeding program for this species. To date, molecular resources have been aimed solely at Osmanthus fragrans with little work to develop markers for other species and cultivars. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine cross-transferability of O. fragrans and Chionanthus retusus derived SSRs in diverse Osmanthus taxa, (2) quantify the influence of locus-specific factors on cross-transferability, and (3) determine the genetic relationships between accessions. We tested 70 SSR markers derived from O. fragrans and C. retusus in 24 accessions of Osmanthus. Sixty-seven markers showed transfer to at least one other Osmanthus species with an overall transfer rate of 84% of loci across taxa. Genotyping with 42 microsatellite markers yielded a total of 367 loci. Number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 17 with a mean of 8.7 ± 4.8. Mean observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.560 ± 0.225 and 0.688 ± 0.230, respectively. Percent of polymorphic loci ranged from 40% in Osmanthus delavayi to 100% in O. fragrans. Osmanthus fragrans had the highest mean number of alleles per locus (4.2) while O. delavayi had the lowest (1.1). A reduced suite of eight-markers can distinguish between accessions with non-exclusion probabilities of identity from 3.91E?04 to 2.90E?07. The SSR markers described herein will be immediately useful to characterize germplasm, identify hybrids, and aid in understanding the level of genetic diversity and relationships within the cultivated germplasm.  相似文献

Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) is a perennial forage legume that possesses beneficial properties in the context of sustainable agriculture. A germplasm collection of O. viciifolia was assembled from many geographic regions, as well as a collection of Onobrychis species that might be crossed with O. viciifolia to improve its biological and agronomic properties. The objective of the present study was to obtain cytological information for a broad range of O. viciifolia varieties and related species, in order to confirm and extend previous findings. The study set was 143 accessions of O. viciifolia as well as 34 accessions of 17 other species from the Onobrychis genus. Three of the O. viciifolia accessions were diploid (2n = 2x = 14) and the remainder tetraploid (2n = 4x = 28). Chromosomes were <5 μm in length. Among the other Onobrychis species, roughly half were found to be diploid and the other half tetraploid, with two species, O. arenaria (Kit.) DC. and O. alba subsp. laconica (Orph. ex Boiss.) Hayek, including a mixture of diploid and tetraploid accessions. The basic number of chromosomes was seven, except for O. aequidentata (Sm.) d’Urv. and O. crista-galli Lam., where it was eight. The 2C value for O. viciifolia was estimated at 2.5 pg. These cytological data will be valuable as part of a pre-breeding programme aimed at the eventual production of improved O. viciifolia varieties for use in sustainable agriculture.  相似文献

Andrographis paniculata [(Burm. f.) Wall. ex Nees, family Acanthaceae], commonly known as kalmegh is used both in Ayurvedic and Unani system of medicines for a number of ailments related to digestion, hepatoprotection, hypoglycaemic and as anti-bacterial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, vermicidal and antipyretic. Although kalmegh is extensively used in Indian Systems of Medicine, but it is not yet cultivated on a large-scale. The supply of herb is met from the wild growing populations which is now under constrain due to over-collection. Considering its value as a drug raw material, genetic variability of A. paniculata was augmented from different geographical regions of India by explorations and was conserved at the National Gene Bank, NBPGR, New Delhi. The therapeutic activity of the herb has been attributed to andrographolide, a bicyclic diterpenoid lactone present in the whole herb. Thirty germplasm collections of A. paniculata were evaluated for bioactive compound andrographolide to find out superior genotype for high drug yield. The andrographolide content in the germplasm was quantitatively analyzed by high performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) at 232 nm. Results indicated wide variability among thirty accessions of A. paniculata for andrographolide content which ranged from 0.72 to 2.99 % on dry weight basis. DIVA-GIS analysis of A. paniculata germplasm for andrographolide content showed that diverse accessions of A. paniculata exist in three Indian states of Orissa, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Promising accessions having high andrographolide content were identified; IC520361 (2.99 %), IC520395 (2.86 %), IC399125 (2.81 %), IC369404 (2.77 %) and IC520394 (2.61 %). Due to the economic importance of the drug, these promising collections can be exploited for large-scale cultivation for their pharmacologically important constituents mainly andrographolide content and also can serve as potential source for breeding and improvement of cultivars for obtaining higher drug yield.  相似文献

We report here the first broad genetic characterization of farmer-developed landraces of melon (Cucumis melo L.) from the Indo-Gangetic plains of India, an area overlooked in previous melon genetic diversity analyses of Indian melon germplasm. Eighty-eight landraces from three melon Groups in two subspecies (C. melo subsp. agrestis Momordica Group, and C. melo subsp. melo Cantalupensis Group and Reticulatus Group) were collected from the four agro-ecological regions (six sub-regions) of two northern states of the Indo-Gangetic plains of India, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Significant differences were found among the landraces and eight USA Reticulatus Group reference cultivars for 18 plant and fruit traits: no. of primary branches per plant, days to marketable maturity, sex expression, fruit shape, flesh colour, netting, no. of fruit per plant, fruit weight, shelf life, total soluble solids (°Bx), ascorbic acid (mg/100 g), titratable acidity (%), fruit length and diameter, seed cavity length and diameter, flesh thickness, and resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus. The three melon groups differed significantly for 10 of the plant and fruit traits. Cantalupensis Group and Reticulatus Group accessions were andromonoecious, and the Momordica Group was monoecious. Neighbour-joining (NJ) tree and factorial correspondence analysis (FCA) of simple sequence repeat loci also revealed a high level of genetic variability in this germplasm. The 96 melon genotypes clustered into five groups in the NJ tree analysis: the 16 Indian Reticulatus Group accessions and eight USA reference cultivars formed a distinct group; and the 60 Cantalupensis Group accessions clustered in four other groups with the 12 Momordica Group accessions in a distinct subgroup of one of the Cantalupensis groups. The FCA plot largely confirmed the NJ tree with three distinct groups, one for each melon group. The close affinity of the Indian and USA Reticulatus melons was not unexpected, but it is not clear whether it was inherent in the group and maintained as Reticulatus melons moved from India through Central Asia and Europe to North America, or the result of recent intercrossing of Indian landraces with the USA-derived cultivars and selection for a broad range of Reticulatus type melons.  相似文献
