Combining ability for some important physiological parameters in sesame were examined to understand the nature of gene action
and to identify parents for breeding programme. Seven diverse genotypes of sesame, their 21 F1s and 21 F2s were grown in summer, 2003, in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data were collected on leaf area
index (LAI) at 30, 45, 60 and 75 days after sowing (DAS), crop growth rate (CGR) estimated between 30–45 DAS, 45–60 DAS and
60–75 DAS, days to peak flowering (DPF), duration of flowering (DF), duration from peak flowering to maturity (DFM), oil content
in percentage (OC) and oil yield (OY) plant−1. Analysis of combining ability was done on the above physiological characters following Method-2, Model-I of Griffing (Aust
J Biol Sci 9:463–493 1956). Variances due to general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for all the physiological traits
were highly significant in both F1 and F2 generations indicating importance of both additive and non-additive gene actions for the inheritance of all the physiological
characters in both F1 and F2 generations. Preponderance of non-additive gene action was recorded for CGRs, LAI 3, LAI 4, DPF, DF and OY in both the F1 and the F2 generations. For OC additive gene action was predominant in F1 while non-additive gene action in F2. The genotype OS-Sel-2 appeared as best overall general combiner in both the F1 and the F2 generations. For DPF, DF and DFM, the variety B 67 was best general combiner, followed by CST 2002, which could be utilized
for developing early flowering and early maturing lines with determinate growth habit. Association between GCA-effects and
mean performance of the parents suggested that the performance per se could be a good indicator of its ability to transmit
the desirable attributes to its progenies. Crosses CST 2002 × TKG 22, CST 2002 × MT 34, MT 34 × AAUDT 9304-14-4, AAUDT 9304-14-4 × B
67, TKG 22 × Rama and TKG 22 × B 67 which showed high SCA-effect for OY, also exhibited positive and significant SCA-effects
for other physiological component characters in F1 generation. The overall results indicated that crosses CST 2002 × TKG 22 and MT 34 × AAUDT 9304-14-4 could be utilized for
development of high oil yielding hybrids. The crosses OS-Sel-2 × AAUDT 9304-14-4, AAUDT 9304-14-4 × B 67 and MT 34 × OS-Sel-2
could be promising for isolation of superior recombinants for high oil yield coupled with early maturity and other growth
characters in advanced generations of segregation.

Fusarium root rot (FRR) is a major disease of common bean worldwide. Knowledge of the inheritance of resistance to FRR would be important
in devising strategies to breed resistant varieties. Therefore, a 12 × 12 full diallel mating scheme with reciprocal crosses
was performed to generate 132 F1 progenies, which were then advanced to the F3. The progenies were evaluated for resistance to FRR under green house conditions in Uganda. General combining ability (GCA)
effects were highly significant (P ≤ 0.01) for disease scores. Specific combining ability effects were not significant (P > 0.05) in the F1, but were highly significant (P < 0.01) in the F3 generation. These results indicate that resistance to FRR was governed by genes with additive effects in combination with
genes with non-additive effects. Reciprocal differences were also significant (P = 0.01) at F1 and F3, primarily reflecting a large influence of maternal effects in both these generations. In fact, susceptible parents did not
differ significantly (P > 0.05) for disease scores when used as paternal parents in the F3, but differed strongly as maternal parents (P = 0.0002). Generally, the progenies were distinctly more resistant when the resistant parent was used as the female in crosses,
especially as observed in the F3. The maternal effects were strong in the F3 generation, suggesting a complex form of cytoplasmic–genetic interaction. The non-maternal reciprocal effects in the F3 were significant (P < 0.05) in both the resistant × resistant diallel, and in the resistant × susceptible crosses. Mid-parent heterosis (MPH)
occurred in most crosses, with average heterosis approximately equal in each of the three generations, indicating that epistasis
was probably more influential than dominance of individual genes. Gene-number formulas indicated that several genes were involved
in resistant × susceptible crosses. Among resistant × resistant crosses, many produced continuous distributions of F1 progeny scores, suggesting polygenic inheritance, while bi-modal distributions were characteristic of the F3 distributions, and fit expected ratios for two or three loci segregating in each cross. Dominant forms of epistasis favoring
resistance were strongly indicated. Parent–offspring heritability estimates were moderate. Overall, the results indicate that
resistant parents contain a number of different resistance genes that can be combined with the expectation of producing strong
and durable resistance. The lines MLB-49-89A, MLB-48-89, RWR719 and Vuninkingi, with large and negative GCA effects, contributed
high levels of resistance in crosses and would be recommended for use in breeding programs. 相似文献

Eight cross combinations of Zinnia elegans were made using two recessive nuclear male sterile lines crossed with four restorers using the North Carolina Design II statistical
method. Heterosis, combining ability and heritability was analysed using 12 horticultural traits and these demonstrated the
advantage of heterosis in hybrid breeding of Zinnia elegans. Heterosis served to increase the number of whorls of ray florets across capitulum and the number of branches, and also decreased
plant height, crown size, pedicel length and length of node. Thus, six horticultural traits were improved over mid parent
and best parent status to fulfill major breeding goals of this herbaceous flower. The traits of plant height, number of whorls
of ray florets across capitulum and pedicel length were primarily controlled by paternal additive effects, whereas crown size
was mainly controlled by non-additive effects. Number of branches and length of node were affected both by paternal additive
effects and non-additive effects. The ratio of general combining ability to specific combining ability indicated the importance
of additive genes in the expression of these traits. Among the parental lines, AH003A and restorer A3 were chosen as primary
female and male combiners, respectively. AH001A and restorer S5 were chosen as secondary combiners. The cross AH003A × A3
was determined as the most promising combination for producing potted plant characteristics, and AH001A × S5 was the best
hybrid obtained in this study for cut flower traits. The analysis of combining ability for the parental lines showed that
there was no causal relationship between general combining ability and specific combining ability effects. 相似文献

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the relationship between the genetic distances (GD) and phenotypic distances (PD)
of parents and the specific combining ability (SCA) and heterosis effects. The experiment comprised 18 parental genotypes
of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and 76 F2 hybrids, obtained after crossing in a line × tester scheme. Parents and hybrids were examined in a field experiment conducted
in a block design with three replications. SCA as well as mid-parent heterosis effects were estimated for selected morphological
and technological traits. PDs and GDs were investigated between pairs of parental genotypes. GD between parental genotypes
was evaluated by using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA markers. Heterosis was observed in all hybrids, and protein content
exhibited the highest heterosis among the seven examined traits. The relationship between PD and GD as well as the SCA and
mid-parent heterosis effects were evaluated using correlation coefficient. The correlation between PD, SCA and heterosis were
low and not significant for the examined traits, whereas the correlation between SCA, heterosis and GDs were significant for
protein content and rheological properties. The results indicate that GDs between parents can be used to predict performance
of hybrids for selected technological traits. 相似文献

Three CMS lines, Ogu1A, Ogu2A and Ogu3A were selected among ten lines after BC7 based on superior commercial, floral and seed setting traits. Introgression of sterile Ogura cytoplasm in cauliflower nuclear
background reduced the flower size but did not affect commercial and seed setting traits drastically. Line × Tester analysis
was done by taking these three CMS lines free from floral deformities as female parent with nine diverse lines of snowball
cauliflower as tester. The parent Ogu2A exhibited highest GCA effect for curd yield (4.51) and harvest index (1.97) while
Ogu1A exhibited highest GCA for earliness (−2.73). The parent, Ogu2A exhibited significant GCA for curd length (0.39) while,
none of the CMS lines showed significant GCA for curd diameter and depth. Heterosis for curd yield was highest in the hybrid,
Ogu2A × Kt-22 (63.5%) followed by Ogu1A × WF (36.9%) and Ogu1A × Kt-15 was the best hybrid for earliness followed by Ogu3A × Kt-22
with heterosis of −14.4% and −11.7%. However, the number of heterotic hybrids for yield and earliness was low indicating narrow
genetic base of the snowball cauliflower. 相似文献

The Brassica vegetable crops are rich source of important antioxidant compounds having anticancer and health promoting properties. Development of F1 hybrids with better nutritional traits is one of the main breeding objectives in different vegetable crops. Our study is the first report of determining heterotic combinations utilizing cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) and doubled haploid (DH) inbred lines for antioxidant compounds in snowball cauliflower. Twenty genetically diverse Ogura CMS lines of cauliflower and six DH male fertile inbred lines were crossed to develop 120 F1 hybrids in line?×?tester mating design. The resulting 120 test cross progenies along with 26 parents and 4 standard checks were evaluated in 10?×?15 alpha lattice design with three replications during next cropping season. The CMS lines Ogu33-1A, Ogu122-5A and Ogu119-1A were good general combiner and CMS line Ogu118-6A was poor general combiner for majority of traits. Most of the heterotic hybrids were associated with high positive SCA effects. The proportions of σ2A/D and \(\upsigma^{2}_{\text{gca}} /\upsigma^{2}_{\text{sca}}\) ratios were less than unity in all the cases indicating preponderance of non-additive gene action in the genetic control of all the traits. Highest number of heterotic hybrids with SCA effects in desired positive direction was recorded for ascorbic acid content and phenolic content followed by total carotenoid content. The F1 hybrids with better combining ability and better per se performance could be useful in accumulation of favourable allele for higher concentration of important anti-oxidant compounds. 相似文献

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a major food and cash crop mainly grown by small-scale farmers in the highland regions of Uganda. Changing global weather patterns require varieties that are able to grow within the short rainfall cycles and yield optimally under the prevailing conditions. The objectives of this study were to estimate the combining ability effects for early maturity, yield and yield related traits in potato. Eighteen F1 families generated from two sets of 12 parents using a North Carolina Design II were evaluated for days to 50% flowering, leaf senescence, yield and yield related traits in two different locations. Both additive and non-additive genetic effects influenced the expression of traits. However, additive genetic effects were predominant over the non-additive for most of the traits. The GCA/SCA ratios were 0.68 and 0.78 for days to 50% flowering and average tuber weight. Broad sense heritability estimates were 0.70 for total tuber weight and 0.78 for days to 50% flowering. The predominance of additive genetic effects imply that, genetic gains can be achieved through different selection methods and traits transferred to the respective progenies. Parents Rwangume, 396,038.107, 395,011.2, NKRK19.17, 393,077.54, Kimuri, and 392,657.8 had desirable GCA effects for the number of days to flowering and yield related traits. Families of Rwangume?×?NKRK19.17, 393,077.54?×?395,011.2, 396,038.107?×?Rwangume and 396,038.107?×?395,011.2 had desirable SCA effects for yield and number of days to 50% flowering. The selected parents and families will be subjected to further clonal evaluation and selection. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to estimate the general and specific combining ability of peppers by measuring fruit quality and yield traits. This experiment was carried out on the garden field from Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV), Minas Gerais State—Brazil. Eight lines of Capsicum baccatum belonging to the UFV Horticultural Germplasm Bank were chosen based on their broad genetic and phenotypical background variation and then they were crossed in a complete diallel way. The F1 seeds of the 56 hybrids and eight parents were planted in the field in a randomized complete block design. The data were submitted to ANOVA and the means were grouped by Scott–Knott test (P ≤ 0.01). Significant variation for fruit quality and yield components was observed among parents and F1 generation. Analysis of variance for the combining ability showed that GCA effects exhibited significant difference and SCA effects of the crosses were significant, except for the height of first bifurcation. For almost all characters both additive and non-additive effects influenced the performance of hybrids. 相似文献

Phytophthora root and stem rot caused by Phytophthora sojae, is one of the most damaging diseases of soybean, for which management is principally done by planting resistant cultivars
with race specific resistance which are conferred by Rps (Resistance to Phytophthora sojae) genes. The Rps8 locus, identified in the South Korean landrace PI 399073, is located in a 2.23 Mbp region on soybean chromosome 13. In eight
cv. Williams (rps8/rps8) × PI 399073 (Rps8/Rps8) populations, this region exhibited strong segregation distortion. In a cross between the South Korean lines PI 399073 (Rps8/Rps8) and PI 408211B (multiple Rps genes) this region segregated in a Mendelian fashion. In this study, microsporogenesis was evaluated to identify meiotic
abnormalities that may be associated with the segregation distortion of the Rps8 region. Pollen was collected from greenhouse-grown plants of the parental genotypes: Williams, PI 399073, and PI 408211B;
as well as selected Rps8/rps8 RILs from Williams × PI 399073 BC4F2:3 and PI 399073 × PI 408211B F4:5 populations. There were no differences for pollen viability among the genotypes. However, for PI 399073, a mix of dyads,
triads, tetrads and pentads was observed. A high frequency of meiotic abnormalities including fragments, laggards, multinucleated
microspores; and microcytes containing DNA was also observed in Rps8/rps8 Williams × PI 399073 BC4F2:3 RILs. These meiotic abnormalities may contribute to the high degree of segregation distortion present in the Williams × PI
399073 populations. 相似文献

Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is an economically important virus disease causing significant losses to cassava root yield and quality in east, central and southern Africa. Breeding for resistance in cassava requires an understanding of the underlying genetic control of CBSD resistance. Sources of CBSD resistance are available but little is known on the value of those varieties as parents for CBSD resistance breeding. Two resistant and two susceptible varieties were crossed in a half diallel design and 35 F1 progeny from each of the six families, plus parents, were screened at two locations in a randomised complete block design with four replications in warm sub-humid environments of coastal Tanzania in 2008. Screening for CBSD field resistance was done using disease severity scoring on a scale of 1–5. Significant variations in disease severity were observed for crosses, general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) at both locations. The CBSD shoot symptom severity scores ranged from 1 to 4.4 while root necrosis ranged from 1.3 to 4.5. The contribution of GCA to the total sum of squares of crosses for disease scores ranged from 86.9 to 95.2 % compared to SCA that ranged from 4.8 to 14.2 %. Additive gene effects were more important than non-additive effects indicating that CBSD resistance is genetically determined and that selection should be successful to improve resistance. Selection of parents with good GCA effects will be important for success in CBSD resistance breeding. 相似文献

A self-incompatible (SI) line, S-1300, and its maintainer 97-wen135, a self-compatible (SC) line, were used to study the inheritance
of maintenance for self-incompatibility in B. napus. The ratio of SI plants to SC plants from S-1300 × 97-wen135 F2 and (S-1300 × 97-wen135) × 97-wen135 was 346:260 and 249:232, fitting the expected ratio of 9:7 and 1:1, respectively. Based
on these observations, here we propose a genetic model in which two independent loci, S locus and S suppressor locus (sp), are predicted to control the inheritance of maintenance for self-incompatibility in B. napus. The genotypes of S-1300 and 97-wen135 are S

, respectively. S
135
is dominant to S

and S
135
can be suppressed by sp
135
, while sp
1300
can suppress S
135
but not S
1300
. The model contains two characteristics: that a dominant S locus exists in self-compatible B. napus, and that co-suppression will occur when sp loci are heterozygous. The model has been validated by the segregation of S phenotypes in the (S-1300 × 97-wen135) × S-1300, the progenies of SC S-1300 × 97-wen135 F2 plants and DH population developed from S-1300 × 97-wen135 F1. This is the first study to report co-suppression of S suppressor loci in B. napus. The genetic model will be very useful for developing molecular markers linked to maintenance for self-incompatibility and
for dissecting the mechanism of SI/SC in B. napus. 相似文献

Gene effects of resistance to two isolates of Phytophthora
nicotianae in two crosses of pepper were investigated using separate generation means analysis. Additive-dominance models were inadequate
in all cases. Digenic parameter models were adequate in three cases and the probability of goodness of fit of models was negatively
correlated with the aggressiveness of the pathogen. None of these models explained variation among generation means in the
combined cross Beldi × CM334 with P.
nicotianae isolate Pn2. Additive × additive, dominance × dominance and dominance × additive effects were significant in most cases. Additive and
dominance effects (of negative sign) contribute more to resistance than to susceptibility. Additive variance was greater than
environmental and dominance variance and ranged from 0.038 to 0.224. Narrow-sense heritabilities were dependent upon the cross
and inoculate and ranged from 86 to 92%. The results of this study indicate that selection with more aggressive isolates of
the pathogen will be useful for enhancing resistance in pepper. 相似文献

Maize (Zea mays L.) is grown on 15 million ha in eastern and southern Africa. Several diseases are of common occurrence in the region and
regularly result in significant yield losses. A collaborative regional disease nursery (REGNUR) project was initiated in 1998
to identify and increase access to disease resistant germplasm, generate and disseminate information on disease and insect
resistance sources, and facilitate the development of resistant cultivars by project partners. A diallel among 12 elite inbred
lines was formed with the specific objective of evaluating the combining ability of these inbred lines for grain yield and
resistance to seven diseases. The trial was grown at six sites in 2001. Results showed that both general (GCA) and specific
combining ability effects were significant for most diseases. On the average, GCA accounted for 69% of resistance to diseases
and only 37% of variation for grain yield. Correlations between GCA effects for disease scores were generally non-significant,
implying that it is possible to pyramid genes for disease resistance in inbred lines. This underscores the need for screening
for resistance to prevailing diseases using artificial inoculation or reliable hot-spots. Based on GCA effects for grain yield
and across diseases, P12 and P6 were the best inbred lines. The crosses P4 × P9 (6.7 t ha−1) and P4 × P12 (6.9 t ha−1) were the best hybrids in the earlier maturity group, while P3 × P9 (8.3 t ha−1) and P2 × P8 (7.4 t ha−1) were the best hybrids in the late maturity group. 相似文献

Crown rust, which is caused by Puccinia
coronata f. sp. avenae, P. Syd. & Syd., is the most destructive disease of cultivated oats (Avena
sativa L.) throughout the world. Resistance to the disease that is based on a single gene is often short-lived because of the extremely
great genetic diversity of P. coronata, which suggests that there is a need to develop oat cultivars with several resistance genes. This study aimed to identify
amplified fragment length polymorphism AFLP markers that are linked to the major resistance gene, Pc68, and to amplify the F6 genetic map from Pc68/5*Starter × UFRGS8. Seventy-eight markers with normal segregation were discovered and distributed in
12 linkage groups. The map covered 409.4 cM of the Avena
sativa genome. Two AFLP markers were linked in repulsion to Pc68: U8PM22 and U8PM25, which flank the gene at 18.60 and 18.83 centiMorgans (cM), respectively. The marker U8PM25 is located
in the linkage group 4_12 in the Kanota × Ogle reference oat population. These markers should be useful for transferring Pc68 to genotypes with good agronomic characteristics and for pyramiding crown rust resistance genes. 相似文献

Powdery mildew is one of the most important melon pathogens all over the world. So far, many genes conferring resistance to
powdery mildew of melon have been described, but few of these have been finely mapped or cloned. Two F2 populations derived from Ano2 × Hami413 and Ano2 × Queen were used to map the powdery mildew resistance gene by methods of
Bulked Segregation Analysis (BSA), comparative genomics and Resistance Gene Analogues (RGA) mapping. It was found that the
resistance to powdery mildew in Ano2 was conferred by a dominant gene, and the gene was named Pm-AN. The genetic analysis revealed that Pm-AN located between two codominant markers RPW and MRGH63B in linkage groupV. The genetic distances between Pm-AN and these two markers were 1.4–1.8 and 1.6–2 cM. No recombination was found between Pm-AN and markers ME/E1, SRAP23. Pm-AN was located in a RGA-rich region and cosegregated with the RGA marker MRGH5 and the resistance gene Vat. Synteny analysis showed that markers in this region were collinear between melon and cucumber. Segregation distortion was
found in this region using both Ano2 × Hami413 and Ano2 × Queen F2 populations, and the distortion was more distinct in Ano2 × Hami413 F2 population. The center of segregation distortion was located in the RGA rich region harboring Pm-AN. 相似文献

The F
1 and F
2 generations of a twenty parent fractional diallel cross of opium poppy (P. somniferum L.) were analyzed for combining ability for ten quantitative and five quality (alkaloids) traits. The results indicated significant
differences among the parents for combining ability for all the traits. The GCA and SCA components of variances were significant
for all the characters. However, the SCA component of variance (δ
2s) was predominant indicating the preponderance of non-additive gene effect for all the traits except for leaves/plant and
papaverine in F1 hybrids. The average degree of dominance (δ
2s/δ
2g) was more than unity indicating over dominance and also confirming non-additive mode of gene action. Among the parents IS-16,
IS-13 and NBRI-1 for early flowering, BR226 and BR241 for branches/plant, capsule weight/plant, seed yield/plant and husk
yield/plant, BR227 for leaves/plant, UO1285 for capsule size and opium yield/plant, NBRI-5 for husk yield/plant, morphine,
codeine, and thebaine and ‘Papline’ for plant height and papaverine content were found good general combiners. Parent ND1001
was good combiner for codeine and narcotine content. Inclusion of good general combiners in a multiple crossing program or
an intermating population involving all the possible crosses among them subjected to bi-parental mating may be expected to
offer maximum promise in breeding for higher opium, seed yield and alkaloid contents. 相似文献

Nematodes cause substantial grain yield loss in susceptible maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars. This study was conducted to estimate general combining ability (GCA), specific combining ability (SCA) and
genetic effects associated with nematode resistance in maize. The 30 F
1 hybrids generated from a 6 × 6 diallel and two local checks were evaluated in 2009 at three sites in Uganda. A split plot
design was used with nematode treatments serving as whole plots and the hybrids as subplots but arranged in an 8 × 4 spatially
adjusted alpha-lattice design. The experiment was replicated three times. Results showed GCA to be important for the reduction
of P. zeae and Meloidogyne spp. densities and increase of root mass, with a contribution of 72 to 93% of the phenotypic variance. Inbreds MP709 and
CML206 had the highest GCA for Pratylenchus zeae resistance, whereas for grain yield, it was CML444, CML312 and CML395 that were outstanding. The SCA influenced plant height
and grain yield under nematode infestation, contributing 43 and 58% of the phenotypic variance, respectively. Observed reciprocal
differences due to maternal effects also played a role in influencing the grain yield under nematode infestation. Overdominance
genetic effects explained the non-additive variance recorded for the plant height, grain yield, number of root lesions, and
P. zeae and Meloidogyne spp. densities under nematode infestation. The parents MP709, CML206, 5057, and CML444 contributed most of the dominant genes
for the P. zeae resistance in all their crosses. The parent CML444 contributed most of the dominant genes for improved grain yield in all
of its crosses. The high GCA effects among some parents support their utility in breeding of widely adapted nematode-resistant
cultivars. The dominant genes and SCA effects would favour pedigree and various sib tests to improve grain yield under nematode
pressure. 相似文献

Preliminary field observations in our maize breeding nurseries indicated that breeding for improved resistance to gibberella
ear rot (Fusarium graminearum) in maize may indirectly select for resistance to another ear disease, common smut (Ustilago zeae). To investigate this, we compared the disease severity ratings obtained on 189 maize inbreds, eight of which included our
inbreds developed with selection for gibberella ear rot resistance after field inoculation and breeding for 8–10 years. No
correlation was found between disease severities for the 189 inbreds but the eight gibberella-resistant lines were consistently
more resistant to smut. To further examine this relationship and to determine if these eight inbreds would be useful for developing
inbreds with either common smut or fusarium ear rot (F. verticilliodes) resistance, we conducted a Griffing’s diallel analysis on six inbreds of maize, four with high levels of gibberella ear
rot resistance representing all of the pedigree groups in our eight gibberella lines, and two with very low levels. Our most
gibberella ear rot resistant inbreds, CO433 and CO441, had the lowest disease ratings for all three diseases, the consistently
largest general combining ability effects and several significant specific combining ability effects. It was concluded that
some inbreds bred specifically for gibberella ear rot would also be useful in breeding for resistance to common smut and fusarium
ear rot. 相似文献

Nicotiana wuttkei Clarkson and Symon discovered in the 1990s in Australia may be of potential interest to breeders as it carries resistance
to Peronospora hyoscyami de Bary. The crossability between N. wuttkei (2n = 4x = 32) and three N. tabacum (2n = 4x = 48) cultivars (‘Puławski 66’, ‘Wiślica’ and ‘TN 90’) and the morphology and cytology of their amphihaploid hybrids (2n = 4x = 40) were studied. Seeds were produced only when N. wuttkei was used as the maternal parent, but under normal germination all seedlings died. Viable F1 hybrids of N. wuttkei × N. tabacum cv. ‘Puławski’ and N. wuttkei × N. tabacum cv. ‘Wiślica’ were obtained only by in vitro cotyledon culture. The amphihaploid plants were intermediate between the parents
for most morphological traits. In 46.4% of the PMC’s, only univalents were present. The remainder of the cells had 1–5 bivalents
and 1–2 trivalents. In spite of a detectable frequency of monads (2.6%), dyads (2.6%) and triads (4.5%), the hybrids were
self and cross sterile. 相似文献

Striga is an important parasitic weed causing substantial economic losses in cereal and legume crop production in sub-Saharan Africa. Integrated Striga management approaches such as a combined use of Striga resistant varieties and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. strigae (FOS), a biocontrol agent of Striga, are an option to control the parasite and to boost sorghum productivity. Understanding host gene action influencing Striga resistance, with or without FOS treatment, is key to developing improved sorghum varieties with durable resistance and high yield. The objective of this study was to determine the gene action and inheritance of Striga resistance using genetically diverse populations of sorghum involving FOS treatment. Twelve sorghum parents selected for Striga resistance, FOS compatibility or superior agronomic performances were crossed using a bi-parental mating scheme. The selected male and female parents and their F1 progenies, backcross derivatives and the F2 segregants were field evaluated at three locations in Tanzania known for their severe Striga infestations using a lattice experimental design with two replications. The following data were collected and subjected to generation mean analysis (GMA): days-to-50% flowering (DFL), seed yield per plant (SYP) and number of Striga per plant (SN). GMA showed the preponderance of additive genetic action contributing to the total genetic variation in the evaluated sorghum populations. The additive genetic effect for DFL, SYP and SN, with and without FOS treatments, ranged from 72.02 to 86.65% and 41.49 to 95.44%, 75.62 to 91.42% and 71.83 to 91.89%, and 77.35 to 93.56% and 72.86 to 95.84%, in that order. The contribution of non-additive genetic effects was minimal and varied among generations. FOS application reduced DFL and SN and improved SYP in most of the tested sorghum populations. DFL of sorghum populations was reduced by a mean of 8 days under FOS treatment compared to the untreated control in families such as 675 × 654, AS435 × AS426 and 1563 × AS436. FOS treatment improved SYP with a mean of 6.44 g plant?1 in 3424 × 3993 and 3984 × 672. The numbers of Striga plants were reduced with a mean of 16 plants due to FOS treatment in the crosses of 675 × 654, 1563 × AS436, 4567 × AS424, and 3984 × 672. The study demonstrated that additive genes were predominantly responsible for the inheritance of Striga resistance in sorghum. Pure line cultivar development targeting reduced DFL, SN and high SYP in the selected populations may provide enhanced response to selection for integrated Striga management (ISM) programme. 相似文献
