The pollen germination and pollen tube growth among nine Pistacia genotypes was quantified in order to identify differences in the tolerance of pollen to temperature variations. The effect of temperature on in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube growth was investigated in Pistacia vera (Uygur, Atli, Kaska, Sengel, Kavak), P. atlantica, P. khinjuk, P. terebinthus and P. palaestina. When pollen was incubated in a germination medium for 24 h in darkness, distinct differences were observed in pollen germination and pollen tube growth at different temperatures.  相似文献

Linaria maroccana Hook. f. Ann., ‘Lace Violet’, Lupinus hartwegii ssp. cruikshankii Lindl. ‘Sunrise’ and Papaver nudicaule L. ‘Meadow Pastels’ seeds were directly sown into 105 cell plug trays and received either ambient light or supplemental high intensity discharge (HID) lighting. For each species, a 2 × 3 × 3 factorial was used with two light intensities during propagation, three transplant stages, and three night temperatures. Seedlings were transplanted at the appearance of 2–3, 5–6, or 8–9 true leaves. Transplanted Linaria and Papaver seedlings were placed at 5/11, 10/16, or 15/21 ± 1 °C night/day temperatures and Lupinus seedlings were placed at 15/24, 18/25, or 20/26 ± 2 °C night/day temperatures. For this study, the optimum production temperature for Linaria was 10/16 °C as the cut stems produced at 15/21 °C were unmarketable and production time was excessively long at 5/11 °C. At 10/16 °C, Linaria seedlings should be transplanted at the 2–3 leaf stage to maximize stem number, stem length and profitability. For Lupinus the optimum temperature was 15/24 °C due to long stems and high profitability per plant. Lupinus seedlings should be transplanted at the 2–3 leaf stage when grown at 15/24 °C to obtain the longest and thickest stems; however, $/m2 week was higher for plants transplanted at the 8–9 leaf stage due to less time in finishing production space. For Papaver, the 15/21 °C temperature was optimal as that temperature produced the longest stems in the shortest duration, resulting in the highest $/m2 week. At 15/21 °C Papaver plants should be transplanted at the 2–3 leaf stage. Supplemental HID lighting had no effect on any of the species.  相似文献

This study was initiated to investigate the differences in germination percentages and rates between Corylopsis coreana Uyeki and Corylopsis sinensis var. calvescens Rehder & E.H. Wilson following a warm stratification (WS) and cold stratification (CS), and to study the effect of different WS temperatures interacting with different durations of CS. Warm stratification at 10 °C, 15 °C, 20 °C, and 25 °C was given for 1 month (1 M 10 °C, 15 °C, 20 °C, and 25 °C WS) followed by 0 M, 1 M, 2 M, and 3 M of CS at 5 °C (0 M, 1 M, 2 M, 3 M CS) and seeds were germinated in an air conditioned greenhouse maintained at 18.5 °C/18 °C. On average, less than 1% of C. coreana seeds germinated when sown without any WS and CS or with 1 M 15 °C, 20 °C, and 25 °C WS without CS treatment. However, 26% C. coreana seeds germinated after 1 M 10 °C WS without any CS treatment. Germination was not affected by WS temperatures when followed by 2 M 5 °C CS. It is concluded that C. coreana exhibited low seed germination at 10 °C and that this temperature could be considered the upper limit of CS for C. coreana. Only 2 M CS was required for more than 90% seeds to germinate. However, C. sinensis var. calvescens required longer than 3 M CS for more than 29% seeds to germinate. This clearly shows that there is an interspecific variation in optimum dormancy-breaking requirements.  相似文献

Prevailing ambient temperature during the reproductive phase is one of important factors for seed and fruit set in different plant species. In mango (Mangifera indica L.), natural low temperatures during flowering induced seedless fruits. Here the sexual reproduction process of ‘Tainong 1’ mango at low temperatures (diurnal maximum temperature < 20 °C) was studied. For comparison, we also examined this process at “normal” temperatures (diurnal maximum ranging from 25 to 30 °C, diurnal average temperature > 20 °C). Results showed: natural low temperatures significantly affected pistil and male gametophyte development, resulting in pollen grains with low viability. Meiotic chromosomal irregularities, including univalents, multivalents, laggards, bridges and micronuclei were detected at higher incidences and significantly greater proportions of nucleolus fragmentation and dissolution were detected when temperatures were low. Pollen tube growth was retarded under low temperature stress, either in vivo or in vitro. The virtual absence of sexual reproduction of ‘Tainong 1’ mango at low temperatures appears to be due largely to slow growth of pollen tube in vivo and to a low rate of successful fertilization.  相似文献

Wild asparagus (Asparagus acutifolius L.) is a widespread species found in all the Mediterranean areas. The spears are highly valued by consumers and owing to its frugality, this species is a feasible new crop with high income potential, especially for Mediterranean marginal areas. Currently, the cultivation of this species is limited because of its low and erratic seed germination that makes difficult the production of seedlings for plant propagation. In this research, non-after-ripened (1 month-old) and after-ripened seeds (dry stored at room temperature for 13 months) were exposed for 30 days in the dark to three moist stratification treatments: cold (5 °C), warm (23 °C) or no stratification; subsequently they were soaked for 12 h in warm water (35 °C) or not soaked. The effect of these pre-germination treatments on three germination parameters (germination percentage, time to 50% of final germination – T50 – and germination pattern) was studied, as well as some possible seed dormancy forms involved therein. The 1-year dry storage period proved to be effective in after-ripened seeds by enhancing seed sensitivity to the subsequent pre-germination treatments. After-ripened seeds exhibited higher and more rapid germination compared to non-after-ripened seeds. Soaking, cold or warm moist stratification had similar single effect on non-after-ripened seeds (27% germination). With after-ripened seeds, only soaking or warm stratification were effective (47% germination) when singularly applied, while cold stratification did not improve germination. By combining stratification and soaking treatments, a higher germination for both non-after-ripened and after-ripened seed-lots was achieved. The highest germination was obtained when after-ripened seeds were stratified and soaked (76%), without any significant difference between cold or warm stratification. Single or combined application of moist stratification (regardless of the temperature used) and soaking resulted always in a faster germination compared to that of no-treated seeds and especially with after-ripened seeds (T50 = 6 days). A non-deep type 1 physiological dormancy can be hypothesized for the seeds of this species. Low stratification temperature induce secondary dormancy in after-ripened seeds that can be removed by soaking them at 35 °C for 12 h.  相似文献

The effects of incorporating 5-aminolevulenic acid (ALA) into the priming solution on low-temperature germination and emergence percentage performance of red pepper (Capsicum annuum cv. Sena) seeds before and after seed storage were investigated. Seeds were primed in 3% KNO3 solution for 6 days at 25 °C in darkness containing 0 ppm, 1 ppm, 10 ppm, 25 ppm, 50 ppm or 100 ppm ALA. Following priming, seeds were either immediately subjected to germination and emergence tests at 15 °C or stored at 4 °C or 25 °C for 1 month after which they were subjected to germination and emergence tests at 15 °C. Priming pepper seeds in the presence of ALA improved final germination percentage (FGP) and germination rate (MGT) at 15 °C compared to non-primed seeds. The highest FGP was obtained from seeds primed in the presence of 25 ppm and higher ALA concentrations while the highest MGT was obtained from seeds primed in KNO3 supplemented with 10 ppm ALA. Emergence percentages were the highest for the seeds primed in the presence of 25 ppm ALA and 50 ppm ALA while non-primed seeds had the lowest emergence percentage. Highest emergence rates (MET) and heaviest seedlings were also obtained from seeds primed in KNO3 supplemented with 50 ppm ALA. Although all priming treatments improved germination and emergence performance of pepper seeds at 15 °C following 1 month of storage under two different temperatures, inclusion of 25 ppm and 50 ppm ALA into the priming solution resulted in higher germination and emergence percentages and faster germination and emergence compared to seeds primed in KNO3 only and non-primed seeds. These results indicate that priming seeds in 25 ppm and 50 ppm ALA incorporated into the KNO3 solution can be used as an effective method to improve low-temperature performance of red pepper seeds and that these seeds can be stored for 1 month at 4 °C or 25 °C and still exhibit improved germination and emergence performance at 15 °C.  相似文献

Twelve Alstroemeria species, two hybrids, one cv. ‘Jubilee’, an anther-cultured plant from cultivar ‘Jubilee,’ and Bomarea salsilla and Leontochir ovallei (the latter two were chosen as outgroup) were evaluated using the AFLP marker technique in order to identify putative parental genotypes of the Alstroemeria cv. ‘Jubilee’ and of known interspecific hybrids, and to estimate their genetic relationships within the genus Alstroemeria. A total of 297 AFLP markers were scored by using the primer combination (E + ACCA/M + CTAG). In order to discriminate all Alstroemeria genotypes, cluster analysis (UPGMA) and principal coordinates analysis were performed. The Alstroemeria cv. ‘Jubilee’, of which the parents are unknown, had genetic distance (GD) 0.54 from Alstroemeria exserens, GD 0.57 from Alstroemeria garaventae, GD 0.62 from Alstroemeria gayana, and GD 0.66 from Alstroemeria hookeri cumminghiana. Thus, these four species are considered as putative parental genotypes. An interspecific hybrid (Alstroemeria aurea × Alstroemeria inodora), showed the smallest genetic distance from A. aurea (GD 0.56) and A. inodora (GD 0.45). The Alstroemeria ligtu group was distantly allocated from other Chilean species. We conclude that the AFLP marker technique appears to be a satisfactory tool for identifying the parental genotypes of interspecific hybrids in Alstroemeria.  相似文献

To obtain the basic information on fruit set regulation, effects of several RNases including S-RNase on pollen tube growth and RNA degradation in the tube were studied in the pear. Purified S-RNase from the Japanese pear ‘Kosui’ (S4S5) predominantly inhibited the growth of ‘Kosui’ pollen tubes (self) in vitro at 0.28 unit μL−1, but it inhibited ‘Chojuro’ (S2S3) pollen (cross) only slightly. The same unit of RNase T1 (EC 3.1.27.3) clearly inhibited the pollen tube growth, but the action was significantly weaker than that of the S-RNase against the self-pollen. Inhibitory effect of RNase T2 (EC 3.1.27.1) and RNase A (EC 3.1.27.5) was only slight. The proteins other than the S-RNase extracted from pear style did not have any inhibitory action, though they possessed RNase activity 3.8 times higher than S-RNase. Thus, RNases tested here could not substitute for the S-RNase in specific inhibition against the self-pollen tube growth. Total RNA degradation by each RNase occurred in the pollen tubes as following order; S-RNase (self) ≥T1 > T2 ≥ A > S-RNase (cross). Degradation degree of 28S and 18S rRNA was as follows; S-RNase (self) > A > T1 > T2 > S-RNase (cross). The degradation of 5.8S and 5S rRNA was; S-RNase (self) > S-RNase (cross) > A > T2 > T1. The degree of rRNA degradation was, thus, not always in parallel with the degree of pollen growth inhibition. The S-RNase may degrade not only rRNA but also mRNA essential for pollen tube growth, and may be specifically adapted to inhibit the growth of self-pollen tubes. Therefore, controlling S-RNase amount in the style will produce self-thinning cultivars efficiently, which are unnecessary not only for hand-pollination but fruit-thinning practices in the pear. Practically, cultivar with weak self-incompatibility and small amount of S-RNase, such as ‘Okusankichi’, may be an expecting candidate for breeding self-thinning cultivars.  相似文献

An improved in vitro pollen germination assay was developed to assess the viability of stored Hedychium pollen. The effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) (10, 15, and 20%, w/v) on pollen germination and tube growth was evaluated for Hedychium longicornutum and two commercial Hedychium cultivars, ‘Orange Brush’ and ‘Filigree’. Overall, the inclusion of PEG 4000 in the medium improved both pollen germination and tube growth for the three different genotypes tested and the results varied depending on genotype. In vitro germination was used to assess the viability of Hedychium pollen stored up to two months. Pollen nucleus status was determined for four Hedychium cultivars, ‘Orange Brush’, ‘Anne Bishop’, ‘Filigree’, and ‘Daniel Weeks’. Pollens of ‘Orange Brush’, ‘Anne Bishop’, and ‘Daniel Weeks’ were found to be binucleate but ‘Filigree’ was shown to possess both binucleate and trinucleate pollens. High pollen:ovule ratio values were obtained in several Hedychium taxa. The results obtained on the nuclear pollen status and pollen:ovule ratios will further our understanding of the pollination biology and help clarify the taxonomy and phylogeny of Hedychium species.  相似文献

Due to the protogynous dichogamy of cherimoya and to the absence of proper pollinating vectors, hand-pollination with fresh pollen is a common practice for cherimoya commercial production. In order to optimize the process of hand-pollination, in this work we have studied the conservation of cherimoya pollen at −20, −80 and −196 °C for up to 3 months. In vitro pollen germination of fresh pollen was 57.1% and it was progressively reduced with conservation time at the three temperatures studied reaching a minimum after 3 months of storage of 10.4%, 14.2% and 13.6% at −20, −80 and −196 °C, respectively. Differences in germination among temperatures were only significant during the first 2 weeks of storage. Field pollinations with pollen stored for up to 3 months at the three temperatures show no yield differences compared to pollinations performed with fresh pollen. The results indicate that pollen collected and stored at sub-zero temperatures at the beginning of the cherimoya blooming season can be used along the whole blooming season avoiding the need of collecting fresh pollen daily.  相似文献

The effect of mean daily air temperature (MDT) on flowering rate (the reciprocal of days to flower) was quantified for 18 species of annual bedding plants. Plants were grown in environmental growth chambers at constant air temperature set points of 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 25, or 30 °C and under an irradiance of 160–180 μmol m–2 s–1, with a 16-h photoperiod. Nonlinear mathematical equations were developed to predict the effect of MDT on flowering rate and to estimate the base, optimum, and maximum temperatures (Tmin, Topt, and Tmax), which are the temperatures at which flowering rates are zero (low temperature), maximal, and zero once again (high temperature), respectively. The estimated Tmin varied among species and ranged from 1.1 °C in French marigold (Tagetes patula L.) to 9.9 °C in angelonia (Angelonia angustifolia Benth.). Topt and Tmax were only observed for 8–10 species with the temperature range tested. Topt ranged from 19.1 °C in dahlia (Dahlia × hybrida Cav.) to 28.0 °C in blue salvia (Salvia farinacea Benth.), whereas Tmax ranged from 30.3 °C in snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus L.) to 31.7 °C in moss rose (Portulaca grandiflora Hook.). Angelonia, browallia (Browallia speciosa Hook.), cosmos (Cosmos sulphureus Cav.), dahlia, and snapdragon grown at 25 or 30 °C developed a mean of two to seven more nodes before flowering compared with plants grown at ≤15 °C. The results indicate that in many species, flowering rate in response to MDT is asymmetrical around Topt and the temperature range between Tmin and Topt is wider than that between Topt and Tmax. This information could be used to improve the predictability of flowering time of these ornamental crops and to assist growers in determining energy-efficient production temperatures.  相似文献

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of foliar boron and calcium application after harvest on the quantity and activity of pollen in the ‘Housui’ and ‘Wonwhang’ pears on a subsequent year. Pollen grains of the ‘Housui’ pear were cultured on germination medium, to which had been added boric acid (0, 25, 75, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 mg L−1) and calcium nitrate (0, 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, and 500 mg L−1). Boric acid, which was added to the germination media, exerted a significant stimulatory effect on both pollen germination and pollen tube growth, although pollen tube growth was inhibited at higher concentrations than 300 mg L−1. Calcium nitrate addition stimulated pollen germination, except at concentration of 500 mg L−1. However, pollen tube growth was significantly inhibited with increasing concentrations of calcium nitrate. In the orchard experiment, boron and calcium were sprayed at concentrations of 0, 100, 200, 500 or 1000 mg L−1 onto leaves after harvest, respectively. Boron and calcium content in the tissues as well as pollen production and growth were determined after these treatments. The foliar application of boron mainly resulted in an increase of boron concentration in buds. It also induced an increase in the weight of the anther and pollen in the following year. On the other hand, the foliar application of calcium resulted in an increase of calcium concentration mainly in the leaves, but pollen weight was decreased at high concentration treatment in the following year. The germination rate and tube growth of collected pollen were highest in the trees which had received boron treatment at a concentration of 200 mg L−1. In contrast, the germination rate and tube growth of collected pollen were decreased by calcium application at concentrations of 500 and 1000 mg L−1 without significant increase at lower concentrations. Consequently, the accumulation of boron in the developed buds of pear trees subjected to post-harvest foliar boron application generated positive effects on both the quantity and quality of pollen in the following year.  相似文献

Unreduced gamete formation is significant in the evolutionary development of complex polyploidy series found in wild strawberry, genus Fragaria (Rosaceae). Also, it is important for genetics and breeding in strawberry plants to elucidate the mechanism of unreduced gamete formation. The objective of this study was to search for ploidy anomalies resulting from artificial diploid × octoploid crosses, and examine the mechanism through which these unreduced gametes were produced. Five everbearing cultivars of Fragaria vesca L. diploid (2n = 2x = 14) were crossed with pollen from six June-bearing cultivars of Fragaria × ananassa Duch., octoploid (2n = 8x = 56). A total of 3000 mature seeds, 100 from each of the 30 parental combinations were sown at 23 °C/20 °C (day/night) under artificial lighting with a 16 h day. The seedlings were transplanted to pots and grown in a greenhouse. Reproductive and morphological observations, flow cytometry analyses, chromosome counts and DNA analyses using CAPS markers were performed to identify the genetic background of the offspring. Most of the seed (79%) did not germinate or died soon after germination. Of the seedlings produced, 7% seemed to be pure F. vesca based on morphological characteristics, flow cytometry analyses and chromosome counts; 14% were pentaploids (2n = 5x = 35), 0.1% were hexaploids (2n = 6x = 42), and 0.03% (one individual) was aneuploid (2n = 8x + 2 = 58). Electrophoresis banding patterns obtained by CAPS marker analysis were heterozygotic in the 8x pollen parent but homozygotic in the aneuploid progeny. Judging from the chromosome counts and the CAPS marker analysis, the aneuploid was the result of a homozygous unreduced pollen grain (8x) crossed with an incomplete chromosome compliment from the egg. Because of the homozygosity, the unreduced male gamete must have been derived from second division restitution (SDR) in the octoploid pollen parent.  相似文献

The use of related species to integrate important traits into cultivated crops is a common practice in plant breeding. Gaura coccinea and, potentially its derived species Gaura drummondii, could be donor species for introgressing cold tolerance into non-hardy G. lindheimeri. However, cold tolerance and acclimation has not been studied in these species, so protocols for determining these traits are required. The objectives of this study were to determine the relative cold tolerance of G. coccinea, G. drummondii and whether short day photoperiod is involved in cold acclimation. G. drummondii from Texas, USA and G. coccinea from Minnesota and Texas, USA were subjected to freezing tests using whole plant or electrolyte leakage after natural acclimation or non-acclimation conditions. Minnesota genotypes were able to withstand colder temperatures (−12 °C) than Texas genotypes (−9 °C). Acclimation capacity was determined for whole plant and electrolyte leakage assays using three different plant organs—stem, crown, and rhizome. Underground rhizomes were the best predictors of cold tolerance, however they were difficult to obtain. Stem sections of G. drummondii (Texas) and G. coccinea (Minnesota and Texas) were used to determine a shift in acclimation under short days. The Minnesota G. coccinea genotypes demonstrated greater cold tolerance after 3 weeks of short days while Texas G. coccinea, G. drummondii genotypes did not change even after 5 weeks.  相似文献

The influence of seed maturity, seed storage and germination pre-treatments on seed germination of cleome (Cleome gynandra L.) were investigated. Seed maturation studies showed that capsules harvested at 18 days after anthesis possessed the highest dry weight with 19.2% moisture and 1% germination. Development of fresh-ungerminated seed was observed with increasing maturity of fruit, suggesting that cleome exhibited forms of seed dormancy. Storing mature seed at 15 °C and at room temperature for 5 months showed that seed dormancy was broken after 3 months under both storage regimes. When mature seeds were subjected to different treatments including various levels of GA3, KNO3, leaching, pre-chilling, soaking and pre-heating at different temperatures, it was found that pre-heating at 40 °C for period of 1–5 days was the most effective method in breaking dormancy in cleome.  相似文献

The caryophyllaceae is a family of flowering plants commonly known as the pink or carnation family. Members of this family are widely grown as ornamental plants. The species Dianthus chinensis, Dianthus barbatus, and Dianthus superbus include notable examples of such ornamental varieties. Intra- and inter-specific hybridization is important for the breeding of improved varieties and, therefore, it is desirable to optimize the efficiency of cross-pollination procedures within this family. Here, we conducted intra-specific pollination using four lines of D. chinensis, and inter-specific pollination between D. chinensis, D. barbatus and D. superbus genotypes. For each of these crosses we recorded information of pollen viability, stigma development stage at time of pollination, pollen germination on the stigma surface and pollen tube elongation within the stigma, and final seed set. Pollen viability levels were determined at the start of anther dehiscence, which occurred on day 1 of flower opening. The genotypes D. chinensis var. ‘Bz2’, D. barbatus var. ‘Xb’, and D. superbus wild species ‘Qm’ all displayed good levels of pollen viability (i.e. between 68% and 75%); D. chinensis vars. ‘H58III’, ‘H68I’ and ‘H6II’ showed lower levels of pollen viability (i.e. between 32% and 51%). In each Dianthus line, the stigma organs were observed to undergo morphological changes during the 1–7 d following flower opening. We have characterized these changes as five distinct development stages, namely, ‘column’ (day 1), ‘Y-like’ (day 2), ‘Y-shaped with slight curve’ (days 3–4), ‘Y-shaped horn-like’ (days 5–6), and ‘wilting’ (day 7). Pollen was artificially applied to stigma organs at each of these development stages and aniline blue staining was used to follow pollen tube germination on the stigma surface and pollen tube elongation down the length of the stigma. This showed that the ‘Y-shaped slightly curved’ stigma stage (3–4 d) was optimal for pollination. The ‘Y-shaped horn-like’ stage (5–6 d) was also receptive to pollination. By contrast, the earlier ‘Y-shaped’ (2 d) and ‘column’ (1 d) stages, and also the later ‘wilting’ (7 d) stage, were far less receptive. Parallel field experiments were conducted in which seed set was measured following the artificial pollination of flowers at different development stages. These data also indicated that the optimal time for pollination was during 3–4 d of flower opening. This conclusion held true for both intra- and inter-specific crosses of the various Dianthus lines. Thus, stigma receptivity in Dianthus does not become optimal until 3–4 d after flower opening. Since anther dehiscence occurs at 1 d (i.e. when stigma are at the unreceptive ‘column’ stage), this suggests that Dianthus employs a delayed self-fertilization strategy. We also found a significant effect of genotype on pollen tube growth and seed-set values. The highest numbers of seed per flower were achieved when the D. superbus wild species ‘Qm’ was the female parent in inter-specific crosses. Thus, genotype and stigma development are identified as key factors that determine the success of cross-pollination in Dianthus lines.  相似文献

Pre-dehiscent capsules were collected from two Rhododendron griersonianum (Balf.f. & Forrest) trees and either immediately dried in a dry-room (15% relative humidity, 15 °C) or placed in a high humidity room (80% relative humidity, 15 °C) for 30, 60, or 90 d. Further capsules were also collected from the trees at 30 and 60 d, but seeds had been dispersed by 90 d. Seed ageing experiments (60% relative humidity, 45 °C) carried out on these seed-lots and on seeds from a further 10 Rhododendron (L.) species confirmed that short seed lifespans is a trait of the genus, with a mean P50 value of ca. 20 d for this storage environment.  相似文献

The bitter gourd seed has a thick, hard seed coat. Mildew often occurs during germination and causes uneven and low rates of seed germination. However, the problems caused by mildew can be overcome by treating seeds with hot water, by soaking in water, or by using microorganisms. Seeds of the ‘Ching Pi’ bitter gourd were treated in a water bath at 60 °C for 10 min and then soaked in tap water at 25 °C for 24 h. The resulting germination percentage was 86.7%, and the resulting percentage of mildewed seeds was 10%. The biocontrol potential of three commercially available Bacillus subtilis solutions was examined. For seeds primed with Huodijun B. subtilis solution, the germination percentage was 73.3% and the mildewed percentage 6%. In dual cultures, the antibiotic content in the Huodijun B. subtilis solution was significantly greater than in Yunghsing and Huolibao, the other B. subtilis solutions examined. B. subtilis effectively inhibited the growth of Rhizoctonia solani mycelium and caused abnormal mycelial growth.  相似文献

Seven chilli landraces of Manipur belonging to three cultivated species of Capsicum (Capsicum annuum, Capsicum frutescens, and Capsicum chinense) form economically important food crops of the region. The genotypes were characterized using ten random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. The cluster analysis based on Jaccard's similarity coefficient calculated by UPGMA method differentiated the genotypes into two main cluster groups. One cluster represented the C. annuum genotypes while the other cluster represented the C. frutescens and the C. chinense genotypes. C. chinense genotypes were more close to C. frutescens genotypes. Genetic variation between the C. frutescens genotypes was more than among the C. annuum genotypes and the C. chinense genotypes were the least similar ones.  相似文献

Since 1926, the University of Minnesota herbaceous perennial breeding program has released N = 84 garden chrysanthemum cultivars (Dendranthema × grandiflora) with important traits for northern temperate climates, such as winter hardiness. Recent breeding objectives have identified the need for development of non-destructive phenotypic markers and destructive laboratory freezing tests for co-selection of cold tolerance in Dendranthema, Gaura, and other herbaceous perennial flower crops. Such methods have become critical to flower breeding programs in northern temperate regions during periods of above-average winter temperatures and minimal snow cover due to the ‘el Niño’ effect. Two different, destructive laboratory freezing tests were evaluated for their effectiveness in determining cold tolerance. Acclimated crowns of n = 6 garden chrysanthemum genotypes, ranging from hardy to non-hardy in USDA Z3-4, were used in Omega Block (using detached, emergent rhizomes) and chamber (using entire, intact crowns with emergent, non-emergent rhizomes) freezing test methods. Comparative winter survival in the field was monitored over locations and years. Cold tolerance was assessed at 0 to −12 °C with varying ramp and soak time periods. LT50 temperatures and number of living emergent rhizomes were also determined. Rhizome quality at 1, 3, and 5 cm depths was rated for regrowth on a 0 (dead) to 5 (undamaged) scale. The chamber freezing method was the most powerful to discern accurate LT50 values. Cold tolerant genotypes included ‘Duluth’ and Mn. Selection 98-89-7 (LT50 = −12 °C). Four genotypes were rated as non-hardy (LT50 = ≤−10 °C). Cold-tolerant genotypes also had significantly higher regrowth ratings for rhizomes at 1 and 3 cm depths. Future research will implement the chamber freezing method to assay the inheritance of winter hardiness in intact crowns of segregating populations.  相似文献
