Maize (Zea mays L.) landraces have the highest genetic variation and adaptation to the natural and anthropological environment where they have evolved. Surveying both qualitative and quantitative morphological traits of existing landraces may be useful in maintaining their genetic diversity and preserving them from genetic erosion. Our research deals with the morpho-phenological and agronomic characterization of a flint maize landrace, named 'Nostrano di Storo', still grown in an inland hilly environment in the low valley of Chiese River in Trentino, North-Eastern Italy. The majority of plants from twenty field populations proved to belong, with few exceptions (NSt2, NSt9, NSt11), to a single population. It means that the plant material long grown in this area and maintained by local farmers through yearly selection forms a single landrace within which some populations (i.e. NSt1, NSt3, NSt4, NSt7, NSt10, NSt18, NSt19, NSt20) could be considered as most representative and taken as 'core'. This is supported by the fact that the genetic variability was much higher within than between field populations: half of the plant and ear traits investigated did not show any significant difference between populations whereas all traits but two showed highly significant differences within populations. Selection carried out over the years by each farmer according to his own criteria produced little genetic differentiation within the original population. Gene flow among farmer populations, most likely occurred through both pollen dispersion to neighboring cultivated fields and seed exchange among farmers, may help to explain the low genetic differentiation. This information is useful for both planning conservation and recognizing the landrace as a unique germplasm source of specific geographic origin. 相似文献

Potato production from true seed, or true potato seed (TPS) is not a new system for this vegetatively propagated crop. Andean farmers have grown potatoes in the cool highlands from true seed for many centuries. TPS appears today as a promising technology in the warm tropics, where diseases impede the production of pathogen-free potato propagules. However, the identification of suitable genetic resources for potato seed production requires the selection of clones that lack antagonism between tuber growth and seed embryo development. Furthermore, the potential TPS parents need to possess characteristics of a sexually propagated crop that is grown for the harvest of its vegetative part, i.e., the tuber. This new process of domestication requires a change in the selection methods, which starts by assessing the potential of available potato clones for both reproductive characteristics and agronomic traits, particularly those of the tuber. Tetraploid landraces and cultivars of the pathogen-tested collection of the Centro Internacional de la Papa were assessed for reproductive and agronomic characteristics during three consecutive years in San Ramón, a Peruvian location in the warm lowland tropics. The clones showed significant variation for all characteristics recorded. The Shannon–Weaver diversity index (H) was highest for flowering duration (0.617) and intensity (0.600). The lowest H was calculated for bee attraction in this location. The overall H was not significantly affected by the year-to-year variation, but some of the characteristics recorded (e.g. flowers per inflorescence, anther type, style length, plus fruit and berry set) showed distinct H according to the year of assessment. Some of the cultivars with promising TPS traits, as determined by their reproductive characteristics, also had outstanding tuber set, weight and yield. Furthermore, hybrid offspring from the selected clones from the pathogen-tested elite sample, did show high tuber yield with appropriate tuber set and reproductive traits as shown by progeny testing. Hence, the approach followed for identifying parental sources as discussed in this article appears to be appropriate. 相似文献

One reason for the relatively low genetic advance realized in forage legumes may be the possible selection, under the severe intraspecific competition occurring naturally during cultivation, of a few high-yielding genotypes that would be of similar value in a broadly-based landrace or old cultivar and a narrowly-based, modern variety. The effect of selection under cultivation was assessed in two Ladino white clover farm landraces. Genotypes collected from each farm after a three-year crop cycle (survivor populations), or obtained from the seed used to establish each meadow (original populations), were multiplied clonally and evaluated in isolation and monoculture conditions for one year. The occurrence of directional selection was observed only in the landrace featured by greater intra-population variation in favour of genotypes with longer petioles (+11%), larger leaf size (+13%), less stolons (–14%) and lower production of heads (–16%). Selection for the first two traits would imply an increase of competitive ability, whilst that for the fourth trait appeared mainly as a correlated response. The trade-off between leaf gigantism and head production could act as a buffering mechanism against rapid change in genotype frequencies following random mating. A slight trend towards directional selection for higher yield (+6%) in the same landrace was not statistically significant. No disruptive or stabilizing selection was observed for any trait in either landrace. 相似文献

We propose quantitative genetic variation as a useful tool complementary to molecular variation in order to detect changes in biodiversity caused by different human-induced activities. We simulated a metapopulation setting under a number of realistic scenarios caused by anthropogenic activities (population isolation, reduced carrying capacity or reproductive rates, shifts in the local optima, and enhanced environmental variation or mutational rates). The effects on diversity of these scenarios were assessed for neutral variation estimated from molecular markers and for an additive quantitative trait that represents a typical morphological characteristic subject to stabilising selection promoting local adaptation to environmental conditions. The results show that monitoring quantitative genetic variation can be more informative than neutral variation to detect some human-induced environmental or genetic impacts on diversity, both at intra and interpopulation levels. We also compared the precision of diversity estimates obtained from molecular markers and quantitative traits. Under low migration rates and typical selection intensities for the quantitative trait, the precision of estimates can be substantially larger for a quantitative trait than for a single molecular marker. Thus, about 10-20 (2-4) independent markers are necessary for the precision of estimates of heterozygosity (population differentiation) from molecular markers to reach that of genetic variances (differentiation) from quantitative traits. 相似文献

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

Phenotypic variation of agronomic characters in aromatic rice (Oryza sativa L.) was analyzed in order to elucidate the genetic diversity of the populations of rice landraces. Thirteen populations in
Namdinh province, in the Red River Delta of Vietnam, were studied in both of farmers fields and an experimental field. Only
small differences were found in agronomic characters among the populations, including populations containing different varieties.
Variations among the populations in the frequency distributions of several characters suggested different degrees of diversity
among the populations even among populations with the same variety name. The phenotypic profiles of farmers fields were different
from those in an experimental field suggesting the environmental differences between them. One variety cultivated in the Myloc
district had different phenotypic characters from the other varieties in the Haihau district more clearly in the experimental
field. Since the small phenotypic variation in each of farm might be due to the genetic drift and selection by the farmers,
on farm conservation of the landraces of rice is considered to be under a force to decrease phenotypic diversity. The present
study suggests that the targeting several farms with different phenotypic profiles contribute to the conservation of regional
genetic diversity of the landraces of rice. 相似文献

Earthworms are being used as bio-indicators to assess terrestrial pollution. However, it is often not known whether their populations possess a uniform genetic structure, which would allow comparison of residues or biological properties of earthworms from different sampling locations. In order to investigate this point, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) variation was surveyed in earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) from five different sampling sites in Germany. Forty oligonucleotide RAPD primers (10 base pairs in length) were screened, three of which produced high polymorphic band patterns. A total of 61 DNA fragments were detected in 90 individuals of L. terrestris from five sampling sites with 49 (80.3%) RAPD markers being polymorphic. The genetic similarities within (band sharing rates between 0.756 and 0.795) and among the L. terrestris populations (0.635) were similar even at widely separate locations. Inter-population variation in the RAPD pattern for all five earthworm populations accounted for 37.9% of the total variation, while intra-population variation for three adjacent Saarland populations accounted for only 18.0% of the total variation. Principal component analysis (PCA) and the genetic distances of the populations confirm these results. Twenty-four percent of the genetic distance is caused by geographical isolation as shown by a test for isolation by distance. These results show that L. terrestris fulfils the genetic qualifications for a bio-indicator particularly at closely located sampling sites. However, the results also suggest that earthworm studies of widely separated locations should include genetic characterisation of the earthworm samples. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Assessing the genetic variation and relationships present in crop germplasm is a pre-requisite for parental selection and breeding. The objective of this study was to determine the genetic relationships present among selected heat and drought tolerant wheat genotypes using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, agronomic traits and grain quality parameters to select desirable parents for breeding. Twenty-four agronomically selected wheat genotypes sourced from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT)’s heat and drought tolerance nursery and four local check varieties were genotyped using 12 selected polymorphic SSR markers. The test genotypes were phenotyped using yield and yield-component traits, and grain protein content (GPC) under non-stressed (NS) and drought-stressed (DS) conditions. Expected heterozygosity mean value of 0.58 indicated moderate genetic diversity for breeding. The studied wheat genotypes were delineated into six genetic groups using cluster analysis. Significant genotypic differences were observed for agronomic traits and GPC under NS and DS conditions. Genetically unrelated breeding parents including LM02, LM13, LM23, LM41, LM44, LM71, LM73 and LM75 were selected for population development and breeding for enhanced grain yield and protein content under heat and drought-stressed environments. 相似文献

Determination of genetic variability by RAPD markers in cauliflower,cabbage and kale local cultivars from France 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：3
RAPD markers were used to analyse the genetic variability among a cole crop cultivar collection from France and to identify
possible duplicate accessions for facilitating the germplasm multiplication. We surveyed 24 cauliflower, 24 cabbage and 48
kale populations using 62, 100 and 89 RAPD markers respectively on 40 seed bulk samples per accession. Genetic distances were
calculated on the basis of these markers. Using the phylogenetic package PAUP we compared the genetic clusters obtained for
the RAPD markers with the groups based on morphologic and agronomic data. For cauliflowers and cabbages a drastic selection
by growers led to an extensive differentiation of morphologic and precocity traits related to geographic origin, which matches
the grouping based on RAPD markers. Furthermore, RAPDs detected in some cases misclassification of accessions in the collection.
Kales formed an homogeneous group probably due to extensive genetic exchanges leading to a continuous diversity. For the other
crops, different horticultural types were separated in several subgroups by the RAPD markers suggesting different genetic
origins. RAPD markers provide a rapid and informative approach to analyze the genetic variability in a collection. It can
be applied to autogamous (spring cauliflower) or allogamous (winter cauliflower) crops, even in cases where the intra-population
diversity is extensive (cabbages). 相似文献

Use of the bulked genomic DNA-based RAPD methodology to assess the genetic diversity among abandoned Korean tea plantations 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4

The variability of 20 abandoned Korean tea plantations was investigated using the RAPD methodology and thebulked DNA procedure. Out of 50 primers screened, 13 revealed diversity among the populations and generated26 polymorphic markers in all. Two and two populations were indistinguishable from each other and in general,the diversity detected among the populations was relatively low. The genetic distance calculated from theJaccard's variability index varied from 0 to 0.79 with an average of 0.44. The low genetic diversity found in thisstudy could be explained by the narrow genetic base of the Korean tea populations introduced from MainlandChina, by the short history and relatively homogeneous environment of the populations, by mass destruction oflocal tea plantations in the 14th century and by the reproductive mode of Camellia sinensis. Indeed, Camellia sinensis being a highly outcrossing species maintains high intrapopulationnal variability as compared to itsinterpopulation variability. In the light of the results obtained, a strategy for local tea conservation is discussed. 相似文献

Durum wheat landrace genotypes are disappearing from the main wheat areas in Jordan, because of spreading of new uniform cultivars
and the serious reduction in wheat cultivation. This study was conducted to evaluate genetic diversity in durum wheat landraces
from Jordan and to identify desirable agronomic traits. Landraces were collected from two target areas: Ajloun and Karak.
The collected material was grown under rainfed conditions using an augmented design with five blocks and four repeated check
cultivars. Data were collected for 14 morphological and agronomic traits. Phenotypic diversity index (H′) was estimated, and
the relationships among accessions were measured using cluster analysis and dendrogram similarity matrix. The results revealed
the presence of a wide range of variability among landraces., which possess high levels of variability for biological yield,
fertile tillers, number of seeds per spike, seed weight per spike and weight of 1000 seeds. These landraces must be considered
as a reservoir of genes that plant breeders need in their wheat improvement programs and should be conserved both ex situ and in situ. 相似文献

In this study, we investigated the genetic variation of allelopathic potential, its grey correlation with important agronomic
characters, and rank analysis on allelopathic stability of fifteen wheat accessions commonly grown in arid regions of the
Loess Plateau in China. The genetic variation of allelopathic property in dryland winter wheat showed significant differences
between accessions. Allelopathic effects exhibited high heritability (55–95%) throughout the life cycle of wheat. Heritability
was highest in the tillering stage and weakest in the seed filling stage. Allelopathic potential varied and was discontinuous
throughout the wheat life cycle. Grey correlation analysis indicated a close relationship between allelopathic potential dependant
on growth phase and agronomic characters. Allelopathic expression during some growth periods induced a partial correlation
effect on some important agronomic characters that affected wheat yield. Allelopathic heritability and its degree of influence
on yield were more evident in the vegetative growth stage compared to the reproductive stage. A multiple linear regression
was built between allelopathic potential during different growth periods and agronomic characters pursued in wheat breeding.
Allelopathic potential had a linear effect on production traits cultivated in wheat breeding. When allelopathic intensity
varied from 0 to 1 in the reproductive stage, plant height ranged from 44 to 108 cm, spike length from 6.4 to 9.2 cm, number
of spikelets with seeds from 13.4 to 21.0, mean seed number per spike from 41.5 to 50.3 and thousand seed weight from 36.2
to 38.3 g. Based on rank analysis, we concluded that there was a synergistic relationship between allelopathic potential in
wheat and genetic, chemical and ecological factors. Triticum aestivum L. ‘No 6 Lankao’ and T. aestivum L. ‘No 22 Xiaoyan’ were identified as stable and relatively strong allelopathic accessions, whereas T. aestivum L. ‘Lankao 95–25’ was a stable but relatively weak allelopathic cultivar. Other varieties showed unstable allelopathic potential. 相似文献

A total of 229 genotypes of 20 Amaranthus species from the United States Department of Agriculture – Agricultural Research Service (USDA – ARS) National Plant Germplasm Amaranth Collection was evaluated in field experiments in Beijing and Wuhan, China, in 1994. Agronomic traits, including plant height, maturity, leaf number and color, stem color, seed color, branch number, 1000-grain-weight, yield per plant, and resistance to stresses (including diseases) were measured. The results indicated: 1. Many of the species were sensitive to daylength; 2. Cultivated genotypes generally had higher grain yield but were more seriously affected by diseases than non-cultivated species; 3. There was wide diversity in agronomic traits among Amaranthus species and among genotypes within the same species, and several genotypes were identified that appeared to carry favorable agronomic traits of immediate use in cultivar improvement; 4. For introduction of genotypes for use in plant breeding in China, selection should be partially based on matching the climates of the location of origin and the target area for production. 相似文献

Extensive germplasm resources are present in collections of Lotus corniculatus and L. uliginosus, two forage species that are valuable in situations where other legumes are not persistent. Naturalised populations in many
regions are the primary gene pool for genetic improvement of these species and interspecific hybrids are an important source
of variation for agronomic and forage quality traits. Although previous research has provided evidence that selection for
optimal levels of condensed tannins and herbage productivity are feasible breeding objectives, less is known about correlations
of condensed tannin with other parameters of nutritive value. A germplasm collection of 38 accessions in both species from
9 geographic regions was used as a data base to determine these correlations. Forage of each accession was sampled in two
successive years from a field site in south-eastern Australia and analysed for condensed tannin, in vitro digestible dry matter, nitrogen, acid detergent fibre and neutral detergent fibre. In both species condensed tannin was negatively
correlated with in vitro digestible dry matter and nitrogen. This result helped to identify potentially valuable accessions with low condensed tannin
(<4% of dry weight) and high in vitro digestible dry matter (>70%). One of these was an interspecific hybrid of L. uliginosus and L. corniculatus, confirming the view that interspecific hybridization would be a valuable avenue for improvement of agronomic and forage
quality characters in Lotus species. 相似文献

At the beginning of the 20th Century Italy was one of the most important producers of lentil in the Mediterranean basin. Presently, this pulse is mainly cultivated in marginal areas of Central and Southern Italy and in some small islands. As a result of the reduced attention devoted to lentil, several autochthonous populations have disappeared together with the traditions related to their cultivation. Moreover, how long the cultivation of those still grown today will continue is unpredictable. Governmental and local associations have a time window for anticipating a possible epoch when to grow these landraces will be no longer profitable. In the last decades the Germplasm Institute of the National Research Council (Bari, Italy) and the Institut für Pflanzengenetik und Kulturpflanzenforschung (Gatersleben, Germany) have collected 63 lentil populations in Italy, presently stored ex situ. The evaluation of this collection has shown the existence of an appreciable morphological, agronomic and genetic diversity that could foster future breeding programmes. It is concluded that there is an urgent need to promote the survival of lentil populations in situ, since this will further support the adaptation and evolution of autochthonous genotypes in their original environments. 相似文献
