Development of breeding populations from interspecific hybrids between Trifolium repens L. and T. occidentale Coombe 下载免费PDF全文
Syed Wajid Hussain Isabelle Marjorie Verry Warren Mervyn Williams 《Plant Breeding》2016,135(1):118-123
Trifolium occidentale is a diploid wild relative of T. repens (white clover) with adaptation to dry, saline coastal habitats. Transfer of drought and salt‐tolerant adaptive traits to white clover could be potentially valuable if interspecific hybridization can be achieved efficiently and leads to fertile hybrid populations. To achieve hybridization, 4x plants of T. occidentale were generated. Efficient techniques for generation of 4x plants and their identification using dry pollen shape are described. Interspecific 4x F1 plants were achieved without embryo rescue. F2 populations and first backcross hybrids to white clover were also efficiently achieved. Although male and female fertility were lower than in white clover, they were adequate to produce large amounts of seed from small numbers of inflorescences. Thus, early generation interspecific hybrid prebreeding populations can be readily developed, opening the way for transfer of traits from T. occidentale to white clover. 相似文献

Comparing mating designs to restore seed production of interspecific hybrids between Trifolium repens (white clover) and Trifolium uniflorum 下载免费PDF全文

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

Cytological and molecular investigations were undertaken for parent and progeny derived from a trispecific line [2(Gossypium arboreum × G. anomalum) × G. hirsutum var. BWR], which was crossed with G. hirsutum var. JLH168. Cytomorphological analysis of the F1 (G. arboreum × G. anomalum), its amphidiploid and progeny from trispecies hybrid showed distorted ploidy segregation with monovalents to hexavalents and high intergenomic (small A2 and large B1) allosynthetic chromosome pairing. Microsatellite analysis identified three fragments associated with G. arboreum and G. anomalum and six fragments associated with G. hirsutum in derivates of the trispecies line × G. hirsutum var. JLH168. Inter‐Retrotransposon Amplified Polymorphism (IRAP) analysis revealed fragments of G. arboreum and G. anomalum, only in F1 and amphidiploid. Chromosomal association and microsatellite analysis of three progeny genotypes (i.e. haploid, hexaploid and tetraploid no. 1) confirmed that they share multigenomic background from the three cotton species (A2, AhDh and B1 genome). The interspecific hybrid cotton genotypes studied are likely to be useful for the introgression of genes from diploid species to commercial upland cultivars. 相似文献

Interspecific compatibility barriers,development of interspecific hybrids through embryo rescue and lineage of Trifolium alexandrinum (Egyptian clover)—important tropical forage legume 下载免费PDF全文
Devendra R. Malaviya Ajoy K. Roy Pankaj Kaushal Mridul Chakraborti Aradhana Yadav Ambica Khare Richa Dhir Dushyant Khairnar Ginu Percis George 《Plant Breeding》2018,137(4):655-672
Genetic improvement of Trifolium alexandrinum L. is hampered because of narrow genetic base and lack of interspecies compatibility information. The study was envisaged to understand the interspecies incompatibility and the affinity between T. alexandrinum and 22 species of the genus representing different sections and to develop interspecific crosses. Development of interspecific hybrids with T. resupinatum, T. lappaceum, T. subterraneum, T. vesiculosum and T. echinatum, through embryo rescue, revealed their affinity with T. alexandrinum. Failure of pollen germination or restricted pollen tube growth showed its distant relatedness with T. clypeatum, T. balansae, T. purpureum, T. leucanthum, T. hirtum, T. pilulare and T. hybridum. Pollen tubes reached up to ovule among the crosses with T. alpestre, T. repens and T. nigrescens, whereas it travelled up to ovary among the crosses with T. angustifolium, T. grandiflorum and T. dasyurum indicating need of manipulation to overcome barrier. Thus, incompatibility of T. alexandrinum with many Trifolium species could be overcome through embryo rescue with intensive crossing. Egyptian clover ecotype ‘Fahli’ was more compatible with other species than ‘Mescavi’. 相似文献

Parasitic nematodes damage white clover (Trifolium repens) roots, negatively impacting forage yield and persistence. No single gene resistance to nematodes has been identified in white clover. Trifolium semipilosum (2n = 2x = 16) genotypes exhibiting either complete resistance or susceptibility to infection by the clover root-knot nematode (CRKN), Meloidogyne trifoliophila, were identified. F1 progeny (n = 92) of a pair-cross between ‘TsR’, a plant heterozygous for the resistance phenotype and ‘TsS’, a plant homozygous for the susceptible phenotype, were challenged with infective CRKN juveniles and evaluated subsequently for root galling. Segregation analysis indicated the resistance phenotype may be conferred by a single dominant allele at a locus (designated TRKR, Trifolium Root-knot Resistance) subject to segregation distortion. TsR, TsS, and bulked resistant and bulked susceptible F1 progeny (n = 12/bulk) were screened using T. repens microsatellite (SSR) markers. Three SSRs revealed polymorphism in TsR and the resistant bulk, of which prs090 and prs247 map to loci on T. repens linkage group D2. Progeny were genotyped with these three SSRs and 23 additional SSRs from T. repens groups D1 and D2. Linkage analysis in both TsR and TsS demonstrated macro-synteny between T. repens group D homoeologues and the T. semipilosum linkage group (designated DTs) containing the TRKR locus. Significant segregation distortion was detected in TsR, and recombination in the central region of the T. semipilosum linkage group was suppressed relative to T. repens in both parents. These data demonstrate the opportunities and challenges for comparative mapping in Trifolium and characterisation of loci conferring resistance to plant-parasitic nematodes. 相似文献

Nitrogen Fixation in Hybrids of White Clover (Trifolium repens L.) and Caucasian Clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Hybrids between white clover (Trifolium repens L.) and Caucasian clover (or Kura clover, Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb) are a potential route for the improvement of drought tolerance and persistence in white clover. However, to be agronomically viable they must show no significant reduction in their potential for nitrogen fixation relative to white clover. A comparative study of growth rate and nitrogen fixation was carried out in flowing solution culture without a supply of mineral nitrogen to the plants. The two parental species and two generations of backcross hybrids, with white clover as the recurrent parent, were assessed. The growth rate and N content of T. ambiguum were significantly lower than those of the other lines. However, dry matter production, nodule biomass per plant and rates of fixation were similar in second‐generation backcross plants and white clover. The results suggest that the agronomic potential of this novel germplasm is not compromised by limitations with respect to nitrogen fixation. 相似文献

Wild Lens taxa are invaluable sources of useful traits for broadening genetic base of cultivated lentil. Nine inter‐sub‐specific and interspecific crosses were made successfully between cultivated (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris) and wild lentils (L. culinaris ssp. orientalis, odemensis, lamottei and ervoides). The effect of species groups, day length and temperature on crossability in lentils was evident under normal winter sowing in New Delhi and in summer Himalayan nursery at Sangla in Himachal Pradesh, India, although pollen fertility assessed in all the cross‐combinations showed no significant variation. True hybridity of nine inter‐sub‐specific and interspecific crosses was confirmed through morphological and molecular (ISSR) markers, in which three of 120 primers could confirm the hybridity of all the crosses. All cross‐combinations were also studied for important quantitative traits related to yield. The range, mean and coefficient of variation were estimated in parental lines, F1 and F2 generations to determine the extent of variability generated in cultivated lentils through the introgression of genes from wild L. taxa. A high level of heterosis was observed in F1 crosses for important traits studied. Substantially higher variations for seed yield and its attributing traits were exhibited in F2 generations indicating transgressive segregation. The results of the present investigation revealed that wild L. taxa can be successfully exploited for lentil improvement programmes, and the variations generated could be easily utilized for broadening the genetic base of cultivated lentil gene pool for improving the yield as well as wider adaptation. 相似文献

Heterosis, or hybrid vigour, has been used to improve seed yield in several important crops for decades and it has potential applications in soybean. The discovery of over‐dominant quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying yield‐related traits, such as seed weight, will facilitate hybrid soybean breeding via marker‐assisted selection. In this study, F2 and F2 : 3 populations derived from the crosses of ‘Jidou 12’ (Glycine max) × ‘ZYD2738’ (Glycine soja) and ‘Jidou 9’ (G. max) × ‘ZYD2738’ were used to identify over‐dominant QTL associated with seed weight. A total of seven QTL were identified. Among them, qSWT_13_1, mapped on chromosome 13 and linked with Satt114, showed an over‐dominant effect in two populations for two successive generations. This over‐dominant effect was further examined by six subpopulations derived from ‘Jidou12’ × ‘ZYD2738’. The seed weight for heterozygous individuals was 1.1‐ to 1.6‐fold higher than that of homozygous individuals among the six validation populations examined in different locations and years. Therefore, qSWT_13_1 may be a useful locus to improve the yield of hybrid soybean and to understand the molecular mechanism of heterosis in soybean. 相似文献

Interspecific hybridisation with Trifolium nigrescens Viv. is a possible strategy to improve the reproductive potential of white clover (Trifolium repens L.). Following the development of a fertile F1 hybrid, three generations of backcrossing have been carried out usingT. repens as the recurrent parent. Vegetative characteristics, stolon growth and seed yield components of the backcross (BC) 2 and
3 generations, as well as the parental species were measured on spaced plants grown in the field. Leaf size and plant spread
of the BC2 and BC3 generations were less than T. repens but there was no difference in plant fresh weight. Numbers of inflorescences per plant and florets per inflorescence of the
backcrosses were greater than T. repens however this was not reflected indifferences in seed yield per plant asT. repens had more seeds per floret and per plant than the backcrosses. Differences in stolon length, the proportion of flowering nodes
and the pattern of axillary bud development were observed between T. repens and the backcrosses. Significant variation among the BC 3 generation for vegetative and reproductive traits was observed.
Individual plants among the BC 3 generation were identified that combine high forage yield, substantial inflorescence production
and good fertility, and these will form the basis of further selection.

Creating favourable morphological and yield variations for rapeseed by interspecific crosses between Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea 下载免费PDF全文

Brassica napus is a most important oilseed grown worldwide with a limited genetic background, due to the short history of speciation, domestication and cultivation. To create novel germplasm for rapeseed breeding, we made interspecific crosses followed with chromosome doubling between B. rapa and B. oleracea to generate novel B. napus with favourable agronomic traits. The resynthesized (S0) hybrids were confirmed by SSR and cytogenetic analysis, and the fertility was increased from 32.7% in S0 generation to ~97.31% in S1 generation. The plant shapes of the progeny were dramatically improved compared to the diploid parents and B. napus cv. ‘Yangyou 6’, especially for the branch initiation height, branch number and pod number. The single‐plant yield was significantly improved in S1 progeny for the variations in branching sites and number. Significant improvement in plant shape and yield was observed on S2 generation compared to the local elite commercial open‐pollinated cultivar, which would be further fixed by intensive selection and pyramiding breeding. Such variation is of great value for breeding rapeseed with improved plant architecture and harvest index. 相似文献

Genomic affinities between Brassica napus and Raphanus raphanistrum as revealed by meiotic GISH 下载免费PDF全文
An intergeneric hybrid between Brassica napus (AC, n = 19) and Raphanus raphanistrum (Rr, n = 9) was developed using the sequential ovary–ovule culture. Morphological, molecular, cytological studies and fluorescent genomic in situ hybridization were conducted to establish the hybridity and genomic relatedness. F1 hybrid plants were male sterile and morphologically intermediate between the two parents. Cytological analysis of the hybrid plants revealed 10II + 8I as the predominant meiotic configuration with the mean bivalent frequency of 8.83. A maximum of 13II were observed in 8.24% of the pollen mother cells (PMCs). GISH studies facilitated the identification of two allopairs, confirming homoeologous pairing between A/C and Rr genomes. This may have significant implications in terms of transgene flow and possible introgression into R. raphanistrum, which is a common canola weed in Canada and Australia. The intergeneric hybrid B. napus × R. raphanistrum so produced also has the potential to be used as a bridging species for the transfer of desirable genes to amphiploid crop Brassica species carrying A/C genomes. 相似文献

The potential for gene flow between Camelina sativa, a promising edible and industrial oil crop in Canada, and its wild North American relatives C. alyssum, C. microcarpa and C. rumelica subsp. rumelica, was investigated. Sequence analysis of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) was used to differentiate Camelina species and/or accession‐specific nucleotide markers and identify interspecific F1 hybrids. ITS analysis identified hybrids in progeny of C. alyssum × C. sativa, C. microcarpa accession 36010 × C. sativa and C. sativa × C. rumelica subsp. rumelica. Seed set on C. alyssum × C. sativa F1 and F2 progeny was similar to the parents; few seeds were produced on hybrid progeny of C. microcarpa accession 36010 × C. sativa and C. sativa × C. rumelica subsp. rumelica. The study provided evidence that should the species have sympatric distributions and overlapping flowering periods, gene flow between C. sativa and its wild North American relatives is possible and that it would most likely occur with C. alyssum given the high fertility of the F1 hybrids recovered. 相似文献

Ploidy level and intergenomic recombination was studied in interspecific hybrids between Longiflorum × Asiatic lilies (LA
hybrid) backcross to Asiatic parents in order to assess the possibility for analytic breeding in lily. By backcrossing the
diploid (2n = 2x = 24) F1 interspecific hybrid between Longiflorum × Asiatic lilies to Asiatic parents, 104 BC1 progeny plants were produced.
Among these, there were 27 diploids, 73 triploids (2n = 2x = 36) and 4 aneuploids (2x − 1, 2x + 2 or 2x + 3). In addition, by backcrossing triploid BC1 (LAA) plants to diploid Asiatic parents in 2x − 3x and reciprocal combinations, 14 diploid BC2 progenies were produced. Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) was performed to
study the intergenomic recombination and karyotype composition. GISH indicated extensive intergenomic recombination among
the chromosomes in LA hybrids. A large number of Longiflorum chromosomes were transmitted to the BC1 progenies from LA hybrids.
However, very few Longiflorum chromosomes were transmitted from the BC1 triploid (LAA) plants to the BC2 progenies. The occurrence
of diploid plants in the BC progenies of LA hybrids has opened the prospects of analytic breeding in lilies. In this approach,
the selection of superior genotypes can be carried out at the diploid level and polyploid forms are synthesized from superior
diploid parents. The advantages of analytic breeding are evident: (a) a maximum level of heterozygosity can be attained in
the synthetic polyploids and (b) introgression can be achieved with a minimum of linkage drag. Based on GISH results the potential
application of analytic breeding in lily allopolyploids has been discussed. 相似文献

Grasslands species, like others crops, no longer benefit from high atmospheric sulphur deposition. This may cause sulphur limitation and in turn may induce a shift in plant communities by altering species performance and competitive abilities. To test this hypothesis, a greenhouse pot experiment was designed to investigate the interacting effects of sulphur (S) and nitrogen (N) availability on production, morphology and competitive abilities of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). Plants were grown in monocultures and mixtures during 4 months. They were supplied with combinations of three levels of S and three levels of N and subjected to three defoliation events. Both S and N gradients altered plants performance and modulated competitive interactions. In L. perenne, above- and below-ground dry matter production, leaf and tiller number and contribution to mixture DM production were little affected by S, but highly by N. For T. repens, these traits were significantly increased by S, but only slightly by N. At establishment, T. repens was subjected to a significant interspecific competition at low N–low S and high N–high S. But at regrowth (cuts 2 and 3), T. repens was much more affected by intra- than interspecific competition. L. perenne was only sensitive to competition (intraspecific) when N supply was combined with no or moderate S supply. We conclude that N:S ratio of soil appears to drive species production, morphology and competitive abilities, which in turn affect leguminous–gramineous species ratio and grassland plant community structure. Since the growth of T. repens was significantly reduced in low S treatments, our results suggest that the drastic fall in atmospheric sulphur deposition could restrict leguminous species in high N soil conditions. 相似文献

This study aimed to reduce the gap of knowledge on white lupin drought tolerance variation, by assessing the grain yield of 21 landraces from major historical cropping regions, one variety and two breeding lines in a large phenotyping platform that imposed controlled severely stressed or moisture‐favourable conditions after an initial stage of favourable growth. Drought stress reduced grain yield by 79%. Genetic correlation coefficients indicated moderate consistency of genotype responses across conditions for grain yield (rg = 0.76), fairly high consistency for straw yield (rg = 0.85) and harvest index (rg = 0.91), and high consistency for flowering time (rg = 0.99). However, low genetic correlation for yield (rg = 0.31) occurred among a subset of genotypes with early phenology. Specific adaptation to either condition implied significant (p = 0.05) genotype × condition interaction of crossover type between well‐performing genotypes. Early flowering was an important stress escape mechanism, but intrinsic drought tolerance could be inferred from responses of a few genotypes. Various landraces out‐yielded the improved germplasm under stressed or favourable conditions. 相似文献

Wheat × Imperata cylindrica‐mediated approach of doubled haploidy breeding requires hand emasculation followed by pollination with I. cylindrica pollen. The pace of this endeavour can be enhanced by utilizing asynchronous flowering of wheat spikes by direct pollination without emasculation followed by morphological marker–assisted screening of selfed and crossed seeds. The emasculated and un‐emasculated spikes of 13 spring and six winter wheat genotypes and two triticale × wheat derivatives were pollinated with I. cylindrica pollen. The response of different genotypes for production of crossed and selfed seeds with direct pollination varied significantly within and between groups for spring and winter wheats, whereas triticale × wheat derivatives responded similarly to each other but significantly different from spring and winter wheats. Although, the proportion of pseudoseed formation was lower in case of direct pollination, yet in some genotypes, it was comparable to that of pollination after emasculation. Moreover, the response for haploid embryo induction frequency was similar in both the cases. The method of direct pollination can be utilized for easy and economical induction of haploids. 相似文献

Sexual polyploids were induced in diploid (2n = 2x = 24) interspecific F1 hybrids of Longiflorum × Asiatic (LA) and Oriental × Asiatic (OA) Lilium hybrids by backcrossing to Asiatic (AA) parents as well as by sib-mating of the F1 LA hybrids. A majority of the BC1 progenies
were triploid and the progenies from sib-mating were tetraploid or near tetraploids. Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH)
technique was applied to assess the intergenomic recombination in the BC1 populations of LA and OA hybrids obtained after
unilateral sexual polyploidization. A total of 63 LA (LA × AA and AA × LA) and 53 OA hybrids were analysed. LA hybrids were
originated through the functioning of 2n gametes either as 2n eggs or 2n pollen while those of OA hybrids originated through functional 2n pollen of diploid OA genotype. In both type of crosses, a majority of the progenies had originated through First Division
Restitution (FDR) mechanism of functional 2n gamete either with or without a cross over. However, there were nine LA- and four OA-genotypes where Indeterminate Meiotic
Restitution (IMR) was the mechanism of 2n gamete formation. Based on GISH, total amount of introgression of Longiflorum and Oriental genome into Asiatic genome was
determined. Most of the BC progenies exhibited recombination and the amount of recombination was higher in LA hybrids as compared
to OA hybrids. Intergenomic recombination was also determined cytologically in the 16 plants of sib-mated LA hybrids where
both parents had contributed 2n gametes. Based on these results the nature of interspecific lily hybrids obtained from uni- and bilateral sexual polyploidization
leading to allotriploid and allotetraploid formation is discussed in the context of introgression and intergenomic recombination. 相似文献

Investigations on interspecific crossability in two species of the genus Citrullus were studied based on their morphology, chromosome pairing and pollen fertility in their hybrids resulting from 12 combinations(including
reciprocals). These have been utilized for tracing the phylogenetic relationship between the taxa and factors responsible
for their differentiation. A collective evaluation of data on cross compatibility,morphology, chromosome association and pollen
fertility indicated a close phylogenetic relationship between the species C. colocynthis (wild2n = 22) and C. vulgaris (cultivated 2n = 22). Significant differences for crossability and pollen fertility were observed between hybrids of C. colocynthis × C. vulgaris and reciprocals. Meiotic analysis of F1 hybrids revealed that these two species are freely crossable and provide normal chromosome association, involving an average
of 9 to maximum 11 pairs of chromosomes. This indicated the possibility of high recombination and thereby genetic introgression
of desirable traits. As both the species are of economic significance, breeding strategies can be developed for the genetic
improvement of these species.

Cultivation of the same varieties of mungbean and blackgram across different seasons and locations is constrained by their photo‐ and thermo‐sensitive behaviour. Developing insensitive genotypes, which can fit well across all seasons, requires robust donors which would provide genes imparting this trait. This study was undertaken to identify such donors in the Vigna species. Forty‐eight accessions belonging to 13 Vigna species and eight released cultivars were evaluated under natural field conditions. Among these, two accessions, viz. V. umbellata (IC251442) and V. glabrescens (IC251372) were found photo‐ and thermo‐insensitive as these were able to flower and set pods at temperatures as high as 43.9°C and as low as 2.7°C. Pollen viability studies indicated viable pollen (>75% at 2.7°C and >85% at 41.9°C) and normal pollen tube growth at both the extremes of temperature. The identified V. glabrescens accession has long, constricted pods and dark green, mottled seeds while V. umbellata has smooth, curved pods and shining, oval, large seeds. Both these accessions can be utilized in developing photo–thermo insensitive genotypes in cultivated Vigna species. 相似文献

Development of effective molecular markers linked to Pm21 deriving from Haynaldia villosa is critical for wheat breeding of powdery mildew resistance. In this study, we designed 12 pairs of conserved‐intron scanning primers (CISPs), using intron‐containing conserved genes located on the short arm of Brachypodium distachyon chromosome 3 (3BdS) aligned with cDNA or expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of Triticeae crops. Of 12 CISP primer pairs, 11 amplified DNA both in H. villosa and in wheat, and four displayed H. villosa chromosome 6VS‐specific polymorphisms. Six non‐polymorphic DNAs were further sequenced for designing internal primers, and five additional 6VS‐specific markers were obtained. Of the total nine 6VS‐specific co‐dominant markers, six could effectively trace Pm21 in F2 population derived from the hybrid between the T6AL.6VS line and ‘Yangmai 158’. This study demonstrated that Brachypodium genomic information could be powerfully utilized to develop molecular markers in H. villosa or other Triticeae species. 相似文献
