Cultivation of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is strongly affected by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. To identify new sources of genetic diversity for sunflower breeding 25 sunflower inbred lines were analysed using eight Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) primer combinations and their genetic similarities (GS) were estimated. Data were used to develop a Unweighted Pair Group Method using Arithmetic Averages (UPGMA) dendrogram. GS values of 0.58‐0.98 were observed but with no separate groupings dependant on oil quality. The inbred lines were screened for their reaction to inoculation with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary. Sunflower heads were artificially inoculated with S. sclerotiorum in three environments. Head infection was monitored after 1 week (lesion length) and 2 weeks (head rot). The F5 generation of a cross between a resistant (SWS‐B‐04) and a susceptible inbred line (SWS‐B‐01) was also tested for sclerotinia reaction across three environments. Significant differences in sclerotinia resistance, moderate heritabilities and a high correlation between the two assessments were observed. Inbred lines with a high level of resistance could be identified. These lines can be used for further breeding to improve sunflower sclerotinia resistance and to develop superior new hybrids.  相似文献

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is considered the most devastating pathogen of sunflower grown in humid environments. In this study, progenies of partial hybrids between Helianthus maximiliani, a wild species that has been shown to be resistant to S. sclerotiorum, and H. annuus were characterized by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis to identify whether there are introgressions from H. maximiliani into the cultivated sunflower at the molecular level. Wild species‐specific fragments as well as fragments not found in either parent were detected. Progenies tended to cluster together according to the original partial hybrids in the dendrogram by the use of bootstrap procedures. The progenies were studied for their reaction to S. sclerotiorum using artificial inoculation of sunflower heads. Some of the progenies showed a higher level of resistance compared with resistant inbred lines. It was possible to identify two AFLP‐fragments which seem to be linked to Sclerotinia resistance.  相似文献

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is one of the most devastating pathogens of sunflower (Helianthus annuus), causing yield losses up to 100%. This study was conducted to (1) screen sunflower lines for their reaction to Sclerotinia using artificial infection by a modified leaf test, and (2) identify the most suitable trait for screening against Sclerotinia resistance. A set of 85 inbred lines was screened in three environments by infecting the leaves with mycelium and covering them with plastic bags containing water. Susceptibility was assessed by leaf lesion, petiole score, stem rating, stem lesion and diseased stems. The test proved to be effective and practicable, with an infection rate of up to 99%. All scoring traits were strongly correlated with each other and effective in differentiating among susceptible and resistant lines. Although petiole score had the highest heritability, its association with leaf length hampers its utilization as a scoring trait. Stem lesion was a good predictor of mid-stalk rot and can be recommended as a reliable trait for screening sunflower lines against Sclerotinia based on its high heritability estimate (h2= 0.59) and close correlations with other traits measured after artificial and natural infection.  相似文献

Helianthus argophyllus is a wild species known as “silver sunflower”, which possesses several traits, including morphological traits that increase drought tolerance. Therefore, introgressions between chosen cultivated lines and two H. argophyllus accessions were made, and segregating generations were established. Important agronomic traits including single heading, high pollen fertility, silver canopy (indicating more cuticular wax), and content of cuticular waxes and oil were selected over six segregating generations. The resulting F6 lines showed introgression of water saving traits, as they had lower excise leaf water loss, with comparable yield to standard checks. However, these F6 lines were late maturing and showed poor flowering synchronization between the cultivated and introgressed lines. Introgressed line “D‐22” was particularly promising as a breeding line, with superior agronomic and drought resistance traits. This line had the potential to be used as an inbred parental line for introgression of drought resistance traits into elite sunflower germplasm. Combining ability analysis of the introgressed lines further showed their potential for heterosis breeding or to be used as parental lines in breeding programme.  相似文献

Summary Twenty sunflower inbred lines were studied for their reactions to 7 Sclerotinia sclerotiorum tests on different plant parts. A principal component analysis (P.C.A.) and t-tests on the means of resistant and susceptible groups indicated that reactions of inbred lines to infection of capitula by ascospores are independent from those to ascospore infections of terminal buds. They are even more contrasted with the results of any test measuring mycelial extension. However, for the last, there is a close association between the reactions of roots, leaves and capitula. Of the inbred lines, some showed good levels of resistance to most forms of attack, others were generally susceptible and there were some with good resistance to one particular form of attack. A P.C.A. of 18 morphological and field characters showed no general association between these characters and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum test results, although it was found that lines resistant to mycelial extension on capitula were generally earlier than those that were more susceptible. It is proposed that breeding programmes for general resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum should include a combination of two or three tests.  相似文献

Predicting single‐cross performance is of high importance to improve the efficiency of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrid breeding programmes. We used experimental data from inter‐ and intragroup sunflower hybrids and their parental lines adapted to Central Europe to (i) study the genetic diversity and combining ability and (ii) examine the accuracy to predict hybrid performance based on phenotypic and genomic data. We evaluated 133 intragroup and 104 intergroup hybrids with their parental lines in replicated trials at four environments for grain yield, oil yield and oil content. Furthermore, the parental lines were fingerprinted with 572 AFLP markers. Variance due to specific combining ability was comparable for intergroup and intragroup crosses. This suggested a lack of clearly defined heterotic groups for the sample of studied sunflower lines. Prediction accuracy of hybrid performance based on general combining ability effects was high and could not be increased using genomic selection approaches. For situations where no information on GCA effects of parental lines was available, hybrid prediction based on genomic selection methods was accurate for groups of related lines. For groups of unrelated lines, however, we observed a strong decrease in the prediction accuracy. This suggests that prediction of hybrid performance for crosses based on genetically distant parents remains challenging.  相似文献

Disease symptoms and total soluble phenolics content have been analysed in four sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)lines with different resistance levels(from highly susceptible to resistant) to head rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary. At the beginning of the flowering stage, capitula were inoculated by spraying with a water suspension of ascospores, and disease symptoms were evaluated from day 6 to day14 after inoculation. The most susceptible genotypes showed all their ovaries to be necrosed and abundant lesions in corollas, bracts and receptacle. In the resistant line, the ovary and corolla were only partially necrosed with no symptoms in the bracts or the receptacle. Total soluble phenolics were extracted and quantified from different parts of the capitulum in both inoculated and non-inoculated plants. The amount of phenolic compounds depended on the sunflower line, the time after inoculation, and the tissue. Higher constitutive and induced phenolic content as well as phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity were present in the most resistant line, these differences correlated with the absence/presence of disease symptoms. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Interspecific hybrids and backcross generations between the wild perennial species Helianthus resinosus, Helianthus paucifiorus, Helianthus laevigatus, Helianthus nuttallii ssp. nuttallii T. & G. and Helianthus giganteus, resistant to broomrape (Orobanche cernua) and susceptible inbred lines were obtained to study crossability to cultivated sunflower and the transmission and expression of resistance to this parasitic weed. Conventional crosses with all the species tested were successful except for the crosses with diploid H. giganteus, for which embryo rescue techniques were needed to overcome hybrid incompatibility. Pollen viability and seed set were highest for F1 hybrids with hexaploid species and lowest for those with the diploid H. giganteus. We evaluated F1, BC1F1, some BC2F1 plants and the wild and cultivated parents. The wild species and interspecific hybrids were resistant to broomrape infection except for H. nuttallii, which showed segregation, indicating that the resistance is dominant. The crossability and resistance of F1, and back-cross generations of species with different ploidy levels indicate that the transfer of broomrape resistance to cultivated sunflower is feasible.  相似文献

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) DNA marker resources are currently very limited. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of transferring non-genic microsatellite (SSR) markers and gene-based markers, including intron fragment length polymorphism (IFLP) and resistance gene candidates (RGC)-based markers from sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) to safflower, both species belonging to the Asteraceae family. Cross-species amplification of 119 non-genic SSRs, 48 IFLPs, and 19 RGC-based sunflower markers in 22 lines and germplasm accessions of safflower was evaluated. Additionally, 69 EST-SSR markers previously reported to amplify in safflower were tested. The results showed that 17.6% of the non-genic SSR, 56.2% of the IFLP, and 73.7% of the RGC-based markers were transferable to safflower. The percentage of transferable markers showing polymorphic loci was 66.6% for non-genic SSR, 70.6% for EST-SSR, 55.5% for IFLP, and 71.4% for RGC-based markers. The highest polymorphism levels were found for non-genic SSR. The average number of alleles per polymorphic locus and mean heterozygosity values were 2.9 and 0.46, respectively, for non-genic SSR, 2.2 and 0.35 for EST-SSR, 2.1 and 0.24 for IFLP, and 2.0 and 0.34 for RGC-based markers. The results of this study revealed a low rate of transferability for non-genic SSR sunflower markers and a better rate of transferability for IFLP and RGC-based markers. Transferable genic and non-genic sunflower markers can have utility for trait and comparative mapping studies in safflower.  相似文献

To enhance efficiency of breeding programmes for Sclerotinia sclerotiorum resistance in sunflower capitula, two separate resistance tests have been recommended. However, the time necessary to develop genotypes with two types of resistance makes this impractical. A strategy to combine the two tests was consequently proposed to reduce the number of seasons per selection cycle, but genetic studies were necessary to determine if it could be applied in breeding programmes. This was the objective of this work. Data from two genetically different sunflower inbred lines and their F1, F2 and backcross generations were analysed in two years to determine the genetics of resistance to S. sclerotiorum in capitula measured by application on the same plants of a mycelium test combined with an ascospore test. Effects of maternal origin were detected when the reciprocal generations were evaluated for the mycelium test. This suggests the importance of choice of the inbred line used as female in population formation by hybridisation. Progeny subjected to the mycelium test did not show any change in relative reactions to two S. sclerotiorum isolates suggesting that ranking genotypes according to the results of combined S. sclerotiorum tests is repeatable across Sclerotinia isolates and experimental seasons. Moderate narrow sense heritability indicated that selection of the best F2 plants should be effective. Genetic gain from selection is possible because a reduction of lesion areas produced by the mycelium test can be expected. Additive gene effects contribute significantly to reduction in lesion area. Consequences of results in population improvement for S. sclerotiorum resistance in capitula are discussed. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum infections on sunflower capitula produce white rot, one of the most dangerous diseases sunflower bears in all humid areas. Therefore, disease quantification on developed genetic materials is a very important action in sunflower breeding. Given the horizontal type of resistance these evaluations should be made in different environments. Several hybrids obtained after crossing seven female × seven male sunflower inbred lines in a factorial mating design were evaluated for resistance to white rot in two locations in the southeast of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Disease incidence and the symptom appearance index indicated significant genotypic effects and genotype × environment (G × E) interactions. Genotypic effects were a greater source of variance than the G × E interaction effects. The G × E interactions only represented changes in magnitude. These results were used to identify the best genotypes for both resistance factors. Four hybrids showed low disease incidence values under both artificial and natural infections, of which only two had high values of the symptom appearance index at both locations. These hybrids are considered to have adequate resistance attributes for the ascosporic penetration and the mycelium extension in the capitulum tissue and could therefore be sown in the province of Buenos Aires without increasing risks of S. sclerotiorum attacks.  相似文献

Biomass partitioning was studied in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) inbred lines and their hybrids differing in salinity resistance. Differential biomass partitioning was observed among resistant and susceptible lines as well as within resistant lines, which were grown in large pots. Traits such as number of dead leaves and total number of nodes may be used as dominant markers for understanding the mechanism of resistance to salinity. Multi-location trials differing for salinity levels showed low and non-significant heritabilities across the environment for biochemical traits showing their sensitivity to the environment and a significant G X E interaction. Thus selection could only possible within the salinity level for these traits. Contrastingly, morphological traits such as number of nodes showed significant heritabilities (narrow or broad sense) across the environment. These traits may be exploited by the selection of inbred lines across or with salinity levels. Among various salinity levels, 12 dSm?1 was found to be feasible for screening and selection as it promoted the additive type of gene action.  相似文献

A backcrossing programme was carried out both to assess the stability of a cytoplasmic male‐sterility (CMS) source from Helianthus resinosus, designated RES1, and to incorporate it into inbred sunflower lines (HA89, RHA271, RHA801). All the progenies, grown in different environments, were completely male‐sterile. This suggests that the expression of this cytoplasm is stable. Female‐fertility of lines HA89, RHA271 and RHA801 carrying CMS RES1 were compared with those of the corresponding fertile inbred lines. There were no differences in the number of seeds per head. This indicates that female‐fertility is not affected by RES1 cytoplasm. Cytological studies showed that meiosis proceeds normally until the tetrad stage; consequently, the absence of pollen is caused by alterations that take place during postmeiotic stages. With the aim of identifying male‐fertility restorer genotypes, crosses were made between HA89 (CMS RES1) plants and different annual diploid and perennial hexaploid Helianthus species. All the diploid germplasm evaluated behaved as a CMS RES1 maintainer. However, the hexaploid species, H. resinosus, H. x laetiflorus, H. pauciflorus and H. tuberosus, restored pollen fertility in CMS RES1 plants.  相似文献

Phomopsis helianthi (sexual stage Diaporthe helianthi) is a major disease in most sunflower growing countries. The objectives of this study were (1) to investigate whether resistance to Phomopsis differs between the leaf and stem tissue and (2) to examine the genetic variation for resistance to Phomopsis in sunflower inbreds. A set of 16 inbred lines was tested using artificial leaf infection with mycelial explants. The lines were screened for their reaction on leaf and stem in four environments to a French Phomopsis isolate and in two environments to a Yugoslavian isolate. Significant genetic variance and mostly high genetic ratios (analogous to heritability) were found for all resistance traits. While fungal growth reflected resistance to Phomopsis in the leaf, petiole score was associated with leaf length. Stem lesion proved to be the most suitable trait for evaluating resistance in the petiole-stem passage. No correlation existed between resistance in the leaf and stem, suggesting that both resistance factors are inherited independently. Both isolates resulted in similar resistance rankings of the inbreds and no difference in their aggressiveness was detected with regard to leaf resistance. Screening for Phomopsis consisting of several steps is recommended, beginning with petiole score or fungal growth to select the most susceptible plants in the early testing, and measuring stem lesion in further generations of breeding.  相似文献

Three diploid perennial sunflower species are useful for variety improvement: Helianthus mollis, because of sessile leaves, H. salicifolius, because of a high oil concentration, and H. maximiliani, a potential source of resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The crossability of these species to cultivated sunflower was examined.Hybrids were obtained from eight combinations, with 3–15 F1 plants per combination. The F1's exhibited the dominant phenotype of the wild species. Pollen viability varied between 32.1 and 69.9%. Meiosis was irregular in the F1 hybrids. At diakinesis, bivalents (62.7–97.9% of meiocytes), univalents (0–31.23%), and multivalents (3.84–7.68%) were detected. At anaphase I, chromosome bridges were detected in 6.77 to 11.44% of meiocytes. Fast chromosomes in metaphase I, and lagging chromosomes in anaphase I and telophase II were evidenced in a high percentage of meiocytes.  相似文献

Alternaria leaf blight, caused by Alternaria helianthi Hanf., is one of the most important diseases of sunflower causing significant yield losses in several tropical countries. Yet, so far, only partial resistance for the disease has been discovered in the germplasm through conventional sporophytic selection. Therefore, the main objective of the present investigation was to compare sporophytic and gametophytic recurrent selection with the aim to enhance the level of resistance to Alternaria leaf blight. The base population was synthesized by random mating three populations- two interspecific derivatives involving different species of Helianthus and one germplasm accession based on their partial resistance to disease incidence. The base population was subjected to 1-2 cycles of both sporophytic and gametophytic selection. The gametophytic selection was practiced by applying pathogen culture filtrate to the stigma and style one hour before pollination. The selection response was measured by scoring the percent disease index at flowering, 15 days after flowering, and at physiological maturity and by quantifying economic yield gain. A significant reduction in mean per cent disease index values and a gain in seed yield were observed for both the types of selection cycles, but more so for gametophytic selection. The populations improved through gametophytic selection appear to be more promising as the pollen selection allowed the selection of rare favorable allelic combinations that would hardly be detected at the sporophytic level. A combination of gametophytic selection and conventional sporophytic selection should be considered as an effective tool in population improvement programs to achieve higher levels of resistance in relatively short time.  相似文献

Summary The Pl6 locus in the inbred sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) line HA335 giving resistance to French races of downy mildew (Plasmopara halstedii (Farl.) Berl. & de Toni. was localized by molecular techniques. A bulked segregant analysis was made on the F2 progeny from a cross between this line and H52, a downy mildew susceptible line. The resistance gene in HA335 was found to have the same linked RFLP marker loci as those determined for Pl1 (resistance to race 1 in the line RHA266) on linkage group 1 of the consensus RFLP map of the cultivated sunflower. Pl1 and Pl6 thus appear either to be allelic or closely linked. The implications for sunflower breeding are discussed.  相似文献

The genetic base of sunflower elite lines is very narrow, due to many years of selection and breeding. To broaden the genetic diversity of the cultivated sunflower, in 1995 73 wild sunflower populations were crossed with 3 cultivated lines (Testers), and 219 hybrid offspring’s were evaluated in the field. GCA and SCA effects were computed suggesting for all traits a genetic potential for improvement through selection. Study of the hybrids revealed that the wild accessions bear different genetic abilities to combine with the testers for traits of morphological architecture, phenology and yield (seed weight and seed oil). The variance due to GCA and SCA showed that gene action was additive for days to flowering, branching and plant height. Genotypes derived from the same geographic origin may have either good or poor general combing ability. The correlation between GCA and per se genotype performance was positive for all traits except for seed oil content. This was the first attempt to evaluate wild-cultivated hybrids in sunflower on a large scale and will be the starting point for the management of hybrid Helianthus annuus populations for breeding. GCA and SCA estimations will facilitate the definition of strategies to manage and exploit the natural diversity for this crop.  相似文献

Summary Resistance of sunflower leaves to attack by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was studied by infecting them, in the field, with agar disks containing Sclerotinia mycelium. Resistance levels were determined by the length of lesions after a given period. There were significant differences in reaction between both sunflower hybrids and inbred lines. Different Sclerotinia isolates gave the same classification of sunflower genotypes. The results of trials repeated in one year or different years were significantly correlated. The general combining ability variance/specific combining ability variance ratio was 1.35. Strict sense heritability was 0.61±0.03. The midparent-offspring correlation coefficient was significant, but the relation between per se values of the male parents used with the values of their hybrids was much closer than that for the female parents. Mean heterosis for resistance was 28.9%, compared with the midparent. The results of the leaf resistance test are frequently correlated with levels of resistance to root attack by Sclerotinia. Possible use of this test in breeding both directly for leaf resistance and indirectly for root resistance are discussed. H.P.L. Chromatography studies of the phenols present in healthy and infected leaves distinguished 19 compounds, all of the inhibitin type. There was a large increase in phenol content in leaves infected by Sclerotinia, for all genotypes. However, more especially in uninfected leaves, the contents of 3 chromatogram peaks, numbered 4, 6 and 9, showed a close relation with levels of Sclerotinia resistance. It is proposed that these compounds could be used as markers of certain types of resistance.  相似文献

Cultivated peanut, the second most economically important legume crop throughout the United States and the third most important oilseed in the world, is consistently threatened by various diseases and pests. Sclerotinia minor Jagger (S. minor), the causal agent of Sclerotinia blight, is a major threat to peanut production in the Southwestern U.S., Virginia, and North Carolina and can reduce yield by up to 50% in severely infested fields. Although host plant resistance would provide the most effective solution to managing Sclerotinia blight, limited sources of resistance to the disease are available for use in breeding programs. Peanut germplasm collections are available for exploration and identification of new sources of resistance, but traditionally the process is lengthy, requiring years of field testing before those potential sources can be identified. Molecular markers associated with phenotypic traits can speed up the screening of germplasm accessions, but until recently none were available for Sclerotinia blight resistance in peanut. This study objective of this study was to characterize the US peanut mini-core collection with regards to a recently discovered molecular marker associated with Sclerotinia blight resistance. Ninety-six accessions from the collection were available and genotyped using the SSR marker and 39 total accessions from spanish, valencia, runner market types were identified as new potential sources of resistance and targeted for further evaluation in field tests for Sclerotinia blight resistance.  相似文献
