Genetic potential and stability of carotene content in cassava roots   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
People in vast areas of the tropics suffer from vitamin A deficiency, resulting in progressive eye damage and eventually leading to blindness. Improving the content of vitamin A precursors in staple crops could alleviate or solve such a problem. The objective of this work was to study the range of variability for carotene content in a sub-set of the global cassava germplasm collection, and to determine the inheritance of carotenes, as well as their stability in response to different processing methodologies. Genotypes with more than 2 mg carotenes/100 g of fresh roots have been selected as parental material for population development. Although root colour is highly correlated with carotene content, a quantitative evaluation of genotypes selected by colour is required in order to increase the efficiency of selection. Relatively few major genes are involved in the determination of carotene accumulation in cassava roots. Stability of carotenes in response to different processing methods is genotypically dependant, representing a trait to be evaluated after selecting for high carotene concentration in fresh roots. The results from this work have provided the basis for defining future strategies for the improvement of the nutritional quality of cassava.

高效液相色谱-蒸发光检测法测定木薯生氰糖苷的含量   总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1  
为研究所收集木薯品种叶片中生氰糖苷含量的高低,笔者将所有品种茎杆按木薯正常种植方式扦插于试验地中,在收获季节前采集顶端倒数第2叶,通过HPLC测定各品种叶片中生氰糖苷的含量。结果表明,与国外所用木薯品种‘Mcol22’相比,在笔者所测试的木薯品种中,包括热区大面积推广的‘华南5号’(SC5)和‘华南8号’(SC8)中,大部分生氰糖苷含量都不高,其中‘Q10’生氰糖苷最低,每克鲜重只有11.3μmol,大约是最高含量‘Ecu81’的1/4。研究结果为筛选低生氰糖苷含量的木薯资源提供了一个参考。  相似文献

Physiological postharvest deterioration (PPD) of cassava is the main constraint affecting its nutritional and economical values. PPD is induced by wounds when detaching storage roots from mother plant during harvesting. It is accelerated by the reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as oxygen ion (O2) and peroxide (O2)?2. The carotenoid content and its antioxidant property can help in extending shelf life of cassava storage roots. The primary mode of action of carotenoids as antioxidant is to quench singlet oxygen. Cassava breeding was reported to successfully introgress and improve carotenoid content into cassava. The two types of phytoene synthase (PSY) enzymes (PSY1 and PSY2) are key regulators of carotenoids accumulation in cassava. Carotenoids formation and accumulation in cassava storage roots are induced by a single nucleotide polymorphism in PSY2 which causes a non‐conservative amino acid exchange. This single nucleotide polymorphism in PSY gene is co‐segregated with β‐carotene in cassava storage roots, a phenomenon that could help to unravel the mechanism of introgression of carotenoids into cassava. This article investigates breeding feasibility for improving quality of cassava landraces in developing countries.  相似文献

Cassava roots, a major food in Africa, contain cyanogenic glucosides that may cause toxic effects. Malawian women farmers considered fields of seemingly similar cassava plants to be mixes of both ‘cool’ and ‘bitter’ cultivars. They regard roots from ‘cool’ cultivars as non-toxic. Roots of ‘bitter’ were considered to require extensive traditional processing done by women to be safe for consumption. But curiously, these women farmers preferred ‘bitter’ cultivars since toxicity confers protection against theft, which was a serious threat to the food security of their families. We studied how well these farmers comprehend the effects of genetic variations in cassava when dealing with cyanogenesis in this complex system. Using molecular markers we show that most plants farmers identified as belonging to a particular named cultivar had a genotype typical of that cultivar. Farmers' ethno-classification into ‘cool’ and ‘bitter’ cultivars corresponded to a genetic sub-division of the typical genotypes of the most common cultivars, with four-fold higher cyanogenic glucoside levels in the bitter cultivars. Examining morphology, farmers distinguished genotypes better than did the investigators when using a standard botanical key. Undoubtedly, these women farmers grasp sufficiently the genetic diversity of cassava with regard to cyanogenesis to simultaneously benefit from it and avoid its dangers. Consequently, acyanogenic cassava – the breeding of which is an announced good of some cassava genetic improvement programmes – is not a priority to these farmers. Advances in molecular genetics can help improve food supply in Africa by rapid micropropagation, marker assisted breeding and introduction of transgenic varieties, but can also help to elucidate tropical small-scale farmers' needs and skills.

采用高效液相色谱检测60个不同玉米籽粒颜色自交系中类胡萝卜素(叶黄素、玉米黄质、β-隐黄质和β-胡萝卜素)含量,结果显示,叶黄素、玉米黄质、β-隐黄质和β-胡萝卜素的平均含量分别为56.32、0.85、1.31和5.75mg/kg。按籽粒颜色由浅到深,将60个玉米自交系分为4个等级,颜色越深的品种类胡萝卜素含量越高。对R、G、B、Gray值与类胡萝卜素含量进行相关分析表明,R、G、B和Gray值之间存在极显著正相关(P<0.01),相关系数分别为0.992(G与Gray)和0.939(R与Gray),4种类胡萝卜素含量间呈极显著正相关,相关系数分别为0.830(β-隐黄质与β-胡萝卜素)和0.815(β-隐黄质与玉米黄质)。根据类胡萝卜素含量对60个玉米自交系进行聚类分析,60个自交系分为5类,其中第1类类胡萝卜素含量最低,第2类属于中富含类胡萝卜素的自交系,第5类属于高维生素A含量的自交系。综上可知,类胡萝卜素的种类及其含量是影响籽粒颜色的重要因素,可为培育高胡萝卜素含量的玉米品种提供依据。  相似文献

Cassava roots have a short shelf life due to a process known as post-harvest physiological deterioration (PPD). Within 2–3 d undesirable vascular streaking in the root develops. Tolerance to PPD was recently reported in different cassava genotypes, opening up new opportunities to analyze biochemical changes in stored roots and in the functional properties of their starches. Roots from PPD-susceptible (HMC-1) and tolerant (AM 206-5) clones were harvested and stored for up to 14 d in ambient tropical conditions. AM 206-5 is also characterized by amylose-free starch. Roots and starch were analyzed each day. PPD levels differed significantly between the two clones (35% and 8% at day 14) and showed a relation to scopoletin synthesis, which reached maximum levels around day 3 or 4 of storage. Roots lost weight consistently during storage (≈10% in two weeks). Starch loss per day of root storage was estimated at about 1%. This could be the result of consistent increases in total sugars and respiration of root tissue. Important changes in starch properties were observed. Gel clarity decreased gradually during storage, with more pronounced changes occurring in starches from HMC-1. Swelling power decreased only in the case of AM 206-5. Gel viscosity increased in both genotypes. Improved tolerance to PPD could significantly reduce the economic impact of the short shelf life of ordinary cassava root processing. It remains to be seen, however, whether changes in stored roots positively or negatively affect the quality of the final product.  相似文献

A protocol was established for high frequency cyclic somatic embryogenesis for different varieties of cassava. An efficient plant regeneration system was developed for the high cyanogenic variety PRC60a. Linamarin content and linamarase activity were determined in various tissues of secondary somatic embryos and regenerated plants of PRC 60a. Both linamarin and linamarase activity were not detected in embryogenic callus, roots induced from callus and somatic embryo tissues. The stems and leaves of regenerated plants (in vitro) and storage roots and leaves of mature plants (in vivo), however, contained variable amounts of linamarin and linamarase activity whereas in the non storage root tissues (in vitro) only linamarin was detected. The present study suggested that the linamarin biosynthetic pathway may be absent or not switched on in the embryogenic callus and somatic embryos. The ploidy level and somatic chromosome number of the regenerated plants were found to be same as the source plants. The availability of this regeneration system would be useful not only for investigating cyanogenesis but also for genetic manipulation in cassava.

Common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) is an important annual forage legume. It is used as a cover crop, green manure, pasture legume and for silage and hay production. Its seeds can be used as a source of highly digestible protein and minerals in animal diets. However, their utilization as a feedstuff for monogastric animals is hindered by the fact that the seeds contain cyanogenic antinutritional factors that reduce their palatability. An effective utilization of V. sativa seeds as a successful monogastric feed stuff requires selection for higher protein availability and minimization of the cyanogenic antinutritional factors content. In this study, we selected one natural accession named Mjez Ibeb, from a collection of 25 accessions and cultivars, based on its superior agronomic performance and its naturally occurring genetic variation for cyanogenic traits. We investigated the genetic variation that exists for the cyanogenesis trait in more detail and analysed the seeds of 133 lines derived from accession Mjez lbeb. Of these, 40 naturally polymorphic lines that showed deficiencies in cyanogenesis and cyano‐amino acid content, were subsequently selected for detailed chemical analysis. Cyanogenic glucosides and cyano‐amino acid concentrations varied widely in the 40 lines. Multivariate analysis was performed and three lines (L16, L21, L18) with low content of cyanogenic compounds were identified.  相似文献

Summary Cyanogenesis, the production of HCN is a trait that can be found in all the major taxa. The system is particularly important in higher plants, both in view of the specialized mechanisms found in plants and with regard to the physiological and ecological function of HCN production. The present paper discusses the long history of cyanogenic research, the distribution of the cyanogenic substances among the taxa of higher plants, their localisation in the plant organs and their biosynthetic pathways. The same topics are discussed with regard to the specialized -glucosidases found in plants that play a role in the catabolism of the cyanogenic substances and in HCN production.The physiological and ecological functions of the cyanogenic systems are discussed with emphasis on the few species studied so far that are polymorphic, i.e. contain cyanogenic and acyanogenic individuals in the same population. Although research in this area is still in its infanthood, it is clear that cyanogenesis is part of a complex system that among others, gives protection against particular groups of herbivores. Apparently the defensive system is under some kind of constraint, developmental, selectional, or both, that prevents plants from having an absolute defense against herbivores. One such constraint viz. a negative effect of the cyanogenic system on growth and/or reproduction is discussed in some length. A number of cultivated species, i.e. cassava (Manihot esculenta), sorghum (Sorghum spp) and lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) to mention a few, are cyanogenic. Cyanogenesis in species used for human or lifestock consumption is generally considered an undesirable trait. On the other hand low levels of cyanogenesis may cause greater susceptibility to herbivores and consequently lower the yield. Apparently cyanogenesis is a character of interest for plant breeders trying to improve cyanogenic species.  相似文献

旨在降低或去除木薯的生氰糖苷,获得安全无毒木薯新品种。本研究以高氰和低氰5 个品种的木薯为材料,通过RT-PCR 方法,研究了生氰葡萄糖苷酶基因Linamarase 在木薯中的表达情况。木薯Linamarase 基因只在地上部分表达;5 个木薯品种,包括低氰和高氰品种,在块根中也均未检测到Linamarase 基因的表达。在地上部分中,顶芽的表达量要远远大于茎和成熟叶片的表达量,而且低氰和高氰品种在顶芽的表达量基本相同,但是低氰品种茎及成熟叶片中Linamarase 的表达量比高氰品种相对较高。木薯生氰糖苷酶Linamarase 在不同木薯品种不同组织的表达情况的不同,可以为筛选安全无毒木薯品种提供一个参考。  相似文献

Summary The two most serious diseases of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) are cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava bacterial blight (CBB) (Xanthomonas manihotis Starr). Clone 58308, derived from the third backcross of the interspecific cross of cassava (M. esculenta) x ceara rubber (M. glaziovii), showed a high level of resistance to both diseases. Crosses of 58308 with several other clones which varied from susceptible to moderately susceptible to both diseases gave progenies with a significant genotypic correlation between resistance to both diseases (r=0.90), apparently due to linkage. The heritabilities of resistance to the diseases were estimated at 50–70% for CMD and 25–65% for CBB. Resistance to both diseases is assumed to be polygenic. The correlated response to selection for CMD and for CBB was estimated.  相似文献

The presence and morphology of plant brace roots are important root architecture traits. Brace roots contribute significantly to effective anchorage and water and nutrient uptake during late growth and development, and more importantly, have a substantial influence on grain yield under soil flooding or water limited conditions. However, little is known about the genetic mechanisms that underlie brace root traits. In this study, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for presence of brace roots from the sorghum landrace “Sansui” were mapped and associated molecular markers were identified. A linkage map was constructed with 109 assigned simple sequence repeat markers using a F2 mapping population derived from the cross Sansui/Jiliang 2. Two QTLs associated with presence of brace roots were localized on chromosomes 6 and 7. The major QTL on chromosome 7 between markers Dsenhsbm7 and Xcup 70 explained about 52.5% of the phenotypic variation, and the minor QTL on chromosome 6 was flanked by Xtxp127 and Xtxp6 and accounted for 7.0% of phenotypic variation. These results will provide information for the improvement of sorghum root architecture associated with brace roots.  相似文献

Many important apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) fruit quality traits are regulated by multiple genes, and more information about quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for these traits is required for marker-assisted selection. In this study, we constructed genetic linkage maps of the Japanese apple cultivars ‘Orin’ and ‘Akane’ using F1 seedlings derived from a cross between these cultivars. The ‘Orin’ map consisted of 251 loci covering 17 linkage groups (LGs; total length 1095.3 cM), and the ‘Akane’ map consisted of 291 loci covering 18 LGs (total length 1098.2 cM). We performed QTL analysis for 16 important traits, and found that four QTLs related to harvest time explained about 70% of genetic variation, and these will be useful for marker-assisted selection. The QTL for early harvest time in LG15 was located very close to the QTL for preharvest fruit drop. The QTL for skin color depth was located around the position of MYB1 in LG9, which suggested that alleles harbored by ‘Akane’ are regulating red color depth with different degrees of effect. We also analyzed soluble solids and sugar component contents, and found that a QTL for soluble solids content in LG16 could be explained by the amount of sorbitol and fructose.  相似文献

The development of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) with a high yield under water-deficit conditions is one of the goal of the breeding programs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance and to select cassava accessions based on drought tolerance indices and productive potential under water stress. Forty-nine accessions were evaluated for five agronomic traits (plant height—PH, root yield—RoY, shoot yield—ShY, harvest index—HI; and dry matter content of roots—DMC) under full irrigation conditions and drought stress (DS). The accessions were selected based on: (i) high yield under drought conditions (HY-DS) and (ii) high drought tolerance (Dr-To) based on six different indices. Overall, water stress dramatically reduced the traits’ means (RoY—72.98%, ShY—54.95%, DMC—26.15%, HI—31.05%, and PH—32.95%). Low coincidence among the top ten accessions was identified based on HY-DS and Dr-To criteria. Therefore, considering only the most important traits (RoY and ShY), five accessions (BGM0815, BGM0598, 9624-09, BGM0818, and BRS Formosa) presented high HY-DS. In contrast, to Dr-To criterion, eight and nine accessions were selected for high yield of the aerial part (ShY and PH) and roots (RoY and DMC), respectively. The mean productivity, geometric mean productivity, and drought tolerance indices were the most promising to identify genotypes with high agronomic attributes, while drought susceptibility index, susceptibility, and yield stability index were suitable to identify the most drought tolerant accessions. This set of selected accessions can be used in breeding programs aimed at high yield and drought tolerance.  相似文献
