Hydrochemistry of an alluvial river was investigated employing the chemometric techniques such as cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA), discriminant analysis (DA) and partial least square (PLS) with a view to extract information about the variables responsible for spatial and temporal variations in river hydrochemistry and water quality, the hidden factors explaining the structure of the hydro-chemical database of the river, factors/processes influencing the river hydro-chemistry. Analysis of spearman's correlation coefficient revealed non-significant correlation of the pollution indicator (BOD, COD, SO4, F, NH4-N, NO3-N) variables with season and significant correlation with site, indicating contribution of the site-specific anthropogenic sources in the catchments. Spatial CA clustered the monitoring sites (10nos.) into three groups of relatively non-polluted sites, moderately polluted sites, and highly polluted sites. Temporal CA differentiated among the samples of monsoon and non-monsoon months. PCA rendered considerable data reduction, in terms of eight parameters explaining about 71% of the total variance and evolved six PCs. PCA grouped samples belonging to different seasons and sites distinctly correlating them with natural and anthropogenic variables. Temporal and spatial DA rendered 97 and 92% correct assignations of the samples, respectively, and revealed that temperature, pH, BOD, DO, alkalinity and Ca are the most significant variables to discriminate between the different seasons and account for most of the expected temporal variations in hydrochemistry of the river, whereas, hardness, DO, BOD, COD, Ca and Mg were the most significant discriminating variables in space. Spatial and temporal groupings of the samples were successfully achieved through PLS modeling. PLS showed that the summer season samples are dominated by PO4, TDS, F, K, COD, BOD, Na, Cl, hardness and alkalinity, whereas, samples of winter season by DO, pH, NH4-N and coliforms. Furthermore, PLS indicated site-specific dominance of anthropogenic contaminants suggesting for their pollution sources in the corresponding catchments of these sites. 相似文献

We analyzed 17 seed sources (seed stands) of Pinus wallichiana for variations present in cone and seed characters, scattered over natural distribution in north-west Himalayan states (Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh) of India. The significant variations were observed in cone weight, cone length, cone width, seed length, seed width, seed weight, seed germination, radicle length, and plumule length among different seed sources of the species. Significant positive correlation between seed weight, cone weight and cone width showed that seed weight in the species depend more on the cone size. Seed germination was also positively correlated with seed weight, cone weight and radicle length in the study. The estimates of variability with regard to genetic parameters for seed weight, seed germination, cone length, cone width, cone weight showed wide range of variation in the study. Seed weight showed high heritability values coupled with maximum genetic gain. Traits with such values indicate presence of good amount of heritable additive components and are under strong genetic control. The findings of the study revealed that seed sources expressed both phenotypic and genotypic differences in the seed and cone traits which might be due to the differences in genetic make up of various seed sources and environmental factors i.e. genotypic and environmental interaction. The study suggests that the seed weight should be given the top priority for the further improvement of this species. 相似文献

Variability in seed traits and genetic divergence in a clonal seed orchard of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb.
The variations in seed and pod traits, genetic superiority and genetic divergence were evaluated for a Clonal Seed Orchard (CSO) of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. at Bithmera, India consisting of 20 clones from different agro-climatic conditions of four northern states (Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana and Rajasthan). The seeds and pods of various clones in the orchard exhibited significant variability in size, weight and other characters. Significant positive correlations were observed between seed length and seed width (p<0.05), seed length and seed thickness (p<0.01), seed length and seed weight (p<0.01), seed thickness and seed weight (p<0.01), seed length and germination value (p<0.05). The genetic parameters for seed and pod traits also showed a wide range of variations in the orchard. Heritability values were found to be over 50 percent for most of the seed and pod traits. Seed weight, seed length and seed thickness showed high heritability values coupled with maximum genetic gain for these characters. Ward’s minimum variance dendrogram of clones of D. sissoo showed three distinct clusters; cluster 1 was the largest with 12 better clones whereas cluster 2 and 3 consisting of seven moderate clones and one poor clone, respectively. Mean cluster values showed sufficient variation among the clusters for seed weight, germination value and seed length. The possible hybridization between best clones of cluster 1 to the disease resistant clone of cluster 2 (resistant against deadly Gandoderma lucidum root rot disease of D. sissoo) is also suggested for further breeding programmes of the species. The deployment of clone 194 (better performed and disease resistant) is also recommended in future plantation programmes of D. sissoo in northern India. 相似文献

Investigations were made to determine the nature and extent of variations present for 10 morphological characters of cone,seed and seedlings of 17 plus trees(PTs)of Pinus kesiya growing in eastern Himalayas(Meghalaya state) of India.The significant variations has been observed in cone weight,cone length,cone diameter,seed length,seed diameter,seed weight,number of seeds per cone,seed germination,seedling height and seedling collar diameter among different PTs of the species.Significant positive correlation(p \ 0.01) between seed weight,cone length and cone diameter showed that seed weight in P.kesiya depend more on the cone size.Seed germination is found positively correlated(p \ 0.01) with seed weight,seed diameter,cone size and number of seeds per cone in the study.Among geographical factors,latitude and altitude are found positively correlated(p \ 0.05) with cone weight and seed diameter,respectively.The genetic parameters for seed,cone and seedlings of PTs of P.kesiya also showed a wide range of variability in terms of variance,coefficient of variability,broad sense heritability,genetic advance and genetic gain.Seed weight,seeds per cone and seedling diameter showed high heritability values([75) coupled with maximum genetic gain.Traits with such values indicate the presence of good amount of heritable additive components and are under strong genetic control.The findings of the study revealed that PTs expressed both phenotypic and genotypic differences in the seed,cone and seedling characters,which may be attributed to the differences in genetic makeup of various PTs and environmental factors i.e.genotypic and environmental interaction.The presence of high variability in P.kesiya PTs for different characters provide further opportunities to improve the population in subsequent generations so as to establish this species as an important timber tree to be grown on less fertile and degraded soils in its distributional ranges. 相似文献
