However, the major drawback is the sensitivity of pollen to higher irradiation doses as it induces abnormality in double fertilization process. Hence, optimization of irradiation doses for maximum recovery of healthy seed is very important. Present work analyzed the seed developmental pattern of Citrus grandis, pollinated with gamma irradiated pollen (100-500 Gy) of C. limon, C. limetta, and C. sinensis. Not a single fruit was retained on the tree till maturity in C. grandis × C. limon crosses; however, in other two cross combinations, fruits were harvested at maturity only up to 300 Gy irradiation doses. Among the harvested fruit, normal seed decreased gradually with increasing irradiation doses and less than 5 normal seeds per fruit were obtained at 300 Gy with maximum in C. grandis × C. limetta cross. However, abnormal and empty number no. of seeds has increased significantly with increasing irradiation doses. Developmental pattern of embryo and endosperm within normal seeds was also influenced significantly by irradiation treatment. At higher doses, seeds number with both embryo and endosperm was decreased gradually and at 300 Gy, it was reduced to 59.47% as compared to control.","PeriodicalId":13321,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44661936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Out of these, 18 primer pairs were polymorphic for the bulks and were used for bulk segregant analysis in 200 F2 plants. One major QTL for seed weight was identified on LG M with Sat_244 and Satt175 as flanking markers, explaining 19.0 per cent phenotypic variation. Two minor QTLs were also identified on LG D1b, one in interval Satt041-Sat_069 with an estimated phenotypic variation (R2) of 6.0 per cent and the other in interval Sat_069-Sat_0183 estimating 7.0 per cent phenotypic variance.

The relative stress tolerance was estimated for 22 agro-physiological traits. The principal component analysis (PCA) and relative stress indices (RSIs) of traits exhibited significant variation among the treatments and accessions. Based on RSIs, the PCA ranking analysis showed that the accessions IC 280489, PDM 139 and IC 76491 were highly ranked and tolerant to low P, drought and combined stresses. The relative increase in component traits such as photosynthetic parameters, relative water content, above-ground biomass, seed P content and number of pods plant–1 were higher while canopy temperature and water use efficiency were reduced in tolerant accessions. In contrast, IPM 2-3 was found to be relatively sensitive to all three treatments.

The population was evaluated under late sown (LS) and very late sown (VLS) conditions, by exposing to heat stress during rabi season. Positive association of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), thousand grain weight (TGW), grain weight per spike (GWS), biomass and grain yield (GY) under both production conditions was observed. However, canopy temperature (CT) and days to heading (DH) showed negative correlation with GY under heat stress. A total of 9 Quantitative trait loci (QTL) were discovered on 7 chromosomes, which includes 4 QTLs in LS and 5 QTLs under VLS condition. Combining the results of these QTLs revealed a major stable QTL for DH (qDH_iari_5A) on chromosome 5A with 23% and 26% explaining phenotypic variance under both sowing conditions. QTL for NDVI was detected on chromosome 1B while QTL for SL and GY on chromosome 2A.

Contrasts in heterobeltiosis, combining ability and stability parameters in three environments and interaction effects were observed. Gain in heterobeltiosis (%) for grain yield was observed with decreased environmental quality in different hybrid classes suggesting that heterozygous hybrids are more stable due to individual buffering in single crosses and both individual and population buffering in case of three way and double crosses. Significant increase in SCA effects was observed in moderate environment at Hyderabad rather than at high yielding environment Palem. Significant G × E and Environment (linear) in all the crosses was observed for grain yield suggesting the effect of environment and its pre dominant effect on grain yield.

Moderate to high magnitude of genotypic coefficient of variation and phenotypic coefficient of variation coupled with high heritability was observed for most quality traits. The first 7 components of PCA analysis contributed more than 75% cumulative variability. The training population grouped into three clusters in both the seasons. The number of pods/plant, pod and seed yield/plant were significantly and positively associated with each other, while test weight had negative association with number of pods/plant and had positive association with pod and seed yield during rainy season of 2015. The significant positive correlation was also observed between oil, linoleic acid and stearic acid; similarly, linoleic acid had positive association with stearic acid and palmitic acid. Significant negative correlation was observed between oil and protein content, oleic acid and linoleic acid content.
