In this study, we discovered high-quality Single Nucleotide Polymorphic markers (SNPs) in two widely cultivated maize hybrids and their parental inbreds. Paired-end double digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing was used to discover SNPs and a total of 30,764,454 reads with a read length of 151 bp per sample were generated. Genotyping of SNPs for maize hybrids ‘MAH 14-5’ and ‘Hema’ revealed a total of 47,812 and 15,815 Genetic Purity Analysis markers, respectively, of which 44,388 and 12,391 were unique with 3,424 being common to both hybrids. Identified SNPs were used to develop primers for Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR genotyping assays to determine the genetic purity of 10 seed lots and the results were found to correlate with Grow-out-Tests. Thus, the SNPs discovered in this study proved reliable to test the genetic purity of commercial seed lots. Advances in plant molecular breeding tools especially ddRADseq for SNP discovery offer new opportunities to genotype existing cultivars and accelerate the production of genetically pure seeds.","PeriodicalId":21662,"journal":{"name":"Seed Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67090075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bivariate scatter plots were used to identify possible relationships between seed morphometric attributes. Principal component analysis allowed the identification of three seed groups that are highly dependent on shape attributes and volume. One group involves seeds with high volume, low eccentricity, high roundness and medium flatness. Another group includes seeds with medium volume, high eccentricity, medium roundness and high flatness. The last group involves seeds with small volume, eccentricity, roundness, and flatness with high dispersion. Relationships between seed area or volume with the axes of the seeds suggest that their shapes are complex.

Phalaris arundinacea is an efficient C3 plant, which can be used for feed, fuel, water and soil conservation, and as an indicator plant for water eutrophication. Previous studies have found that its seeds are dormant, significantly affecting its agricultural use. However, the phytohormone gibberellic acid (GA3) can significantly shorten the dormancy period. GA3-related proteins that influence seed dormancy in P. arundinacea were investigated with two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Based on the green plant protein NCBI database, 30 proteins showed significantly increased expression after GA3 treatment. Of these, 16 were up-regulated and 14 down-regulated. Of these, 25 proteins were identified by MALDI-MS-TOF and 20 were functionally identified. The identified proteins were involved in sugar metabolism, protein metabolism, RNA synthesis, fat metabolism, signal transduction, transportation, cytoskeleton, redox reactions and biosynthetic pathways. We carried out a key analysis of four proteins identified based on the Poaceae pasture proteome. The results indicated that germination induced by GA3 may be related to increased levels of peroxidase promoting glucose 6-phosphate oxidation through the reversible redox reaction of hydroquinone and quinone, thereby promoting the pentose phosphate pathway and initiating the cessation of dormancy and the start germination.","PeriodicalId":21662,"journal":{"name":"Seed Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67090844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

RE (first appearance of the radicle) was counted manually after 48 hours in the germination test (RE 48h 20/30°C) and every two hours for 144 hours at 20°C using automated image analysis. Seed vigour was assessed in field and glasshouse trials. A large proportion of the variance in NG was explained by the RE count. The same RE counts at 20/30°C and 20°C predicted seed vigour in the field and glasshouse and revealed the same vigour differences as the validated CD test. Differences in vigour (field and glasshouse emergence) observed between varieties were related to the extent of previously sustained seed ageing revealed by the CD test, although genotypic differences in vigour could not be excluded.

Seeds of the wheat line 99AR144-1 and three male sterile lines were mixed according to different proportions and then planted at an experimental farm at the Xinjiang Academy of Agri-Reclamation Sciences from 2013 to 2016. When the mixed sowing ratios of combinations 2 (AL36A × 99AR144-1) and 3 (AL20A × 99AR144-1) were 6 to 8%, the seed production yields were higher than the control; the yield of hybrid seed production increased by 98.8 and 19.9%, respectively. This increase was attributed to a rise in the outcrossing seed setting rate. Further, this study used the Xbarc-8 SSR (simple sequence repeat) molecular marker to identify the purity of blend hybrid seeds and establish a regression equation for hybrid seed purity testing. The coefficient of the regression equation were 0.9878 and 0.9689 respectively, which shows that the purity of hybrids can be accurately predicted by using this equation.

As compared with untreated and hydroprimed seeds, Fe-Zn-NA chelate priming significantly enhanced germination energy (GE), germination percentage (GP), germination index (GI), vigour index (VI) and normal seedling rate (NSR), and increased seedling shoot height (SH) and seedling dry weight (DW) in both cultivars. After priming with Fe-Zn-NA chelates, the GP of LYHZ was 96.0%, which was 12.7 and 12.0% higher than hydroprimed and non-primed seeds, respectively. Similarly, the GP of LXY130 was 89.5%, significantly higher than the hydroprimed and non-primed seeds (by 11.5 and 10.0%, respectively). When stored at 25°C, the benefits of Fe-Zn-NA chelate priming on seed vigour and viability was maintained for three months; while after six months storage, the GP of LYHZ and LXY130 was only 48.0 and 34.0%, respectively, which was significantly lower than the non-primed seeds (84.0 and 71.1%). When stored at 15 or 5°C for six months, the germination potential of Fe-Zn-NA chelate-primed seeds was still high.

In the present paper, the mature seeds were used as experimental materials and we investigated the effect of temperature including alternating temperature, light, after-ripening, stratification and phytohormone on seed dormancy release and germination. After being incubated for 30 days, 0 to 10% of the seeds germinated in constant temperature (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30°C), while in alternating temperature regimes (20/10, 25/15 and 30/20°C), seed germination was < 35%. Dormancy release and germination of seeds can be increased by after-ripening, cold stratification and phytohormone treatments. We concluded that A. cinnamomifolium seeds have a non-deep physiological dormancy.

Maize kernels of each of the eight maize lines were put in contact with less than 3-day old males and females of S. oryzae for 13 days. Infested kernels were checked daily for new adult emergence. Four maize lines were susceptible to S. oryzae attack (SI = 7.5 to 9.7) while the others appeared to be moderately resistant (SI = 4.6-6.9).
