The methodical peculiarities of the mutational breeding of the cross-pollinating crop were defined, and new mutants with changed features were created. Investigating new homozygous self-pollinated sunflower lines, we observed a more negative mutagenic impact of gamma irradiation (120 and 150 Gy) on the germinability of M1 sunflower seeds in the field compared with the DMS effect (0.01 and 0.05 %). The field germinability of DMS-treated seeds was 83–87 % vs. 11–15 % of gamma-irradiated ones. The mutagenic effect of gamma rays (120 and 150 Gy) on M1 meiosis was shown to be stronger than that of DMS (0.01 and 0.05 %). The percentage of cells with alterations varied within 15.79–18.78 % (120 Gy) and 20.38–25.26 % (150 Gy) compared to 0–0.16 % in the control. The effect of gamma rays on the frequency of morphoses in M1 was stronger, in particular, after exposure to 120 Gy or 150 Gy of gamma irradiation, the number of plants with alterations was 43 %, whereas after DMS treatment (0.01 and 0.05 %) this parameter averaged 27–28 %. We determined the inheritance of mutations of quantitative and qualitative traits, which are important for breeding, in mutant M2 families and selected mutant families with inherited altered traits that can be considered as mutations. Among the best mutations, there are morphological mutants with marker traits, mutants with increased content of oil in seeds, increased 1000-seed weight, increased contents of behenic, linoleic and palmitoleic acids as well as with absolute resistance to downy mildew.","PeriodicalId":39086,"journal":{"name":"Helia","volume":"42 1","pages":"17 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/HELIA-2017-0024","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43125715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The testing of the resistance of VNIIMK’s collection accessions of a cultivated sunflower of various origins was carried out on an artificial background made from the seeds of race G of broomrape. 6 lines resistant to race G were developed by the method of inbreeding on the basis of the obtained unaffected forms. The genetic control of resistance of one of them was studied. The resistance was inherited monogeneuosly, with incomplete dominance. There was established the presence of a reciprocal effect and the dependence of the resistance characteristic on the genotype of a susceptible parent under crossbreeding with certain lines. The other 5 sunflower lines are in the process of a hybridological analysis in order to determine the genetic control of their resistance. The combination of different genes of resistance to the same race of broomrape in one sunflower genotype could contribute to the long-term resistance of the crop to the parasite.

One mutant line had 24.5 ± 1.01 bracts, while the other, 78.6 ± 1.69 bracts. The F1 hybrid had an average value between parents, which practically did not differ from the mean value in the F2 population. The variability of the trait under study in the F2 population was continuous, varying from 20 to 84 bracts. This indicated the probable participation of several genes with an additive effect in the control of the number of bracts. Assuming that the differences between the parental lines are due to two pairs of genes, the F2 plant population, grown in 2016, was divided into 5 classes. In that population the observed classes ratio turned out to be close to the theoretically expected ratio of 1 : 4 : 6 : 4 : 1. Over the next two years F2 populations were tested in a similar way. In all the cases, the calculated chi-square value did not exceed the critical value for 4 degrees of freedom and 5 % significance level. This gave reason to talk about the two-loci control of a such quantitative trait as the number of bracts. The participation of two non-allelic genes in the control of this trait is also proved by matching the actual number of plants in the parental classes to the theoretically expected number of plants. Thus, the number of bracts depends on the number of dominant alleles of two different genes in the genotype.","PeriodicalId":39086,"journal":{"name":"Helia","volume":"42 1","pages":"221 - 228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/helia-2019-0004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42697287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The statistical reliability of the obtained ratio was confirmed by calculating the Pearson’s chi-squared test. Presence of two loci determining the inheritance of the branching trait in sunflower was established. In one locus, recessive alleles are responsible for manifestation of the branching trait. In the second locus, dominant alleles are responsible for the manifestation of the branching trait. In 23 lines of sunflower, it was established that a recessive homozygote for one gene causes phenotypical top and full branching. In 8 lines of the collection, full branching trait is due to the dominant allele of the gene. In the lines InK235, APS49, the presence of two genes was established, the dominant alleles of which determine full branching trait.

Sunflower is a valuable oil producing crop because it contains good quality oil composition and can be grown twice in a year. There is scarcity of oil in our country so that there is requisite to heighten the yield of sunflower in order to exploit its share in oilseed sector. The study was conducted at the research field of Rajawala farm, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad during year 2015–16 to study the correlation among yield related traits, oil and protein content in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). 20 sunflower lines were sown in randomized complete block design with three replications. Data was assessed at maturity for plant height, leaves per plant, leaf area, head diameter, internode length, 100-achene weight, achene yield per plant, oil contents and protein contents. Genotypic and phenotypic correlation was estimated among these traits. The recorded data was subjected to statistical analysis of variance, correlation and path coefficient analysis. The line G-16 showed best performance for leaf area, head diameter and achene yield per plant. Line G-20 was good in 100 achene weight.

Results showed that the first two principal components (PC1 and PC2) were used to create a two-dimensional TT biplot that accounted percentages of 94% of sums of squares of interaction.

In Imisun technology, NTSR could be related to herbicide metabolism and might occur as a result of a constitutive up-regulation of resistance genes, or it can appear only after herbicide treatment. The objective of this study was to characterize NTSR in Imisun sunflower in response to imazethapyr using RNA-Seq and to determine whether these mechanisms are constitutive or herbicide-induced. Cypsels were germinated in plastic pots, watered by capillarity and growth in chamber under controlled conditions. Seven-day-old plants were treated with 0 (control) and 1 μM imazethapyr for 12 h. After leaf RNA purification, stranded, paired-end cDNA libraries were constructed. Sequencing was performed with Illumina HiSeq2000. Local mapping, with and without multihits, was carried out over the reference transcriptome HaT13l and differential expression was analysed. Sixty one and 47 contigs (according to mapping strategy) related to xenobiotic metabolism were found: cytochromes P450s, ABC transporters, glycosyltransferases, UDPglucuronosyl/glucosyltransferases and glutathione S-transferases.
