Genetic models were adjusted to the means and variances of the generations. It could be concluded that the trait is governed by various genes with lesser effect, has low to medium heritability and selection should be made always using progeny from the F3 generation and can be made during the initial stages of soybean growth, based on the mean of at least two trifoliate leaves.","PeriodicalId":49085,"journal":{"name":"Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology","volume":"966 1","pages":"35-44"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2003-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77590186","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}

Reducing the amount of cell wall polysaccharide in soybean seed could allow higher protein and oil content, thus increasing their economic value. UDP-glucose dehydrogenase is a key enzyme in cell wall polysaccharide synthesis. To investigate the role of UDP-glucose dehydrogenase in seed development, a transgenic approach was initiated. A new binary vector has been constructed for soybean transformation that has the following features: i) the selectable marker hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt); ii) placement of the selectable marker adjacent to the T-DNA left border and, iii) an antisense copy of the UDP-glucose dehydrogenase gene driven by the seed-specific vicilin promoter. This genetic construct was engineered to suppress the expression of UDP-glucose dehydrogenase in soybean seeds.","PeriodicalId":49085,"journal":{"name":"Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology","volume":"23 1","pages":"49-52"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2003-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87164659","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}

The additive genetic effect was the most important in the determination of all traits related to soybean resistance to frogeye leaf spot. The infection degree, a subjective trait that considers the set of all resistance related characteristics in its constitution, presented positive variance and lower influence of the environment, consisting in a useful variable in programs of soybean breeding aiming at the resistance to C. sojina.

There are often little changes in clustering patterns if a subset of these variables is used, because the discarded variables are redundant or of little contribution to the variability. This study aimed at comparing two discards of variables methods – the Singh method and the principal components method – as well as evaluating the effect of the discards on the cluster analysis. In this analysis data of six ripe fruits traits were used. Other characters with previously known variability or collinearity were added to the analysis. The method considered being the most efficient was the one, which indicated variables that did not alter the initial clustering pattern when discarded. The Singh method did not detect variation differences when standardized data were used. When the distance was obtained by the non-standardized data, the pericarp thickness (0.018%), total soluble solids (0.1668%) and minimum width (2.99%) had the lowest contribution to the divergence. The principal components pointed out that the characteristics fruit length, total soluble solids and seeds yield/fruit were considered as dispensable variables. There were changes in the initial clustering pattern when the variable pericarp thickness was discarded, and the Singh method was not efficient in detecting the importance of this variable. There were no changes in the initial clustering pattern when fruit length was discarded. The data showed that the two compared methods differed, since Singh’s and principal component methods showed different variables to be discarded. The Singh method was not efficient in detecting multicollinearity among variables. The principal component method was more efficient in pointing out the variables that can be discarded. It is advisable that the genetic divergence is calculated based on the scores of the principal components. In future studies, when there is no replicated data, the genetic divergence and the pinpoint of characters should be calculated based on the principal component scores to avoid discarding some important variables when determining divergence. However, if the variable values differ independently, the Singh method based on Euclidean distance is appropriate.","PeriodicalId":49085,"journal":{"name":"Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology","volume":"1 1","pages":"19-26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2003-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76723240","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}

Recently, tomato plants from the same cultivar with changes in morphological traits and post-harvest fruit characteristics have been identified. The inheritance study and the allelism test carried out by Schuelter et al. (2002) determined that a recessive gene with pleiotropic effects modified the expression of morphological traits, such as the color of stigma and fruits and the early leaf senescence. This gene, present in the ‘firm’ mutant ( frm ), was mapped on the tomato chromosome 10 region - the same region of the lutescent-2 ( l-2 ) gene. However, the identification and location of the genes that increase the firmness of ‘firm’ mutant fruits remain unknown. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the inheritance of morphological and firmness characteristics of fruits which were modified by the mutation using RAPD markers. Results demonstrated that the genomic region comprising the l-2 gene increases the fruit firmness, explaining from 6.27 to 25.09% the phenotypic variation for this trait along the 15 day-period of storage. However, the AQ16 747 and AS8 622 markers, mapped at 11.67 and 21.67 cM from the mutation frm, indicated that the further they were located from this region, the smaller proportion of the phenotypic variation they had. Thus, we can conclude that that the genomic region flanking the l-2 gene also increases fruit firmness in the ‘firm’ mutant, a trait that has never been associated with this gene.","PeriodicalId":49085,"journal":{"name":"Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology","volume":"34 1","pages":"11-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2003-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77055925","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}
