Identification of drought resistance of hulless barley germplasm resources at adult stage and screening of reliable drought resistance indexes can provide basis for breeding drought resistant varieties. In the present study, a total of 238 hulless barley germplasms were used as materials, and two treatments of normal irrigation and drought stress in the field conditions were conducted in Zhangye of Gansu Province in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Seven indexes, such as the plant height, spike number per plant, biomass per plant, grain weight per spike, spike length, 1000-grain weight, and yield were determined. The drought resistance comprehensive evaluation value ( D -value), comprehensive drought resistance coefficient (CDC-value), and weight drought resistance coefficient (WDC-value) were used to identify drought resistance at adult stage of hulless barley germplasms. The results showed that the effects of drought stress on all indexes were extremely significant, and the correlation analysis showed that the yield was significantly positively correlated with plant height and 1000-grain nificantly positively correlated with plant height and 1000-grain weight at P < 0.01, and significantly positively correlated with the grain weight per panicle at P <0.05. Frequency analysis showed that the sensitivity of seven indexes to drought stress was plant height, yield, biomass per plant, grain weight per ear, number of ears per plant, ear length and 1000-grain weight, respectively. The ranks of drought resistance of germplasms based on the D -value, CDC-value, and WDC-value were similar. Grey correlation degree analysis showed that the correlation degree between DC-value and D -value was in the order of yield, biomass per plant, grain weight per spike, plant height, number of spikelets per plant, ear length and 1000-grain weight, which was basically consis-tent with the close degree between DC-value and WDC-value of each index. Stepwise regression analysis showed that yield, plant height, panicle number per plant, 1000-grain weight and biomass per plant could be used as reliable indexes for drought resistance identification of hulless barley in adult stage. D -value was determined as the appropriate method for drought resistance identification. Based on D -value, the tested hulless barley germplasms were divided into five drought resistance grades, and 38 germplasms were classified in grade I, such as Ziyanwoqingke, Liulengqingke, Ziqingke, ZDM8125, Tuhuluqingke, etc. These results pro-vided important basic materials and theoretical reference for the breeding of drought-resistant varieties and the study of drought-resistant mechanism of hulless barley.","PeriodicalId":52132,"journal":{"name":"Acta Agronomica Sinica(China)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42696924","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 results showed that rearranged chromosomes and dicentric chromosomes existed in somatic hybrids, and the parts of the rearranged chromosomes was derived from the end-to-end fusion of potato and eggplant chromosomes 2. One centromere of the rearranged dicentric chromosomes was derived from potato and the other was from eggplant. Eggplant 5S rDNA sites were lost in somatic hybrids to homogenize the rDNA of somatic hybrids. The results of this study indicated that the chromosomes were unstable during the somatic hybridization of potato and eggplant, which can easily cause dicentric and chromosomal rearrangements in somatic hybrids. The chromosomes of somatic hybrids tended to be stable through various ways such as chromosome rearrangement, dicentric and rDNA homogenization.","PeriodicalId":52132,"journal":{"name":"Acta Agronomica Sinica(China)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42076173","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}

Two transplanting methods and seedling ages were determined. Leaf age dynamics, panicle stem growth dynamics, and heading dynamics of restorer line and sterile line were investigated, and the effects of different treatments on the growth and development of panicle, line were statistically analyzed. The results were as follows: (1) The total number of leaves in mechanical transplanting parents decreased by 0.3–0.8 leaves in restorer lines while the sterile line added 0.1–0.4 leaves. Meanwhile, the total number of leaves in restorer lines decreased with the decrease of seedling age, while there was no significant change in the total number of leaves of male sterile lines. (2) The growth process of panicles, stems and leaves of restorer lines in mechanical transplanting was delayed by 2–5 days, while that of sterile lines was delayed by 5–10 days. The panicle differentiation of restorer lines began after jointing, while the panicle differentiation of sterile lines began 5–10 days after jointing. The panicle differentiation duration of restorer lines and sterile lines did not change significantly. The young ear growth curves of all treated parents were well fitted with Logistic curves ( R 2 >0.99). (3) The duration from seeding to heading of machine transplanting parents was longer than that of artificial transplanting parents. The effect of lengthening seedling age was the same as the change of transplanting method and the response of sterile lines to transplanting method and seedling age was more significant than that of restorer lines. (4) The flower encounter index of long seedling age under artificial transplanting in each combination was 100%, and the flower encounter was the best. Flowering encountering index was between 40%–60% of long seedling age under mechanical transplanting and short seedling age under artificial transplanting, followed by flowering status. However, the flowering index of the short seedling age combination of Chenghui 727 × Shu 21A and Yahui 2115 × Yixiang 1A was 0 and 18.18% under mechanical transplanting, respectively, indicat-ing that the absent of flowering date seriously. In conclusion, the growth and development of ear, stem, and leaf of parents were delayed under mechanized transplanting mode, and the prolonged seedling age aggravated the growth and development lag phe-nomenon of parents.

To create peanut germplasm with tolerance to different herbicides, a mutant popu-lation consisting of more than 55,000 peanut lines were generated by ethylmethanesulfonate mutagenesis. We screened this popu-lation with a variety of different herbicides to obtain multiple mutants with tolerance to different herbicides. One of these lines displayed strong tolerance to florasulam and flumetsulam in the experiments with foliar herbicide spraying under field conditions as well as in various laboratory evaluation for the herbicide tolerance, while the herbicide-tolerant trait did not have adverse effects on peanut yield and quality. To determine whether this trait was associated with a target-site-based resistance to the herbicides, we compared gene sequences and relative expression levels of these two acetohydroxyacid synthases (AHASs) as the herbicide target enzymes between the mutant and wild type. Molecular cloning and sequence analysis revealed that peanut chromosome A10 and B10 each contained a gene, named as AhAHAS1a and AhAHAS1b , which were highly similar to Arabidopsis AHAS . Peanut chromosome A08 and B08 also each carried an AHAS gene, named as AhAHAS2a and AhAHAS2b , respectively. However, compared with the wild type, mutant and wild type. In summary, these results indicate that the herbicide tolerance of the mutant might be caused by non-target-site-based resistance mechanism.","PeriodicalId":52132,"journal":{"name":"Acta Agronomica Sinica(China)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43798690","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}

To date, the number of potato SSR primers developed is limited, especially those related to colored potato. In this study, SSR loci were analyzed using MISA software based on the whole genome. The results were as follows: a total of 218,997 SSR loci were obtained from potato genome with an average of 3.39 kb. Mononucleotide was the main repeat type, accounting for 62.05% of the total SSR, followed by dinucleotide and trinucleotide, accounting for 22.39% and 13.11%, respectively. The repeats of the six nucleotide types ranged from 5 to 746, mainly from 5 to 10, accounting for 60.9% of the total SSRs. A total of 215 motif types were obtained in all detected SSRs. The dominant motifs of the other five nucleotide repeat types were mainly A/T-containing motifs, except for hexanucleotide repeat type. The length of SSR motifs ranged from 12 bp to 20 bp, accounting for 43.19% of all SSRs. A total of 100 SSR primers were designed by Primer 5 software, among which 48 primers were preliminarily screened using parents’ genomic DNA of the colored potato, with an effective amplification rate of 48%. Then, six F 2 individuals were randomly selected for PCR amplification, and 26 primers with clear and stable bands and high polymorphism were finely screened, with the average polymorphism rate of 72.52%. In summary, the number and types of SSR loci in potato genome was abundant and diverse, and the polymorphism was moderate. The developed primers were highly polymorphic, which can be used in the development of SSR markers, genetic diversity analysis, and SSR fingerprint of colored potato, providing a scientific basis for further mining genes related to anthocyanin content.","PeriodicalId":52132,"journal":{"name":"Acta Agronomica Sinica(China)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45900395","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}

Compared to Zhonghuang 13, the high LAI values in Zhongzuo XA12938 lasted longer and decreased less at the middle and late stages. The degree of increase in dry matter with density varied between treatments. At podding stage, dry weight increased by 77.53% and 51.21% in the high-density treatment (D6) compared to the low-density treatment (D1) for Zhongzuo XA12938 and Zhonghuang 13, respectively. The percentage of dry matter in reproductive organs at maturity stage increased and then decreased with increasing density. The highest yields were achieved under D5 (5000.45 kg hm –2 ) treatment and remained stable at increasing densities for Zhongzuo XA12938. The highest yields for both years were achieved under D4 (4477.90 kg hm –2 ) and D5 (3935.30 kg hm –2 ) treatments for Zhonghuang 13. The average yield of Zhongzuo XA12938 was significantly higher by 22.37% than that of Zhonghuang 13. Grey correlation analysis revealed that plant height and effective pods per unit area were closely related to yield in Zhongzuo XA12938, while effective grains per unit area and height of centre of gravity were more highly correlated with yield in Zhonghuang 13. Zhongzuo XA12938 moderate increase in density can increase the LAI and pro-long the duration of its high value, promote dry matter accumulation, increase the proportion of reproductive organs, and improve the yield in soybean. Varieties with strong meristem regulation can be used to improve yields and increase benefits by appropri-ately increasing planting density in production.","PeriodicalId":52132,"journal":{"name":"Acta Agronomica Sinica(China)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48029748","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}
