Disease scores of an F2 population derived from the cross between a moderately resistant breeding line VC1210A and a susceptible wild relative (Vigna radiata var. sublobata, accession TC1966) showed a continuous distribution and was treated as a quantitative trait. Although no significant quantitative trait loci (QTL) that can explain the variation was detected by QTL analysis based on the reconstructed RFLP linkage map, new marker loci associated with resistance were discovered by AFLP analysis. The RFLP loci detected by two of the cloned AFLP bands are associated with resistance and constitute a new linkage group. A major resistance quantitative trait locus was found on this linkage group that accounted for 64.9% of the variation in resistance to powdery mildew. One of the probes developed in this study has the potential to assist in breeding for powdery mildew resistance in mungbean.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1992Staff ViewISSN: 1439-0523Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, NutritionNotes: A mungbean (V. radiata) line (BC3F3 generation) which is resistant to two species of bruchid beetles (Callosobruchus chinensis and C. maculatus) was successfully developed in Thailand using a wild mungbean variety (V. radiata var. sublobata). One accession (TC1966) of wild mungbean was found to be completely resistant to C. chinensis and C. maculatus occurring at Chainat Field Crops Research Center in Thailand. The resistance was controlled by a single dominant gene (R). A breeding program to develop a bruchid-resistant mungbean cultivar with good agronomic characters under the environmental conditions of Thailand was initiated in 1987.‘Chainat 60’ (‘CN60’), a recommended mungbean cultivar in Thailand, was crossed with TC1966 to incorporate the resistance gene. Agronomic characters of the hybrids were improved by recurrent backcrossing using ‘CN60’ as a pollen parent. Seed yield per plant, days to flowering, and seed size of the bruchid-resistant BC3F2 population reached the level of ‘CN60’ after three consecutive backcrossings. Bruchid-resistant line (BC3F3, R/R) was selected from individual BC3F2 plants.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1439-0523Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, NutritionNotes: The wild Ceratotropis species which occur in Japan consist of Vigna angularis var. nipponensis, V. nakashimae, V. riukiuensis and V. reflexo-pilosa. The main aim of the present study is to detect cross-compatibility of adzuki bean and rice bean with these wild relatives.The cross of V. nakasbimae with adzuki bean was successful in both directions and viable seeds were produced, while the cross with rice bean was not successful. V. riukiuensis is cross-compatible with adzuki bean and rice bean only when V. riukiuensis is used as male parent and the hybrid seeds showed normal germination. The cross between V. reflexopilosa and the two cultigens adzuki bean and rice bean did not succeed in either direction.The present results suggest that V. nakashimae and V. riukiuensis could be used as gene sources for the adzuki bean breeding programme through interspecific hybridization. Successful hybrids between adzuki bean and rice bean cannot easily be produced. However, since V. riukiuensis is cross-compatible with both adzuki bean and rice bean, V. riukiuensis could be useful as a bridge species between adzuki bean and rice bean.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Wilczek, collected from throughout Asia, were analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Eight protein types were recognized based on the combination of four albumin bands and three globulin bands. The frequency of each protein type strain showed a clear geographical cline. The pattern of geographical distribution of the protein types reflected the regions of genetic diversity, and two dissemination pathways in mung bean were proposed. The region of genetic diversity in seed protein was western Asia (Afghanistan-Iran-Iraq area). Mung bean may have spread mainly to the east by two routes from India, where the domestication of mung bean is believed to have occurred. One route led to Southeast Asia; strains consisting of a few protein types with prominent protein type 1 were disseminated from India to the Southeast Asian countreis. Thus, the strain composition in Southeast Asia was very simple, with the strains being similar to one another. Another dissemination pathway may have been the route known as the Silk Road. Since protein type 7 and 8 strains could not be found throughout Southeast Asia, it is assumed that these strains spread from western Asia or India to China and Taiwan via the Silk Road, and not by the route from Southeast Asia.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1573-6857Keywords: evolution ; Oryza ; retrotransposon ; rice ; wild speciesSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: BiologyNotes: Abstract The Oryza officinalis complex is a genetically diverse, tertiary genepool of rice. We analyzed part of the primary structure of the integrase coding domain (ICD) of a gypsy-like retrotransposon from species of the O. officinalis species complex. PCR was performed with degenerate primers that hybridized to conserved sequences in the integrase genes of gypsy-type retrotransposons, using total DNA from different species of the O. officinalis complex as templates. Cloning and sequencing of the PCR products showed that the amplified fragments are highly homologous to each other (75–90%) and belong to one family of retrotransposons that is related to the previously studied RIRE-2 element from rice. Two main subfamilies of 292 and 351 bp were distinguished. Analysis of primary sequence data supports previous reports that sequence divergence during vertical transmission has been the major influence on the evolution of gypsy-type retrotransposons in Oryza species. Based on sequence data phylogenetic relationships among species of the O. officinalis complex were estimated. The data suggests that O. eichingeri is more closely related to the ancestral species of the complex.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1999Staff ViewISSN: 1573-5109Keywords: evolution ; genetic resources ; PCR-RFLP ; RAPDs ; Vicia ; taxonomySource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, NutritionNotes: Abstract We report the results of two methods of DNA analysis to elucidate phylogenetic relationships among 29 Vicia subgen. Vicia species in comparison with two species of subgenus Vicilla sect. Vicilla. The methods employed were RAPD analysis of total genomic DNA and PCR-RFLP analysis of five chloroplast genes, rbcL, rpoB, 16S, psaA and trnK. The results of each method were similar and complementary, and support the current taxonomic systems of subsp. Vicia. According to RAPD and PCR-RFLP analysis the Narbonensis complex can be considered a well separated section, which may be related to section Vicia. Sections Vicia, Atossa and Wiggersia are separate, but closely related sections. Species of the section Hypechusa form a single monophyletic section, where V. lutea, V. anatolica and V. hyrcanica are quite remote from other species. Our results suggest that within the subgenus Vicia, V. faba is more closely related to V. bithynica and that these two species are most closely related to section Peregrinae. We found that PCR-RFLP of cp DNA provided more precise information concerning relationships between Vicia sections than RAPD analysis. However, RAPD analysis was more informative concerning diversity of closely related Vicia taxa, such as the variable groups, section Narbonensis and V. sativa aggregate.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1573-5109Keywords: evolution ; genetic resources ; RAPDs ; seed protein electrophoresis ; taxonomy ; ViciaSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, NutritionNotes: Abstract The genetic diversity of 58 wild and weedy populations representing taxa within the V. sativa aggregate from the former USSR, 4 cultivars of V. sativa, 2 accessions of V. cordata and 3 accessions of V. macrocarpa from Mediterranean countries were analysed using randomly amplified DNA fragments (RAPDs) and seed protein electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Interspecific variation between taxa in the V. sativa aggregate could readily be detected using both techniques. RAPDs and seed protein patterns were found to be an effective means of identifying accessions that cannot be identified clearly by morphological criteria alone. RAPD and seed protein analysis revealed a clear relationship between observed genetic variation of populations and their geographical distribution. Populations from each region had their own gene pools. Geographical variation was detected in V. segetalis. The degree of genetic divergence between local populations was usually related to proximity. In several locations where wild and weedy populations of different V. sativa agg. taxa grow sympatrically, intermediate forms could be detected at the DNA and protein levels. Both RAPD and seed protein analysis support the view that the V. sativa aggregate consists of 8 taxa warranting recognition at the species level. Several species in this aggregate are evolving intra-specific groups which can readily be detected at the molecular level.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1573-6857Keywords: genetic diversity ; Oryza ; retrotransposons ; RFLP ; wild riceSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: BiologyNotes: Abstract To better understand the genetic diversity of the wild relatives of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in the O. officinalis species complex repetitive DNA markers were obtained from the diploid species of this complex. One cloned sequence from O. eichingeri gave intense hybridization signals with all species of the O. officinalis complex. This 242 bp clone, named pOe.49, has a copy number from 0.9 to 4.0 × 104 in diploid species of this complex. Analysis of the primary structure and database searches revealed homology of pOe.49 to a number of sequences representing part of the integrase coding domain of retroviruses and gypsy-like retrotransposons. Sequencing of specific PCR products confirmed that pOe.49 is part of a gypsy-like retrotransposon. RFLP analysis was used to study the genomic organisation of pOe.49 among 30 accessions of the O. officinalis complex using 10 restriction enzymes. Diversity analysis based on 120 polymorphic fragments obtained from the RFLP assay grouped the O. officinalis complex accessions by genome, species and eco-geographic groups. The results suggest that, with further characterization, this retrotransposon-like DNA sequence may be useful for phylogenetic analysis of species in the O. officinalis complex.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
