Characterization of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) collection using quantitative and qualitative traits in the Mediterranean Basin

This study was conducted to determine the genetic diversity and relationship among 256 groundnut genotypes of which 132 belong to subsp, hypogaea （Arachis hypogaea L.） and 124 to subsp, fastigiata （Arachis fastigiata L.）. The collection was evaluated for eight quantitative and five qualitative traits during three consecutive years under Mediterranean climate conditions. Coefficient of variation （CV） significantly differed among the genotypes for all the studied quantitative traits ranged from 9.10 to 33.98%, while the highest CV was recorded for seed yield. The subspecies of hypogaea and fastigiata displayed significant differences for quantitative traits except for numbers of pods per plant and seed yield. Principal com- ponent analyses showed that the first three principal components accounted for 68.14% variation for quantitative traits. Major traits that accounted for the variation by the three principal components （PCs） include days to the first flowering, days to 50% flowering, number of pods per plant and shelling percentage. The groundnut collection also offers wide seed coat color diversity which affects the crop marketability. The information on variations in quantitative and qualitative traits identified in the present investigation provided useful genotypes which would be serving parents. These parental genotypes can be used in groundnut breeding programs to develop desirable cultivars in Mediterranean Basin and globally.

中国花生小核心种质与ICRISAT微核心种质的SSR遗传多样性比较

明确花生种质资源的遗传多样性和分布规律,对于发掘优良种质资源,选配优良亲本,拓宽育成品种的遗传基础具有重要意义。核心种质为种质资源的研究、评价和鉴定带来了方便。本研究从206对SSR引物中筛选26对引物对我国花生小核心种质和ICRISAT微核心种质共466份资源进行了遗传多样性分析,相似系数为0.49～0.99,鉴定出遗传差异最大的种质L2刚果(中国花生资源)与ICG12625(ICRISAT资源),相似系数为0.49。分析结果表明,多粒型花生的多态性信息量(0.761)和遗传多样性指数(0.97～1.11)均最大(平均相似系数最小,0.73～0.76),其次是普通型花生。中国花生种质资源与ICRISAT资源存在较大差异,尤其是ICRISAT的赤道型材料ICG12625,与中国花生资源的差异最大。相似系数和遗传多样性指数的分析结果均表明,我国花生种质资源的遗传多样性比ICRISAT资源丰富。

利用核心种质发掘及评价花生抗黄曲霉资源

黄曲霉菌极大地限制全世界的花生生产和产业发展,且生产上抗性品种较少,我国花生育种和生产中的抗性资源缺乏,迫切需要发掘抗黄曲霉种质。本研究以中国花生核心种质561份和ICRISAT微核心种质155份为材料,鉴定了黄曲霉侵染和产毒抗性,发掘出抗黄曲霉侵染和产毒种质各8份,包括具优良农艺性状的抗黄曲霉产毒种质51002-6。鉴定结果表明,ICRISAT花生微核心种质中抗黄曲霉侵染和产毒种质的频率高于中国花生核心种质;普通型花生资源中抗黄曲霉侵染种质的频率较高,龙生型资源中抗黄曲霉产毒种质的频率较高。根据SSR分析,鉴定出与生产上推广应用的优良品种中花5号、中花6号、中花12和远杂9102遗传距离较远的抗黄曲霉产毒种质ICG12625和抗侵染种质ICG4750,拓宽了我国花生品种改良的遗传基础。根据抗病基因产物的NBS类型保守域设计简并引物对抗黄曲霉种质的DNA进行PCR扩增、克隆、测序和分析,获得了1条RGA片段。
