During the development of dominant male sterility lines in cabbage, the conventional identification of homozygous male-sterile plants （CDMs399-3/CDMs399-3） is a laborious and time-consuming process. For marker-assisted selection （MAS） of the gene CDMs399-3 transferred into key spring cabbage line 397, expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeats （EST-SSR） and SSR technology were used to identify markers that were linked to CDMs399-3 based on method of bulked segregant analysis （BSA）. By screening a set of 978 EST-SSRs and 395 SSRs, a marker BoE332 linked to the CDMs399-3 at a distance of 3.6 cM in the genetic background of cabbage line 397 were identified. 7 homozygons male-sterile plants in population P1170 with 20 plants were obtained finally via MAS of BoE332. Thus, BoE332 will greatly facilitate the transferring of the gene CDMs399-3 into the key spring cabbage line 397 and improve the application of DGMS in cabbage hybrid breeding.展开更多

Two days later,growth rate,dry weight,fresh weight and relative water content of the plants were determined. After 6h of treatment,the activity and gene expression of three antioxidant enzymes,superoxide dismutase( SOD),catalase( CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase( APX) in plants,were measured. The results showed that the growth rate,dry weight,fresh weight,relative water content,and the activity and gene expression of the three antioxidant enzymes in collard seedlings were higher in the treatment of salt stress with the addition of 0. 05 mmol/L exogenous H_2O_2 than in the simple salt stress treatment; and when endogenous H_2O_2 was removed,the growth rate,dry weight,fresh weight,relative water content,and the activity and gene expression of the three antioxidant enzymes in plant seedlings were lower than those under simple salt stress. It is speculated that under salt stress,H_2O_2 is involved in the regulation of antioxidant defense gene expression,and it might be an important regulator of salt-induced antioxidant system in collard leaves.展开更多
