China is one of the centers for the origin of the cultivated plants worldwide, as well as one of the countries with most abundant plant resources and the highest biodiversity. Strengthening research in the conservation and utilization of plant germplasm resources is of significant value and importance. In this study, the present status of conservation, utilization, and existing problems of plant germplasm resources in China and around the world were reviewed; further, through analyzing measures taken by global countries for plant germplasm resources protection, countermeasures for plant germplasm resources conservation in China were also presented from three aspects, namely, collection and conservation, information network construction and national legislation and policies.展开更多

Millions of germplasm accessions have been collected and conserved ex situ and/or in situ, and the major challenge is now how to exploit and utilize this abundant resource. Genomics-based plant germplasm research (GPGR) or "Cenoplasmics" is a novel cross-disciplinary research field that seeks to apply the principles and techniques of genomics to germplasm research. We describe in this paper the concept, strategy, and approach behind GPGR, and summarize current progress in the areas of the definition and construction of core collections, enhancement of germplasm with core collections, and gene discovery from core collections. GPGR is opening a new era in germplasm research. The contribution, progress and achievements of GPGR in the future are predicted.展开更多

China is rich in Araliaceae plant resources and Araliaceae plants are outstanding in form,but their ornamental value is less studied. Through the statistical survey of the germplasm resources of Araliaceae plants in southeastern Tibet,and the research and analysis of their functions and ornamental characteristics,this paper concluded that the Araliaceae plants in southeastern Tibet have high ornamental value,and 12 varieties of Araliaceae plants can be used in gardens and have great research and development significance. Finally,it came up with recommendations for the collection and protection,introduction and breeding,and garden application of Araliaceae plant resources.展开更多

Historically, studies have relied on DNA markers to elucidate potato genetic diversity. Current advances in genomics are broadening applications allowing the identification of markers linked to genomic regions under selection. Those markers, known as adaptive markers, unlock additional ways to value and organize germplasm diversity. For example, conservation priorities could be given to germplasm units containing markers associated to unique geographic identity, and/or linked to traits of tolerance to abiotic stresses. This study investigated if adaptive marker loci were possible to be identified in a large AFLP marker dataset of ninety-four populations of the wild potato species </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">S. fendleri.</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> These populations originated from six different mountain ranges in southern Arizona, USA.

Adaptive markers were detected using Bayesian methods which distinguished marker loci departing significantly from frequencies expected under neutral models of genetic differentiation.

To contrast diversity p</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">arameters generated with each set of markers, analyses that included all the 2094 AFLP markers, and only the 16 adaptive markers were conducted. The results showed that both were efficient for establishing genetic associations among populations and mountain ranges. However, adaptive markers were better on revealing geographic patterns and identity which would suggest these markers were linked to selection at the natural sites. An additional test to determine if adaptive markers associated to climate variables found two loci associated to specific climate variables in populations from different regions but sharing similar environmental structure. The distribution of adaptive markers among populations revealed that only two were needed to build a core subset able to keep all the markers. This preliminary assessment shows that adaptive genetic diversity could offer an additional way to measure diversity in potato germplasm and to set up options for conservation and research.展开更多

In this study,12 representative rapeseed lines were first measured for whole-plant branch angles using image processing technology. Top branch angle (TBA) and basal branch angle (BBA) were significantly different in each line in which TBA was greater than BBA. Then, 156 rapeseed germplasm lines were evaluated for TBA and BBA in main cultivated regions of the Yangtze River Basin (Zunyi; Wuhan; Lu'an). In these three environments, the TBA and BBA of the rapeseed germplasm sources varied, in which ranges of 33.44°-73.17°and 18.73°-59.11°, 29.66°-61.91°and 22.32°-60.16°, and 28.47°-76.32°and 22.98°-72.68°, respectively. ANOVA showed that TBA and BBA were susceptible to environmental and had broadsense heritability (H2) values of 89.09%and 87.40%, respectively. Interactions of genotype by environment were also significant. There was diversity in branch angle among rapeseed genotypes. GGE biplot analysis showed that compact accession lines (Nilla, Purler and AV-SAPPHI) were the most desirable compact genotypes in all environments. Stability analysis showed that the genotype with the most minimum branch angle was stable for compact plant architecture.展开更多
