We have examined DNA polymorphisms for apo B in 111 women from Mladenovac near Belgrade. The main aim was to investigate the association between RFLP (EcoRI and MspI) genotypes of the apo B gene and scrum levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Heterozygotes for RFLP EcoRI (R1R2) have significantly higher mean values for both total and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and significantly lower ones for HDL cholesterol than homozygotes for the common R1 allele (R1 R1, p < 0.05). Homozygotes for RFLP MspI (M1M1) show a similar trend. Genotypes R1R2/M1M1 show an association with the highest values of serum total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Genotypes R1R2/M1M2 show an association with the lowest values of HDL cholesterol. Genotypes with the rare R2 allele (absence of EcoRI restriction site) are significantly more frequent in the group with levels for both serum total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol ,,out of normal" range.

Abstract

Glišić S., I. Savić, V. Knezević, J. Lazović and D. Alavantić (1993): Apolipoprotein B gene DNA polymorphisms (3' hypervariable region) and serum lipid levels in women: The Mladenovac study II. - Genetika, Vol. 25, No. 1, 11 - 19.

The hypervariable region at the 3'end of the apolipoprotein B gene was investigated in 111 women from Mladenovac near Belgrade. We studied the frequencies of 15 different HVR alleles in this population and their association with serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. The frequency distribution of HVR alleles showed a bimodal pattern with two peaks: 34HVR and 44HVR. According to their lipid levels we separated the probands into two groups for each lipid parameter, and then we tested the hypothesis that genotype frequencies in both groups are the same as in the whole group. It was shown that the frequency of genotypes having at least one allele equal 36 repeat units (HVR = 36/H VR) was significantly reduced in the group with ,,out of normal" levels of LDL cholesterol. Individuals with rare the HVR > 36/HVR genotype (where at least one allele was higher than 36 repeat units) had significantly higher values for serum total cholesterol level, LDL cholesterol (p < 0.01) and triglycerides (p < 0.05). Probands with the HVR = 36/HVR genotype showed significantly lower values of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, but elevated values of HDL cholesterol compored to the other two genotypes, and significantly lower values for triglycerides than the HVR > 36/HVR genotype.

THE DESCRIPTION AND INHERITANCE OF A TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE GENE FOR ALBINISM IN AN INBRED LINE OF MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.)

Abstract

Vidaković M., and R. Petrović (1993): The description and inheritance of a temperature-sensitive gene for albinism in an inbred line of maize (Zea mays L.). - Genetika, Vol. 25, No. 1, 21- 25.

The inbred line V395/31 exhibits leaf symptoms typical for albinism when grown under cool and humid conditions in the spring. The rise of temperature above the critical level (somewhere between 15 and 18°C) provokes the greening of the leaves. Recurrence of temperatures lower than the critical ones causes the newly arisen leaves to stay devoid of chlorophyll until the new rise of temperature above the critical level. However, prolonged duration of temperatures lower than the critical one does not cause bleaching of chlorophyll from the leaves that have already turned green. The erases of the inbred V395/31 to inbreeds which do not show this trait give F1generations uniformly green under a whole range of temperatures above 0°C. F2 progenies of these crosses always segregated with the 3:1 ratio of greens to temperature sensitive albinos, respectively. The backcrosses to a recessive parent (V395/31) segregated 1:1, while the backcrosses with dominant parents always gave uniformly green progenies only. The consecutive selfing of recessive segregants in all cases gave only temperature sensitive albinos with identical behavior, showing that the expression of the gene is independent of its genetic background. Therefore, the low temperature dependent albinism in the inbred line V395/31 is caused by a single recessive gene which we designated as Ita 395 gene.

Abstract

Saratlić G. (1993): Responses to recurrent phenotypic selection for percent oil and inbreeding depression in DS7U and YUSSSU maize (Zea mays L.) populations. - Genetika Vol. 29, No. 1, 27 - 42.

Phenotypic (mass) recurrent selection for increase percent of oil was conducted on two maize (Zea mays L.) populations. Greater direct response to selection was detected in the DS7U population per se than in the YUSSSU population per se (15.13 vs. 12.80% cycle^-1). The indirect response obtained in the interpopulation crosses was 14.35% cycle^-1. An increase percent of oil was followed by grain yield reduction in the DS7U population and interpopulation crosses, while yield remained unchanged in the YUSSSU population. Inbreeding depression increased in the DS7U population and interpopulation crosses, but showed an inconsistent trend in the YUSSSU population.

Abstract

Knežević, D. (1993): Variability and inheritance of ear lobe types (Lobus aitricularis) in the human population of Prokuplje. - Genetika, Vol. 25, No. 1, 43-49.

A population study of the types of ear lobe has shown the variability of two common types of this trait. It was found that the frequency of attached ear lobes in the observed sample (810 individuals) was 28.65% (q = 0.54).

In this work inheritance of the type of ear lobe was examined in 180 families from Prokuplje by direct observation. The differences found in the percentage frequency of the recessive phenotype between parents and offspring as well as between males and females within the whole sample were not significant. This study showed a recessive - dominant type of inheritance of ear lobe attachment.

Abstract

Jerković Z., Vojislava Momčilović and R. Jevtić (1993): Inheritance of latent period 50 and infection efficiency with Puccinia recondita tritici - Genetika, Vol. 29, No. 1, 51 -55.

The inheritance, action and number of genes for length of the latent period 50 and infection efficiency are the most important characters of the incomplete resistance of wheat to Puccinia recondita tritici. They were investigated in progenies of cross Karl x Little Club. These varieties are extremely different in both characters. It is possible that some genes have a pleiotropic effect on increasing the length of the latent period 50 and decreasing the infection efficiency.

A study of gene effects for plant height was made in a 4x4 diallel cross, excluding reciprocals. The present study was undertaken with a view to examining the inheritance, gene effects and combining ability for plant height in F2 wheat. Significant differences between the parental mean values were found. Both general (GCA) and specific (SCA) combining ability variances were highly significant for this trait but with a preponderance of GCA effects. The superior general combining parent was Žitnica. It was established that the inheritance of plant height in the F2 generation included both additive and non-additive gene action.

Abstract

Singh, S.R and R.K. Mital (1993): Geographical divergence in relation to genetic diversity in potato (Solarium tuberosum L.). - Genetika, Vol. 25, No. 1, 63-70.

Thirty two varieties of potato (Solaniim tuberosum L.) representing the relics of unselected Andigena varieties, the varieties with Andigena-tuberosum parentage and the tuberosum varieties of American, European and Indian origin were grouped in 13 clusters on the basis of D2 values. The clustering pattern was not influenced by their geographical diversity. The main findings were that (1) the prime separation was between varieties bred from tuberosum and from Andigena and that there was no clear separation related to the regions in which the varieties were bred (ii). There is only limited variation among varieties of tuberosum origin, (iii) Hybrid varieties showed considerable diversity and tended to resemble tuberosum or Andigena varieties according to which was their maternal parent (cytoplasm). A breeding plant to develop day neutral varieties was discussed.

Abstract

Knežević, D. and M. Kraljević-Balalić (1993): Genetic analysis for weight of kernels per spike in wheat. - Genetika, Vol. 25, No. 1, 71- 75.

A study of gene effect for weight of kernels per spike was made in a 4x4 diallel cross, excluding reciprocals. These four varieties and F2 hybrids were studied to evaluate the mode of inheritance, gene effects and genetic components of variation for weight of kernels per spike in F2 wheat. Wr/Vr graphical analysis enabled us to identify parents giving non-allelic interaction, and to draw a conclusion that the weight of kernels per spike was primarily controlled by dominant genes. It was established that the inheritance of kernel weight per spike in the F2 generation included both additive and non-additive gene action.

Abstract

Krishna R. and Z. Ahmad (1993): Impact of plant height on productivity in spring wheat - Genetika, Vol. 25, No. 1, 77 - 83.

There was no clear cut pattern for the relation of four height categories with general combining ability (GCA) effects for grian yield and its components. Plant height itself indicated a gradual shift in the degree and direction of the GCA effect from high and negative GCA effects in tall plants to high and positive GCA effects in triple semi-dwarfs. Varieties, HD2204, HD1981, K7340 and HI385 which were desirable general combiners for some components of yield, were not usually good combiners for grain yield per plant. However, semi-dwarfs D₂ followed by D₁, showed desirable GCA effects for a number of attributes reflecting the superiority of intermediate height groups.

The objective of this investigation was to find out if total random mating exists between genotypes in the intermating stages in a "PRO" population of recurrent selection of soybean, with use of genetic male sterility and insects as pollen vectors. Another objective was to investigate if sparse planting in the So test can help to avoid negative effects of competition between male sterile and male fertile plants. The ratio of segregation between male fertile and male sterile plants in the So test agreed with the theoretical ratio 1:2. Five competition levels existed between male fertile and male sterile plants in the So evaluation test. Frequencies of the different competition levels between plants were not significantly different across the cycles. A sufficient amount of hybrid seeds was produced in this way. Male sterility is a favorable tool for recurrent selection of soybean.
