The genetic-ecological variation of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Serbia was studied in the populations at five localities in western and south-western Serbia. Three groups of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) populations were differentiated based on genetic research (seed protein analysis) and plant community research. The first group consists of Scots pine populations on Šargan (FMU “Šargan“) and on Tara (FMU “Kaluđerske Bare”), where the forests belong to the community of Scots pine and Austrian pine (Pinetum sylvestris-nigrae Pavlović 1951). The second group covers the localities Stolovi (FMU “Radočelo-Crepuljnik“) and Zlatar (FMU “Zlatar I“), where the forests belong to the community of Scots pine and spruce (Piceo abietis-Pinetum sylvestris Stefanović 1960). The third group comprises the Scots pine population on Pešter (FMU “Dubočica-Bare“) which belongs to the community of Scots pine with erica (Erico-Pinetum sylvestris Stefanović 1963). Cluster analysis was performed on the basis of seed protein data and showed that there are three groups of Scots pine populations. The three populations coincide with plant communities. The community of Scots pine with erica (Erico-Pinetum sylvestris Stefanović 1963) recorded on Pešter at the locality “Dubočica-Bare“ in the area of FE “Golija“ Ivanjica, is a special Scots pine population displayed at the greatest distance from all other populations in the cluster analysis dendrogram.

Key words: Pinus sylvestris, proteins, plant communities

Onion dry matter content is very important in terms of processing. The study was undertaken in order to investigate dry matter content inheritance pattern in fresh onion bulb. Five divergent onion genotypes, originating from different geographical areas, have been crossed. Full diallel crossing method (without reciprocals) was applied in order to obtain F₁ and F₂ generation offspring. Field trial including parents and F₁ and F₂hybrids was performed at the Institute for Vegetable Crops experimental plot, Smederevska Palanka. The trial was conducted in randomized blocks, with five replications. Intermediate inheritance pattern prevailed for both F₁ and F₂ generation. Additive genetic component value was higher than dominant for both F₁ and F₂ generation, which implies additive effect of genes. Hybrid combination PR x BB was characterized by the highest heterosis value (11.85%). Better general combining abilities were confirmed for three lines in comparison with other lines, whereas special combining abilities were significant for one F₁ hybrid. Neither general nor special combining abilities were significant for F₂ generation.

Key words: combining abilities, dry matter content, heterosis, onion

Variability and stability of yield components for the large number of divergent common wheat genotypes originated in different world breeding institutions were studied. Interaction genotype x environment has been evaluated, in different environmental conditions. The experiment was performed using randomized block design in three replications on the experimental field in different environmental conditions. A total number of 60 plants have been analyzed in the full maturity stage. The analyzed cultivars showed very significant differences in the average values of analyzed traits. The significant influence of cultivars, year and their interaction on expression of traits was found. The effects of each of analyzed traits on phenotypic variability were different. The most stable genotypes have been determined for analyzed yield component. On the base of stability and phenotypic variability the genotypes can be used as parents in wheat breeding programs.

Abstract

Pandey R.M., and R. Singh (2011): Genetic divergence in grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.) - Genetika, Vol 43, No. 1,41 -49.

Extent and magnitude of genetic divergence for 14 characters among 98 genotypes of grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.) were determined for the purpose of identifying more diverse parents which are expected to engender maximum variability. Based on genetic divergence D² statistics, genotypes were grouped into 18 clusters in which cluster I contained maximum number of genotypes (42), Cluster II (11), Cluster III (7), Cluster IV and V (5 in each case) and Cluster VI has 4 genotypes. Cluster VII, VIII, IX, X have (3 in each), cluster XI, XII, XIII, XIV (2 in each) and clusters XV, XVI, XVII and XVIII (1in each case). The clustering pattern revealed that there was no relationship between genetic divergence and eco-geographical region. Intra cluster values ranged from 0.00 to 141.86 and cluster XI is most diverse group. The inter cluster values ranged from 133.08 to 1214.59. Maximum divergence was noticed between clusters VIII and XI (1214.59) followed by clusters XI and XV (982.16) and clusters II and XI (938.89). The diverse clusters derived could be used in hybridization programme to generate wide range of transgressive segregants in population to develop high yielding grain amaranth varieties.

Designing breeding programs for rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) cultivars with improved seed and oil yields require information about the genetic variability of traits effecting seed and oil production. This investigation was undertaken in order to examine phenotypic and genetic variability, broad-sense heritability, genetic gain under selection and interrelationships of some agronomic and seed quality traits of investigated genotypes.Genotypes, years and their interaction showed significant variation for all studied characters. Phenotypic variability coefficients were higher than genetic ones. Broad-sense heritability estimates ranged from 12.66% (for ripening period) up to 52.12% (for days to first pods filling). Expected genetic gain was lowest for days to maturity (0.45%) and highest for height to the first lateral branch (12.94%). The analysis of genetic correlations revealed that seed yield per plant is highly and positively associated with pods per plant, oil content, plant height and ripening period, although significant negative correlations were found between seed yield per plant and leaves per plant, days to maturity, protein content, days to first pods filling, days to flowering, height of the first lateral branch and 1000 seed weight. Genetic path-coefficient analysis indicated that pods per plant and oil content were the most important components of seed yield per plant. Their direct effects on seed yield per plant were p=0.472 and p=0.082, respectively. Protein content had highly significant negative direct effect on seed yield (p=-0.365), followed by 1000 seed weight (p=-0.017) and height to the first lateral branch (p=-0.081). These observations will support the selection of genotypes with desired traits for further rapeseed seed and oil yield improvement.

Two main questions in programs introgressing exotic maize germplasm into temperate materials are the choice of available exotic sources to work with, and the proportion of exotic germplasm that should be incorporated into adapted germplasm. The objective of this study was to compare effects of different proportions of tropical maize inbred line NC298 in hybrids male parent on grain yield and grain moisture content, using method of orthogonal polynomials.Methods of direct crosses and backcrosses were used to form four hybrid groups (six hybrids each) containing 0, 25, 50 and 75 percent of tropical exotic germplasm, respectively, by their male parent (or one half of mentioned proportions in the corresponding hybrids). The linear components of the germplasm proportions sum of squares, were significant (p<0.01) for both grain yield and moisture content and the cubic effect (p<0.05) for grain yield only. Results in this study clearly suggested backcross foundation populations with an adapted line to be appropriate selection sources for both grain yield and grain moisture content.

Key words: germplasm, maize, orthogonal polynomials, temperate germplasm.

Genetic markers, from morphological to molecular, in function with early indicators of tolerance toward drought, have been an object of research and scientific papers for many years. It starts with the hypothesis that seedlings produced from seeds that were collected from population of extremely different site conditions, on the level of open pollinated families, will have different results concerning drought tolerance. By tracking the dynamics of germination and morphological parameters of saplings, we are researching the interdependence of these parameters with the survival and growth of two-year-old seedlings in conditions where there is a lack of water. Austrian Pine seeds were collected from forty trees, distributed over five provenances on the Balkan Peninsula. Within each provenance a group is assigned to an extremely harsh and dry habitat, while also another group is assigned to prosperous (the most productive) habitat. The analysis of the twenty-one-day-old seedlings (saplings) is performed in the laboratory, while the tolerance test of the two-year-old seedlings is performed in the field. Seedlings that are exposed to conditions in which there is lack of water, have the coefficient of water formation evaluation 22.59 times bigger than sandy-clay soil with fraction of sand bigger than 60 percent.The results show significant and positive correlation between some parameters of saplings and the dynamics of growth (high increments) of the seedlings in drought, but no correlation with the survival of the seedlings.

This paper deals with interrelationship between grain yield and some physiological parameters of wheat plant nitrogen nutrition efficiency as well as interrelationships between these parameters and some yield related traits (biological yield, grain harvest index). The aim of such investigation is to affirm possibilities of using physiological parameters of wheat plant nitrogen nutrition efficiency as criterions in breeding on its grain yield. The investigation, conducted as three years field trials, included 30 wheat cultivars and perspective lines. There were studied: nitrogen content in the above – ground part of plant at anthesis, in grain, in straw and total nitrogen content at maturity, nitrogen harvest index, nitrogen reutilization, post – anthesis nitrogen accumulation and physiological efficiency of nitrogen. The positive and statistically high significant relationships between nitrogen content in the above – ground part of plant at anthesis, in grain and in straw, total nitrogen content at maturity, nitrogen reutilization and post – anthesis accumulation as physiological parameters and grain yield were registered in investigated material. Most of listed parameters, important by grain yield aspect, can be studied easily and measured before wheat vegetative period ends. The investigated parameters can be recommended as criterions for selecting of parental pairs and evaluating progeny in breeding of wheat on grain yield, considering to their determined interrelationships and their measurability.

Key words: breeding, efficiency, nitrogen nutrition, parameters, wheat, grain yield.

Abstract

Knežević-Pognačev M. (2011): Recurrent headache and migraine within the family - Genetika, Vol 43, No. 1,101 - 112.

The aim of this research was to determine risk for family appearance of the recurrent headache (non-migraine and migraine). The recurrent headache can be understood as being a heterogeneous state, consisting of some more, still not found, hereditary disposition factors which altogether, interacting with surrounding factors give the recognizable clinical picture. The current heredity concept suggests multifactor heredity. The research was conducted in Vojvodina, the Northern Province of Serbia. The population of Vojvodina is around 2 million people belonging to more than 20 different ethnic groups. During the 20 years period (1988-2008), 30363 children aged 3 to 17 years were tested, independent of the place of birth. The presence of headaches similar to those tested was compared among all the members of the family within three generations. Positive family data of the recurrent headaches was detected among 98,6% children with migraine headaches, 64,7% children with non-migraine headaches, and 32,4% children without recurrent headaches. The relation among the members of the nuclear family (contingency quotient of 0,429) is significantly stronger than the relation to the members of wider family (contingency quotient of 0,338).The probability of a child having the migraine headache, and not the non-migraine one, is 0,664 for a mother, 0,644 for a father, 0,411 for a father`s mother, - 0,175 for a mother`s mother, 0,165 for a mother`s father, and - 0,102 for a father`s father having similar recurrent headaches.

Key words: family, migraine, recurrent headache.

Abstract

Yadav H.K. and S.P. Singh (2011): Inheritance of quantitative traits in opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L). - Genetika, Vol 43, No. 1,113 -128.

Generation mean analysis was carried out using five parameter model on five cross combinations with five generations i.e. parents, F_1s, F_2s, and F_3s randomly selected from partial diallel breeding experiment. The aim of study was to investigate the mode of gene actions involved in the inheritance of quantitative traits viz. days to 50% flowering, plant height, leaves/plant, capsules/plant, capsule size, capsule weight/plant, seed yield/plant and opium yield/plant. C and D scaling test showed the presence of non allelic interaction in the inheritance for all the traits except for plant height, seed yield/plant (ND1001xIS13) and capsule size (NBR5xND1002) which showed non interacting mode of inheritance. In general, the interaction effect together i.e. additive x additive [i] and dominance x dominance [l] found in higher magnitude than the combined main effects of additive [d] and dominance [h] effects for all the traits in all the five crosses. Dominance effect [h] was found pronounced for most of the traits except days to 50% flowering where additive effect [d] was found prevalent. Among the interaction effects dominance x dominance [l] was predominant over additive x additive [i] for all traits in all the five crosses except capsules/plant and capsule size in cross ND1001xNBRI11 and leaves/plant and opium yield/plant in cross NBRI5xND1002. As per sign of dominance (h) and dominance x dominance (l) duplicate epistasis were noticed for all the traits except plant height and leaves/plant in cross ND1001xUO1285. Potence ratio indicated presence of over dominance for almost all the traits. Substantial amount of realized heterosis, residual heterosis in F₂and F₃ progenies and high heritability with moderate to high genetic advance in F₂ progeny and significant correlation among important traits in desirable direction were observed. A breeding strategy of diallel selective mating or biparental mating in early segregating generation followed by recurrent selection may be used for genetic improvement.

Due to specific climatic conditions, perennial ryegrass breeding in Serbia is focused on resistance or tolerance to abiotic stress factors, especially to drought and high temperatures. These traits should be associated with high dry matter yield and quality. Therefore, most frequently used initial material is autochthonous populations and ecotypes adapted to local agro-ecological conditions, but knowledge about their variability of important traits for breeding is missing. Pre-selection evaluation of ten populations of perennial ryegrass originating from Serbia is presented in this paper. Twenty five traits were investigated during the two-year period and processed using analysis of variance and multivariate statistical methods (cluster and principal components analysis). The goal was to determine diversity and genetic distances of investigated populations by phenotyping and to define traits considerably affecting the variability and discrimination of populations. On cluster diagram two groups of population are observed, but geographic origin of populations (lowland, hilly, mountainous habitat) was not influence to clustering of collection. Factor analysis has clarified that first seven principal components (PC) described almost 95%. The traits which show high correlation coefficients with first principal component were plant height in first cut, leaf length and width, DM of generative tillers, spike and spikelet length and 1000 seed weight, and with second principal component time of heading, terminal internode length, DM of vegetative tillers, spikelet number and FSU.It can be concluded that variability between populations was high and that differences of population were mainly affected by most important traits for breeding, such as components of dry matter production and some seed yield components.

Hristov N., N. Mladenov, A. Kondic-Špika, A.Marijanovic Jernomela, B. Jockovic, and G. Jacimovic (2011): Effect of environmental and genetic factors on the correlation and stability of grain yield components in wheat - Genetika, Vol 43, No. 1,141 -152.

More effective breeding and development of new wheat genotypes depend on an intricate analysis of the complex relationships among many different traits. The objective of this paper was to determine the interrelationship, direct and indirect effects, and stability of different yield components in wheat. Forty divergent genotypes were analyzed in a three-year study (2005-2007). Highly significant correlations were found between grain yield per plant and all the other traits analyzed except spike length, with the only negative correlation being that with plant height. Path analysis revealed highly significant direct effects of grain number per spike, grain mass per spike and 1000 grain weight on grain yield per plant. Analysis of stability parameters showed that the stability of grain yield per plant depended for the most part on the stability of grain number per spike, grain mass per spike and harvest index. Cluster analysis identified genotypes with a high performance for grain yield per plant and good stability parameters, indicating the possibility of developing wheat varieties with a high potential and high stability for a particular trait.

Key words: correlations, path analysis, stability, wheat.

Abstract

Talaie A., M. Shojaie-Saadee, A. Dadashpour and M. Ali Asgari-Sarcheshmeh (2011): Fruit quality in five apple cultivars trees trained to intensive training system: geneva y-trellis . - Genetika, Vol 43, No. 1, 153-161.

Orchard intensification is motivated by the desire to produce fruit early in the life of the orchard to rapidly recover establishment costs. Intensification is possible by using dwarfing rootstocks that control tree size, induce early cropping, and produce large quantities of fruit relative to the amount of wood produced. Therefore, this study attempts to compare some yield and fruit properties of five apple cultivars grown in the Karaj area of Iran. The concerned apple cultivars were ‘Golab-kohans’ (Iranian cultivar), ‘Fuji’, ‘Starking’, ‘Delbar estival’ and ‘Prime rose’ (commercial foreign cultivars) that were grafted on M.9 rootstock which were trained in Geneva Y-trellis system. All of these trees were planted in winter 2004. The trees were irrigated from the second year after planting and the method of irrigation was drip irrigation. pH (4.07) and Humidity Content (85.96 %) were the highest with the ‘Golab-kohans’ (Iranian cultivar). Also ‘Delbar estival’ had the highest fruit length (6.13 cm), L/D (0.87) and TSS (15.77). ‘Starking’ had the highest fruit weight (145.24 gr), fruit diameter (6.91 cm) and Ash (0.71 %). In addition, the most dry matter (20.13 %), fruit firmness (13.13 kg/cm²) and titrable acid (0.72 %) were recorded with ‘Fuji’.

Key words: apple cultivars, fruit properties, Geneva Y-trellis system

Current demands of consumers and thus producers are important when targeting watermelon breeding programs, especially in programs aimed at improvement of fruit traits. A complete diallel set has been investigated for breeding values of six watermelon lines, via general and specific combining ability, relationships between general and specific combining ability, heritability and heterosis for fruit size, rind thickness, soluble solids and fruit shape. The lines P2 and P4 were good general combiners for fruit size. These lines also had high values of specific combining ability in direct and reciprocal crosses. The lines with negative general combining ability for fruit size (P1 and P5) can be used in breeding for small fruits (4-6 kg), good taste (high sugar content), desired rind thickness, desired fruit form and high fruit ratio. Relationships between general and specific combining ability indicated that the additive effect played an important role in the expression of fruit weight, rind thickness and sugar content, while fruit shape was inherited incompletely dominantly.

Discovery of tribenuron-methyl resistant wild Helianthus annuus L. population (ANN-KAN) created an opportunity for expansion of sunflower herbicide resistance breeding program. The aim of this study was development of sunflower hybrids resistant to tribenuron-methyl. Creation of tribenuron-methyl resistant hybrids would enable the use of a wider palette of herbicides for sunflower, more efficient chemical control of Cirsium arvense and more economically profitable post-emergence control of some annual broad-leaves weeds in sunflower.

Original populations SURES-1 and SURES-2 are homozygous for resistance to tribenuron-methyl. F₁ generations produced from the crossings are completely resistant to tribenuron-methyl, pointing out to dominant way of inheritance of this trait. Studies on the exact number of genes controlling the resistance are in progress. Tribenuron-methyl resistance was transferred from original populations into a number of female and male inbred lines of cultivated sunflower. These inbred lines could enable creation of a number of hybrids resistant to tribenuron-methyl. Hybrids SUMO-1-PR, SUMO-2-OR and SUMO-3 are resistant to doubled application dose of tribenuron-methyl. Agronomical characteristics of these hybrids are on the level with the leading conventional sunflower hybrids.

Key words: hybrid, sunflower, tolerance, tribenuron-methyl

Analyzing 167 non-processed seed samples of wheat, it was found that 145 samples (86.8 %) were contaminated with Tilletia species, while 22 (13.2 %) samples were not contaminated. By using rep-PCR fingerprinting technique, it was found that DNA isolates of T. tritici originated from Serbian wheat samples had 80 % similarity with positive control for T. tritici. One isolate shared similarity of 60% with T. tritici,
T. controversa and T. laevis. It was supposed that this isolate belongs to T. bromi. Isolate of T. laevis shared a similarity of 70 % with isolates of T. tritici and T. controversa, while T. walkeri was more than 10 % similar with T. tritici, T. controversa and T. laevis. Although T. controversa and T. tritici had high percent of genetic similarity, they were clustered separately. Our results suggest that rep-PCR fingerprinting could be a useful tool for monitoring presence of morphologically similar Tilletia species in wheat production areas.

A three-year trial (2003-2005) was conducted under agro ecological conditions of Timočka Krajina (the experiment farm of Technological Research Center in Zaječar). Research object were six malting barley genotypes, which were top-dressed with the following amounts of nitrogen in the course of growing season: 40, 60, 80 and 100 kg ha^-1. A non-fertilized variant served as a control. The obtained results indicated that the tested genotypes reacted to increased amounts of nitrogen by changing their morphological and biological characteristics as well as the technological values of grain. The effectiveness of the applied nitrogen depended significantly on the distribution of rainfall in periods of highest water uptake by malting barley.

Key words: genotype, grain quality, malting barley, morphological and biological characteristics, nitrogen fertilization

HLA-DP antigens present peptides to CD4+ T cells and play an important role in autoimmune diseases and parasitic infections. We have sequenced HLA-DPB1 exon-2 from the ethnic populations in West Bengal, India and report a novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) - rs111221466. The rs111221466 SNP induced silent mutation from CGA (Arg) to TGA (Stop Codon) and showed a frequency of 83.24%. In conventional sense, the frequency of novel SNP is very high. We have sequenced HLA-DPB1 exon-2 from a Bengali Population in West Bengal, India. HLA-DP antigens present peptides to CD4+ T cells and play an important role in autoimmune diseases and parasitic infections. Here, we report a novel single nucleotide polymorphism of HLA-DPB1 gene in the population. rs111221466 showed a frequency of 83.24, which is important to note, in view of common polymorphisms involved in disease susceptibility.
