Key message Comparative assessment identified naïve interaction model, and naïve and informed interaction GS models suitable for achieving higher prediction accuracy in groundnut keeping in mind the high genotype × environment interaction for complex traits. Abstract Genomic selection (GS) can be an efficient and cost-effective breeding approach which captures both small- and large-effect genetic factors and therefore promises to achieve higher genetic gains for complex traits such as yield and oil content in groundnut. A training population was constituted with 340 elite lines followed by genotyping with 58 K ‘Axiom_Arachis’ SNP array and phenotyping for key agronomic traits at three locations in India. Four GS models were tested using three different random cross-validation schemes (CV0, CV1 and CV2). These models are: (1) model 1 (M1 = E + L) which includes the main effects of environment (E) and line (L); (2) model 2 (M2 = E + L + G) which includes the main effects of markers (G) in addition to E and L; (3) model 3 (M3 = E + L + G + GE), a naïve interaction model; and (4) model 4 (E + L + G + LE + GE), a naïve and informed interaction model. Prediction accuracy estimated for four models indicated clear advantage of the inclusion of marker information which was reflected in better prediction accuracy achieved with models M2, M3 and M4 as compared to M1 model. High prediction accuracies (> 0.600) were observed for days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, hundred seed weight, oleic acid, rust@90 days, rust@105 days and late leaf spot@90 days, while medium prediction accuracies (0.400–0.600) were obtained for pods/plant, shelling %, and total yield/plant. Assessment of comparative prediction accuracy for different GS models to perform selection for untested genotypes, and unobserved and unevaluated environments provided greater insights on potential application of GS breeding in groundnut.
Foliar fungal diseases especially late leaf spot (LLS) and rust are the important production constraints across the peanut growing regions of the world. A set of 340 diverse peanut genotypes that includes accessions from gene bank of International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), elite breeding lines from the breeding program, and popular cultivars were screened for LLS and rust resistance and yield traits across three locations in India under natural and artificial disease epiphytotic conditions. The study revealed significant variation among the genotypes for LLS and rust resistance at different environments. Combined analysis of variance revealed significant environment (E) and genotype × environment (G×E) interactions for both the diseases indicating differential response of genotypes in different environments. The present study reported 31 genotypes as resistant to LLS and 66 to rust across the locations at 90 DAS with maturity duration 103 to 128 days. Twenty-eight genotypes showed resistance to both the diseases across the locations, of which 19 derived from A. cardenasii, five from A. hypogaea, and four from A. villosa. Site regression and Genotype by Genotype x Environment (GGE) biplot analysis identified eight genotypes as stable for LLS, 24 for rust and 14 for pod yield under disease pressure across the environments. Best performing environment specific genotypes were also identified. Nine genotypes resistant to LLS and rust showed 77% to 120% increase in pod yield over control under disease pressure with acceptable pod and kernel features that can be used as potential parents in LLS and rust resistance breeding. Pod yield increase as a consequence of resistance offered to foliar fungal diseases suggests the possibility of considering ‘foliar fungal disease resistance’ as a must-have trait in all the peanut cultivars that will be released for cultivation in rainfed ecologies in Asia and Africa. The phenotypic data of the present study will be used for designing genomic selection prediction models in peanut.
O resíduo de azoxistrobina em mangas foi determinado por cromatografia líquida de alta performance (HPLC). O resíduo foi extraído com acetonitrila e purificado tanto por extração líquido-líquido (LLE) quanto por extração de fase sólida (SPE). A análise cromatográfica foi realizada em uma coluna ODS2 com fase móvel acetonitrila: água 80:20 v/v e detecção por UV em 255 nm. As recuperações médias e limites de determinação foram iguais a 85.57 % e 0.004 µg g -1 de amostra, respectivamente. Os resultados reveleram que a meia vida da azoxistrobina foi igual a um dia, para a dose recomendada. Portanto, não há problemas de contaminação da cadeia alimentar e do meio ambiente pela adição de azoxistrobina em mangas.Azoxystrobin residue was determined in mango fruits using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Residues of azoxystrobin were extracted with acetonitrile and purified by both liquid liquid extraction (LLE) and solid phase extraction (SPE) clean up. The HPLC analysis was carried out on ODS2 column with acetonitrile: water (80:20 v/v) as the mobile phase with UV detection at 255 nm. The rate of average recoveries and limits of determinations were 85.57 % and 0.004 µg per g of sample, respectively. The results revealed that the half life of azoxystrobin in mango fruit was one day for recommended dose, hence no concern regarding contamination of the food chain and environment by azoxystrobin
Abatract:The present study explored pathogenic and genetic variability among the eleven isolates of Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler from different pulse crops. Based on morphological characters, 11 isolates were categorized into three groups viz., linear, fluffy, and linear at the end with fluffy growth at the center. Isolates also showed variability in sclerotial characters (intensity and shape) and intensity of pigment synthesis. All isolates were more aggressive on the original host from which it was isolated, which was shown by the variability in pathogenic characters. RAPD-PCR analysis has shown that genetic clustering agreed with the above findings in dendrogram analysis (2 clusters A and B). The black gram root isolates showed a maximum genetic similarity of 73 % with soya bean shoot isolate. Red gram shoot isolate showed 61% genetic similarity with green gram isolates. The findings from this study confirm the variability in R. bataticola isolates from pulses, according to their pathological as well as genetic characters. In the future, variability in pathogens will determine effective management practices.
This study was conducted to analyse the induction of lignification-related enzymes and phenolic content in rice to blast disease caused by Pyricularia grisea using azoxystrobin. The severity of rice blast was reduced (70% over control) through treatment by azoxystrobin. This reduction in disease severity was mainly associated with induction of host defense mechanisms by azoxystrobin. Increased production of secondary metabolite Á phenolic and lignification Á related enzymes, namely, peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) were observed in rice plants treated with azoxystrobin.
