针对坪用质量、抗病虫性以及繁殖性能等性状,对有代表性的60份结缕草(Z oy sia spp.)加以评价。结果表明:不同性状变异系数排序为:繁殖性能(种子产量>生长速度)>抗病虫性(抗锈病>抗螨虫性)>坪用质量(旺盛生长季>缓慢生长季);快速生长季节(5-9月)草坪质量显著受锈病和种子产量的影响,而缓慢生长季节(10-4月)坪用质量受锈病和种子产量的影响不显著;而结缕草种子产量与其生长速度呈显著负相关;Z039、Z091以及Z016等9份种源是种子繁殖型优良选系,而Z097、Z002、Z036等10份种源是营养繁殖型优良选系。
The characteristics of fruit ripening and expression of ripening-related genes were investigated in epi, an ethylene overproduction mutant of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). The epi produces apparently more ethylene than its wild type VFN8 at every stage of vegetative and fruit growth and ripening; compared to VFN8, the epi fruit showed higher CO2 evolution, faster descending of chlorophyll, slightly quicker increase of carotenoid and lycopene, and faster reduction in pericarp firmness during maturation and ripening; and the mRNAs of three ripening-related genes including E8, pTOM5 and pTOM6 were at higher levels in epi. The ripening-related characteristics changing of the fruit are consistent with the increase of ethylene production and ripening-related genes expression. These results suggest that epi mutation possibly did not affect the ethylene perception and signaling during fruit ripening, and that the modified characteristics of fruit ripening possibly resulted from the ethylene over- production and increased expression of ripening-related genes.
