Abstract

 

Petrovic S. and M. Dimitrijevic (2012): Genetic erosion of diversity in cereals. - Genetika, Vol 44, No. 2, 217 - 226.

Cereals play an important role in human nutrition. Consequently, one of the main goals in breeding is to obtain varieties with high genetic potential for yield. Modern agricultural production includes the expansion of intensive varieties over large areas that lead to narrow selection criteria in breeding programs. The consequence is a drastic reduction in the number of species and genotypes (genetic erosion), or harming biological diversity of local populations, and spontaneous relatives (biodiversity) in cereals.

Based on detailed inventories of the territory of Montenegro and to some extent in Eastern Serbia, a endangerment of gene pool in cereals could be denoted.  The reason for this is a transition to another type of agricultural production, changing land purposes, the presence of nursing homes, and use of intensive varieties. Old varieties and local populations represent the original genetic variability that could be used in breeding programs and organic production. It is therefore essential to take measures to preserve the genetic resources of cereals.

Key words: biodiversity, cereals, genetic erosion, landraces

Species from Cucurbitaceae family are not widely present in Serbia, although because of their morphological and decorative features deserve more attention. The aim of this paper was to study the morphological variability and usage of ten species of the Cucurbiataceae family. Based on genetic variability, species were grouped into 8 clusters. Fruit characteristics of most investigated species showed great similarity and the greatest differences were attained for flower and fruit characteristics. The longest was the fruit of Trichosanthes cucumerina (46.2 cm), while the shortest of Cucumis myriocarpus (3.4 cm) which had the smallest circumference as well (4.4 cm). The largest circumference of fruit was recorded for the species Cucumis aculeatus (16.4 cm). In terms of fruit color Momordica balsamina had a red fruit, allocated from other species whose fruits were in various shades of green. Variability is reflected in large variations in size, shape and color of fruit. Considerating that usages of these species are multiple (food for humans and animals, ornamental) studyed species deserve special attention in their further propagation and use.

Key words: Cucurbitaceae, variability, usage

Abstract

 

Dadashpour A. (2012): Impacts of different salt source and concentrations on germination and seedling growth of many pumpkin seeds used as rootstoch in Iran. - Genetika, Vol 44, No. 2, 235 - 250.

            The effects of different salt sources (C Cl2, NaCl, and KCl) and concentrations, as measured by electrical conductivity, (0, "control", 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 dS m-1) on seed germination and seedling growth of “Ferro”, “Obez”, “RS 841” and “Strong Tosa F1” pumpkin varieties used as rootstock were investigated in this study. The results showed that germination rate, root length, shoot length, fresh root weight, dry root weight, fresh shoot weight and dry shoot weights tend to decrease when the electrical conductivity of the solution is higher than 5 dS m-1, independent of salt sources and in all of the varieties. Three days after seeding, a germination ratio of 5 % was obtained from RS 841 variety in all salt source and concentrations, while a germination ratio over 50 % was obtained in “Strong Tosa” variety for the same conditions except CaCl2 salt source. Nevertheless, seeds germinated in medium having high concentrations of CaCl2 had lower germination rate and poor seedling growth, compared to media having the same concentrations of NaCl and KCl. It was concluded that all of the varieties studied were more sensitive to the concentrations prepared using CaCl2 than that of the KCl, and NaCl.

Key words: germination, rootstock, salinity, seedling

Deletić N., S. Stojković, S. Gudžić, V. Djurić, and M. Aksić (2012): Genotypic specificity of some winter wheat traits and their effect on grain yield. - Genetika, Vol. 44, No. 2, 249 - 258.

This paper presents the two year results of a study dealing with genotypic specificity of some nitrogen accumulation parameters and yield components, as well as their individual and joint influence on grain yield per plant, in twenty Serbian winter wheat cultivars. There were significant differences among the investigated cultivars regarding the all studied traits. Coefficient of variation ranged from 6.81% for 1000 grain mass to 12.91% for total nitrogen accumulation. Cluster analysis showed the studied genotypes divided into two clusters, where larger one was further divided into several smaller clusters. Good definition of clusters is a sign that these traits’ pattern is a distinctive property of a genotype. Multiple regression analysis showed that the all four studied traits, as well as intercept value, had significant effect on grain yield. The greatest effect was expressed by number of grain per spike, where standardized regression coefficient (β) was 0.535. Adjusted R2 value (0.984) showed that 98.4% of the observed variation in grain yield was explained by the studied four traits. When biological yield is regarded, only total nitrogen accumulation and intercept value were significant. β value for total NA was 0.713, and adjusted R2 was 0.787.

Key words: cluster analysis, grain yield, nitrogen, regression, wheat

Ten wild growing sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) genotypes from South-East Serbia with different fruit skin color were analyzed for its phenological, morphological and chemical traits. Agronomic evaluation of germplasm accessions revealed considerable diversity among different accessions for all the characters studied. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among all genotypes for almost all examined properties. Cluster analysis showed adequate grouping of wild sweet cherry genotypes according to pomological characterization and distinguished them into two distinct groups. The first group had two subgroups and consisted of seven genotypes, while the second one included only three accessions. Despite of the significant differences among genotypes, the total concentration of phenols made a clear separation between the clusters. The level of genetic diversity in these wild sweet cherry genotypes is very high and therefore these trees are useful sources of variability for attributes studied and can be employed in further breeding programs or conservation.

In order to estimate, at the molecular level, the divergence of parental lines that were used in diallel crossbreeding for production of superior offspring (F1 generation hybrids) at the Institute for Vegetable Crops, the molecular analysis using five RAPD markers for five pairs of parents has been performed. It gives an insight into their genetic polymorphism and the possibility of their further use in breeding programs. Information from this research has pioneered the application of molecular markers of onion in Serbia.

Analyses were performed using the RAPD primers, which in previous studies established a high degree of polymorphism. In all five cases there was a corresponding amplification of DNA segments. From totally 50 bands analyzed, the length of fragments ranged from 500 to 3000 bp. Number of polymorphic band per example was 8 to 13. In our research at the level of the analyzed primers, a high degree of polymorphism between analyzed genotypes has been found. Based on UPGMA dendogram, analyzed genotypes were divided into two main clusters and two subclusters.

Key words: genetic polymorphism, RAPD, onion

In order to determine the best indirect selection criteria for genetic improvement of biological nitrogen fixation, sixty four common bean genotypes were cultivated in two randomized complete block design. Genotypes were inoculated with bacteria Rhizobium legominosarum biovar Phaseoli isolate L-109 only in one of the experiments. The second experiment was considered as check for the first. Correlation analysis showed positive and highly significant correlation of majority of the traits with percent of nitrogen fixation. Step-wise regression designated that traits percent of total nitrogen of shoot, number of nodule per plant and biological yield accounted for 92.3 percent of variation exist in percent of nitrogen fixation. Path analysis indicated that these traits have direct and positive effect on percent of nitrogen fixation. Hence, these traits are promising indirect selection criteria for genetic improvement of nitrogen fixation capability in common bean genotypes especially in early generations.

Autochthonous genotypes of fruit species are very important source of genetic variability and valuable material for breeding work. Fruit Research Institute–Čačak has a long tradition of studying autochthonous genotypes of temperate fruits sporadically spread and preserved in some localities in Serbia. Over 2005–2006, the following properties of nine autochthonous sour cherry genotypes grown in Feketić region were investigated: flowering and ripening time, pomological properties, biochemical composition of fruits and field resistance to causal agents of cherry diseases – cherry leaf spot (Blumeriella jaapii (Rehm.) v. Arx.), shot-hole (Clasterosporium carpophilum (Lév.) Aderh.) and brown rot (Monilinia laxa /Ader et Ruhl./ Honey ex Whetz.). The genotypes were tested for the presence of Prune dwarf virus and Prunus necrotic ring spot virus. In majority of genotypes fruits were large, with exceptional organoleptical properties, whereas ripening time was in the first ten or twenty days of June. The highest fruit weight was observed in F-1 genotype (8.1 g). The highest soluble solids and total sugars content were found in F-4 genotype (17.60% and 14.25%, respectively). As for field resistance to causal agents of diseases and good pomo-technological properties, F-1, F-2, F-3, F-7 and F-8 genotypes were singled out.

Key words: autochthonous genotypes, sour cherry, selection

Clone selection in viticulture represents a way of eliminating the negative influence of mutation changes in the future vineyard, as well as preventing the virus-infected plants and plants infected with virus-related diseases from further propagation. Riesling Italico variety is an old variety. It has been grown in Vojvodina for centuries. The clone selection of Riesling Italico variety in Sremski Karlovci was started in 1975. In January 1991 three clones were recognized. Shortly after, the subclone selection of these three clones was initiated. This paper presents the resultants of subclone selection of Riesling Italico. Subclones SK 54-4 and SK 54-10 are characterized by good quality and the grapes of these subclones can be used for the production of high quality wines in most of the years.

Key words: clonal selection, Riesling Italico, wine grape

The paper analyzes experimental hybrids of early cabbage developed at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in the previous period. The hybrids were tested together for two years and then one (H17) was chosen and submitted to the Variety Commission of the Republic of Serbia. In 2011, the experimental hybrid H17 was officially released as an early cabbage hybrid and registered under the name of NS Mendo F1. The hybrid had been developed by crossing two early lines, one of which was sterile. It is characterized by a short growing season - 65 days from transplanting to harvest. The head weight ranges from 2.5 to 3.5 kg depending on the cultural practice applied. The head is light green in color, sweet-tasting, and suitable for fresh consumption. The hybrid’s traits that contributed significantly to the formation of the first principal component were in fact those that the breeders attach most importance to in their breeding programs. These are the traits that directly influence the market value of a new hybrid and make a given hybrid recognizable on the market. Most notable among such traits are head weight and the weight of the useful part of the head.

Key words: biplot, cabbage, grouping, principal components

Abstract

 

Spasić Z., B. Milošević, N. Lalić, S. Samardžićć, Z. Ilić, and B. Ristanović (2012): Comparation of heredity coefficients of productive traits in the population of black white cows . - Genetika, Vol 44, No. 2, 317 - 324.

On the basis of genetic variability of economically important traits we orientate ourselves toward specific methods development and use in genetic improvement of a population.  However, the heritability (h2) is important for giving the answer, which traits can be included in the breeding value evaluation of a population. For determining the heritability 1502 black white breed cows were used: 751 mothers and 751 daughters (together 6393 lactations). The heritability coefficient of investigated traits in cows was calculated using three methods: regression of daughters to mothers, intraclass correlation according to bulls-sires and, for those features for which recurrence exists during the life we used method of repeatability (R).

For average milk yield, milk fat and fat edited milk during standard lactations by the method of regression and repeatability intermediate coefficients of heredity were determined (from 0,291 to 0,323), while by the interclass correlation were determined high coefficients  (from 0,461 to 0,543).The heritability coefficients for average content of milk fat were low (from 0,029 to 0,192), thus further improvement of this quantitative trait in the population would be possible mainly via bulls sires with the higher genetic potential.

Key words: black white breed: heritability, repeatability

Sabaghnia N., R. Karimizadeh, and M. Mohammadi (2012): Model selection in additive main effect and multiplicative interaction model in durum wheat. - Genetika, Vol 44, No. 2, 325 - 339.

The study included data set of 20 durum wheat genotype across 15 rain-fed environments. A combined analysis of variance showed that the genotypes differed significantly for seed yield and GE (year × location) interaction. Cross validations procedure and four various F-tests including FGollob, FRatio, FGH1 and FGH2 are used for testing the GE interaction principal component analysis (IPCA) axes and indicated that two, four, six or seven axes could be significant. According to EV1, D1, AMGE1 and SIPC1 parameters, genotypes G3, G7 and G17 were the most stable genotypes while based on EV4, D4, SIPC4 and AMGE4 parameters, genotype G13 was the most stable genotype. The hierarchical clustering showed that the twenty one studied the AMMI stability parameters and mean yield could be divided into four distinct groups. Group III contains mean yield, SIPC4, SIPC6 and SIPC8 which were computed from four, six or eight IPCAs. In conclusion, G13 (DON-MD 81-36) was found to be the most stable genotype as well as high mean yield performance (2592.45 kg ha-1) and so is recommended for commercial release in semi-arid areas of Iran. Also, the SIPC-based stability parameters of the AMMI model was found to be useful in detecting the yield stability of the genotypes studied.

Abstract

 

Stojnić S., S. Orlović, A. Pilipović, D. Vilotić, M. Šijačić Nikolić, and D. Miljković (2012): Variation in leaf physiology among three provenances of european beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in provenance trial in Serbia. - Genetika, Vol 44, No. 2, 341-353.

The paper presents the results of investigation of variability of net photosynthesis (A), transpiration (E), stomatal conductance (gs) and water use efficiency (WUE) of three European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) provenances in the provenance trial established on Fruska Gora Mt. Provenances originate from three localities along a gradient from the north to the south of Europe: Pfalzgrafenweiler (Germany), Grenchen (Swiss) and Valkonya (Hungary). Results indicate that observed parameters were influenced both by environmental conditions of sites and genetic constitution of provenances. On the basis of ANOVA procedure it was observed significant differences among provenances in terms of rate of transpiration (p≤0.037) and water use efficiency (p≤0.011), while differences regarding net photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were not statistically significant. Canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) was performed in order to estimate multivariate relations among analyzed physiological parameters. Provenances were separated by the first canonical axis (CD1), which described 96.4% of variability. Provenance from the driest site (Valkonya) showed the highest water use efficiency, indicating on high potential for afforestation programmes in more arid areas.

Key words: Fagus sylvatica, provenance trial, net photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance, water use efficiency.

Maize lines are susceptible to different herbicides, what makes seed production more complicate. The susceptibility is depending in high extent on meteorological conditions. The objective of the study was to investigate genetic variability and correlation between phytotoxicity (EWRC evaluation), alterations in dry matter (DM), phenolics and soluble proteins (SP) in sets of 19 ZP lines, to nicosulfuron and foramsulfuron, with the aim to determine sensitivity of individual lines and the potential tolerance patterns during period 2006-2009. The negative impact of both herbicides reflects through DM increase, but in higher degree in nicosulfuron treatment. They also induced in average SP increase and decrease of phenolic’s content. According to different meteorological conditions present during examined four years, SP increase was followed by increased EWRC values at same lines, opposite to lines in which decrease of SP and increase of phenolic’s level could be tied to potential tolerance, what gives importance to testing of each individual maize line. Special attention must be given to application time (according to meteorological conditions and level of weed infestation). The decrease in SP level and increase of phenolics, together with lower EWRC values observed at some lines could be associated to tolerance patterns what was emphasized particularly during 2009, when visible injuries were absent.

Key words: EWRC, maize lines, phenolics, soluble proteins, sulfonylurea herbicides

Biodiversity of natural populations, biodiversity located on farm and the introduced cultivars and selections are a rich source of genetic variability in sour and sweet cherries, but they have never been bread with the aim of creating decorative varieties. Low vigour − dwarfing and upright − sour cherry genotypes, NS 1/16 KK and NS 1/24 KK, were selected from natural population of Fruška Gora and private arboretum, respectively. Sweet cherry selections NS 6/15 K and RŠ 8/27 were part of on farm conservation of genetic resources. Furthermore, reduction in vigour was achieved by defining specific combining abilities as a result of rootstock/scion interaction. The outcome of this study is unique columnar and dwarf forms that integrate specific genetic potential of varieties and selections, their interaction with rootstocks and traditional horticultural skills. Collected biodiversity is another confirmation that the Balkan peninsula is one of the most valuable secondary centres of genetic diversity and inexhaustible gene pool for breeding both, varieties and vegetative rootstocks.

Key words: decorative forms, Prunus sp., selection, sweet and sour cherry

Antibiotic production by plant-associated microorganisms represents an environmentally compatible method of disease control in agriculture. However, a vide application of bacterial strains needs careful selection and genetic characterization. In this investigation, selected Pseudomonas strains were characterized by rep-PCR methods using ERIC and (GTG)5 primers, and partial 16S rDNA sequence analysis. None of strains produced homoserine lactones (C4, C6, C8) as quorum sensing signal molecules. Very poor production of phenazines and no significant fungal inhibition was observed for PS4 and PS6 strains. High amount of phenazines were produced by Pseudomonas sp. strain PS2, which inhibited mycelial growth of 10 phytopatogenic fungi in percent of 25 (Verticillium sp.) to 65 (Fusarium equiseti). Genetic characterization of the Pseudomonas sp. PS2 and evaluation of phenazines production, as the main trait for growth inhibition of phytopathogenic fungi, will allow its application as a biosafe PGPR for field experiments of plant disease control.

Key words: antifungal activity, ERIC, (GTG)5, PGPR, phenazines, Pseudomonas

The results of three-year study of productivity for the five leading potato varieties in Montenegro: Riviera and Tresor (early), Kennebec (medium-early), Aladin and Agria (medium-late) are presented. The research was conducted during 2009, 2010 and 2011, on three highly diverse, related to the pedological and climatic conditions, locations in mountainous region of Montenegro: Nikšić (800 m.a.s.l.), Kolašin (900 m.a.s.l.) and Žabljak (1450 m.a.s.l.). Field experiments were set up using standard methodology in random block design in four repetitions.

The analysis of variance suggested that there were highly significant differences among genotypes (G), investigated years (Y) and locations (L) for potato yield. Apart from individual influence of the factors, their interactions (G x Y, G x L, Y x L, G x Y x L) were also highly significant for investigated trait. In average the highest yield (28.9 t/ha) was established at Kolašin locality. The highest yield of all investigated varieties and localities was measured at variety Agria (30.0tha-1), while the lowest at Riviera (24.6 t ha-1). In this investigation Agria variety was favourable for yield of potato tuber.

Key words: genotype-environment interaction, mountainous region, potato, yield.

The yield, grain yield heterosis and genetic distance based on SSR markers were analyzed in eight maize hybrids and their parental lines. The mean grain yield of all F1 hybrids was 11.37 tha-1. The F1 hybrid from the crosses between L4xL6 gave the highest grain yield of 12.12 tha-1. For the mid parent heterosis (MPH) grain yields of the F1 hybrids, the data showed the average value of 164.25%, and ranged from 136.72% (L4xL6) to 218.07% (L8xL2), and for better parent heterosis (BPH) from 100.70% (H4) to 212.60% (H2), averaged 137.36%. The average genetic distance among parental inbred lines of analyzed hybrids was 0.58 with a range from 0.55 to 0.61. The GD showed a positive correlation with the grain yield of the F1 hybrids (0.22), as well as with MPH and BPH, with the values of 0.12 and 0.45, respectively.

Key words: grain yield, heterosis, maize, SSR markers

The genetic structure of Drosophila subobscura population from the Lazar’s River Canyon (Serbia) was studied with respect to restriction site polymorphism of mitochondrial DNA and chromosomal inversion polymorphism. The aim was to shed more light on the role of cytonuclear interactions in shaping mitochondrial DNA variability in this species. Similar to other populations of D. subobscura two main haplotypes (I and II) were found, as well as less common ones that appeared at very low frequencies. The frequency distribution of haplotypes did not depart from neutrality. We did not find statistically significant linkage disequilibrium between the haplotypes belonging to haplogroups I and II and any of the chromosomal arrangements. However, when we compared the data in here-by analyzed population and two previously analyzed populations we observed that haplotype I is more frequent in populations where standard inversion arrangements are less frequent. Pattern of the observed mitochondrial variability could be influenced either directly by environmental variability or through environmentally specific cytonuclear coadaptation.

Key words: Drosophila subobscura, cytonuclear coadaptation, inversion polymorphism, mtDNA

Grain weight is a genotypic characteristic that is directly related to the realization of yield. Analysis of average grain weight was performed in ten genotypes of winter hexaploid triticale (Trimaran, Ticino, Odisej, Agrano, BLT21, BLT17, BLT10, Max 1793, Bogo and Tornado). Experiment was conducted during 2005/06, 2006/07, 2007/08. in Trapisti, region Banja Luka. During the experiment of winter triticale standard agricultural practice was applied. Microclimatic conditions during triticale cultivation in 2006 and 2008. were relatively similar, while in 2007.  there was drought period occurrence. Statistical analysis of observed genotypes for the specified parameter was performed with method analysis of variance 10x3. Analyses of significant differences were done by using LSD test, while interactive effect was analyzed by graphical method. The average weight of triticale genotypes grain regardless of the year showed highly statistically significant differences, while in observation of years regardless of the genotype showed mutually statistically significant differences. Analysis of these relationships was observed through the interaction effects as a final evaluation of the observed genotypes. Based on the average values of the grain weight, winter triticale genotypes were evaluated. The average grain weight of triticale genotypes in the observed years showed the lowest average weight in 2007 (0.0369 g), while the highest grain weight was obtained in 2006 (0.0406 g). Statistically significant difference of the average grain weight of the observed genotypes of triticale regardless of the year showed that genotypes Bogo (0.0465 g), Odisej (0.0453 g) and BLT10 (0.0424 g) were those of the highest average grain weight without significant differences between them. These genotypes were evaluated as potentially productive genotypes under the agroecological conditions of Banja Luka.

Genetically modified trees are the result of modern plant breeding. Its introduction into the environment for experimental purposes or wider cultivation is defined differently from country to country. Public opinion is divided!

Conducted research are part of the activities within the COST Action FP0905 „Biosafety of forest transgenic trees”, which aims to collect information and define the scientific attitude on genetically modified trees as a basis for future European Union (EU) policy in this field. The collected information refer to eight countries: four EU member states (Italy, Slovenia, Romania and Bulgaria) and four countries in the process of pre-accession (Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina). A comparative analysis involved the state of forest resources (area of forest land and forest cover), forestry legislation, legislation relating to genetically modified organisms and the general public attitude on this issue.

The collected information provide a good basis for understanding this issue in order to define a clear scientific attitude as a recommendation.

Key words: genetically modified trees, forest resources, legislation, public attitudes
