Plastid Inheritance

A strain of variegated barley that originated in a Saskatchewan field produces, on selfing, progeny of which approximately 90% are albino, the remainder striped or variegated with rare full green exceptions. In crosses, variegated ♂ × green ♀ produced 7 albino, 4 striped, and 11 green F1 plants. The reciprocal cross yielded 1 striped and 41 green F1 plants. F2 segregation approximated three green to one of all others (albino and variegated). From some F2 and F3 progenies it was inferred that two genetic factor pairs might be segregating. On that hypothesis the dominant hypostatic factor for variegation must be very unstable, mutating at a high rate to white. The peculiarities of inheritance may be explained also, however, on the basis of a combination of gene and (maternal) plastid inheritance. On this interpretation the plastids present in the egg affect the colour of the seedling that develops from it. When green plastids or proplastids are present in the egg, many of them, but not necessarily all, are induced to mutate if the white w gene is homozygous, but fewer if the w gene is heterozygous. If white plastids only are present in the egg it is probable that the seedling will be an albino regardless of gene content.

The effects of extrusion treatment on the structure and properties of adlay (Job’s tears) were investigated. Adlay flour was extruded through a twin-screw extruder with different parameters, including barrel temperature (80–160°C), moisture content (19–27%), and screw speed (170–330 rpm). The results showed that although the expansion index increased with increasing temperature, an increase in moisture content significantly decreased the EI (p<0.05). Extrusion improved the water solubility index and water absorption index of adlay flour (p<0.05). Furthermore, analysis of the gelating properties revealed that the structure and function of adlay flour had radically changed. After extrusion, the viscosity of the adlay flour decreased (peak viscosity decreased by more than 1000 cP), and its fluidity increased. The rheological data were modeled by the Herschel–Bulkley model. X-ray diffraction experiments showed that extrusion contributed to a decrease in relative crystallinity. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that extrusion damaged the basic structure of adlay flour, causing holes and pits on the extrudate surface. Compared to the native adlay flour, the extrusion resulted in significantly changing the pasting, gelating, thermal, rheological, and morphological properties of adlay flour. In conclusion, the extrusion can alter adlay characteristics, but it is necessary to choose appropriate conditions to attain the desired properties.

Job’S Tears

Job’s tears (Coix lacryma-jobi L.) is an ancient plant with high nutritional and medicinal value. In this study, using 11 Chinese germplasm resources for Job’s tears, we examined genetic differences among the germplasms and differences in the in vitro antioxidant activities of coixan, and sought to identify inter-relationships between these two variables. We found that the intraspecific conservation of DNA sequences was high, with ITS regions and cpDNA trnL-F and trnH-psbA non-coding sequences showing no sequence variation, whereas the GBSSI gene showed a certain degree of variation among the different germplasms. EST-SSR analysis also revealed a relatively low level of genetic diversity among the germplasms. Coixan was shown to be an efficient antioxidant, and among the germplasms examined, the LNYX, FJPC, and AHBZ had the highest antioxidant activities. However, none of the four in vitro antioxidant activity indices we assessed were significantly correlated with the geographical origin of the germplasm (latitude and longitude); however, one of them was significantly associated with genetic diversity. Although the factors affecting the antioxidant activity of coixan are complex, the role of heredity should not be ignored. Our findings have implications for the scientific evaluation, identification, and sustainable utilization of the germplasm resources for Job’s tears.
