Quantitative Genetic

Quantitative genetic variation of development rate was evident among 20 half-sib and 40 full-sib families within each of two seasonally separate components of a population of pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) (Ho: no sire effect on temperature units at hatch, P < 0.02). Differences between averages of families spawned 3 weeks apart may have had genetic or environmental sources (e.g., in constant 8°C, early embryos hatched at 606 temperature units, and late embryos, at 625). Statistical interactions between paternal effects and environment (embryos were cultured in four temperature regimes, two simulated natural regimes and two constant temperatures; Ho: no sire by regime interaction effect on temperature units at hatch, P < 0.09) were weak evidence that genotype by environment interactions contributed to variation. Paternal effects in analysis of variance (evidence of additive genetic variation) were detected only at later stages. Evidences of genetic variation and of interactions between genotypes and environments are pertinent to resource conservation because they suggest that harvest management or hatchery practice have the potential to reduce genetic variation in salmon populations.

Analyse Data

Eucalyptus globulus is one of the best known examples of a heteroblastic plant. It exhibits a dramatic phase change from distinctive juvenile to adult leaves, but the timing of this transition varies markedly. We examined the genetic variation in the timing of heteroblastic transition using five large open-pollinated progeny trials established in north-western Tasmania. We used univariate and multi-variate mixed models to analyse data on the presence/absence of adult or intermediate foliage at age 2 years from a total of 14 860 trees across five trials, as well as height to heteroblastic phase change from one trial. Up to 566 families and 15 geographic subraces of E. globulus were represented in the trials. The timing of the heteroblastic transition was genetically variable and under strong genetic control at the subrace and within-subrace level, with single-trial narrow-sense heritability estimates for the binary trait averaging 0.50 (range 0.44–0.65). The degree of quantitative trait differentiation in the timing of heteroblastic transition among subraces, as measured by QST, exceeded the published level of neutral molecular marker (FST) differentiation in all cases, arguing that diversifying selection has contributed to shaping broad-scale patterns of genetic differentiation. Most inter-trial genetic correlations were close to one at the subrace and additive genetic levels, indicating that the genetic variation in this important developmental change is expressed in a stable manner and that genotype-by-environment interaction is minimal across the environments studied.

Abstract Variation in branching pattern was studied in six Virginia group peanut cultivais (ssp. hypogaea var. hypogaea). Lines with genetically distinct branching patterns differing from the normal pattern were readily found in two of the cultivars. These variable lines showed no yield advantage over the normal lines. It was concluded that there is considerable genetic variation for branching pattern in Virginia peanuts. The variation could be ascribed to a range of modifier genes which can change the normal pattern of branching. There were indications of a strong environmental effect on branching pattern and of a genotype by environment interaction.

Survival And Development

Heterozygosity of 59 pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) families was compared with embryo and alevin survival, hatching time, and emergence time for developmental temperatures of 4, 8, and 15 °C. There was no consistent association between heterozygosity determined at 23 loci and either embryo or alevin survival or development rate at any of the three rearing temperatures. Embryos and alevins from more heterozygous parents did not have higher survival rates during development at the more extreme temperatures (4 and 15 °C). Hatching and emergence timing was unrelated to parental heterozygosity. For pink salmon, there is no evidence to indicate that heterozygosity is correlated with any phenotypic trait yet examined.

Factorial Mating Design

A factorial mating design was used in which three males were mated to either two or three females in each of the three sets of pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), and the juveniles were reared for 420 days after fry emergence. The parents used were derived from pink salmon that had been reared for one generation in captivity. Pink salmon families from this captive second generation were characterized by low growth rates, high within-family variance in juvenile weight, and low (< 0.11) heritability of juvenile weight. Maternal effects were estimated to account for about 20% of the observed variation in juvenile weight after the juveniles had been reared for 420 days. The observed results were postulated to be accounted for by variation in egg quality in the parental generation, presumably a consequence of an inadequate diet.Key words: development, genetics, growth, pink salmon, size.

Two Generations

Hybrids of genetically isolated odd- and even-year pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) from the same stream were made by fertilizing eggs with cryopreserved milt. Anadromous first-generation (F1) hybrids and controls returned to the hatchery at equal rates (153 of 5483 and 160 of 5492, respectively), on the same average date, and with the same size. However, variances of F1 size (female length and weight and male length) exceeded variances of control sizes, suggesting increased genetic variation in F1's. Only 11 of 5165 F2's returned. F2's were similar meristically and in size to fish of their parents' generation, but were bilaterally more asymmetric in number of gill rakers and in combined numbers of gill rakers and of branchiostegals. Increased F1 variation followed by low F2 returns and increased bilateral asymmetry is a pattern to be expected when coadapted allele complexes are disrupted by outbreeding depression.

Ammi Analysis

Genotype by environment interaction (GEI) of 18 barley varieties was assessed during two successive rabi crop seasons so as to identify high yielding and stable barley varieties. AMMI analysis showed that genotypes (G), environment (E) and GEI accounted for 1672.35, 78.25 and 20.51 of total variance, respectively. Partitioning of sum of squares due to GEI revealed significance of interaction principal component axis IPCA1 only On the basis of AMMI biplot analysis DWRB 137 (41.03qha–1), RD 2715 (32.54qha–1), BH 902 (37.53qha–1) and RD 2907 (33.29qha–1) exhibited grain yield superiority of 64.45, 30.42, 50.42 and 33.42 per cent, respectively over farmers’ recycled variety (24.43qha–1).
