Abstract Development of high yielding cultivars with determinate growth habit in photoperiod insensitive (PIS) background is one of the major objectives of breeding grain legumes crops including dolichos bean. A thoroughly validated genetic basis is a prerequisite for breeding dolichos bean for determinate growth habit in PIS background. Based on the published reports by researchers of our laboratory and those by others, and our unpublished data, we hypothesized that the number and mode of action of genes controlling growth habit differ with degree of photoperiod sensitivity of the genetic material used to investigate the inheritance of growth habit in dolichos bean. To test this hypothesis, we compared the number and mode of action of genes controlling growth habit between segregating generations in Photoperiod sensitive (PS) and those in PIS genetic backgrounds. While indeterminate and determinate plants segregated in 15:1 ratio in F2 populations derived from crosses between determinate PIS and indeterminate PIS parents, they segregated in 9:7 ratio with indeterminacy being dominant in F2 populations derived from crosses between determinate PIS and indeterminate PS parents. These patterns of segregation (15:1 and 9:7) in favour of indeterminate and determinate plants, respectively in F2 populations were confirmed in F3 populations of PIS and PS genetic backgrounds based on good fit between observed and expected ratios (55:9 and 29:35, respectively) in favour of indeterminate and determinate plants, respectively. The patterns of segregation in F2 populations were further confirmed in F3 populations based on good fit between observed and expected ratios of 3:1 segregating and non-segregating families, and of 3:1 indeterminate and determinate non-segregating families, respectively.

Abstract Growth habit is a plant architectural trait in grain legumes with no exception of horse gram. Determinacy and indeterminacy are the two types of growth habits reported in horse gram. Relative advantages of the two types of growth habit depend on the production systems to which cultivars are targeted. Dependable information on genetics of growth habit provide clues for adopting the most appropriate selection strategy to breed high yielding horse gram varieties with desired growth habit. Taking cues from the past studies, we hypothesize that growth habit in horse gram is controlled by two genes displaying inhibitory epistasis and indeterminacy is dominant over determinacy. To test this hypothesis, we monitored the inheritance of growth habit in F1, F2 and F3 generations derived from two crosses involving parents differing for growth habit. Contrary to our hypothesis, determinate growth habit of F1s of both the crosses suggested dominance of determinacy over indeterminacy. A good fit of observed segregation of F2 plants to that of the hypothesized segregation in the ratio of 13 determinate: 3 indeterminate plants, besides confirming dominance of determinacy, suggested classical digenic inhibitory epistatic control of growth habit. These results were further confirmed in F3 generation based on goodness of fit between observed numbers of plants segregating for determinacy and indeterminacy and those expected in the ratio of 49 determinate: 15 indeterminate plants. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the inheritance of growth habit in horse gram.

This review is devoted to the analysis of molecular genetic mechanisms of controlling the type of growth habit of grain legumes (pea, soybean, common bean, vigna); it provides information on the known homologous genes TFL1, LFY, AP1, FUL, FT, and FD. Significant changes in plant architecture were during domestication of grain legumes. Many wild relatives of legumes are characterized by an indeterminate growth habit type, cultivated plants are characterized by indeterminate and determinate types. In plants with a determinate growth habit type, terminal inflorescence is formed at transition from the vegetative phase to the reproductive phase. These plants are characterized by a complex of features: simultaneous maturation of beans, resistance to lodging, etc. In indeterminate type of growth habit, the apical shoot meristem remains active during plant life. The main genes responsible for the plant transition to flowering are the homologs of the Arabidopsis genes LFY, TFL1, AP1. TFL1 gene is responsible for maintaining of growth of the shoot apical meristem; its homologs were identified in pea (PsTFL1a), soybean (Dt1/ GmTfl1), common bean (PvTFL1y), cowpea (VuTFL1). The identification and characterization of the genes responsible for the type of stem growth habit are necessary for the successful selection of modern varieties suitable for mechanized cultivation. Design of molecular markers that diagnose this important breeding trait at early plant development stages, will help determine the type of stem growth habit.

Photoperiod responsive flowering and growth habit might have played a key role in domestication of lablab bean (Lablab purpureus) and currently shifting its cultivation from intercropping to monoculture. Most of the landraces of lablab bean exhibit photoperiod sensitivity in flowering and indeterminate growth habit. A cross was made between GNIB21 and GP189 which are phenotypic extremes for photoperiod responsive flowering. The F1 hybrid exhibited dominant traits like indeterminate growth habit and photosensitive flowering endowed from male parent. Segregation pattern of 3:1 in F2 generation indicated monogenic recessive nature of photoperiod insensitive flowering. Bulk segregant analysis in F2 population revealed association of PvTFLy1, a locus governing determinate growth habit in lablab bean, with photoperiod responsive flowering where an amplicon of 300 bp was observed in photo sensitive GP189 while it was absent in photo insensitive variety GNIB21. Significant ÷2 test indicated coupling phase of linkage between PvTFLY1 and photoperiod responsive flowering. Linkage analysis placed PvTFLY1 at the distance of 19.23 cM from the locus governing photoperiod responsive flowering. The linkage between growth habit and photoperiod responsive flowering in common bean, soybean and Indian bean suggest that these traits may be governed by mutation or deletion of E3 (or GmPhyA3) and Dt1 homologs in Indian bean. Information available on characterized genes for photoperiod responsive flowering and determinate growth habit from common bean, soybean and other related legumes may be utilized for isolation, characterization, mapping and molecular dissection of genes involved in regulation of photoperiod responsive flowering in Indian bean.

SummaryThe antiflorigenic signal SELF-PRUNING, which controls growth habit, exerts its effects through auxin transport, signaling and metabolism in tomato.AbstractThe SELF PRUNING (SP) gene is a key regulator of growth habit in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). It is an ortholog of TERMINAL FLOWER 1, a phosphatidyl-ethanolamine binding protein with anti-florigenic activity in Arabidopsis thaliana. A spontaneous loss-of-function sp mutation has been bred into a large number of industrial tomato cultivars, as it produces a suite of pleiotropic effects that are favorable for mechanical harvesting, including determinate growth habit, short plant stature and simultaneous fruit ripening. However, the physiological basis for these phenotypic differences has not been thoroughly explained. Here, we show that the sp mutation alters polar auxin transport as well as auxin responses such gravitropic curvature and elongation of excised hypocotyl segments. We further demonstrate that free auxin levels and auxin-regulated gene expression patterns are altered in sp, with epistatic effects of diageotropica, a mutation in a cyclophilin A protein-encoding gene. Our results indicate that SP impacts growth habit in tomato, at least in part, via changes in auxin transport and responsiveness. These findings hint at novel targets that could be manipulated in the control of growth habit and productivity.

Growth characteristics were investigated in 40 temperate herbaceous perennial species in relation to habitat. Some forest plants completed leaf development and shoot elongation before and during canopy closure. This rapid foliation involved expansion of only a small number of foliage leaves, disappearance of scale leaves, and a reduced shoot height. These species showed a determinate growth habit and early initiation of flowering. These are characteristics considered to have evolved in association with shade stress. In contrast, plants mainly found in exposed sites with a tall-herb vegetation continued leaf development and shoot elongation even in mid-August. These species possessed a determinate growth habit, not investing photosynthates into sexual organs at least during early vegetative growth, and showed late initiation of flowering. These characteristics appear to be related to competition for light. Plants in exposed sites without tall herbs also continued leaf development in mid-August, but they had rosette forms coupled with indeterminate growth habit and varying time of flowering initiation. These traits allow the plants to make maximum use of the growing season and are advantageous to vegetative regeneration after disturbance. On the basis of the leaf-development duration in this study and dormant states obtained in a previous study, three growth-rhythm categories can be recognized in relation to habitat. Key words: growth form, growth habit, growth rhythm, leaf-development duration, flowering initiation, shade stress, disturbance, competition.
