Pollen Genotype Effects on Seed Quality Traits in Winter Oilseed Rape
Authors: Hom Nang Hseng , Schierholt Antje , Möllers Christian , Becker Heiko C.
Published: February 2015

The genetics of seed compounds is complex because seed quality traits might be exclusively determined by the genotype of the female parent or, depending on the genotype of the embryo, may also be affected by the genotype of the pollen parent. For many quality traits of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.), the influence of the pollen parent is not well known. In this study, two male sterile lines (female parent) were pollinated by 10 genotypes (pollen parent) differing largely in seed quality. Field experiments were conducted at three locations in Northern Germany, with two replications in 1 yr. Pollen parents were sown in plots and 10 male sterile plants from each female parent were hand planted into the center of each plot. Seeds were harvested from pollen parents and from the interplanted female parents. Seeds were analyzed for oil, protein, and sinapic acid esters by near‐infrared reflectance spectroscopy; for glucosinolate and tocopherol content by high‐performance liquid chromatography; and for fatty acid content by gas liquid chromatography. Earlier results were confirmed in that fatty acid composition is dependent on the embryo genotype and is therefore largely influenced by the pollen parent. Significant pollen parent effects were also observed for oil content, indole glucosinolate, sinapoylglucose, total sinapic acid ester, and γ‐tocopherol contents. The F1 seed quality was positively correlated with the pollen parent seed quality. In conclusion, not only the fatty acid composition but also other seed quality traits such as oil content are influenced by the genotype of the pollen parent. This should be considered when analyzing open pollinated plants.
Credible Intervals for Scores in the AMMI with Random Effects for Genotype

Published: February 2015

The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model is frequently applied in plant breeding for studying the genotype × environment (G × E) interaction. One of the main difficulties related to this method of analysis is the incorporation of inference to the bilinear terms that compose the biplot representation. This study aimed to incorporate credible intervals for the genotypic and environmental scores in the AMMI model by using an informative prior for the genotype effect. This approach differs from the Bayesian methods that have been presented so far, which assume the same restrictions as the fixed effects model. The method was exemplified by using data from a study with 55 maize hybrids in nine different environments for which variable being studied was the yield of unhusked ears. Our results demonstrated that the credible intervals allowed for the identification of genotypes and environments that did not contribute to the G × E interaction. In addition, it facilitated recognition of homogeneous subgroups of genotypes and environments (with respect to the effect of the interaction) and the adaptability of genotypes to specific environments of great interest to breeders. The posterior distributions of singular vectors were bimodal but with the same density peaks in absolute value. This reflects the arbitrary choice of signs of the main component that was used in different mathematical algorithms. Although our data set was based on unrelated single cross hybrids, the choice of genotypes as random effects enabled the Bayesian AMMI to accommodate the additive and nonadditive relationship matrices. Additionally, the flexibility of the analysis facilitated working with unbalanced data and the incorporation of heterogeneity of variances.
Agronomic Impact of a Stem Solidness Gene in Near‐Isogenic Lines of Wheat

The primary trait in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to prevent damage caused by the wheat stem sawfly (WSS) (Cephus cinctus) is antibiosis facilitated by solid stems. The pith of solid stems impedes development of larvae, often resulting in their death inside the stem. A key question regarding solid stems is the possible impact on grain yield potential due to photosynthate partitioning to stem pith instead of to grain. Molecular markers for the major gene controlling stem solidness, Qss.msub‐3BL, were used to develop near‐isogenic lines (NIL) for alleles at Qss.msub‐3BL in six genetic backgrounds. The NIL were grown in replicated trials in 12 locations that varied for yield potential in Montana, Washington, and Idaho. There was no significant impact of the solid stem allele on grain yield based on mean performance over recurrent parents and locations. Individually, solid‐stemmed NIL were significantly lower yielding in one of six genetic backgrounds. Based on means over all crosses, the solid‐stemmed NIL had lower yield in only one high‐yielding environment. These results suggest that in general the allele for solid stems at Qss.msub‐3BL does not result in yield reduction. Development of solid‐stemmed cultivars with yield potential similar to the best hollow‐stemmed cultivars is a reasonable goal for wheat breeding programs in areas impacted by the WSS.
Secondary ledeburite formation during various welding techniques

Published: February 2015

The occurrence and formation sequence of secondary ledeburite in the heat
affected zone of chromium ledeburitic tool steel W.Nr. 1.2379 (OCR12 VM)
after welding with SAW, TIG, microplasma and laser welding techniques is
presented in this paper. Special attention was paid on the behaviour of
carbides. The occurrence of secondary ledeburite is a result of local
enrichment of the austenite matrix with alloying elements, due to partial or
complete dissolution of primary/eutectic carbides. The results show that the
largest amount of secondary ledeburite is formed during submerged arc
welding, followed by TIG and microplasma welding technique. Welding by laser
technique, with appropriate technological parameters, could prevent secondary
ledeburite formation.

Published: February 2015

OBJECTIVE To evaluate pharmacokinetics, recovery times, and recovery quality in horses anesthetized with 1.2 times the minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane or desflurane.

ANIMALS 6 healthy adult horses.

PROCEDURES Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane or desflurane for 2 hours at 1.2 times the minimum alveolar concentration. Horses recovered without assistance. During recovery, end-tidal gas samples were collected until horses spontaneously moved. Anesthetic concentrations were measured by use of gas chromatography. After a 1-week washout period, horses were anesthetized with the other inhalation agent. Video recordings of anesthetic recovery were evaluated for recovery quality on the basis of a visual analogue scale by investigators who were unaware of the anesthetic administered. Anesthetic washout curves were fit to a 2-compartment kinetic model with multivariate nonlinear regression. Normally distributed interval data were analyzed by means of paired Student t tests; ordinal or nonnormally distributed data were analyzed by means of Wilcoxon signed rank tests.

RESULTS Horses recovered from both anesthetics without major injuries. Results for subjective recovery evaluations did not differ between anesthetics. Area under the elimination curve was significantly smaller and time to standing recovery was significantly less for desflurane than for sevoflurane, although distribution and elimination constants did not differ significantly between anesthetics.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Differences in area under elimination the curve between anesthetics indicated more rapid clearance for desflurane than for sevoflurane in horses, as predicted by anesthetic blood solubility differences in this species. More rapid elimination kinetics was associated with faster recovery times, but no association with improved subjective recovery quality was detected.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) or vaccination with serologic response in calves.

ANIMALS 94 Holstein calves.

PROCEDURES To assess the association between BRD and antibody titers, 38 calves < 3 months old that were treated for BRD were matched with 38 untreated calves. To investigate the effect of vaccination on antibody titers, 24 calves were randomly assigned to be vaccinated against bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), bovine viral diarrhea virus types 1 and 2, bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV1), and parainfluenza virus type 3 at 2 weeks of age (n = 6), 5 weeks of age (6), and both 2 and 5 weeks of age (6) or were assigned to be unvaccinated controls (6). Blood samples were obtained at I, 2, 5, and 12 weeks for determination of serum neutralization antibody titers against the vaccine viruses, bovine coronavirus, and Mannheimia haemolytica. Antibody rates of decay were calculated.

RESULTS Calves with initial antibody titers against BRSV < 1:64 that were treated for BRD had a slower rate of anti-BRSV antibody decay than did similar calves that were not treated for BRD. Calves with high initial antibody titers against BRSV and BHV1 had lower odds of BRD than did calves with low initial antibody titers against those 2 pathogens. Vaccination at 2 or 5 weeks of age had no effect on the rate of antibody decay.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinical BRD and the serologic response of dairy calves were associated with initial antibody titers against BRSV and BHV1. Serologic or clinical responses to viral exposure may differ in calves with low passive immunity.
