Abstract
The micromorphological characteristics of the leaf surface of F1–F4 hybrids derived from crosses (stable form × Trititrigia cziczinii × ‘Botanicheskaya 3’) on Elymus farctus (Viv.) Runemark ex Melderis were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is demonstrated that the leaf structure of F1 plants contains micromorphological markers common to both parental forms and traits peculiar to one of the parents. Among those specific to the paternal form (E. farctus) are the Ω-shaped anticlinal walls of long epidermal cells, rounded silica cells, shield-shaped prickle hairs with a shortened barb on both leaf surfaces, and apically directed prickles on the adaxial costal zone. The presence of trichomes in the intercostal zone of the leaf adaxial side and macrohairs on the veins is likely to have been inherited from the maternal form and may be traced back to cultivar ‘Botanicheskaya 3’ and E. intermedia. The average cell width of cell rows in hybrids corresponded to the values of wild species E. farctus. Moreover, the hybrids exhibited smaller and more frequent stomata than both parental forms, as well as E. farctus. Concurrently, while the characteristics of the wild species E. farctus were dominant in the initial generation, those of the cultivated form (× Trititrigia × ‘Botanicheskaya 3’) were evident in the fourth generation. This was evidenced by the emergence of silica cells analogous to those observed in the maternal form, as well as the appearance of hybrid samples that exhibited spikelet shape, stomatal frequency, and cell row width characteristics similar to those of the cultivated maternal plant. These changes are likely the result of the loss of genetic material from the wild paternal species, E. farctus.
期刊介绍:
Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution is devoted to all aspects of plant genetic resources research. It publishes original articles in the fields of taxonomical, morphological, physiological, biochemical, genetical, cytological or ethnobotanical research of genetic resources and includes contributions to gene-bank management in a broad sense, that means to collecting, maintenance, evaluation, storage and documentation.
Areas of particular interest include:
-crop evolution
-domestication
-crop-weed relationships
-related wild species
-history of cultivated plants including palaeoethnobotany.
Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution also publishes short communications, e.g. newly described crop taxa, nomenclatural notes, reports of collecting missions, evaluation results of gene-bank material etc. as well as book reviews of important publications in the field of genetic resources.
Every volume will contain some review articles on actual problems. The journal is the internationalized continuation of the German periodical Die Kulturpflanze, published formerly by the Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research at Gatersleben, Germany.
All contributions are in the English language and are subject to peer reviewing.
