    Notes: Wild relatives are a potential source of genetic diversity to lentil (Lens culinaris Medik). The objective of this research was to obtain viable interspecific hybrids between the domesticated lentil and its wild relatives.The paper details the results of a number of interspecific crosses among L. culinaris, L. orientalis, L. odemensis, L. ervoides and L. nigricans. Viable hybrids were produced between L. culinaris × L. orientalis, L. culinaris × L. nigricans, L. culinaris × L. ervoides and between L. culinaris × L. odemensis. Further viable hybrids were obtained between L. culinaris and L. ervoides, which have the potential to be a ‘bridge’ in hybridization to L. culinaris for specific L. nicrigans lines which proved recalcitrant in L. culinaris × L. nigricans crosses. This is the first time that four wild species of lentils have been used successfully in hybridization with cultivated lentils, and viable hybrids produced. This paper also suggests that the artificial supplement of GA3, hormone is needed after fertilization for the normal growth of the hybrid embryo, possibly as the natural GA3 production is restricted with alien pollinations in cultivated lentils in both F1 and backcross hybrids.

    Notes: Ascochyta blight, caused by Ascochyta lentis, is one of the most globally important diseases of lentil. Breeding for host resistance has been suggested as an efficient means to control this disease. This paper summarizes existing studies of the characteristics and control of Ascochyta blight in lentil, genetics of resistance to Ascochyta blight and genetic variations among pathogen populations (isolates). Breeding methods for control of the disease are discussed. Six pathotypes of A. lentis have been reported. Many resistant cultivars/lines have been identified in both cultivated and wild lentil. Resistance to Ascochyta blight in lentil is mainly under the control of major genes, but minor genes also play a role. Current breeding programmes are based on crossing resistant and high-yielding cultivars and multilocation testing. Gene pyramiding, exploring slow blighting and partial resistance, and using genes present in wild relatives will be the methods used in the future. Identification of more sources of resistance genes, good characterization of the host-pathogen system, and identification of molecular markers tightly linked to resistance genes are suggested as the key areas for future study.

    Notes: Abstract As an initial step in establishing interspecific hybridization to broaden the genetic basis of lentils [Lens culinaris ssp.culinaris (Medikus) Williams], a set of experiments was carried out to produce an efficient in vitro protocol for propagation of lentil and two of its wild relatives (Lens ervoides andLens culinaris ssp.orientalis). The objective of the experiments was to optimize the media (Murashige and Skoog) to regenerate shootsin vitro from nodal segments without a callogenic phase. The number of shoots per explant, the number of nodes per shoot and shoot length showed that species differences, gibberellic acid and benzyladenine levels had the largest effects, with only minor interaction effects. The experiments therefore identified a standard protocol which gave the optimum levels of growth regulators, Murashige and Skoog (MS) salts and sucrose concentrations for maximum plant regeneration from the nodal segment of these species. The medium recommended for optimal shoot regeneration without a callogenic stage contained 2.89 μM GA3 in combination with 1.11 μM BA in MS medium lacking sucrose. The optimal medium for root induction on these shoots had the MS medium supplemented with 5.37 μM NAA. Final successful establishment of regenerated plants was completed by the transfer to a third medium containing half-strength MS salts.

    Description: Tristetraprolin (TTP) is an inducible, tandem zinc-finger mRNA binding protein that binds to adenylate-uridylate–rich elements (AREs) in the 3′-untranslated regions (3′UTRs) of specific mRNAs, such as that encoding TNF, and increases their rates of deadenylation and turnover. Stabilization of Tnf mRNA and other cytokine transcripts in TTP-deficient mice results in...

    Description: SUMMARYThe lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) cultivars Titore and Olympic were sown at Canterbury, New Zealand, on eight dates, from April to November in 1984 and in May and August in 1985. Of the four important physiological growth stages (sowing to emergence (S–E), emergence to flowering (E–F), flowering to physiological maturity (F–Pm) and physiological maturity to harvest (Pm–H)), the duration of all except E–F depended upon accumulated thermal time above 2 °C. The mean accumulated thermal times for E–F, F–Pm, Pm–H were 116, 565 and 293 °C days, respectively. Stage E–F required from 1165 °C days for an April sowing to 509 °C days for a November sowing. There was a highly significant positive relationship (r2 = 0·99) between the rate of development during E–F and mean temperature. Photoperiod also affected development rate.Neither of the two cultivars studied had a vernalization requirement for the induction of flowering. In both years, the development rate during E–F was highly dependent upon photoperiod-corrected temperature. The relationships presented show that development of lentil crops in Canterbury can be accurately predicted using accumulated temperature and photoperiod-corrected temperature.

    Description: SUMMARYLentils were grown in 1984/85, 1985/86 and 1988/89 in Canterbury, New Zealand. Results showed that lentil canopies were capable of intercepting a maximum of 95% of incident solar radiation at a leaf area index of 7. Autumn sowings attained canopy closure, but late spring sowings did not. At the highest population density used (500 plants/m2), only 65% of incident solar radiation was intercepted by a late spring-sown crop. In all three growing seasons there was a highly significant positive relationship between cumulative absorbed radiation and dry matter (DM) production. Over all seasons, 1·6 g DM/m2 was produced per MJ of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). The final utilization coefficient (u) was not affected by sowing date but in a late-sown, diseased crop, u was 38% less than in a disease free crop. In 1984/85, dryland crops had a utilization coefficient of 1·39 while irrigated crops had a u of 1·54. Growth efficiency of lentils was low, at 2·5%.

    Description: The canopy development, radiation absorption and its utilization for biomass production in response to irrigation at different growth stages of three Kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars was studied on a Wakanui silt loam soil in Canterbury, New Zealand (43°38S, 172°30E). The study also aimed at quantifying the yield potential of the crop under varying irrigation regimes and sowing dates. Green area duration (GAD), intercepted radiation (Fi), radiation use efficiency (U) and total intercepted PAR were significantly (P4·7 t/ha), and there was no indication of a critical period of sensitivity to water stress. Based on results collected in the first growing season a simple model relating seed yield to radiation interception, U and HI was made. Results from the second growing season were then used as a simple verification to test the accuracy of predictions. The results suggest that these varieties have the potential to yield more than 4·5 t/ha of seed in Canterbury.

    Description: SummaryThe growth and yield of four crops of field bean cv. Maris Bead in response to irrigation and sowing date were analysed in relation to leaf area expansion and senescence and their absorption and utilization of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Total dry matter (D.M.) production and seed yield were strongly correlated with total green area duration (GAD) and post-flowering GAD respectively.Total D.M. production was also strongly related to radiation absorbed by the green surfaces of the crop although autumn sowing and drought both decreased the constant of proportionality, i.e. the growth efficiency (Eg). Autumn sowings yielded more than spring sowings because they grew for longer and received 22% more radiation. Their harvest index was also about 40% higher than in spring sowings. These more than compensated for their smaller Eg. Drought decreased yield mainly by decreasing radiation received and Eg. Growth duration was shorter and harvest index was smaller.The rate of phenological development was strongly dependent upon temperature and to a lesser extent on photoperiod. The average thermal duration from emergence to flowering was 790 °Cd above a base of 0 °C. The time from sowing to the end of the pod growth was well represented by a simple multiplicative model in which development rate was a linear function of temperature above a base of 0 °C and photoperiod above a base of 6 h. The average photothermal duration required for 10 crops was 980 °Cd.An attempt was also made to determine the crop physiological and environmental factors which govern the change in size of the yield components of field bean crops caused by irrigation and sowing date. The final number of pods per plant was closely correlated with the rate of supply of assimilates during pod filling. Irrigation increased assimilate flux by increasing leaf area, growth rate and total dry matter during pod growth. Both the rate and duration of pod growth were little affected by irrigation. Autumn sowings produced heavier pods and beans due to both a faster rate and a longer duration of growth which were associated with a greater production of assimilate during the seed growth period. Seed growth depends on both the current assimilate and stored reserves, the latter especially when plants were subjected to environmental stress.

    Description: summaryThe response of 4 crops of autumn- and spring-sown field beans cv. Maris Bead to irrigation applied during the vegetative, flowering and pod-filling phases was examined during 1981–2 and 1982–3. The crops, grown on a Templeton silt-loam, were irrigated weekly in amounts equal to the difference between the estimated evapotranspiration and rainfall of the previous week using trickle irrigation.Seed yield of fully irrigated autumn- and spring-sown crops (averaged over the two seasons), was 5·2 and 3·3 t/ha respectively, about 45% greater than the yield of unirrigated crops. The increase in yield due to irrigation was mainly associated with an increase in total dry matter (TDM) production as harvest index varied little within each sowing. The yield response to each mm of applied irrigation water ranged from 0 to 9 kg/ha and did not appear to be related in any way to the developmental phase of the crop when irrigation was applied.Seed yield within each sowing was closely correlated with the number of beans per unit area and the number of pods per plant. Autumn sowings yielded about 55% more than spring sowings mainly due to a higher harvest index which was associated with a much heavier mean weight per bean.
