Abstract

Taeng-Thai is the Thai name for oriental pickling melon or muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) which is a Cucumis species. Based on consumption as Thai traditional dessert, fruit characters at ripening stage are very important to improve the muskmelon cultivar. Understanding the genetic control of fruit traits is the key to a successful for crop improvement. Research aimed to determine the genetic effects, number of genes and heritability of fruit characters in muskmelon. The results have shown that both additive and dominant effects governed for fruit weight, fruit length, fruit width and fruit thickness with the number of gene as 40.26, 1.55, 10.70 and 11.10 genes, respectively. Simple phenotypic correlation coefficients shown, had a significant positive correlation among the four fruit traits. Due to the quantitative inheritance of fruit characters, quantitative traits loci (QTL) mapping of those traits were necessary to identify all controlling genes of fruit traits in further muskmelon improvement.

Abstract

Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is one of the most serious diseases in rice production. Breeding varieties specifically for their resistance to BLB disease is therefore an efficient and cost-effective strategy. However, the resistance gene for BLB can be race and non-race specific, meaning it is often overcome by the pathogen. The identification of new sources of resistance genes for Xoo is crucial in rice breeding programmes. In this study, six rice varieties were assessed using six Xoo isolates in multiple screening conditions. The GGE biplot analysis considers both genotype (G) and genotype environment (GE) interaction effects and demonstrates GE interaction. The first two principal components (PCs) accounted for 95.46% of the total GE variation in the data. Based on lesion length and stability performance, Phaladum was the most ideal genotype against all Xoo isolates in the four screening conditions. The results relayed that Phaladum indigenous rice varieties could be considered as new sources of bacterial leaf blight resistance in Thailand. In the future, the BLB resistance gene in this variety will be identified in regard to mode of inheritance and used as parental line in rice breeding programmes for resistance to BLB.
