ABSTRACT

Cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill.) can survive extreme environmental condition and is known for its fodder potential in many parts of the world. The morphological diversity of 15 introduced accessions was evaluated at Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, India. The plants were established in 2013. Survival and nutrient status were evaluated after two years. Above-ground plant height, biomass, primary and secondary cladode numbers, primary and secondary cladode lengths and below-ground root length, weight, and surface area measurements were done six years after cladode planting. Yellow San Cono, White Roccapalumba, and Seedless Roccapalumba survived 100%. The discriminant traits according to principal component analysis were: primary cladodes plant−1 (component loading, 0.87), primary cladodes biomass (0.95), secondary cladodes plant−1 (0.83), canopy width (0.84), and plant biomass (0.92). Hierarchical cluster analysis grouped 15 accessions into two main clusters based on 17 morphological traits. Cluster I showed favorable values for many above- and below-ground morphological traits while Cluster II showed higher performance for root system width, height, and biomass, and primary and secondary cladode numbers. The results indicate that cactus pear accessions have considerable morphological variability and genetic diversity suitable for promotion as alternative fodder resources in semi-arid regions of India.

印度半干旱地区仙人掌的生存、形态变异和性能

摘要

仙人掌梨 ( Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill.) 可以在极端环境条件下生存,并以其在世界许多地方的饲料潜力而闻名。在印度北方邦 Jhansi 评估了 15 个引进种质的形态多样性。这些植物于 2013 年建立。两年后评估了生存和营养状况。地上植物高度、生物量、初级和次级叶片数量、初级和次级叶片长度以及地下根长、重量和表面积测量是在叶片种植六年后进行的。黄色圣科诺、白色罗卡帕伦巴和无核罗卡帕伦巴 100% 存活。根据主成分分析的判别性状是:初级枝叶植物-1(组分负荷,0.87),初级枝叶生物量(0.95),次级枝叶植物-1(0.83),冠层宽度(0.84)和植物生物量(0.92)。层次聚类分析根据 17 个形态特征将 15 个种质分为两个主要聚类。集群 I 对许多地上和地下形态特征表现出有利的价值,而集群 II 在根系宽度、高度和生物量以及初级和次级枝叶数量方面表现出更高的性能。结果表明,仙人掌梨种质具有相当大的形态变异性和遗传多样性,适合作为印度半干旱地区的替代饲料资源推广。
