ORIGINAL PAPERQTL analysis of soybean seed weight across multi-genetic backgrounds and environmentsYingpeng Han•Dongmei Li•Dan Zhu•Haiyan Li•Xiuping Li•Weili Teng•Wenbin LiReceived:27December2011/Accepted:21March2012ÓSpringer-Verlag2012Abstract Seed weight,measured as mass per seed,is an important yield component of soybean and is generally positively correlated with seed yield(Burton et al,Crop Sci 27:1093,1987).In previous reports,quantitative trait loci (QTL)associated with seed weight,were identified in single genetic background.The objective of the present study was to identify QTL and epistatic QTL underlying soybean seed weight in three RIL populations(with one common male parent‘Hefeng25’)and across three differ-ent environments.Overall,18,11,and17seed weight QTL were identified in HC(‘Hefeng25’9‘Conrad’),HM (‘Hefeng25’9‘Maple Arrow’),and HB(‘Hefeng25’9‘Bayfield’)populations,respectively.The amount of phe-notypic variation explained by a single QTL underlying seed weight was usually less than10%.The environment and background-independent QTL often had higher addi-tive(a)effects.In contrast,the environment or back-ground-dependent QTL were probably due to weak expression of QTL.QTL by environment interaction effects were in the opposite direction of a effects and/or epistasis effects.Four QTL and one QTL could be identi-fied(2.0\LOD\9.06)in the HC and HB populations,respectively,across three environments(swHCA2-1, swHCC2-1,swHCD1b-1,swHCA2-2(linked to Satt233, Satt424,Satt460,Satt428,respectively)and swHBA1-1(Satt449).Seven QTL could be identified in all three RIL populations in at least one location.Two QTL could be identified in the three RIL populations across three envi-ronments.These two QTL may have greater potential for use in marker-assisted selection of seed weight in soybean. IntroductionSeed weight,measured as mass per seed,is an important yield component of soybean and was generally positively correlated with seed yield(Burton et al.1987).Seed weight is a quantitative trait,which is mainly inherited with the additive effect(Brim and Cockerham1961).Most of the breeding strategies for developing soybean cultivars take advantage of additive gene actions(Hartwig1973;Fehr 1987;Cooper1990).However,traditional plant improve-ment has relied on phenotypic selection of populations from crosses between commercial cultivars and/or experimental lines(Stuber et al.1992;Specht et al.1999;Stefaniak et al. 2005).The development of consensus molecular maps in soy-bean(Song et al.2004;Choi et al.2007;Hyten et al.2010; Song et al.2010)has facilitated the identification of common quantitative trait loci(QTL)controlling important quantitative traits in many soybean populations(Hyten et al.2004).Through molecular genetic linkage maps and QTL analysis,it is possible to estimate the number of QTL controlling genetic variation.Statistical analyses,such as ANOVA and interval mapping,can estimate the gene actions and phenotypic effects(Lander et al.1987;Basten et al.1996).Combined analyses allowed pleiotropicand/or Communicated by H.T.Nguyen.Y.HanÁD.LiÁD.ZhuÁH.LiÁX.LiÁW.TengÁW.LiKey Laboratory of Soybean Biology in Chinese Ministryof Education,(Key Laboratory of Biology and Genetics&Breeding for Soybean in Northeast China,Ministry ofAgriculture),Northeast Agricultural University,Harbin150030,ChinaW.Li(&)Soybean Research Institute(Key Laboratory of Soybean Biologyin Chinese Ministry of Education),Northeast AgriculturalUniversity,Harbin150030,Chinae-mail:wenbinli@123 Theor Appl GenetDOI10.1007/s00122-012-1859-xepistatic interactions to be estimated(Lark et al.1995;Yan 2001).Through selection with molecular markers,the results of QTL analyses can be used in soybean breeding, referred as marker-assisted selection(MAS).A common approach in MAS is to map QTL in a small sample of progeny from a cross,choose a marker linked to the tar-geted QTL,and apply MAS in a larger set of progeny from the same cross(Prabhu et al.1999;Ken et al.2005).This has been done for many traits,including agronomic traits in barley(Zhu et al.1999),disease resistance in soybean (Prabhu et al.1999),and for blight resistance in chickpea (Millan et al.2003)and rice(Davierwala et al.2001). However,many studies have shown that the effects of QTL underlying agronomic traits are not always detected in other genetic backgrounds for soybean(Specht et al.1999; Hyten et al.2004)and many other crops(McKendry et al. 1996;Toojinda et al.1998;Ken et al.2005).This phe-nomenon is a major obstacle to the efficient use of MAS in plant breeding.In the past two decades,many studies have focused on mapping of QTL influencing soybean seed weight [reviewed by Hyten et al.(2004)].In most of these reports, the phenotypic values of traits in single genetic background were used for QTL analysis.Few of these studies have used common parents among their multiple genetic backgrounds (Orf et al.1999;Hyten et al.2004),which is a very important factor influencing quantitative traits like yield components(Specht et al.1999;Liao et al.2001;Hyten et al.2004;Zhang et al.2004).Many results indicated that yield of soybean is controlled by a series of QTL with different expression in different genetic populations or environments. Though genetic background effects on quantitative traits have been well documented in many crops including tomato (Tanksley and Hewitt1988),rice(Li et al.1997,1998),soy-bean(Lark et al.1995;Orf et al.1999),and maize(Doebley et al.1995),the QTL associated with seed weight had been less frequently reported in multi-genetic background by2011 (Orf et al.1999;Hyten et al.2004).The objective of this study was to identify stable QTL and epistatic QTL effects for seed weight of soybean in different genetic backgrounds and environments,using three popula-tions with one common male parent,‘Hefeng25’,to compare the number and location of QTL and epistatic QTL mapped across different populations and environments,and to deter-mine QTL9environment interactions.Materials and methodsPlant materials‘Hefeng25’9‘Conrad’(HC,140RILs of F4:5),‘Hefeng 25’9‘Maple Arrow’(HM,149RILs of F5:6),and‘Hefeng 25’9‘Bayfield’(HB,144RILs of F5:6)were used to evaluate seed weight across multiple environments.‘Hef-eng25’,a local variety in Northeastern China,was selected as the common parent of the three soybean populations due to higher seed weight and other good agronomic traits.The RILs and their parents were grown in a randomized com-plete block design at Harbin in three locations during2007, 2008,and2009in four row plots.The rows were3m long, 90cm apart,and there was a space of about6cm between two plants in a row.In each plot,20plants from one genotype were grown as seed donors that were later used to analyze seed weight after maturity.Seeds were dried for 30min in oven at105°C and then continuously dried at 50–70°C until the seed weight was stable.All dried samples were weighed.Genetic linkage mapThe genetic map of the HC RIL population constructed with164SSR markers encompassed12linkage groups (LGs)(Li et al.2010a).The HC map covered about 3160.28cM of the soybean genome with a mean distance of19.27cM between markers.The HM RIL population map is composed of19LGs constructed with109SSRs with a mean distance of16.96cM between markers(Li et al.2009).The HB RIL population map included107 SSRs in20LGs with a mean distance of14.21cM between markers(Li et al.2010b).Data analysisQTL were identified by single-factor analysis of variance (PROC.GLM.SAS),interval mapping(Lander et al.1987) and composite interval mapping(Basten et al.1996)as described by Primomo et al.(2005).Significant QTL (LOD[2.0)were recorded based on the mean value of individual environment.For interactions locus main effects were considered for linear models if they were significant at P B0.01.Signif-icant loci on the same LG were tested by two-factor analysis of variance without interactions.If both loci were significant at P B0.05in the two-factor model,they would both be considered for linear models.Otherwise,the locus with the larger individual R2value was chosen to represent the effect of the putative QTL on the LG.Two-way analysis of variance was also used to detect significant(P\0.01)epistatic interactions between markers.The nomenclature of QTL included four parts. For example,QTL swHCA1-1is composed of sw(seed weight),HC(the RIL population),A1(the linkage group), and one(thefirst QTL in the LG).GT(Genotype by Trait)biplot methodology(Yan2001) was employed to analyze the interactions between QTLTheor Appl Genet123and different environments in the HC,HM,and HB popula-tions,based on the formula:T ij-T j/S j=k1f i1s j1?k2f i2s-j2?e ij,where T ij is the average value of QTL i for environment j;T j is the average value of environment j over all QTL of single population,S j is the standard deviation of environment j among the QTL average;f i1and f i2are the PC1(first principle component)and PC2(second principle component)scores,respectively.For QTL i;s j1and s j2are the PC1and PC2scores,respectively,for environment j;and e ij is the residual of the model associated with the QTL i in environment j.ResultsPhenotypic variationPhenotypic values of100-seed weight among different populations across three environments are shown in Table1.The differences between the two parents were significant in the three different populations across three environments.The seed weight for‘Hefeng25’was2–5g higher than those of‘Conrad’,‘Maple Arrow’and‘Bay-field’.In contrast,100-seed weight variations among the RIL populations were not significantly different.Both skewness and kurtosis values of100-seed weight distribu-tions were less than1.0for the three RIL populations in most environments,suggesting that the segregations of this traitfit a normal distribution model.Analysis of QTL in different environments and genetic backgroundsEighteen,11,and17QTL were found to be associated with seed weight in HC,HM,and HB populations,respectively (Table2).The QTL in HC,HM,and HB populations could explain3.86–31.09,5.75–23.89,and3.23–32.76%of the phenotypic variations at Harbin in3years,respectively.QTL swHCB1-1(Sat_123),swHMK-1(Satt555),and swHBD1a-1 (Satt168)explained the largest amount of phenotypic varia-tion(31.09,23.89,and32.76%).Four QTL swHCA2-1; swHCC2-1;swHCD1b-1;swHCA2-2(linked to Satt233, Satt424,Satt460,Satt428,respectively)in the HC population, and one QTL swHBA1-1(Satt449)in the HB population could be identified in all three environments.In the present work,eight QTL that derived beneficial alleles from‘Hefeng25’,could be detected in three different populations[Satt233located in LG A2(Chromosome(Gm) 8),Satt460in LG C2(Gm6),Satt428in LG D1b(Gm2), Satt302in LG H(Gm12),Satt354in LG I(Gm20),Satt555in LG K(Gm9),Satt527in LG L(Gm19),and Satt153in LG O (Gm10)].Six QTL of Conrad origin associated with Sat_181in LG A2(Gm8),Sat_123in LG B1(Gm11),Satt489in LG C2(Gm6),Satt277in LG C2(Gm6),Satt301in LG D2 (Gm17),and Satt380in LG J(Gm16).One QTL(Satt150in LG M,Gm7)from‘Maple Arrow’was detected,andfive QTL from‘Bayfield’[Satt449in LG A1(Gm 5),Satt596in LG B2(Gm14),Satt190in LG C1(Gm4),Satt277 in LG C2(Gm6),and Satt168in LG D1a(Gm1)]were found.

swHBB2-1)originating from HB pop-ulation,contributed the allele that decreased seed weight through significant a effects,respectively.The impact of ae effects on QTL was different at dif-ferent years for these three populations.For example,QTL swHCA2-1of HC population,increased seed weight at Harbin in 2007and 2009,but decreased seed weight at Harbin in 2008.Six QTL

pop-ulation,had only significant ae effects,but no significant a effects.Other QTL in these three populations had both significant a effects and significant ae effects.Epistatic analysis of QTL across multi-environments Forty,16.and 20epistatic pairwise QTL were detected in HC,HM,and HB population in different environments,respectively (Table 4).Of them,18,5and 5epistatic pairs of QTL,derived from HC,HM and HB populations,were beneficial for the increase of seed weight through signifi-cant aa effects.Seven,five and four epistatic pairs of QTL trended to decrease seed weight through significant aa effects in HC,HM,and HB population,respectively (Table 4).The epistasis 9environment interaction effect (aae )was an important component of the total QTL 9environ-ment (QE)interaction effects.Six,four,and five pairs of QTL were found with only epistatic effects (aa )in HC,HM,and HB populations,respectively.Fifteen,five,and eleven pairs had only aae effects in HC,HM,and HB populations,and other pairs of epistatic QTL had both aa and aae effects (Table 4).Stability evaluation of QTL derived from ‘Hefeng 25’In this study,additive effects of eight QTL,linked to

population,0.69in the HM population,and0.79in the HB population,respectively (Table3).The impact of different environments on ae effect of QTL was higher than that of different populations.In the present study,both the aa and aae effects of the QTL derived from‘Hefeng25’were identified in the3or2 of the three populations,and the number of QTL epistatic with other QTL was different across different populations (Table4).For example,six,three,and three epistatic pairwise QTL interacting with the QTL linked to Satt233 was found in HC,HM,and HB populations,respectively. The aa and aae effect of the epistatis QTL were0.23–0.45, 0.16–0.87,0.25–1.07,and0.17–0.45,0.17–0.37,0.19–0.89, respectively.GT biplot analysis(Yan2001)showed the13QTL with beneficial alleles from‘Hefeng25’detected in three or two populations explained73%of the total variation.Figure1 indicated that two QTL(Satt428and Satt460)had highest performance and stability across multiple environments and populations.The QTL linked to Satt555,Satt424, Satt382,Satt354,and Satt183also had above-average performance and stability across multiple environments and populations.The QTL linked to Satt383,Satt583, Satt233,Satt263,Satt302,and Satt527had the lowest-average performance and stability across multi-environments and multi-populations.Furthermore,the performance of different QTL on each environment or population was evaluated.With the QTL linked to Satt460,Satt555,Satt383, Satt263,Satt527,and Satt153as the corner QTL,three environments and two populations(HC and HM)fell in the sector in which two QTL(linked to Satt460and Satt428) were the strongest for these three environments and two populations,respectively(Fig.2).Two QTL(linked to Satt383and Satt555)were the strongest for the HB population.DiscussionRapid advances in genomics have identified and analyzed about36,000genes in soybean(Schmutz et al.2010; Severin et al.2010).However,the usefulness of genomics data for crop breeding and improvement was dependent upon the identification of candidate gene markers for MAS via map-based cloning or association analyses(Varshney et al.2005;Lightfoot2008;Guttierez-Gonzalez et al. 2010).Seed weight is an important yield component of soybean(Burton et al.1987).Hence,there was interest in understanding the genetic control of seed weight in soy-bean,especially the beneficial alleles from‘Hefeng25’,a superior cultivar in Heilongjiang Province of China. Because seed weight of soybean was affected by environ-ments and genetic backgrounds,increasing the genotype selection intensity by MAS could improve the selection efficiency.To be useful to a breeding program,QTL need to be stable across environments and genetic backgrounds (Brummer et al.1997).Stability can be assessed by eval-uating many populations across several environments to determine if a particular QTL is detected in each popula-tion or environment.In this study,three sets of RIL pop-ulations with one common male parent(‘Hefeng25’)were analyzed for QTL that associated with seed weight across multi-environments.A total of18,11,and17QTL were identified in HC,HM,and HB populations,respectively. An individual QTL explained phenotypic variations ranged from3to28%for seed weight in different environments and populations.However,most loci explained less than 10%of the variation(Table2).The low level of pheno-typic variation explained by these QTL indicated the quantitative nature of seed weight,which was similar to the findings of other studies(Mansur et al.1996;Mian et al. 1996;Hyten et al.2004;Zhang et al.2004).QTL specific to one environment were also reported by other studies for different traits(Price et al.2002;Li et al.2003).Many instable QTL detected in different environments or genetic backgrounds were detected(Table2)in this study,which was due to weak expression of the QTL,QTL by envi-ronment interaction in the opposite direction to a effects and/or epistasis(Table3,4).For example,swHCE-1and swHCA2-2were subject to these effects.Therefore,the information of QTL by environment interaction should be considered if MAS was to be applied to the manipulation of quantitative traits.Four QTL swHCA2-1,swHCA2-2,swHCC2-1,and swHCD1b-1linked to Satt233,Satt424,Satt460,and Satt428,respectively,in the HC population across all three environments.The QTL swHCA2-1was reported previ-ously in V71-3709PI407162,Noir19Archer(Hyten et al.2004).The QTL swHCA2-1was reported previously in Minsoy9Noir1(Hyten et al.2004).The QTL swHCC2-1was also reported previously in Young9 PI416937;Noir19Archer;and Essex9Williams (Hyten et al.2004).The QTL swHCD1b-1was also reported previously in Essex9Williams(Hyten et al. 2004).The sole QTL swHBA1-1(linked to Satt449)in the HB population that could be found in all three environments was reported previously in Noir19Archer(Hyten et al. 2004).Therefore,all the QTL stable across environments have been confirmed,which adds to their usefulness in MAS even across multi-environments.Seven QTL(Satt460,Satt428,Satt302,Satt354,Satt555, Satt527,Satt153)could be detected in all three populations in some environments.These QTL might be useful for MAS in a particular location.Theor Appl Genet123T a b l e 4Q T L e p i s t a t i c e f f e c t s a s s o c i a t e d w i t h s e e d w e i g h t (100-s e e d

PART I DICTATIONNew Year’s EveFor many people in the west, New Year’s Eve is the biggest party of the year./ It’s time to get together with friends or family/ and welcome in the coming year./ New Year’s parties can take place in different places./ Some people hold a house party;/ others attend street parties,/ while some just go for a few drinks with their friends./ Big cities have large and spectacular fireworks displays./ There is one thing that all New Year’s Eve parties have in common--- the countdown to midnight./ When the clock strikes 12, people give a loud cheer and sing songs./ It’s also popular to make a promise in the New Year./ This is called a New Year’s resolution./ Typical resolutions include giving up smoking and keeping fit./ However, the promise is often broken quite quickly/ and people are back into their bad habits within weeks or days.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSIONSETION A CONVERSATIONSConversation OneW: Hi, Mark. How are you?M: Actually, I am really fed up, Linda. It’s Jane (Q1).W: Jane? Who’s Jane?M: No, nobody really. Just a most stunningly attractive girl in my year school (Q1).W: Oh, is that all? So, what’s the problem?M: Well, the thing is I just don’t know how to make her notice me or….W: Wait a minute. I’ve got a brilliant idea. Why don’t you try talking to her?M: But I wouldn’t know what to say. I …W: Look, she is in your chemistry class, isn’t she? You are good at chemistry. You could offer to help her with her chemistry homework. How about that?M: Not that. Just one problem (Q3).W: What?M: She is better than me at chemistry.W: OK, then. W ell, there’s that party at John’s on Friday night. You could invite her.M: Just another small problem (Q3). John’s her boyfriend (Q2).Conversation TwoW: Yes. Can I help you?M: Yes. You see, I’ve bought this personal stereo at your shop three days ago. And I’m afraid it hasn’t really matche d up to what I was told about.W: I see. What exactly is the matter?M: Well, first of all, there’s this large scratch across the fron t of it (Q6).W: But you should have noticed that when you bought it (Q4).M: But it was in the box and all sealed up.W: Well, I’m sorry. But it really is your responsibility to check the goods when you buy them (Q4). How are we to know that it wasn’t y ou who made the scratch?M: But t hat’s ridiculous. But anyway, it’s not the most important thing. I really am not happy about this other thing (Q6).W: And what is that?M: Look, it says here that the noise from it should undetectable by other people.W: Y es, that’s right.M: But people can hear it, a nd it’s really embarrassing on the bus and the underground.W: Well, I’m sorry, but it must be the way you are wearing the headphones.M: Look, I know how to put earphones in my ears. Thank you very much (Q5). But what I want to know is what you are going to do about it at all.W: Well, I suppose we could exchange it for another model, if you really aren’t happy with it.M: No, I certainly am not.W: Well, if I could just have the receipt (Q7).M: Oh yes.

What sort of things would you like?M: Just a light lunch, I think, so that people can eat while they move around and talk to each other. You did something similar for us last year. We’d be happy to have the same menu again (Q10). W: Right. I’ll look at my diary and see what you had last time. Oh, I nearly forgot to ask you. How many should I cater for?M: Well, I think most people will be able to come, perhaps around 30. No, let’s say 35 to be sure. W: Right. Thank you for getting in touch, Mr. Smith. I’ll send you confirmation of the arrangements by the end of this week.M: OK.Section B P ASSAGESPassage AFor shopaholics, the post-Christmas period means only one thing —sales! Across the country, prices are slashed on clothing, electronics, home furnishings and more. But London is the place for serious shopping, and you can certainly pick up some amazing bargains (Q11). The sales start on Boxing Day — 26th December, and continue for the month of January, but the keenest bargain hunters get there early to be first through the doors. In Oxford Street, queues formed outside shops ahead of predawn openings for the start of the sales. At Brent Cross in north London, more than 1,000 people were queuing at 3:30 a.m. for the “n ext” clothing store’s sale which began at 4 a.m. Some people even camped outside the shops to be the first in line (Q12). Some people are taking their friends shopping with them and buying their Christmas presents in the sales (Q13A)— a practical but an unromantic way of making sure you get the gift you really want. For a less exciting but less stressful shopping experience, online retailers are also getting in on the actwith January sales of their own (Q13B). The most organized of all are those who are already doing their present shopping for next Christmas (Q13C), in the January sales!Passage BBallroom dancing used to be seen as something rather unfashionable that old people might do (Q14). For the past five years though, the popularity of ballroom dancing has soared thanks to a reality TV show (Q15). “Strictly Come Dancing” is one of the big TV shows. Millions of people tune in every Saturday night to watch the show, which airs from September right up to Christmas (Q16D). In the show, a number of professional ballroom dancers each dance with a celebrity (Q16B). Every week they have to learn a different ballroom dance and perform it live on TV on Saturday night (Q16C). The show demonstrates how glamorous ballroom dancing is. The celebrities get to wear colourful dresses and suits to dance in (Q16A), and it looks like a lot of fun. The TV programme also shows what good exercise it can be to ballroom dance and what hard work is involved in learning the dances and performing them properly.Dance schools around the country have seen a boost in the number of people wanting to learn how to da nce. And it’s not only old people who’re intereste d. Lots of children and young people in their twenties are keen to learn (Q17).Passage CRecently a couple in New Zealand were forbidden from naming their baby son 4Real. Even though New Zealand has quite liberal rules about naming children, names beginning with a number are not allowed (Q18). They decided to call him Superman instead.In many countries around the world, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, especially since the increasing trend for celebrities to give their children unusual names. Some parents choose names which come from popular culture (Q19). For example, there have been six boys named Gandalf after the character in the Lord of the Rings novels and films. Equally, names related to sports are fairly common (Q19). Since 1984, 36 children have been called Arsenal after the football team. Other parents like to make up names or combine names to make their own unique version (Q19), a method demonstrated by Jordan, the British model, who recently invented the name Theaamy for her daughter by combining the names Thea and Amy (the two grandmothers). She was quoted as saying that the accent and double letters were added to make the name “more exotic”.Other countries have much stricter rules when it comes to naming children. Countries including Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have an approved list of names from which parents must choose (Q20).Section C NEWS BROADCASTNews Item 1 (For Questions 21 to 23)11 fishing boat crew who had been stranded since October in a r emote part of Russia’s Far East have been rescued after sheltering nearly three months at an abandoned military base. The eight men and three women took refuge at the base after their small boats collided on Oct. 10 (Q21). Their attempts to fix one of the boats did not succeed and they had to remain at the abandoned base where there were only flour and cooking fat (Q22). Other supplies at the base, which was abandoned in 2003, included Christmas ornaments, and the crew members put them upon a small tree inside their quarters. But supplies began running low and early this week, five set off on foot across snow fields. On Friday, after four days of trudging, they reached a working military radio station. The center called rescuers, and helicopters were sent to take the 11 to the regional capital (Q23).News Item 2 (For Questions 24 and 25)Spain’s King Juan Carlos, with 32 years on the throne (Q24), turns 70 Saturday. But after years of undeniable adulation among Spaniards for putting down an attempted coup i n 1981, he’s recently faced more difficult times. Small groups of leftists have burned his photo, and fiery criticism has also come from the right with one leading conservative radio host calling for him to step down. Juan Carlos fired back with a rare pub lic defense of his reign in a recent speech. “It’s been the longest period of stability and prosperity in Spain ever in a parliamentary monarchy,” the king said (Q25).News Item 3 (For Questions 26 and 27)It goes against religious taboos in Iraq to involve women in fighting, but three recent suicide bombings carried out by women could indicate insurgents are growing increasingly desperate. On Nov. 4 (Q26), a woman detonated an explosives vest next to a US patrol in Diyala’s regional capital, Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, wounding seven US troops and five Iraqis (Q27). On Dec. 7 (Q26), a woman attacked the offices of a Diyala-based Sunni group fighting al-Qaida in Iraq, killing 15 people and wounding 35 (Q27). Then, on Dec. 31 (Q26), a bomber in Baqouba detonated her suicide vest close to a police patrol, wounding five policemen and four civilians (Q27).News Item 4 (For Questions 28 to 30)Chinese government is poised to conduct its first national survey of pollution sources in February to help control environmental deterioration in the country (Q28). The study will identify and collect data on sources of industrial, agricultural and residential pollution for two months. Last year, China’s environment was facing a grave situation, with several maj or rivers and lakes clogged by industrial waste. China’s environmental cleanup is compromised by more than two decades of rapid economic growth, and a lack of technology especially (Q29). Every province, autonomous region and municipality has set up a census office and will report to a main center staffed by officials from government departments (Q30). Data will be reviewed multiple times before being put into a database and will be analyzed in the second half of 2008. Findings will be examined and approved by mid-2009.。

Doch sind die Ansprüche von Land zu Land durchaus unterschiedlich. Wie die Gesellschaft für Unterhaltungs- und Kommunikationselektronik meldet, sind sich die Europäer lediglich darin einig, dass der Preis für die gebotene Leistung des Apparat stimmen muss. Europäer legen mit 50% den größten Wert auf den Preis eines fernsehgeräts. Beim Design sieht es anders aus. Für 44% der Einfache Bedienung des Geräts: Während Österreicher (34%) und Deutsche (32%) gerade hierauf achten, interessieren das Engländer (13%) und Italiener (11%) recht wenig. Dagegen wünschen sich die Engländer hohe Zuverlässigkeit (46%). Auch der gute Name eines Fernsehapparats ist den Engländern mit 25% wichtig, wogegen die Deutschen nur mäßig (12%), Holländer und Schweden mit 3 bzw. 2 Prozent fast gar nicht interessiert.

Dieser Ring hatte eine Eingenschaft: Wer ihn trug, wurde von Gott und allen Menschen ohne Ausnahme geliebt. Deshalb nahm der König ihn nie von seiner Hand.Eingentlich wurde der Ring immer vom Vatter an den Lieblingssohn weitgegeben. Der König jedoch hatte drei Söhne, die er alle gleich liebte. Er konnte sich nicht entscheiden, welchem Sohn er den Ring geben sollte. Also ließ er heimlich noch zwei gleiche Ringe machen und schenkte jedem Sohn einen. Als der König stab, kam es zum Streit zwischen den Söhnen. Jeder galubte, den echten Ring zu Richter, einem weisen Mann, und erzählten ihm die Geschichte.Der Richter konnte das Rätsel auch nicht lösen und wollte sie schon wegschicken. Plötzlich erinnerte er sich daran, dass der richtige Ring seinen Besitzer bei allen beliebt machen sollte. Er fragte die Söhne: …Welchen Bruder haben zwei von euch am liebsten?“ Als sie nicht gleich antworteten, sprach er: …Was, ihr sagt nichts? Die Ringe wirken nicht? Jeder von euch liebt sich selbst also an meisten. Dann sind viellecht alle drei Ringe falsch. Keiner von ihnen besitzt die Macht,sich bei allen Menschen beliebt zu machen. Vermutlich hat euer Vater den Ring verloren und drei neue machen lassen.“Der weise Richter gab ihnen den Rat, so zu leben, als hätte jeder von ihnen den echten Ring. Nur auf diese Weise würde es ihnen gelingen, die Macht des Ringes zu wecken. Markieren Sie bitte die richtigen Lösungen auf dem Antwortbogen!( a=richtig, b=falsch )28.

An deutschen Haupt- und Berufsschulen fehlen rund 50 000 Lehrer. Eine Studie zu diesem Thema kommt nun dem Ergebnis, dass diese schlimme Lage teilweise von Hochschulen und Wirtschaft selbt gemacht ist.Schuld an der Lage ist der sogenannte …Schweinezyklus“ – ein Wirtschaftstrend, nach dem auf ein Überangebot an Studenten in einem Studienfach ein Rückgang der Studienfänger in dem überlaufenen Fach folgt. Einige Jahre später fehlt in den Unternehmen dann der Nachwuchs.So schränkten viele Betribe Anfang der 90er Jahre ihre Ausbildung ein. Ingenieure und Informatiker wurden bur noch selten eingestellt. Durch die abnehmende Personalnachfrage durch die Industrie ging die Zahl der Studienanfänger in den Bereichen Informatik, Elektrotechnik und Maschinenbau um mehr als die Hälfte zurück. Als die Wirtschaft wieder besser wurde, fehlten die Fachkräfte.Der Arbeitsmarktforscher Gerhard Bosch fordert, dass man unabhängig vonSchwankungen in der Bevölkerungsentwirklung und wirtschaftlichen Krisen nach einem Weg suchen müsse, um …Schweinezyklen“ künftig vorbeugen zu können.Wenn in einem Unternehmen qualifizierte Kräft fehlten, so mussten bisher meist die Mitarbeiter helfen. Doch längere Arbeitszeiten und Überstunden lassen sich nicht beliebig ausdehnen.Generhell wird der Bedarf an qualifizierten Fachkräften wach sen: …Ob es zu einem Fachkräftemangel kommt, hängt sehr stark von den Ausbildungszahlen und der Modernität des Ausbildungssystems ab“, so Bosch. Die Chancen für Arbeitskräfte mit geringer Qualifikation seien schlecht, auch wenn einfache Tätigkeiten weiterhin gefragt blieben. Markieren Sie bitte die richtigen Lösungen auf dem Antwortbogen!32. Wer ist am Mangel an Fachkräften schuld?a. Hochschulen und Wirtschaftb. Unternehmenc. Hochschulen33.Was versteht man unter dem Begriff …Schweinezyklus“?a.

Auf ein Überangebot an Studien in einem Studienfach folgt ein Rückgang der Studienanfängern in dem Fach.c. Auf ein Überangebot an Studien in einem Studienfach folgt ein Rückgang der Studienfächer.34. Welche Aussage ist richtig?a. Anfang der 90er Jahre förderten viele Beriebe ihre Ausbildung.b. Anfang der 90er Jahre ging die Zahl der Studienanfänger zurück.c. Anfang der 90er Jahre schränkte die Industrie die Zahl der Fachkräfte ein.35. Was ist die Meinung von Gerhard Bosch?a. Der Bedarf an qualifizierten Fachkräften wird weiter sinken.b. Die Wirtschaftskrisen haben den Fachkräftemangel verursacht.c.Arbeitskräfte mit geringer Qualifikation hanben weniger Chancen.Text E Konsum mit guten GewissenDen Trend zum nachhaltigen Konsum beobachtet man fast überall in der Welt.Immer mehr leute wollen möglichste schadstoffreie Lebesmittel haben, also Bio.Und mit der Veröffentlichung des Weltklimaberichts im Frühjahr 2007 gewann die Bewegung noch einmal an Fahrt.Als Vorriter haben Soyiologen und Marktforscher die …Lohas“(…Lifestyle of heslth and Sustainability“)ausgemacht.Sie diskutieren über Solaryellen auf dem Dach,Naturko smetik auf der Haut,und wie man im Skiurlaub der Umwelt möglichst wenig schadet.Aber mit der Ökobewegung der 80er-Jahre haben sie wenig gemein.Sie wollen Öko mit Spaß verbinden und nicht mit Veryicht.Auch Lohas spielt Gesumdheit eine große Rolle.Was sie kaufen,muss frisch sein,einen hohen Nahrwert haben.Wer zu dieser Gruppe gehört,konsumer mit Lust.aber immer Ökologisch korrekt.Sie achten beim Kauf auf ökologische Aspeckte und wollen mit gutem Gewissen Konsumieren.Der Einfluss der Lohas gründet nicht auf politischer Macht,sondern auf ihrer kollektiven Kaufkraft.Man schätzt die Zahl der neuen Ökokonsumenten in Deutschland auf etwa achtmillionen und ihre Kaufkraft auf rund 200 milliarden Euro.Im Vergleich zu früheren Ökopropagandisten sind sie pragmatischer und kund sehnen sich einfach nach mehr Lebensqualität.Aber unpolitisch seien die Lohas keineswegs.“ Sie wollen ja gerade Konsumetscheidungen als Hebel nutzen,um eine andere politik der Unternehmen zu bewirken.

回交自交系(BIL)群体是永久性群体, 可以进行有重复的比较试验, 适用于受环境影响较大的复杂性状的遗传研究。

本研究以BIL群体为对象构建了４对主基因、主基因加多基因分离分析方法的遗传模型, 包括2类11个遗传模型。

利用基于IECM (iterative expectation conditional maximization)算法的极大似然分析方法估算各个混合遗传模型中的分布参数, 用AIC值和一组适合性测验结果选取最优模型, 并从入选模型的分布参数通过最小二乘法估计遗传参数。

由1个模拟的随机区组试验对模型进行验证, 模拟群体中遗传参数的估计值与设定值之间具有很好的一致性。

利用本文建立的模型重新分析大豆回交自交系群体(Essex×ZDD2315)及其亲本对胞囊线虫(Hetero-dera glycines Ichinohe) 1号生理小种的抗性数据后发现4对主基因模型优于原报道的3对主基因模型, 说明本方法的有效性和正确性。

The method is particularly valuable for plant breeders to use their data accumulated from segregation populations to estimate the genetic system of target traits, which is necessary for designing breeding strategies and also useful for validating the results of QTL mapping. The backcross inbred line (BIL) population is one of the permanent populations, which is suitable for genetic analysis of complex traits and can be used in replicated experiments. For BIL population, the analytical procedures of three and less major genes plus polygenes mixed inheritance models have been established. The objective of the present study was to estab-lish the analytical procedures of segregation analysis for four major genes plus polygenes mixed inheritance models in BIL popu-lation. Eleven genetic models with four additive and (or) epistatic major genes including those without and with polygenes were established. The component distribution parameters were solved and estimated by using maximum likelihood method based on IECM (Iterative Expectation Conditional Maximization) algorithm. Among the possible models, the best one was chosen accord-ing to Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC) and a set of tests for goodness of fit. Then the genetic parameters of the optimal model were estimated through the least square method.
