Brown Dean, College of Biology and Agriculture ABSTRACT SIMPLE SEQUNCE REPEAT DEVELOPMENT, POLYMORPHISM AND GENETIC MAPPING IN QUINOA (CHENOPODIUM QUINOA WILLD.) David E. Jarvis Department of Plant and Animal Sciences Master of Science Quinoa is an important, highly nutritional grain crop in the Andean region of South America. DNA markers and linkage maps are important tools for the improvement of underdeveloped crops such as quinoa. The objectives of this study were to (i) develop a new set of SSR markers to augment the number of SSR markers available in quinoa, and (ii) construct a new genetic linkage map of quinoa based on SSRs using multiple recombinant-inbred line (RIL) populations. Here we report the development of 216 new polymorphic SSR markers from libraries enriched for GA, CAA, and AAT repeats, as well as 6 SSR markers developed from BAC-end sequences (BES-SSRs). Heterozygosity (H) values of the SSR markers ranged from 0.12 to 0.90, with an average value of 0.56. These new SSR and BES-SSR markers were analyzed on two RIL mapping populations (designated Population 1 and Population 40), each obtained by crossing Altiplano and coastal ecotypes of quinoa. Additional markers, including AFLPs, two 11S seed storage protein loci, a SNP, and the nucleolar organizing region (NOR), were also analyzed on one or both populations. Linkage maps were constructed for both populations. The Population 1 map contains 275 markers, including 200 SSR and 70 AFLP markers, as well as five additional markers. The map consists of 41 linkage groups (LGs) covering 913 cM. The Population 40 map contains 68 markers, including 62 SSR and six BES-SSR markers, and consists of 20 LGs covering 353 cM. Thirty-nine anchor markers common between both maps were used to combine 15 Population 1 LGs with 13 Population 40 LGs. The resulting integrated map consists of 13 LGs containing 140 SSR, 48 AFLP, four BES-SSR, one SNP, and one NOR marker spanning a total of 606 cM. A high level of segregation distortion was observed in both populations, indicating possible chromosomal regions associated with gametophytic factors or QTLs conferring a selective advantage under the particular growing conditions. As these maps are based primarily on easily-transferable SSR markers, they are particularly suitable for applications in the underdeveloped Andean regions where quinoa is grown. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many thanks are owed to my committee chair, Dr. Eric N. Jellen, and my committee members, Dr. P. Jeff Maughan and Dr. R. Paul Evans. Their doors and email inboxes have always been open, and they have been always willing to answer questions or give advice.

It is an important South American cereal crop that recently has gained international attention for the high nutritional value of its grain. Grown primarily in the Altiplano regions of Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Peru, quinoa has served as an important staple crop for subsistence farmers for thousands of years (Pearsall 1992; Wilson 1988, Maughan et al. 2004). It is well-suited as a staple crop in the Altiplano due to its high protein content (7.5-22.1%) (Tapia et al. 1979) as well as its ability to grow in the harsh environments that characterize much of the Altiplano, specifically high altitudes (up to 4000 m), frequent frosts, and saline soils (Risi and Galwey 1984; Vacher 1998; Prado et al. 2000; Jacobsen et al. 2003; Maughan et al. 2004). Despite its many desirable nutritional characteristics,

    Eurysacca Melanocampta MEYRICK (LEPIDOPTERA: GELECHIIDAE) for TWO VARIETIES of QUINOA (Chenopodium Quinoa WILLD.) in OLFACTOMETRY ASSAYS

    RESEARCH 71 PREFERENCE OF QUINOA MOTH: Eurysacca melanocampta MEYRICK (LEPIDOPTERA: GELECHIIDAE) FOR TWO VARIETIES OF QUINOA (Chenopodium quinoa WILLD.) IN OLFACTOMETRY ASSAYS Juan F. Costa1*, Walter Cosio1, Maritza Cardenas1, Erick Yábar1, and Ernesto Gianoli2 ABSTRACT Insects are attracted to plants by visual and olfactory cues. The quinoa moth, Eurysacca melanocampta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is the main insect pest of the quinoa crop, Chenopodium quinoa Willd. (Chenopodiales: Chenopodiaceae), in the southern Peruvian Andes, causing grain yield losses. The aim of this study was to investigate the behavioural response of adult quinoa moths to olfactory stimuli. Specifically, the objectives of this study were: 1) to determine the capacity of E. melanocampta adults of searching for quinoa plants using plant olfactory cues; 2) to determine the preference of E. melanocampta females for the odours derived from two varieties of quinoa: Amarilla de Marangani and Blanca de Junín; and 3) to assess the attraction of male quinoa moths to E. melanocampta females and the host plant in olfactometric bioassays. Adults preferred quinoa plant odour sources in choice tests when distilled water was used as a control (P < 0.0001). Females were more attracted to the Blanca de Junín variety than to Amarilla de Marangani variety (P < 0.05). Males were more attracted to the odour derived from females than to the volatile compounds from plants (both varieties) or to the odour blend derived from plants plus females together. The level of attraction of males towards females is negatively affected by the presence of the quinoa plants. Key words: attraction, Chenopodiaceae, Gelechiidae, searching, olfactometry, quinoa.

The fields at low altitudes have the potential to produce higher yields than those in the highlands. This study investigated the occurrence of insect pests and the natural enemies of quinoa in a traditional production zone, San Lorenzo (in the Andes), and in two new zones at lower altitudes, La Molina (on the coast) and Majes (in the “Maritime Yunga” ecoregion), by plant sampling and pitfall trapping. Our data indicated that the pest pressure in quinoa was higher at lower elevations than in the highlands. The major insect pest infesting quinoa at high densities in San Lorenzo was Eurysacca melanocampta; in La Molina, the major pests were E. melanocampta, Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Liriomyza huidobrensis; and in Majes, Frankliniella occidentalis was the most abundant pest.

Paul Botanical Survey of India, Central National Herbarium, Howrah-711103, India E- mail: [email protected] Received revised 07.12.2012; Accepted 11.12.2012 Abstract The present paper presents a concise account of Chenopodiaceae in India. In all 19 genera with 50 species, 1 subspecies, 3 varieties have been recognized and another 2 genera and 14 species are cultivated or introduced. The genera and species are arranged in alphabetical order. Within the enumeration Key to genera and species, correct nomenclature, reference to type materials wherever available, phenology and distribution also have been added. Key words: India, Chenopodiaceae, Synopsis, comb. et stat. nov. INTRODUCTION The plants of Chenopodiaceae Ventenat, commonly known as ‘Goosefoot’ family, are mostly grow as weed and some are food plants like spinach, chard, beets, sugar beet and quinoa. The family is placed in the order Caryophyllales by Cronquist (1981), Takhtajan (1969) and Dahlgren (1975). Hutchinson (1959) and Thorne (1968, 1992) included the family in the order Chenopodiales, Ulbrich in Engler & Prantl (1934) in the order Centrospermae and Bentham & Hooker (1880) in the series Curvembryeae. Bentham & Hooker (1880) divided the family into two series, cyclobeae and spirolobeae. Cyclobeae is characterized by annular embryo, albumen copious whereas in spirolobeae the embryo is spiral and albumen scanty or absent. Williams & Ford-Lloyd (1974) recognised three subfamilies: Chenopodieae (embryo cyclical, operculum absent, endosperm absent, ovary superior), Salsoleae (embryo spiral, operculum absent, endosperm absent, ovary superior), Beteae (embryo cyclical, operculum present in fruit, endosperm present, ovary semi-inferior).
