Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spring wheat grown in Saskatchewan has traditionally been red-grained. A shift in markets to the Pacific Rim has resulted in the need for white-grained cultivars, but white wheat germplasm has traditionally had poor pre-harvest sprouting resistance, presenting a drawback for the potential development of white wheat cultivars adapted to Saskatchewan. Seed dormancy is the main factor responsible for conferring pre-harvest sprouting tolerance to wheat grain. This report describes a project to develop hard white bread wheat cultivars with high seed dormancy levels. Standard small-plot techniques were used to evaluate hard white wheat experimental lines. Results of breeding efforts that started with testing of 280 advanced lines are presented.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a highly valuable crop that makes up a large portion of the world’s food. However, breeding for improved varieties with desirable characteristics can be a challenge. This research examined two different issues wheat breeders deal with throughout the selection process all the way to production of Certified seed. The first study examined how 39 cultivars as well as 6 experimental crosses differ in grain dormancy expression. In order to see if dormancy has been systematically bred out of soft white winter wheat, the release date of the cultivars used in this trial ranged from 1948 to 2012. The second study investigated the source of phenotypic variation that appeared in Foundation seed fields of the recently released variety Bobtail. Bobtail was bred to be a semi-dwarf awnletted wheat that was superior in productivity and disease resistance. Plants of Bobtail were observed to segregate for awned and awnless phenotypes which also varied in plant height. Since there was variation in plant phenotypes observed in the Foundation seed field, it was important to determine what was causing the plant segregation. The first study was conducted over the course of two years and in the first year was only planted at Corvallis, OR, while second year trials were planted at Corvallis, OR as well as Pendleton, OR. To investigate how varieties differed in dormancy expression, seed germination trials were conducted at two temperatures in the first year (4°C and 20°C), and four temperatures in the second year (4°C, 10°C, 20°C and 30°C). In the first year, the impact of temperature during seed germination as well as dry storage on the breakdown of grain dormancy expression was investigated; whereas in the second year, the effects of ripening environment and temperature during germination on dormancy expression were determined. First year results demonstrated that soft white winter wheat does not show any grain dormancy at 20°C within the first few weeks after harvest, regardless of the temperature in which the grain was stored or germinated. Results from the second year showed that grain ripening environment has an impact on seed germination rates at different temperatures. A rain event occurred two days prior to harvest at the Corvallis, OR location but not at the Pendleton, OR location. None of the varieties showed any dormancy when they were imbibed at 20°C within 48 hours after harvest. However, some varieties demonstrated high-temperature induced dormancy when they were imbibed and kept at 30°C. This temperature slowed seed germination rate and cultivars that exhibited high-temperature induced dormancy were: Brevor, Bobtail, Cayuga, Gene, Nugaines, Rely and the experimental line 11-225-6H. There was no trend linking older released varieties to higher levels of seed dormancy compared to more recently released varieties, indicating that seed dormancy has not been systematically bred out of soft white winter wheat over time. For the second study, sixteen heads were snapped from a segregating head row that originated from a Bobtail Foundation seed field (one seed head was lost in the field). The objective of this study was to determine if the phenotypic variation was due to a contamination event or if it was a genetic variant of the variety Bobtail. There were several possibilities that could have caused the phenotypic variation such as an epistatic event, translocations, out-crossing or some type of seed contamination. To determine the source, sixteen plants from each of the fifteen heads collected from the segregating head row were grown in a greenhouse over the course of two generations. DNA samples were taken from all of the plants from the first generation. Eleven markers that showed polymorphism among a diverse panel of wheat varieties from a previous study were used in this trial and seven of the markers showed amplification and success. The results showed that there was very little variation among the individuals in this trial. The greenhouse trial that was grown to observe the plant segregation patterns revealed that the segregating lines segregated at a 3:1 awnless:awned ratio. All plants that came from an awned plant remained awned and several of the lines remained completely awnless. The marker analysis demonstrated there was no source of contamination and that plants observed segregating were a true genetic variant of the variety Bobtail. Phenotypic data showed that complete elimination of awned plants through the breeding and selection process had not occurred. Plants that came from segregating lines followed a typical Medelian segregation ratio. With this information, this variant was added to Bobtail’s variety description since it was not genotypically different.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) and late-maturity alpha-amylase (LMA) are two of the biggest grain quality defects that grain growers encounter. About 50 percent of the global wheat crop is affected by pre-harvest sprouting to various degrees. Pre-harvest sprouting is a genetically-based quality defect and results in the presence of alpha-amylase in otherwise sound mature grain. It can range from perhaps undetectable to severe damage on grain and is measured by the falling numbers or alpha-amylase activity. This is an international issue, with sprouting damage lowering the value of crops to growers, seed and grain merchants, millers, maltsters, bakers, other processors, and ultimately the consumer. As such it has attracted attention from researchers in many biological and non-biological disciplines. The 13th International Symposium on Pre-Harvest Sprouting in Cereals was held 18-20 September, 2016 in Perth to discuss current findings of grain physiology, genetic pathways, trait expression and screening methods related to pre-harvest sprouting and LMA. This event followed the previous symposium in 2012 in Canada.

Download or read book Genetic and Hormonal Mechanisms Controlling Grain Dormancy and Preharvest Sprouting Tolerance in White Wheat written by Shantel Amealia Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preharvest sprouting (PHS), germination of mature grain while still on the mother plant, occurs when conditions become cool and wet before harvest. The hydrolytic enzyme ?-amylase, induced during germination, mobilizes starch into simple carbohydrates to fuel seedling growth. Because this enzyme activity in flour causes poor end-use quality, sprouted grain sells at a severe discount. The falling number (FN) test measures ?-amylase activity in wheat meal or flour in the wheat industry. Seed dormancy, the inability to germinate even under favorable conditions, contributes about 60--80 % of genetic PHS tolerance. Red wheat varieties have higher seed dormancy and PHS tolerance than white. To improve white wheat, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) examined the genetic architecture of PHS tolerance in 469 soft white winter wheat accessions. Based on FN after natural or artificial rain, the GWAS identified 9 QTL (QFN.wsu), of which 4 co-localized with known PHS QTL and 3 with known FN/quality QTL. Based on visible sprout in spike-wetting tests, the GWAS identified 34 QTL (QPHS.wsu), of which 19 co-localized with known PHS loci and genes such as MOTHER OF FLOWERING TIME (TaMFT) and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3 (TaMKK3-A). PHS tolerance in white wheat can result from higher sensitivity to the seed dormancy-inducing hormone abscisic acid (ABA). Enhanced Response to ABA (ERA8 ) is a semi-dominant ABA hypersensitive mutant, resulting in increased seed dormancy and PHS tolerance in the soft white spring wheat 'Zak'. The ERA8 locus was mapped to a large region of chromosome 4A relative to mutagen-induced SNPs in a Zak/ZakERA8 backcross population using bulk segregant analysis (BSA) of exome sequence from BC 3F2:3 wild-type and mutant DNA. Fine mapping using mutagen-induced SNPs in additional backcross lines localized ERA8 to a 4.5 Mb region containing 70 predicted genes. The only mutagen-induced coding region mutation strongly linked to ERA8 (LOD 16.51) resulted in a missense mutation in MKK3-A, a gene involved in Arabidopsis ABA signaling. Natural variation in wheat and barley MKK3 was previously shown to control seed dormancy and PHS tolerance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wheat pre-harvest sprouting (PHS), germination of physiologically matured grains in a wheat spike before harvesting, can cause significant reduction in grain yield and end-use quality. Many quantitative trait loci (QTL) for PHS resistance have been reported in different sources. To determine the genetic architecture of PHS resistance and its relationship with grain color (GC) in US hard winter wheat, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on both PHS resistance and GC was conducted using in a panel of 185 U.S. elite breeding lines and cultivars and 90K wheat SNP arrrays. PHS resistance was assessed by evaluating sprouting rates in wheat spikes harvested from both greenhouse and field experiments. Thirteen QTLs for PHS resistance were identified on 11 chromosomes in at least two experiments, and the effects of these QTLs varied among different environments. The common QTLs for PHS resistance and GC were identified on the long arms of the chromosome 3A and 3D, indicating pleiotropic effect of the two QTLs. Significant QTLs were also detected on chromosome arms 3AS and 4AL, which were not related to GC, suggesting that it is possible to improve PHS resistance in white wheat. To identify markers closely linked to the 4AL QTL, genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) technology was used to analyze a population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from a cross between two parents, "Tutoumai A" and "Siyang 936", contrasting in 4AL QTL. Several closely linked GBS SNP markers to the 4AL QTL were identified and some of them were coverted to KASP for marker-assisted breeding. To investigate effects of the two non-GC related QTLs on 3AS and 4AL, both QTLs were transferered from "Tutoumai A" and "AUS1408" into a susceptible US hard winter wheat breeding line, NW97S186, through marker-assisted backcrossing using the gene marker TaPHS1 for 3AS QTL and a tightly linked KASP marker we developed for 4AL QTL. The 3AS QTL (TaPHS1) significantly interacted with environments and genetic backgrounds, whereas 4AL QTL (TaMKK3-A) interacted with environments only. The two QTLs showed additive effects on PHS resistance, indicating pyramiding these two QTLs can increase PHS resistance. To improve breeding selection efficiency, genomic prediction using genome-wide markers and marker-based prediction (MBP) using selected trait-linked markers were conducted in the association panel. Among the four genomic prediction methods evaluated, the ridge regression best linear unbiased prediction (rrBLUP) provides the best prediction among the tested methods (rrBLUP, BayesB, BayesC and BayesC0). However, MBP using 11 significant SNPs identified in the association study provides a better prediction than genomic prediction. Therefore, for traits that are controlled by a few major QTLs, MBP may be more effective than genomic selection.

Book excerpt: The investigation on wheat was conducted with the objective to study variability for spot blotch resistance caused by B. sorokiniana in the wheat germplasm lines and to find out the distribution of resistance across various height and maturity groups. Observations were recorded for disease severity (%) as well as using 0-9 scale. Disease was rated three times i.e. at growth stages 69, 77 and 83 (Zadoks et.al.1974) to calculate AUDPC. Plant height, days to maturity and test weight was also recorded for each genotype. A wide variability for resistance to spot blotch was observed in the wheat lines screened.15 lines were found to have resistant. The proportion of moderately resistant, moderately susceptible and susceptible lines were 47%, 43% and 6% respectively.The useful resistant lines having dwarf stature and early days to maturity were 15. These lines can be exploited in crossing programme to developing spot blotch resistant early maturing lines suited to rice wheat cropping system of NEPZ.Differential reaction was also observed in same line that supported the idea of independent gene control.

Book excerpt: Wheat provides over 20% of the calories for the world population of 5. 3 billion persons. It is widely grown in five of the six continents. It is a highly versatile food product in that it can be stored safely for long periods of time and transported in bulk over long distances. In relative terms, it is reasonably priced; over the past quarter century, the inflation-adjusted price of wheat has been declining. Modern milling and baking technology required for the transformation of wheat grain into consumable baked products is available or accessible in all countries of the world. For these reasons, and because Canada is one of world's leading wheat producing countries, it seemed appropriate to include a major symposium on wheat in the scientific and technical program of the 8th World Congress of Food Science and Technology held in Toronto, Canada during September 29-0ctober 4, 1992. In selecting the topics for the symposium on wheat, we attempted to cover a full range of subjects including economics and marketing, nutrition, grading, processing, constituent chemistry and functionality, biote- nology, and safety of genetically modified wheat varieties. The major focus was on common hard (bread) wheats; separate papers were devoted to the unique characteristics and technological properties of common soft (biscuit) and durum (pasta) wheats. Each paper was presented by an acknowledged international expert. This book provides a more permanent record of the papers presented at the symposium.
