Book Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping of Yield and Yield Components in Barley  Hordeum Vulgare L

Download or read book Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping of Yield and Yield Components in Barley Hordeum Vulgare L written by Abdoulaye Traore and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher grain yield is a key objective in barley (Hordeum vulgare. L) breeding. Despite extensive research on the genetics of yield and its components, selection for yield per se is still the most extensively employed because of negative relationships among components, modest correlations between yield and any particular component, and the additional resources required for measuring the components. The development of quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection procedures allows for an alternative approach to this issue. The objective of this investigation was to determine the biological basis of observed grain yield QTLs, with particular reference to yield components and yield-related traits. Yield and yield component traits were assessed in a population of spring barley doubled haploids from a cross of 'Steptoe' x 'Morex'. The scope of inference of the experiment was broadened by using reference QTL data sets from the multiple environment assessment of the same population. Both positive and negative relationships among yield, component, and related trait QTLs were observed. The QTL data indicate that indirect selection for yield via yield components would be ineffective. The yield QTL effects in this germplasm were largely attributable to lodging and basal internode length. Localization and interpretation of yield QTLs may be useful for studying orthologous gene expression in other germplasm and in developing multiple character selection strategies.

Book Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci for Malting Quality in a Winter X Spring Barley  Hordeum Vulgare  L   Cross

Download or read book Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci for Malting Quality in a Winter X Spring Barley Hordeum Vulgare L Cross written by Adeline M. Oziel and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making quality and winterhardiness in barley are "ultimate" phenotypes composed of component, quantitatively inherited traits. A 69-point genome map of the seven chromosomes of barley was used, in conjunction with multi-environment phenotypes for grain yield and malting quality, to determine the chromosome locations of quantitative trait loci (QTLs). A combined analysis of the two environments identified QTLs that were both common and unique to each environment. Dispersed QTLs with positive relationships provide ready targets for marker-assisted selection. Overlapping QTLs for agronomic and making quality QTLs with favorable alleles contributed by alternate parents will require further, higher resolution mapping to determine if negative relationships are due to linkage or pleiotropy. There is preliminary evidence for orthologous agronomic trait and malting QTLs in barley. This QTL analysis will hopefully assist in the rapid development of winter making varieties that will maximize the profitability of Oregon barley production.

Book Doubled Haploid Production in Crop Plants

Download or read book Doubled Haploid Production in Crop Plants written by M. Maluszynski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The production of doubled haploids has become a necessary tool in advanced plant breeding institutes and commercial companies for breeding many crop species. However, the development of new, more efficient and cheaper large scale production protocols has meant that doubled haploids are also recently being applied in less advanced breeding programmes. This Manual was prepared to stimulate the wider use of this technology for speeding and opening up new breeding possibilities for many crops including some woody tree species. Since the construction of genetic maps using molecular markers requires the development of segregating doubled haploid populations in numerous crop species, we hope that this Manual will also help molecular biologists in establishing such mapping populations. For many years, both the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have supported and coordinated research that focuses on development of more efficient doubled haploid production methods and their applications in breeding of new varieties and basic research through their Plant Breeding and Genetics Section of the Joint F AO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture. The first F AO/IAEA scientific network (Coordinated Research Programme - CRP) dealing with doubled haploids was initiated by the Plant Breeding and Genetics Section in 1986.
