The association of genes for purple coleoptile with chromosomes of the wheat variety Mironovskaya 808

Summary The association of genes for purple pigment in the coleoptile with the chromosomes of the winter wheat variety Mironovskaya 808 was investigated using monosomic F₂ analysis. The segregation ratio for F₂ hybrids of Chinese Spring monosomics x Mironovskya 808 seems to indicate that the purple colour of the coleoptile is determined by two dominant genes, Rc₃ and Rc₄, which are located on the chromosomes 7D and 6B respectively, and which reinforce each other. Apart from these two genes, suppressors found on the chromosomes 2A, 2B, 2D, 4B and 6A also play a role in the intensity of the purple colour.With the aid of a Chinese Spring telocentric chromosome marker it was observed that the Rc₃ gene is located on the chromosome arm 7DS, at a distance of 16±4.23 crossover units from the centromere.     

Monosomic analysis of Helminthosporium leaf blight resistance genes in wheat

A set of 21 monosomic (2n ‐ 1) and the disomic (2n) lines of the ‘Chinese Spring’ cultivar were crossed with ‘Chirya‐3′, the CIMMYT synthetic wheat line which has been identified as highly resistant for Helminthosporium leaf blight disease (HLB), in order to locate the genes governing disease resistance. The F₁ and segregating populations were challenged and screened against the most virulent pure mono‐conidial HLB isolate KL‐8 (Karnal, India). The F₁ progenies of the crosses were found to be susceptible because of the recessive nature of resistance. The F₂ progeny of the control cross (‘Chinese Spring’בChirya‐3’), segregated in the ratio of 1: 15 (resistant: susceptible), indicating that resistance to HLB was controlled by a pair of recessive genes. While the F₂ progeny of 19 monosomic crosses segregated in the ratio of 1: 15 (resistant: susceptible), the progeny of the remaining two crosses, 7B and 7D, deviated significantly from the ratio, revealing that 7B and 7D were the critical chromosomes for resistance genes that were located one on each chromosome. Moreover, the critical lines, 7B and 7D, confirmed the digenic complementary recessive nature of gene action by fitting well with the overall pooled F₂ segregation ratio of 13: 51 (resistant: susceptible) as expected for digenic complementary recessive resistance. The F₃ segregation ratios of the critical crosses, based on their pooled F₂ analysis, was estimated as 19: 32: 13 (non‐segregating susceptible: segregating as susceptible and resistant: non‐segregating resistant). F₃ progenies when tested with these ratios showed goodness‐of‐fit, confirming that the two pairs of recessive resistance genes were located on chromosomes 7B and 7D.     

Reciprocal monosomic analysis of frost resistance on chromosome 5A in wheat

Summary F₂ monosomic analysis and the direct comparisons between aneuploid series from different varieties of wheat suggest the likelihood of allelic variation. It is impossible however, from these studies to prove unequivocally that allelic variation exists. Some effects can be due to chromosome dosage rather than allelic variation. This disadvantage was overcome by using reciprocal monosomic analysis to study the genetic control of frost resistance on chromosome 5A in wheat. Data support the previous results obtained by F₂ monosomic and substitution analysis. The chromosome 5A has been shown to be the one which carries the major allelic differences that distinguish wheat varieties Chinese Spring, Rannyaya 12 and Mironovskaya 808 for frost resistance.     

Development and characterization of two new <Emphasis Type="Italic">Triticum aestivum</Emphasis>–<Emphasis Type="Italic">Dasypyrum</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">villosum</Emphasis> Robertsonian translocation lines T1DS·1V#3L and T1DL·1V#3S and their effect on grain quality

Dasypyrum villosum (L.) Candargy is a diploid, wild relative of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Previous studies showed that D. villosum chromosome 1V has genes that encode seed storage proteins that may be used to enhance the grain quality of bread wheat. As a first step in genetic transfer, the present study was initiated to develop compensating Robertsonian translocations involving wheat chromosome 1D and D. villosum chromosome 1V and to analyze their effects on grain quality. A monosomic 1D stock was crossed with the disomic addition stock DA1V#3 and the double monosomic plants (20″ + 1D′ + 1V#3′) were self pollinated. Two co-dominant STS markers (BE499250 and BE591682) polymorphic for the short arm of 1V#3S and two dominant STS markers (BE518358 and BE585781) polymorphic for the long arm of 1V#3L were developed to screen a large number of progeny to identify plants that had only the 1V#3S or 1V#3L arms. Five compensating Robertsonian heterozygous translocations, two (plants #56 and #83) for the short arm (T1DL·1V#3S) and three (plants #7, #123, and #208) for the long arm (T1DS·1V#3L) were identified from 282 F₂ plants and confirmed by genomic in situ hybridization and C-banding analyses. Two homozygous translocations T1DL·1V#3S (plants #14 and #39) were identified from 52 F₃ plants derived from F₂ plant #83. Four homozygous translocations T1DS·1V#3L (plants #3, #22, #29, and #30) were identified from 68 F₃ plants derived from F₂ plant #208. The homozygous translocation T1DL·1V#3S had a significantly higher (37.4 ml) and T1DS·1V#3L had significantly lower (10 ml) Zeleny sedimentation values compared to Chinese Spring wheat (30.7 ml). Our results showed that 1V#3S increased gluten strength and enhanced wheat quality, but 1V#3L decreased gluten strength and did not enhance wheat quality.     

Chromosomal location of genes controlling grain size in a large grained selection of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Summary Grain size in wheat is the most stable yield component and has a favorable effect on flour yield. To identify the chromosomes associated with the large grains of line G603-86, (grain weight over 60 mg and grain length of about 9 mm), F₃ lines, extracted from F₂ populations obtained from F₁ monosomics of crosses between G603-86 (P₁) and the monosomic set of Favorit (P₂) were tested in the field. ANOVA showed significant differences among parents for grain weight and grain length, but not for grain width or the factor expressing the difference in grain form and density. Homoeologous groups had significant effects on grain weight and on all components of grain weight, while genomes were not significantly different for any of these characters. Grain weight was significantly increased by chromosomes 6D and 4A of G603-86. Grain length was significantly increased by chromosomes 4A, 4B, 2B, 3A and 1B, grain width by chromosomes 1A and 1B, and the factor form-density by chromosomes 6D and 6A. The high grain size in G603-86 results from the effects of genes located on many chromosomes which affect grain dimensions, form and density.     

Monosomic analysis of stem rust resistance in the wheat cultivar Almus

Summary Monosomic analysis of resistance to stem rust, race 11 (isolate G 425) was carried out in the cultivar Almus (GDR) possessing a 1B/1R translocation. F₂ progenies of monosomic and disomic F₁ plants of Almus crossed with 21 monosomic lines of Chinese Spring were tested. Two lines (1B and 6B) differed significantly from the disomic segregation ratio by a higher number of resistant plants and two other lines (1D and 6A) by a lower number of resistant plants. The results fitted a hypothesis comprising the interaction of two genes for resistance and two inhibitors.     

The effects on grain endosperm structure of an introgression from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Aegilops speltoides</Emphasis> Tausch. into chromosome 5A of bread wheat

The endosperm structure of the wheat kernel determines its end-use quality. The known diversity in endosperm structure is related to the Pina-D1 and Pinb-D1 genes comprising the Ha locus on chromosome 5DS. We studied the effect of a gene introduced into bread wheat from the diploid relative, Aegilops speltoides, a putative donor of the B genome. Grain hardness and vitreousness were investigated in lines with homoeologous introgressions into chromosome 5A of spring wheat cultivar ‘Rodina’. One introgression changed the endosperm texture from hard to soft and had the same effect when transferred to other wheat genotypes. This indicated that its action was analogous to the dominant allele at the Ha locus. The temporary symbol Ha–Sp is given to the gene. Segregation for vitreousness in F₃ offspring from monosomic hybrids was also investigated. Genetic variability for endosperm structure in wheat may be extended by manipulating both hardness and vitreousness. Wheat germplasm with introgressions from wild relatives can increase the genetic variability of milling characteristics.

Identification of microsatellite markers linked with yield components under drought stress at terminal growth stages in durum wheat

Grain yield and yield components are the main important traits involved in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) improvement programs. The purpose of this research was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with yield components such as 1000 grain weight (TGW), grain weight per spike (GWS), number of grains per spike (GNS), spike number per m² (SN), spike weight (SW), spike harvest index (SHI) and harvest index (HI) using microsatellite markers. Populations of F₃ and F₄ lines derived from 151 F₂ individuals developed from a cross between Oste-Gata, a drought tolerant, and Massara-1, a drought susceptible durum wheat genotypes, were used. The populations were evaluated under four environmental conditions including two irrigation regimes of drought stress at terminal growth stages and normal field conditions in two growing seasons. Two hundred microsatellite markers reported for A and B genomes of bread wheat were used for parental polymorphism analysis and 30 polymorphic markers were applied to genotype 151 F_2:3 families. QTL analysis was performed using genome-wide single marker regression analysis (SMA) and composite interval mapping (CIM). The results of SMA revealed that about 20% of the phenotypic variation of harvest index and TGW could be explained by Xcfd22-7B and Xcfa2114-6A markers in different environmental conditions. Similarly, Xgwm181-3B, Xwmc405-7B and Xgwm148-3B and marker Xwmc166-7B were found to be associated with SHI and GWS, respectively. A total of 20 minor and major QTL were detected; five for TGW, two for GWS, two for GNS, three for SN, five for HI, two for SHI and one for SW. The mapped QTL associated with ten markers. Moreover, some of these QTL were prominent and stable under drought stress and non drought stress environments and explained up to 49.5% of the phenotypic variation.     

Chromosomal location of dwarfing gene Rht12 in wheat

Summary The chromosomal location of the dwarfing gene Rht12 in the mutant winter wheat Karcagi 522M7K was investigated using F₂ monosomic analysis. The segregation ratio for F₂ progenies of Chinese Spring monosomics × Karcagi 522M7K, and that of Cheyenne monosomics × Karcagi 522M7K indicated that the near complete dominant dwarfing gene Rht12 is located on chromosome 5A. The heterozygous and hemizygous states of the genes Rht12 have the same effect on plant height.

Utilization of Intervarietal Chromosome Substitutions in Breeding Winter Wheat

Using monosomic lines of wheat cultivars ‘Palur’ and ‘Compal’ as recipient parents as well as disomic substitution lines of chromosomes 5A and 5D of the wheat cv. ‘Atlas 66’, F₃-populations and BC₁′- to BC₃′-populations with limited and free recombination of the 20 and 21 parental chromosomes, respectively, were realized and tested in field trials in comparison to the corresponding recipient cvs. ‘Palur’ and ‘Compal’. F₃- and BC'-populations with the homozygous chromosomes 5A and 5D of the wheat cv. ‘Atlas 66’ expressed higher and more stable grain protein values than the comparable populations with free recombination of the same chromosomes. The grain protein content of populations with limited recombination was significantly increased compared with the recipient cultivars. Some advantages of using intervarietal substitutions in wheat breeding are discussed.     

陕麦139抗条锈病基因遗传分析

利用常规遗传和单缺体遗传分析方法,研究了小麦抗条锈病新种质陕麦139中抗病基因的遗传方式。结果表明,陕麦139×辉县红和陕麦139×阿勃两组合F₁植株对条中32表现近免疫。F₂群体对条中32抗性调查表明, 陕麦139×阿勃组合和陕麦139×辉县红组合的抗感比例分别为203∶16和210∶13,经卡方检验, 抗感分离比符合15∶1 (χ²值分别为0.26和0.02, χ²_0.05,1 = 3.84), 说明陕麦139所含抗性基因对条中32的抗性受2对独立遗传显性位点控制。21个单缺体组合的F₂群体苗期室内接种条中32的抗性分离调查结果表明,阿勃1BN´陕麦139组合抗感分离比例为75∶0 (χ²=4.65,χ²_0.05,1 = 3.84),阿勃2DN´陕麦139组合抗感分离比例为132∶2 (χ²=4.40,χ²_0.05,1 = 3.84),远远偏离15∶1,其余19个组合的抗感分离比例经卡方测验均符合15∶1。表明该抗条锈病基因位于1B和2D染色体,暂被分别命名为YrSM139-1B和YrSM139-2D。利用284对SSR引物检测F₂群体的抗感池和单株,发现YrSM139-1B与SSR标记Xgwm273紧密连锁,即该标记可作为YrSM139-1B抗条锈病基因的标记。利用Xgwm273对陕麦139的亲本分析表明, YrSM139-1B抗条锈病基因来自野生二粒小麦AS846。     

A Robertsonian translocation from Thinopyrum bessarabicum into bread wheat confers high iron and zinc contents

Development of wheat–alien translocation lines has facilitated practical utilization of alien species in wheat improvement. The production of a compensating Triticum aestivum–Thinopyrum bessarabicum whole‐arm Robertsonian translocation (RobT) involving chromosomes 6D of wheat and 6E^b of Th. bessarabicum (2n = 2x = 14, E^bE^b) through the mechanism of centric breakage–fusion is reported here. An F₂ population was derived from plants double‐monosomic for chromosome 6D and 6E^b from crosses between a DS6E^b(6D) substitution line and bread wheat cultivar ‘Roushan’ (2n = 6x = 42, AABBDD) as female parent. Eighty F₂ genotypes (L1–L80) were screened for chromosome composition. Three PCR‐based Landmark Unique Gene (PLUG) markers specific to chromosomes 6D and 6E^b were used for screening the F₂ plants. One plant with a T6E^bS.6DL centric fusion (RobT) was identified. A homozygous translocation line with full fertility was recovered among F₃ families and verified with genomic in situ hybridization (GISH). Grain micronutrient analysis showed that the DS6E^b(6D) substitution line and T6E^bS.6DL stock have higher Fe and Zn contents than the recipient wheat cultivar ‘Roushan’.     

小麦puroindoline b-2 基因变异与产量相关性状的分析

puroindoline b-2(Pinb-2)是近期发现的一组与puoindoline b基因高度相似的基因。Pinb-2基因在普通小麦B基因组中存在多种变异类型,软质麦中不同变异类型间籽粒硬度存在着显著差异。在此基础上进一步分析普通小麦B基因组中的Pinb-2基因等位变异与产量相关性状以及旗叶大小的关系,并利用重组近交系(F8)群体进行染色体定位。结果表明,4种不同变异类型的材料中,拥有Pinb-2v3b类型的小麦品种千粒重、籽粒直径、穗粒数、穗粒重和单株粒重均最高,拥有Pinb-2v3b类型的小麦品种产量相关性状可能优于其他3种类型。另外,拥有Pinb-2v3a类型的小麦品种旗叶宽度、旗叶长度和旗叶面积均高于其他3种类型。采用SSR标记定位结果表明,Pinb-2v2和Pinb-2v3互为一对等位基因,位于7B染色体的长臂上,与标记Barc315连锁。这一结果为进一步研究Pinb-2基因的分子遗传基础和小麦育种提供了依据。     

圆锥小麦四排穗性状基因的遗传及分子标记分析

四排穗(four-rowed spike, FRS)性状是超数小穗(supernumerary spikelets, SS)性状的一种类型,表现为在一个穗轴节片上近垂直地着生2个无柄小穗,从而增加了小穗数和穗粒数,对提高产量有一定的潜力。为了解圆锥小麦0880 FRS性状的遗传特征,将0880与正常穗(normal spike, NS)圆锥小麦0879杂交,构建了遗传群体,并对0880 (FRS) × 0879 (NS)与0879 (NS) × 0880 (FRS) F₁、F₂及F_2:3植株的穗部性状进行了调查。结果显示,正反交组合的F₁植株均表现为正常穗,F₂群体中正常穗与四排穗符合3∶1的分离比例,表明0880的四排穗性状由隐性单基因控制,将该基因定名为frs1;细胞质对frs1无显著影响。采用已定位于普通小麦A组与B组的SSR分子标记并结合混合分组分析法(BSA), 筛选出32个在双亲及F₂单株构建的四排穗型池和正常穗型池都具有多态性的SSR分子标记,利用JoinMap4.0软件构建了与frs1连锁的2A染色体11个SSR分子标记遗传图谱,其中SSR标记Xwmc598和Xwmc522位于frs1基因两侧,与该基因的遗传距离分别为4.0 cM和2.4 cM。利用2A染色体缺失系对这11个SSR进行物理定位,Xwmc598和Xwmc522均被定位在2A染色体短臂FL0.00~0.78区域。本研究的结果为frs1基因的精细定位及分子标记辅助选择奠定了基础。     

Effects of photoperiod sensitivity genes Ppd‐B1 and Ppd‐D1 on spike fertility and related traits in bread wheat

Increasing grain yield is a key breeding goal in bread wheat. Several authors have suggested that a spike fertility index (SF), that is the quotient between grain number per unit spike (GNS) and spike chaff dry weight (SCDW), could be used as a yield‐related selection criterion, especially if molecular markers were available. Here, the effects of Ppd‐B1 and Ppd‐D1 genes on SFm, GNSm and SCDWm (measured at maturity) and the relationship between these variables were analysed in field experiments carried out during three crop seasons at Balcarce, Argentina, on an association mapping population of 100 bread wheat cultivars of diverse origin released in Argentina between 1927 and 2010. Results show that both Ppd‐B1 and Ppd‐D1 are associated with SFm with similar effects. Cultivars with insensitive alleles at both genes showed a mean SFm 9.2% greater than those with sensitive alleles at both genes; at each gene, difference in SFm between insensitive and sensitive alleles was ~4.5%. In turn, each gene showed a differential effect on GNSm and SCDWm, as Ppd‐B1 was more related to SCDWm, whereas Ppd‐D1 was only related to GNSm. Although more research needs to be carried out in order to ascertain the physiological pathway by which these genes affect spike fertility, this study represents a first approximation in order to elucidate the molecular and genetic basis underlying SF and related physiological traits.
