Abstract: | The single chromosome substitution lines of chromosome 3B of the Czech alternative wheat variety Česká Přesívka (CP 3B) into
two spring varieties Zlatka and Sandra, revealed clear differences in flowering time compared to the recipient varieties.
To map this gene(s), recombinant substitution lines for chromosome 3B were produced from crosses of the substitution lines
with their recipient parents and genetic maps developed using SSR markers. Two populations were mapped, Sandra//Sandra 3B/Sandra
(CP 3B) and Zlatka//Zlatka/Zlatka (CP 3B). Combining the genotype data with phenotype data on flowering time in five independent
experiments under natural long day or controlled short day conditions revealed a single flowering time QTL. This gene had
an additive effect of 1–6 days, depending on environment and genetic background, and was mapped in both populations to a position
in the region of marker Xbarc164 near the centromere on the long arm of 3B. Comparisons of the genetic maps with other 3B maps developed by the authors indicated
that the QTL may be homologous to a QTL segregating in UK germplasm. |
