Genetics and physiology of wheat development to flowering: tools to breed for improved adaptation and yield potential
Annotation in Czech
The overall objective of this project is the timely delivery of knowledge, variation, and tools to breeding programmes for the manipulation of developmental attributes of wheat resulting in improved adaptation and yield. This addresses short term Globaland European food security issues and establishes a platform for long term genetic gain and maintenance breeding. We aim to test physiological hypotheses, and identify genetic factors and valuable germplasm, for flowering time and its phenological partitioning, in wheat. These hypotheses will relate to adaptation and crop performance. Specific objectives: 1. to assemble appropriate germplasm panels (including near isogenic lines, segregating populations, and specific varieties/breeding lines ) representing known genetic variation for developmental traits 2. to phenotype in the germplasm panels of the project agronomic traits determining adaptation and yield potential. 3. to characterise developmental traits determining flowering time in the genetic material of the panels studied 4. to relate phenotyped traits across levels of organisation, integrating genotypic and phenotypic information in QTL identification, and testing potentially useful QTLs in realistic breeding conditions 5. to deliver genetic markers for physiological components of complex phenological traits to allow the breeder to build flowering/phenology crop types by MAS of gene combinations 6. to provide a gene expression tool box which will allow the observed variation, including environmental interactions, 7. to explore the actual value of particular developmental alleles (affecting either adaptation or yield potential) across a wide range of growing conditions throughout Europe 8. The participant to assist for breeders with yield improvement and yield stability in wheat by implementation of the archived results in practical breeding gathered in the proposed consortium provide a balance of whole plant physiology and genetic expertise
