Phenotypic and genotypic characterization were performed to assess heritability, variability, seed yield stability of pea genotypes used in breeding increase the production area. A European diversity panel, including from North America, Asia, Australia consisting varieties, lines, pea, landraces was examined 2019 2020 Serbia Belgium using augmented block design. The highest heritability for thousand weight; coefficient variation yield. positive correlation between number seeds per plant pods...
Abstract Genomic resources are becoming available for Pisum but to link these phenotypic diversity requires well marked populations segregating relevant traits. Here we describe two such resources. Two recombinant inbred populations, derived from wide crosses in described. One high resolution mapping population involves cv Caméor, which the first pea whole genome assembly was obtained, crossed JI0281, a basally divergent P. sativum landrace Ethiopia. The other is an inter sub-specific cross...
Biparental recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations are sets of genetically stable lines and have a simple population structure that facilitates the dissection genetics interesting traits. On other hand, derived from multiparent intercrosses combine both greater diversity higher numbers recombination events than RILs. Here, we describe structure: three-way combination. This was easy to produce compromise between biparental populations. We show this had advantages when analyzing cultivar...
