The development and use of molecular markers for the detection exploitation DNA polymorphism is one most significant developments in field genetics. presence various types markers, differences their principles, methodologies, applications require careful consideration choosing or more such methods. No are available yet that fulfill all requirements needed by researchers. According to kind study be undertaken, can choose among variety techniques, each which combines at least some desirable...

A genetic linkage mapping study was conducted in 93 doubled-haploid lines derived from a cross between Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell 'Arina' and Norwegian spring wheat breeding line, NK93604, using diversity arrays technology (DArT), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The objective of this to understand the distribution, redundancy, segregation distortion DArT markers comparison with AFLP SSR map contains total 624 189 DArTs, 165 AFLPs 270...

Hexaploid oat ( Avena sativa L., 2 n = 6 x 42) is a member of the Poaceae family and has large genome (∼12.5 Gb) containing 21 chromosome pairs from three ancestral genomes. Physical rearrangements among parental genomes have hindered development linkage maps in this species. The objective work was to develop single high‐density consensus map that representative majority commonly grown varieties. Data cDNA‐derived single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) were...

Genetic mapping (also known as linkage or meiotic mapping) refers to the determination of relative position and distances between markers along chromosomes. map two are defined mean number recombination events, involving a given chromatid, in that region per meiosis. construction requires researcher develop appropriate population, decide sample size type molecular marker(s) for genotyping, genotype population with sufficient markers, perform analyses using statistical programs. The detailed...

With 6 figures and 3 tables Abstract Anther extrusion (AE) has been suggested as one of the resistance mechanisms to Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat, but not well investigated. The objectives this study were assess AE double haploid population ‘Arina’ × ’NK93604’, evaluate its relationship both with FHB deoxynivalenol (DON) accumulation, map quantitative trait loci (QTLs). was studied 2005−2007 DON content analysed data from culmorum inoculations 2001–2003 graminearum 2007. showed...

A physically anchored consensus map is foundational to modern genomics research; however, construction of such a in oat (Avena sativa L., 2n = 6x 42) has been hindered by the size and complexity genome, scarcity robust molecular markers, lack aneuploid stocks. Resources developed this study include modified SNP discovery method for complex genomes, diverse set novel chromosome-deficient anchoring strategy. These resources were applied build first complete, physically-anchored hexaploid oat....

Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistant line Soru#1 was hybridized with the German cultivar Naxos to generate 131 recombinant inbred lines for QTL mapping. The population phenotyped FHB and associated traits in spray inoculated experiments El Batán (Mexico), spawn Ås (Norway) point Nanjing (China), two field trials at each location. Genotyping performed Illumina iSelect 90K SNP wheat chip, along a few SSR STS markers. A major after inoculation detected on 2DLc, explaining 15-22% of phenotypic...

Six hundred thirty five oat ( Avena sativa L.) lines and 4561 single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci were used to evaluate population structure, linkage disequilibrium (LD), genotype–phenotype association with heading date. The first principal components (PCs) accounted for 25.3% of genetic variation. Neither the eigenvalues 25 PCs nor cross‐validation errors from K = 1 20 model‐based analyses suggested a structured population. However, PC 2 supported clustering on spring vs. southern...

ABSTRACT Breeding for Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistant wheat adapted to the Norwegian climatic conditions is one of top priorities in country. This study was conducted characterize QTLs FHB resistance and low deoxynivalenol (DON) content a population 93 double haploid lines from cross between ‘Arina’ NK93604. Both parents have moderate levels FHB. The assessed under field 3 yr (2001 2003), DON analyzed seed samples 2002 experiment. two traits showed significant genetic variation were...

For maintaining food security and livelihood, farmers in marginal areas of production environments make use high levels crop genetic diversity. The exchange seed varieties among villagers, also the relative isolation local their environments, contributes to continued existence locally adapted genotypes.
