Synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW; 2n = 6x 42, AABBDD, Triticum aestivum L.) is produced from an interspecific cross between durum (2n 4x 28, AABB, T. turgidum and goat grass 2x 14, DD, Aegilops tauschii Coss.) reported to have significant novel alleles-controlling biotic abiotic stresses resistance. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted unravel these loci [marker–trait associations (MTAs)] using 35,648 genotyping-by-sequencing-derived single nucleotide polymorphisms in 123 SHWs....
As one of the key crop traits, plant height is traditionally evaluated manually, which can be slow, laborious and prone to error. Rapid development remote proximal sensing technologies in recent years allows estimated more objective efficient fashions, while research regarding direct comparisons between different measurement methods seems lagging. In this study, a ground-based multi-sensor phenotyping system equipped with ultrasonic sensors light detection ranging (LiDAR) was developed....
Synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW; Triticum durum L. × Aegilopstauschii Coss.) is a means of introducing novel genes/genomic regions into bread (T. aestivum L.) and potential genetic resource for improving grain mineral concentrations. We quantified 10 minerals (Ca, Cd, Cu, Co, Fe, Li, Mg, Mn, Ni, Zn) using an inductively coupled mass spectrometer in 123 SHWs genome-wide association study (GWAS). A GWAS with 35,648 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers identified 92 marker-trait...
Plant breeders regularly evaluate multiple traits across environments, which opens an avenue for using in genomic prediction models. We assessed the potential of multi-trait (MT) model through evaluating several strategies incorporating (eight agronomic and malting quality traits) into models with two cross-validation schemes (CV1, predicting new lines genotypic information only CV2, partially phenotyped both phenotypic from correlated barley. The predictive ability was similar single...
Synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW) is a reconstitution of from its progenitors (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum L.; AABB x Aegilops tauschii Coss.; DD) and has novel sources genetic diversity for broadening the base elite bread (BW) germplasm (T. aestivum L). Understanding population structure SHWs will facilitate their use in breeding programs. Our objectives were to understand compare with BW cultivars demonstrate potential broaden modern germplasm. The genotyping-by-sequencing SHW provided...
Moderate heat stress accompanied by short episodes of extreme during the post-anthesis stage is common in most US wheat growing areas and causes substantial yield losses. Sink strength (grain number) a key limiting factor modern varieties. Increasing spike fertility (SF) improving partitioning assimilates can optimize sink which essential to improve potential under hot humid environment. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) allows identification novel quantitative trait loci (QTLs)...
Spot blotch is an important disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in South Asia. Division test sites for this into homogenous subregions expected to contribute more efficient evaluation and better differentiation cultivars. Data from a collaborative regional program Asia conducted by CIMMYT were analyzed group testing relatively spot area under the progress curve (AUDPC). Five-year data eight locations Eastern Gangetic Plains Nursery (EGPSN) five Yield Trial (EGPYT) three countries (India,...
Winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) yield produced in Nebraska is often inconsistent, mainly due to environmental variability. Managing production practices could partially mitigate this problem. The objective of study was determine the effects seeding rate (0.5, 1, and 2 times normal rate), genotype (6), topdressed nitrogen (0 34 kg N ha −1 at flag leaf stage) on agronomic characteristics winter wheat. Experiments were conducted under rainfed conditions Agronomy Research Farm (ARF;...
Abstract Development of winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) synthetics started at CIMMYT-Mexico in 2004, when durum turgidum germplasm from Ukraine and Romania was crossed with Aegilops tauschii accessions the Caspian Sea region. Chromosomes were doubled after pollination embryo rescue, but chromosome number cytological validation not performed. F 2 populations grown Mexico shipped to Turkey 2008. During 2009–2015, these subjected rigorous pedigree selection under dry, cold, disease-affected...
Automated phenotyping technologies are continually advancing the breeding process. However, collecting various secondary traits throughout growing season and processing massive amounts of data still take great efforts time. Selecting a minimum number that have maximum predictive power has potential to reduce efforts. The objective this study was select principal features extracted from UAV imagery critical growth stages contributed most in explaining winter wheat grain yield. Five dates...
Genetic resistance against biotic stress is a major goal in many wheat breeding programs. However, modern cultivars have limited genetic variation for disease and pest there always possibility of the evolution new diseases pests to overcome previously identified genes. A total 125 synthetic hexaploid wheats (SHWs; 2n = 6x 42, AABBDD, Triticum aestivum L.) were characterized fungal pathogens that cause rusts (leaf; Puccinia triticina, stem; P. graminis f.sp. tritici, stripe; striiformis...
Abstract Controlling spatial variation in agricultural field trials is the most important step to compare treatments efficiently and accurately. Spatial variability can be controlled at experimental design level with assignment of units modeling use corrections other strategies. The goal this study was efficiency methods used control a wide range scenarios using simulation approach based on real wheat data. Specifically, classic designs without two-dimensional autoregressive correction were...
Fine-tuning production inputs such as seeding rate, nitrogen (N), and genotype may improve end-use quality of hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivium L.) when growing conditions are unpredictable. Studies were conducted at the Agronomy Research Farm (ARF; Lincoln, NE, USA) High Plains Agricultural Laboratory (HPAL; Sidney, in 2014 2015 Nebraska, USA, to determine effects (6), environment (4), rate (3), flag leaf top-dressed N (0 34 kg ha-1 ) on wheat.End-use traits influenced by...
