WGIN resource development at JIC

As we begin to clone key genes andelucidate genetic pathways in wheatcan we predict which genes are most malleable for future manipulation and what type of allele we want to look for.

Use of Avalon x Cadenza

• Open resource for research- high quality genotype and phenotype data publicly available.

• Available to various disciplines egphysiologists to ask questions relevant to UK agriculture, using material relevant to UK agriculture.

Discovering what genetic variation UK wheat breeders are using-

height

• Variation in final plant height is the result of a wide range of developmental effects of direct relevance to yield, yield stability, lodging, biomass, and resource use efficiency.

• What genes do wheat breeders use to manipulate final plant height?

Searching for new genetic variation in response to vernalization

• Adaptation of UK crops to climate change will require the fine tuning of growth habit beyond the classical spring/winter division.

• In a screen of of modern UK spring and alternative wheats- Vrn-A1 promoter duplication and Vrn-B1 intron deletion.

• Screen 800 Watkins lines with all available assays- Do we find spring types that do not have the known alleles?

What next?

• New alleles of Vrn1? Sequence.• Alleles of Vrn2, Vrn3?• Previously un-described genes?• All of the above could provide new genetic

variation for manipulation of growth habit.

What’s new with gene based markers at JIC?

• Good progress with development of new markers in theBBSRC Tools and Resources grant- half of the 800 have been designed and are being tested- screened for polymorphism and mapped.

• Rapid adoption by UK wheat community- visits to JIC from RReS,NIAB, university groups, and extensive use in a number of programmes.

Summary

• WGIN resources are an integrated set of genetic and genomic tools that can deliver outcomes of agricultural significance from UK science. The most important of these outcomes is identification of novel and useful genetic variation.

• The first step in the identification of novel genetic variation is to describe what we already have.

• Novel variation has been identified for sustainability traits including genetic variation that can be exploited in response to climate change.

samples) screened with a new set of wPtmarkers

• Majority of lines have evidence of deletions of at least one marker, or a block of several markers on each chromosome

• Publication being prepared, awaiting completion of data from Triticarte

More Interest in the MutantCollections

Previously Reported• At the JIC (BBSRC / INRA): nitrogen use efficiency• CIMMYT (Turkey and Mexico): flowering time and stature• Two areas of research at NIAB: phytate pathway and root development• RRes (WGIN and CSI): stay green and grain shape• INRA Clermont-Ferrand: monoculm and tillering• ADAS: leaf size • RAGT• CPB Twyford

Recently Underway• Two JIC pathology groups have shown interest in mildew and senescence variation

(EMS)• Tilling in operation for starch mutants at the JIC Genome Centre (EMS)• A Nottingham University Phd screening for chromosome breakage (Gamma)• Ph1 locus pairing publication from Graham Moore at JIC (Gamma)

CONSTRUCTION OF MUTAGENISEDWHEAT POPULATIONS

12x8 array ofCadenza M2 lines

• Assess lethal dose of EMS – aim for 30-60% survival.

• Plant EMS-imbibed seeds and grow to maturity. Collect 1 M1 ear per plant.

• Sow 1 M2 seed from each ear in 12x8 format.

• Harvest young leaf tissue into 12x8 deep-well microplates for genomic DNA isolation.

• Note any obvious phenotypes and harvest M3 seed -> archive.

• M2 ears sent to Martonvasar, Hungary, for fixing to M6 and field phenotyping

NUE, NUpE and NUtE• NUE has two independent

components: uptake efficiency and utilisation efficiency

• N-uptake efficiency (NUpE) is total crop uptake divided by N supply from soil and fertilizer (uptake/supply) – root trait?

• N-utilisation efficiency (NUtE) is grain yield (100%DM) divided by total N uptake (yield/uptake)

• Overall N-use efficiency, NUE = NUpE x NUtE (=yield/supply)

• Variation observed in all traits amongst WGIN varieties

• For all component traits, multiple pathways, enzymes, genes and control sites/forms of regulation involved

Example trait: post anthesis N remobilisation as a key component of NUtE

Changes in N content of leaf2/3 post anthesis (Hereward)

Timing and degree of N re-mobilisation depend upon:

• N-input• Genotype

Summary

• Surprising variation in NUE amongst elite wheats

• Variation in component traits

• Performance at different N inputs not always linked

• Segregation in Avalon x Cadenza population

• Candidate genes correlating with processes and indicative of sub-trait performance identified

• Validation of candidate genes required, via wider screening of germplasm (WGIN) and via transgenic proof of function
