Research Project: Uniform Nursery for Srww and Breeding Scab Resistant Varieties for Ohio

Location:

Project Number: 500-53-002-27
Project Type: Grant

Start Date: Jul 06, 2004
End Date: Jul 05, 2005

Objective:
Use molecular markers to ensure that exotic alleles are moved into SRWW varieties. Investigate the segregation for FHB resistance in crosses between moderately resistant SRWW lines and combine selection and marker analyses to suggest the location of the resistance genes.

Approach:
Screen SRWW lines that are candidates for release for resistance to FHB. Evaluate the effect of exotic QTL alleles for FHB resistance in SWW genetic backgrounds. Coordinate a uniform nursery for evaluating FHB reaction in SWW adapted to the northern US. Map and evaluate MAS for FHB resistance QTL alleles from Frontana. Evaluate segregation and selection for FHB resistance in crosses of moderately resistant SWW cultivars and tag QTLs.
