Browder Lewis Eugene Browder, 89, of Leonard, Texas, formerly with the USDA–ARS Wheat Research Unit in Manhattan, KS, died Saturday, 28 November, 2015; at the Leonard Manor. Lewis was born 29 January, 1932, in Harmon County, OK, the son of Benjamin Carroll and Fannie Ethel Overall Browder. He was married Zada Lea Thompson. Dr. Browder was passionate about serving others by helping them grow more wheat. Lewis grew up on a farm in Harmon County, Oklahoma, the epicenter of the Dust Bowl, and had many interesting stories of that life. His parents were proud to send their youngest to college: Cameron University, Oklahoma State University, and then Kansas State University, where he earned his PhD. He travelled to China, Egypt, and Eastern Europe to help researchers there and was among the first to computerize wheat disease research. Dr. Browder was a part of the USDA–ARS at Kansas State University from 1958 to 1988. Lewis also was passionate about serving others in any other ways he could, from preaching in rural churches, visiting friends in nursing homes, to baking muffins for everyone he knew. He married Zada on 19 December, 1954. Lewis and Zada lived in Manhattan, KS, from 1958 to 2012, when they moved to Leonard, TX. He served as a deacon in the Manhattan, KS, Church of Christ and was currently a member of the Leonard Church of Christ. Lewis is survived by his wife, Zada; daughter Judy Shaw of Leonard, TX; sons Kelly J. Browder of Albuquer- que, NM, and Timothy J. ‘TJ’ Bowder of Topeka, KS; granddaughters Whitney E. Shaw of Carrollton, TX, and Janie L. Holland of Franklin, TN; grandsons Benjamin E. Shaw of Beijing, China, Andrew F. Browder of Kansas City, MO, and Timothy J. ‘TJ’ Browder of Topeka, KS; and numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial service was held 5 December, 2015, in Leonard, TX. 1 A n n u a l W h e a t N e w s l e t t e r V o l. 6 2.

BOZHANOVA and D. DECHEV Field Crops Institute, BG - 6200 Chirpan, Bulgaria Abstract HADZHIIVANOVA, B., V. BOZHANOVA and D. DECHEV, 2012. Interspecific hybridization between durum wheat and Aegilops umbellulata (Zhuk.). Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 18: 713-721 The possibility for obtaining of interspecific hybrids between three durum wheat genotypes (Triticum durum, 2n = 4x = 28, AABB genomes) and one accession of Aegilops umbellulata (2n = 2x = 18, UU genome) during two different seasons has been studied. A low crossability rate of 3% average for all genotypes over two years was achieved. The observed variation of crossability is due to a greatest extent to the genotype of durum wheat parent with 82.91% from total variation. Hybrid plants were obtained only by means of embryo rescue method. The ability for in vitro regeneration was still independent of crossability of used durum wheat genotypes. All received F1 hybrids plants were identical they exhibited good tillering ability and manifested traits from both parents. In spite of the observed partially fertility in F1 hybrids between durum wheat and Aegilops umbellulata no germination of the hybrid seeds was ascertained. BC1 seeds were obtained from F1 hybrids of hybrid combination Beloslava × Aegilops umbellulata after backcrossing to the durum wheat parent. An increase of crossability with advancing of backcross progenies – from 1.6% in BC1 hybrids to 26.2% in BC2 hybrids has been found. Meiotic abnormalities including dyads and triads at the end of microsporogenesis as well as uninucleate microspores with a different shape and size were observed suggesting production of unreduced gametes in this cross.

In this study, plants growing on the walls of Alanya Castle were identified and the damages that these plants gave to the historical construction and the precautions to be taken to prevent these damages were emphasized. A total of 94 plant taxa, including five pteridophytes, one gymnosperm and 88 angiosperms, belonging to 35 families were identified on the walls of Alanya Castle. Conyza canadensis, Inula heterolepis, Phagnalon graecum, Arabis verna, Mercurialis annua, Fumaria parviflora, Cymbalaria microcalyx, Galium canum subsp. antalyense, Parietaria judaica, Hyoscyamus aureus, Poa bulbosa were the dominant plant species of Alanya Castle walls. Possible seed dispersion of these plants on the castle walls and the methods for controlling them are discussed in detail. We conclude that the most effective method of combating plants that grow naturally on historical buildings and give damage to these buildings is mechanical excavation.

  • Genotype-By-Sequencing Facilitates Genetic Mapping of a Stem Rust Resistance Locus in Aegilops Umbellulata, a Wild Relative of Cultivated Wheat Erena A
    Edae et al. BMC Genomics (2016) 17:1039 DOI 10.1186/s12864-016-3370-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genotype-by-sequencing facilitates genetic mapping of a stem rust resistance locus in Aegilops umbellulata, a wild relative of cultivated wheat Erena A. Edae1*, Pablo D. Olivera2, Yue Jin1,2, Jesse A. Poland3 and Matthew N. Rouse1,2* Abstract Background: Wild relatives of wheat play a significant role in wheat improvement as a source of genetic diversity. Stem rust disease of wheat causes significant yield losses at the global level and stem rust pathogen race TTKSK (Ug99) is virulent to most previously deployed resistance genes. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify loci conferring resistance to stem rust pathogen races including Ug99 in an Aegilops umbelluata bi-parental mapping population using genotype-by-sequencing (GBS) SNP markers. Results: A bi-parental F2:3 population derived from a cross made between stem rust resistant accession PI 298905 and stem rust susceptible accession PI 542369 was used for this study. F2 individuals were evaluated with stem rust race TTTTF followed by testing F2:3 families with races TTTTF and TTKSK. The segregation pattern of resistance to both stem rust races suggested the presence of one resistance gene. A genetic linkage map, comprised 1,933 SNP markers, was created for all seven chromosomes of Ae. umbellulata using GBS. A major stem rust resistance QTL that explained 80% and 52% of the phenotypic variations for TTTTF and TTKSK, respectively, was detected on chromosome 2U of Ae. umbellulata. Conclusion: The novel resistance gene for stem rust identified in this study can be transferred to commercial wheat varieties assisted by the tightly linked markers identified here.

Printed in Brazil www.sbg.org.br Research Article Sequence diversity and copy number variation of Mutator-like transposases in wheat Nobuaki Asakura1, Shinya Yoshida2, Naoki Mori3, Ichiro Ohtsuka1 and Chiharu Nakamura3 1Laboratory of Biology, Faculty of Engineering, Kanagawa University, Yokohama, Japan. 2Hyogo Institute of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries, Kasai, Japan. 3Laboratory of Plant Genetics, Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Kobe University, Kobe, Japan. Abstract Partial transposase-coding sequences of Mutator-like elements (MULEs) were isolated from a wild einkorn wheat, Triticum urartu, by degenerate PCR. The isolated sequences were classified into a MuDR or Class I clade and di- vided into two distinct subclasses (subclass I and subclass II). The average pair-wise identity between members of both subclasses was 58.8% at the nucleotide sequence level. Sequence diversity of subclass I was larger than that of subclass II. DNA gel blot analysis showed that subclass I was present as low copy number elements in the genomes of all Triticum and Aegilops accessions surveyed, while subclass II was present as high copy number ele- ments. These two subclasses seemed uncapable of recognizing each other for transposition. The number of copies of subclass II elements was much higher in Aegilops with the S, Sl and D genomes and polyploid Triticum species than in diploid Triticum with the A genome, indicating that active transposition occurred in S, Sl and D genomes be- fore polyploidization. DNA gel blot analysis of six species selected from three subfamilies of Poaceae demonstrated that only the tribe Triticeae possessed both subclasses.

    Okada et al. BMC Plant Biology (2018) 18:271 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-018-1498-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access RNA-seq analysis reveals considerable genetic diversity and provides genetic markers saturating all chromosomes in the diploid wild wheat relative Aegilops umbellulata Moeko Okada1,KentaroYoshida1* , Ryo Nishijima1,AsamiMichikawa1, Yuka Motoi2, Kazuhiro Sato2 and Shigeo Takumi1 Abstract Background: Aegilops umbellulata Zhuk. (2n = 14), a wild diploid wheat relative, has been the source of trait improvement in wheat breeding. Intraspecific genetic variation of Ae. umbellulata, however, has not been well studied and the genomic information in this species is limited. Results: To develop novel genetic markers distributed over all chromosomes of Ae. umbellulata and to evaluate its genetic diversity, we performed RNA sequencing of 12 representative accessions and reconstructed transcripts by de novo assembly of reads for each accession. A large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions (indels) were obtained and anchored to the pseudomolecules of Ae. tauschii and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), which were regarded as virtual chromosomes of Ae. umbellulata. Interestingly, genetic diversity in Ae. umbellulata was higher than in Ae. tauschii, despite the narrow habitat of Ae. umbellulata. Comparative analyses of nucleotide polymorphisms between Ae. umbellulata and Ae. tauschii revealed no clear lineage differentiation and existence of alleles with rarer frequencies predominantly in Ae. umbellulata, with patterns clearly distinct from those in Ae. tauschii. Conclusions: The anchored SNPs, covering all chromosomes, provide sufficient genetic markers between Ae. umbellulata accessions. The alleles with rarer frequencies might be the main source of the high genetic diversity in Ae.

Using Inter- Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) Markers Mohammed Chekara Bouziani1, 2, 3*, Sakina Bechkri3, Ines Bellil3, Douadi Khelifi3 1 Faculty of Natural Sciences and Life, Ferhat Abbas University, Setif 1, Algeria. 2 Faculty of Exact Sciences and Natural Sciences and Life, Oum El Bouaghi University, Algeria. 3 Laboratory of Genetic Biochemistry and Plant Biotechnology, Constantine 1 University, Algeria. ABSTRACT The genetic polymorphism of thirty Aegilops ventricosa Tausch. accessions sampled from northern Algeria was evaluated using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers (into 5’). Six reproducible primers were used, and 53 out of 62 amplified distinct bands were found with a high score of polymorphism (87.48%). A significant number of specific bands was identified which were useful for genotyping. The majority of ISSR primers showed important resolving power with an average of 10.86, reflecting high informative markers tested in this investigation. SIMQUAL coefficient was used to calculate the genetic similarity among the 30 accessions. This similarity ranged from 0.5806 to 1. Based on Unweighted Pair-Group Method using Arithmetic Averages (UPGMA) method, a dendrogram was established to assess the intraspecific relationships via the genetic distances between the 30 accessions. The ISSR results showed a high variability in the studied collection. These markers could be efficiently applied to estimate the genetic diversity in the Ae. venticosa or others species in the Aegilpos genus. Keywords: Aegilops ventricosa Tausch., Genetic diversity, ISSR markers, Northern Algeria.
