Genetic Analysis of Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight in Wheat (Triticum Spp.) Genetic analysis of resistance to Fusarium head blight in wheat (Triticum spp.) using phenotypic characters and molecular markers By Ali Malihipour A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of DOCTOR of PHILOSOPHY Department of Biological Sciences University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2010 by Ali Malihipour ABSTRACT Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused mainly by Fusarium graminearum (teleomorph: Gibberella zeae ), is one of the most damaging diseases of wheat. A ‘Brio’/‘TC 67’ spring wheat population was used to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance to FHB, and to study the association of morphological and developmental characteristics with FHB resistance. Interval mapping (IM) detected a major QTL on chromosome 5AL for resistance to disease severity (type II resistance) and Fusarium-damaged kernels (FDK) under greenhouse and field conditions, respectively. Inconsistent QTL(s) was also detected on chromosome 5BS for disease severity and index using field data . The associations of plant height and number of days to anthesis were negative with disease incidence, severity, index, and deoxynivalenol (DON) accumulation data under field conditions. However, number of days to anthesis was positively correlated with disease severity (greenhouse) and FDK (field). Awnedness had a negative effect on FHB, namely the presence of awns resulted in less disease in the population. Spike threshability also affected FHB so that the hard threshable genotypes represented lower disease. Phylogenetic relationships of putative F. graminearum isolates from different sources were characterized using Tri101 gene sequencing data. Canadian and Iranian isolates clustered in F. graminearum lineage 7 (=F. graminearum sensu stricto) within the F. graminearum clade while the isolates received from CIMMYT , Mexico were placed in F. graminearum lineage 3 (= Fusarium boothii ) within the Fg clade or Fusarium cerealis . The PCR assay based on the Tri12 gene revealed the presence of the NIV, 3- ADON, and 15-ADON chemotypes with 15-ADON being the predominant chemotype. I While we did not find the NIV chemotype among the Canadian isolates, it was the predominant chemotype among the Iranian isolates. High variation in aggressiveness was observed among and within Fusarium species tested, with the isolates of F. graminearum sensu stricto being the most aggressive and the NIV chemotype being the least aggressive. The interactions between Fusarium isolates and wheat genotypes from different sources were investigated by inoculating isolates of F. graminearum sensu stricto and F. boothii on wheat genotypes. Significant differences were observed among the genotypes inoculated by single isolates. Results also showed significant interactions between Fusarium isolates and wheat genotypes. The F. boothii isolates from CIMMYT produced low disease symptom and infection on wheat genotypes regardless of the origin of the genotypes while F. graminearum sensu stricto isolates from Canada and Iran resulted in higher FHB scores.

  • Using Linguistics to Reconstruct African Subsistence Systems: Comparing Crop Names to Trees and Livestock
    598 CHAPTER 19 USING LINGUISTICS TO RECONSTRUCT AFRICAN SUBSISTENCE SYSTEMS: COMPARING CROP NAMES TO TREES AND LIVESTOCK ROGER BLENCH To appear in: In: Rethinking Agriculture: Archaeological And Ethnoarchaeological Perspectives. T.P. Denham, J. Iriarte & L. Vrydaghs (eds.) California: Left Coast Press. Info at: http://www.bergpublishers.com/uk/book_page.asp?BKTitle=Rethinking%20Agriculture INTRODUCTION Reconstructing the history of agriculture in Africa, or indeed any area of the world where written documentation is sparse or non-existent, is inevitably a multi-disciplinary exercise. Although the volume of archaeobotanical data available for Africa is gradually increasing, coverage remains extremely patchy and concentrates on a few species, notably sorghum, millet and finger-millet (see review in Neumann 2003). It is safe to say that most plants cultivated in Africa today are nowhere represented in the repertoire of plant remains recovered from the archaeological record. In the case of domestic animals, particularly cattle, sheep, goats and chickens, the situation is marginally better, with some materials for most species in much of the continent (see individual reviews in Blench & Macdonald 2000). African arboriculture or the intentional planting of trees, an ancient characteristic of many agricultural systems in the Old World, is a poorly understood and little-documented area; linking the sparse archaeobotanical material from trees with present-day management systems has hardly begun. Indirect indicators of agriculture in the past and the present, such as agricultural tools, settlement patterns, field systems and animal pens, remain understudied. Two tools other than archaeology are available for the reconstruction of agrarian history; historical and comparative linguistics and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) studies.

The symposium, entitled “Rudolf Mansfeld and Plant Genetic Resources”, and dedicated to his life’s work and scientific legacy was co-organised by the Genetic Resources Section of the Gesellschaft für Pflanzenzüchtung (GPZ, Society for Plant Breeding), and the Gemeinschaft zur Förderung der Kulturpflanzenforschung in Gatersleben e.V. (Society for the Advancement of Cultivated Plant Research). Professor RUDOLF MANSFELD worked in Gatersleben between 1946 and 1960, and was the former head of the Department of “Systematik und Sortiment” (Systematics and World Collection of Cultivated Plants) of the former Institute of Cultivated Plant Research. He was a plant taxonomist from the famous Berlin school of ADOLF ENGLER, and he developed principles for the classification of cultivated plants.

  • GENETIC ANALYSIS of the GROUP IV Rht LOCI in WHEAT
    GENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE GROUP IV Rht LOCI IN WHEAT Edward Paul Wilhelm A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia John Innes Centre June 2011 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived there from, may be published without the author‟s prior, written consent ABSTRACT The introduction of the group IV semi-dwarf Rht alleles, Rht-B1b (formerly Rht1) and Rht-D1b (formerly Rht2) into bread wheat varieties from the donor line „Norin 10‟ that began in the 1960s was a major contributor to the „green revolution‟. Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b were characterised and cloned over a decade ago (Gale and Youssefian 1985; Peng et al. 1999), however the Rht- A1 locus has not been isolated and little is known regarding the genetic diversity of the group IV Rht loci or the genetic composition of the contiguous sequence surrounding Rht that was presumably introgressed into wheat varieties along with the dwarfing alleles. To investigate the contiguous region around Rht, a hexaploid wheat („Chinese Spring‟ (CS)) BAC library was screened using a PCR-based technique (Febrer et al. 2009). This identified several Rht-containing BAC clones, three of which (representing the A, B, and D genomes) were sequenced and found to contain one to two genes upstream of Rht in conserved order. Gene synteny was also highly conserved in rice, Brachypodium distachyon, sorghum, and maize.

Intraspecif ic classif ication of cultivated plants is necessary for the conservation of biological diversity, study of their origin and their phylogeny. The modern cultivated wheat species originated from three wild diploid ancestors as a result of several rounds of genome doubling and are represented by di-, tetra- and hexaploid species. The identif ication of wheat ploidy level is one of the main stages of their taxonomy. Such classif ication is possible based on visual analysis of the wheat spike traits. The aim of this study is to investigate the morphological charac- teristics of spikes for hexa- and tetraploid wheat species based on the method of high-performance phenotyping. Phenotyping of the quantitative characteristics of the spike of 17 wheat species (595 plants, 3348 images), including eight tetraploids (Triticum aethiopicum, T.
