  • Pedigrees and Karyotypes Pedigree
    Pedigrees and Karyotypes Pedigree A pedigree shows the relationships within a family and it helps to chart how one gene can be passed on from generation to generation. Pedigrees are tools used by genetic researchers or counselors to identify a genetic condition running through a family, they aid in making a diagnosis, and aid in determining who in the family is at risk for genetic conditions. On a pedigree: A circle represents a female A square represents a male A horizontal line connecting a male and female represents a marriage A vertical line and a bracket connect the parents to their children A circle/square that is shaded means the person HAS the trait. A circle/square that is not shaded means the person does not have the trait. Children are placed from oldest to youngest. A key is given to explain what the trait is.

Breeding for disease resistance is the preferred strategy of managing both diseases. The continued emergence of new races of Pt and Pst requires a constant search for new sources of resistance. Winter wheat accessions were evaluated at seedling stage in the greenhouse with races of Pt and Pst that are predominant in the North Central US. Association mapping approach was performed on landrace accessions to identify new or underutilized sources of resistance to Pt and Pst. The majority of the accessions were susceptible to all the five races of Pt and one race of Pst. Association mapping studies identified 29 and two SNP markers associated with seedling resistance to leaf rust and stripe rust, respectively.

  • Quantification of Genetic Relationships Among a Genomes of Wheats
    297 Quantification of genetic relationships among A genomes of wheats A. Brandolini, P. Vaccino, G. Boggini, H. Özkan, B. Kilian, and F. Salamini Abstract: The genetic relationships of A genomes of Triticum urartu (Au) and Triticum monococcum (Am) in polyploid wheats are explored and quantified by AFLP fingerprinting. Forty-one accessions of A-genome diploid wheats, 3 of AG-genome wheats, 19 of AB-genome wheats, 15 of ABD-genome wheats, and 1 of the D-genome donor Ae. tauschii have been analysed. Based on 7 AFLP primer combinations, 423 bands were identified as potentially A genome spe- cific. The bands were reduced to 239 by eliminating those present in autoradiograms of Ae. tauschii, bands interpreted as common to all wheat genomes. Neighbour-joining analysis separates T. urartu from T. monococcum. Triticum urartu has the closest relationship to polyploid wheats. Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccum and T. turgidum subsp. durum lines are included in tightly linked clusters. The hexaploid spelts occupy positions in the phylogenetic tree intermediate be- tween bread wheats and T. turgidum. The AG-genome accessions cluster in a position quite distant from both diploid and other polyploid wheats. The estimates of similarity between A genomes of diploid and polyploid wheats indicate that, compared with Am,Au has around 20% higher similarity to the genomes of polyploid wheats. Triticum timo- pheevii AG genome is molecularly equidistant from those of Au and Am wheats. Key words: A genome, Triticum, genetic relationships, AFLP.

The cytogenetics of the Proconiini remains largely unexplored. We studied males of Tapajosa rubromarginata (Signoret) collected at El Manantial (Tucumán, Argentina) on native spontaneous vegetation where Sorghum halepense predominates. Conventional cytogenetic techniques were used in order to describe the karyotype and male meiosis of this sharpshooter. T. rubromarginata has a male karyological formula of 2n=21 and a sex chromosome system XO:XX ( : ). The chromosomes do not have a primary constriction, being holokinetic and the meiosis is pre-reductional, showing similar behavior both for autosomes and sex chromosomes during anaphase I.

  • Detection of Ancient Genome Duplications in Several Flowering Plant
    DETECTION OF ANCIENT GENOME DUPLICATIONS IN SEVERAL FLOWERING PLANT LINEAGES AND SYNTE-MOLECULAR COMPARISON OF HOMOLOGOUS REGIONS by JINGPING LI (Under the Direction of Andrew H. Paterson) ABSTRACT Flowering plants have evolved through repeated ancient genome duplications (or paleo- polyploidies) for ~200 million years, a character distinct from other eukaryotic lineages. Paleo-duplicated genomes returned to diploid heredity by means of extensive sequence loss and rearrangement. Therefore repeated paleo-polyploidies have left multiple homeologs (paralogs produced in genome duplication) and complex networks of homeology in modern flowering plant genomes. In the first part of my research three paleo-polyploidy events are discussed. The Solanaceae “T” event was a hexaploidy making extant Solanaceae species rare as having derived from two successive paleo-hexaploidies. The Gossypium “C” event was the first paleo-(do)decaploidy identified. The sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) was the first sequenced basal eudicot, which has a lineage-specific “λ” paleo-tetraploidy and one of the slowest lineage evolutionary rates. In the second part I describe a generalized method, GeDupMap, to simultaneously infer multiple paleo-polyploidy events on a phylogeny of multiple lineages. Based on such inferences the program systematically organizes homeologous regions between pairs of genomes into groups of orthologous regions, enabling synte-molecular analyses (molecular comparison on synteny backbone) and graph representation. Using 8 selected eudicot and monocot
