Description: Das Projekt "Allele mining in wild barley: finding new exotic genes which control flowering time in the barley nested association mapping (NAM) population HEB-25" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Institut für Agrar- und Ernährungswissenschaften, Professur für Pflanzenzüchtung durchgeführt. During the first phase of the priority program SPP1530, we have developed HEB-25 (Halle exotic barley), the first barley nested association mapping (NAM) population world-wide (Schnaithmann et al. 2014, Maurer et al. submitted). HEB-25 is ideally suited to study, both, biodiversity present in wild barley and to serve as a source of exotic alleles for barley breeding. So far, HEB-25 was genetically characterized with a 9k Infinium iSELECT chip and used to map novel as well as previously known QTLs/genes with high precision, which regulate FTi and other agronomic traits. By the start of the second SPP phase, the Pillen lab will have access to exome capture data of HEB-25, which will allow to align the allelic sequences of the 26 HEB parents for more than 20,000 high confidence barley gene models and to study their inheritance in HEB lines. The exome capture sequence data is also useful to define exotic haplotypes and to study their gene function in HEB-25 with a, so far, unmatched genetic resolution in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). During the second phase of the SPP, we aim to dig deeper into the wealth of functional diversity we previously identified in HEB-25. In this regard, we have set up the following three work packages (WP), which are jointly coordinated by Dr. Kumlehn and Prof. Pillen. WP 1: Cloning and characterizing exotic alleles of a novel FTi QTL. In WP 1, a novel HEB-25 QTL on chromosome 4H will be isolated and characterized, where the exotic barley donor alleles cause late flowering phenotypes across and within the 25 HEB families compared to the recipient parent Barke. By cloning newly identified exotic FTi QTL alleles, we will raise the understanding of FTi regulation to improve the genetic architecture of crop plants via knowledge based breeding. WP 2: Allele mining for exotic haplotypes of known FTi genes. In WP 2, barley transformants, stably over-expressing a set of 12 wild barley alleles of known functional FTi genes will be generated, which caused extreme early or late flowering phenotypes in HEB-25. Subsequently, FTi effects and additional pleiotropic effects of the selected transformants will be characterized in greenhouse and field experiments. By transformation of an elite barley genotype with functional wild barley alleles of approved FTi regulating genes, we will study modification of FTi towards crop improvement by altering the expression or function of individual genes either by genetic modification or by mutation. WP 3: HEB-YIELD: A crosstalk between FTi and abiotic stress tolerance in HEB-25. In WP 3, a set of 48 HEB lines will be selected, segregating at four important FTi genes (Ppd-H1, denso, Vrn-H1 and Vrn-H3). (abridged text)
