Research Project:
WHEAT APPLIED GENOMICS
Location: Plant Science and Entomology Research
Project Number: 5430-21000-006-06
Project Type:
Specific Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 01, 2006
End Date: May 31, 2009
Objective:
Using genomics tools to: 1) screen agronomically important wheat traits in hard winter wheat from five breeding programs in southern Great Plains using available molecular markers, 2) speed up process of incorporation of important genes into commercial wheat cultivars and shorten cultivar development, and 3) identify QTL for important wheat traits and associated markers for marker-assisted selection.
Approach:
Use of high throughput molecular marker technology to identify desirable genes from breeding materials, haplotype breeding parents and provide useful information to help breeders to make breeding plans, map QTL for agronomically important traits, and identify high-throughput markers for traits of breeders' interest and use them for marker-assisted selection.
