Research Project:
WHEAT APPLIED GENOMICS
Location: Plant Science and Entomology Research
Project Number: 5430-21000-006-05
Project Type:
Reimbursable
Start Date: Dec 01, 2005
End Date: Nov 30, 2008
Objective:
Using genomics tool to 1) screen agronomically important wheat traits in
hard winter wheat from five breeding programs in southern Great Plains,
2) speed up process of incorporation of important genes into commercial
wheat cultivars and shorten cultivar release time, and 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 plan, map QTL for
agronomically important traits, and identify high-throughput markers for
traits of breeders' interest and use them for marker-assisted selection.
