Double Haploid Production in crop plants

Updated:

Double haploid (DH) production is a technique used in plant breeding to produce pure breeding lines quickly. Typically, a haploid plant (with half the usual number of chromosomes) is generated, often through the manipulation of the plant’s reproductive processes, such as through tissue culture techniques. These haploid plants are then induced to double their chromosome number, resulting in a double haploid plant with a complete set of chromosomes from a single parent. This process essentially bypasses the need for repeated rounds of selfing or inbreeding to create homozygous lines, accelerating the breeding process. DH lines are particularly useful in plant breeding programs aiming for the development of new cultivars with desirable traits.

Quantitative Genetics for Plant Breeding

Updated:

Quantitative genetics delves into the intricate inheritance patterns of complex traits governed by multiple genes and environmental factors. Unlike Mendelian genetics, which focuses on discrete traits controlled by single genes, quantitative genetics navigates the continuous variation observed in traits like yield, disease resistance, and quality. Through concepts like polygenic inheritance, additive genetic variance, and genotype-environment interactions, it elucidates the genetic architecture underlying these traits. Heritability, a key metric, gauges the extent to which genetic factors contribute to phenotypic variation, guiding breeding strategies for crop improvement. Methods such as genetic mapping and marker-assisted selection harness this understanding to expedite the development of superior crop varieties. Ultimately, quantitative genetics equips breeders with the tools to navigate the complexity of crop improvement and address global challenges in agriculture and food security.

talks

SNP chip based High-Density Linkage Map and its Application to QTL Mapping of nitrogen uptake and utilization in Bread Wheat

Updated:

In this talk I discuss about the development of linkage map in PBW 677 x PBW 703 derived RIL population. I also discussed about our newly developed pipeline using R/qtl and ASMap how to correct for genotyping errors in genotyping-by-sequencing derived SNPs. Also, talked about the validity, accuracy and comparison of the developed linkage map with newly developed genome assembly of wheat. Lastly, discuss the application of linkage map in identifying QTLs for NUE.
