Improvement of common bunt and dwarf bunt resistance in bread wheat by systematic use of genetic variation - Julius Kühn-Institut Bundesforschungsinstitut für Kulturpflanzen
Project
Project code: 2822OE027
Contract period: 15.09.2023
- 31.08.2028
Budget: 400,293 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: crop production, genetic resources, climate change adaptation, plant genetic resources, plant diseases (virusus, bacteria, fungi, phytoplasma), plant breeding, wheat, organic farming
The aim is to increase and consolidate/stabilize the resistance to dwarf bunt and common bunt of wheat in order to enable infestation-free cultivation without prior seed dressing. in addition, a better understanding of the interaction of bunts with already known resistance genes in wheat is to be achieved through experiments with varieties that express such genes individually. Previously unused/unknown resistances should be identified from gene bank collections and localized in the wheat genome. With the help of molecular markers, previously unused resistances can be crossed into varieties by breeding. The prerequisite for this is knowledge about the inheritance of bunt resistance, and at the same time the use of extensive genomically characterized material. Through the creation of a microNAM population in the project, the genetic positions of the underlying resistance genes can be precisely detected within the framework of innovative mapping approaches. The development of specific markers is to be made possible. Such markers enable breeding companies to accelerate the use of resistance genes in varieties.
