Journal ArticleDOI
A Two-Part Strategy for Using Genomic Selection to Develop Inbred Lines
R. Chris Gaynor,Gregor Gorjanc,Alison R. Bentley,Eric S. Ober,Phil Howell,Robert Jackson,Ian Mackay,John M. Hickey +7 more
TL;DR: A strategy for implementing genomic selection in plant breeding programs for developing inbred lines that reorganizes traditional breeding programs into two distinct components is proposed, indicating that the two-part strategy is a cost-effective strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homoeologous loci control the accumulation of seed glucosinolates in oilseed rape (Brassica napus).
TL;DR: Comparison of genetic maps of QTLs controlling seed glucosinolate accumulation demonstrated that high-glucos inolate varieties often carry low-glaucoma alleles at one or more of the loci controlling seed glucose accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applying association mapping and genomic selection to the dissection of key traits in elite European wheat
Alison R. Bentley,Marco Scutari,N. Gosman,Sébastien Faure,Felicity Bedford,Phil Howell,James Cockram,Gemma A. Rose,Tobias E. S. Barber,Jose Irigoyen,Richard Horsnell,Claire Pumfrey,Emma Winnie,Johannes Schacht,Katia Beauchene,Sébastien Praud,Andy Greenland,David J. Balding,Ian Mackay +18 more
TL;DR: The application of association mapping and genomic selection for key breeding targets using a large panel of elite winter wheat varieties and a large volume of agronomic data suggests that whilst AM offers potential for application in both research and breeding, GS represents an exciting opportunity to select key traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards developing intervarietal substitution lines in Brassica napus using marker-assisted selection.
TL;DR: A general strategy for the rapid production of substitution lines was developed and involved the systematic application of marker-assisted selection over 2-4 generations of backcrossing to elucidate the genetic control of quantitative production traits in oilseed rape over several environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contributions of disease resistance and escape to the control of septoria tritici blotch of wheat.
L. S. Arraiano,N. Balaam,Paul Fenwick,C. Chapman,D. Feuerhelm,Phil Howell,S. J. Smith,J. P. Widdowson,James K. M. Brown +8 more
TL;DR: Several lines, notably cvs Pastiche and Exsept, had low mean levels of STB which could not be explained by either escape traits or specific resistance genes, implying that they have unknown genes for partial resistance to STB.
