Three leaf rust QTL and nine KASP markers to assist in breeding are described in Xu et al (2024) Characterization of quantitative trait loci for leaf rust resistance in the Uzbekistani wheat landrace Teremai Bugdai. Phytopathology. First Look
As always, all curated data is linked to the reference file PHY-2024-Xu
KASP markers, gene and allele records, and germplasm records with links to GRIN are available for:
PHY-113-1979 Xu et al (2023) Identification of a Novel Pm65 Allele Conferring a Wide Spectrum of Resistance to Powdery Mildew in Wheat Accession PI 351817. Phytopathology 113:1979
Triticum urartu (diploid, AA) is the progenitor of the A subgenome of tetraploid (Triticum turgidum, AABB) and hexaploid (Triticum aestivum, AABBDD) wheat. Genomic studies of T. urartu have been useful for investigating the structure, function and evolution of polyploid wheat genomes.
GrainGenes is working to provide a resource to reflect the growing collection of KASP primer sets developed to distinguish allele states of important traits in the small grains.
The journal article “Einkorn genomics sheds light on history of the oldest domesticated wheat” was published.
Key message: This manuscript describes a high quality genome of world oldest cultivated wheat "Einkorn wheat" and its potential in future wheat improvement.
Defining the locations of cM regions from the Oat-Consensus-2018 (2018 Mrg) map on the OT3098 v2 sequence
This genome browser track accompanies the article “One hundred years of comparative genetic and physical mapping in cultivated oat (Avena sativa L.)”, by Wight, et al. (2023) (under review).
Three new tracks have been added to the IWGSC Chinese Spring v1 genome browser aligning QTL and significant markers for salinity, pathology, and agronomic traits.
181 agronomic QTL were created from 354 marker-trait associations (MTAs) in Semagn et al. (2022) Genome-wide association mapping of agronomic traits and grain characteristics in spring wheat under conventional and organic management systems. Crop Science 62:1069 doi.org/10.1002/csc2.20739. MTAs within ~20MB of each other were combined into one 'QTL' for this curation.
GrainGenes has published a tutorial video describing three new BLAST interface features:
1) Selected Databass Box
2) Database Filters
3) Tooltip improvements
Graingenes genome browsers enhance grain research. It provides crosslinks from genes, transcripts, and other features to a variaty of useful external databases.
We have added a new video tutorial describing how to access the external cross-links, which we often refer to as link-outs.
Records in the Intl' Database contain a wealth of inheritance and mutation information, photos and descriptions of mutants, and comprehensive reference lists.
Example of GrainGenes records with new links are below:
