Gebruik van genetiese manlike steriliteit in herhalende seleksie met koring (Triticum aestivum)Botes, Willem Cornelus 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScAgric.)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In cross pollinated crops, recurrent selection is used to increase the frequency of desirable
alleles by breaking up existing linkage blocks and forming new gene combinations. Despite
promising results from numerous feasibility studies, recurrent selection is seldom routinely
used in wheat. A major obstacle has been the inability to readily achieve random
interbreeding of large numbers of selected plants. In China the Taigu genetic male sterility
gene, Ms2, has however been used to establish a recurrent selection programme in which field
grown male sterile plants were pollinated by selected male fertile plants (Huang et al., 1988).
Another dominant gene for male sterility, Ms3, was found after EMS treatment of the seeds
of an alloplasmie common wheat with Triticum tauschii cytoplasm (Maan et al., 1984) and is
located at 3 map units from the centromere on chromosome arm SAS (Maan et al., 1987). In
a study done during 1999 at Welgevallen to determine the frequency of natural intererossing
under field conditions, Ms3 showed incomplete penetrance and only about two thirds of the
seed set on male sterile plants could be attributed to intercrossing. Ms3 has stable expression
in plants grown within the normal range of greenhouse temperatures for wheat, 16 - 2SoC.
Under warmer field conditions, 21 - 3SoC, its penetrance is, however, incomplete (Maan et
al., 1984). The utility of Ms3 under field conditions is therefore unsatisfactory.
An attempt to determine the location and origin of an unknown male sterility gene, found
in cross 9SK3 of a routine breeding programme, showed that a single locus was not the cause
of the male sterility. Chromosome abnormalities and gene imbalances were probably to
blame. The male sterility probably relates to a T.urartu addition chromosome in the pedigree
of cross 9SK3.
To facilitate the production of large numbers of hybrid progeny, a simple hydroponic
system was developed in which male sterile tillers cut at the flowering stage can be pollinated
and maintained for about 8 weeks, long enough to produce viable seeds. For pollination,
florets on male tillers are cut open and placed in a container with a similar number of pollen
shedding male tillers.
It was found that cut tillers could be maintained in the hydroponic system as long as certain
precautions were met: (a) The tillers must be handled with care so as not to damage the flag
leaf which must be maintained for as long as period possible. (b) The tillers have a nutrient
requirement and a 20% solution showed the best results of the nutrient solutions tested. (c)
The sterilizing effect of Jik at O.OS%gave excellent fungal control en helped to sustain the nutrient solution. (d) Although the treatment of tillers with hormones improved seed quality,
it was not justified by the additional inputs required.
Different selection strategies were used for male and female plants. At the onset of the
recurrent selection programme in 1998, a total of 1881 plants were tested for seedling
resistance and 597 plants were selected for use as parents and source material for 1999. In
total 158 male sterile and 188 male fertile ears were used in the hydroponic pollination and a
63.47% seed set was obtained, resulting in 3410 seeds, forming the 1999 female component.
One hundred and fifty seven F2:96K109plants were selected from a field grown population in
1998. These, together with 44 selections from a pedigree programme, formed the male
component for 1999. In total 9564 plants were tested for seedling resistance during 1999. A
total of 3230 resistant seedling were selected and planted. Again male fertile plants from the
previous season were field planted and selected. The selected plants were subjected to
mixograph testing. A total of 448 male sterile and 1020 male fertile ears were used for
hydroponic pollination. Approximately 12000 seeds were harvested, the seed set being
around 75%. The 157 F2:96K109 field selected plants (1999) and 64 selections from a
pedigree programme formed the male component for 2000. Seedling resistance testing during
2000 included a total of 6465 plants and 2832 were selected and planted. The hydroponic
system was improved during 2000 with new, larger capacity containers being used which
improved cross pollination. In total 878 male sterile tillers and 1016 male fertile tillers were
cut and intercrossed. In total 25380 seeds were harvested, the seed set being 81.7%.
In an attempt to determine the amount of variation within the 157 F2-families selected
during 1999, mixograph testing was performed. The data showed variation among families.
Seedling resistance testing for leaf and stem rust was performed on the 1999 and 2000 FIs to
determine the variation for resistance within the populations. Both populations showed high
level of stem rust resistance but lower levels of leaf rust resistance (± 50%).
Ms3 can thus be used in combination with hydroponic tiller culture to facilitate recurrent
selection. Integration with an excisting pedigree selection programme is viable and requires
little additional input. Some of the these results have already been published (Addendum D). / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Herhalende seleksie word by kruisbestuiwers aangewend om die frekwensie voordelige
allele te verhoog deur die opbreek van bestaande koppelingsblokke en vorming van nuwe
geen-kombinasies. Hoewel uitstekende resultate m.b.V.herhalende seleksie reeds by koring
verkry is, is die roetine aanwending egter beperk weens die gebrek aan effektiewe
kruisbestuiwing van groot getalle plante. In China is "Taigu" genetiese manlike steriliteit,
Ms2, egter met sukses aangewend vir die vestiging van 'n herhalende seleksieprogram vir
landverboude koring. Die manlik-vrugbare plante word vir die bestuiwing van geselekteerde
manlik-steriele plante aangewend (Huang et al., 1988).
Nog 'n dominante manlike steriliteitsgeen, Ms3, is ontdek na EMS behandeling van sade
afkomstig vanaf 'n alloplasmiese gewone koring met 'n Triticum tauschii sitoplasma (Maan et
al., 1984) en is gesetelop chromosoom 5AS, 3 kaarteenhede vanaf die sentromeer (Maan et
al., 1987). 'n Ondersoek na die frekwensie natuurlike kruisbestuiwing onder landtoestande
(Welgevallen, 1999) het getoon dat onvolledige penetrasie van Ms3 lei tot ongeveer 5%
selfbestuiwing en dat slegs twee-derdes van die saadset aan kruisbestuiwing toegeskryf kon
word. Ms3 word wel stabiel uitgedruk onder normale glashuistemperature tydens blom nl. 16
- 25°C, maar onder warmer landtoestande, 21 - 35°C, is uitdrukking onstabiel met laer
penetrasie van die geen (Maan et al., 1984). Die benutbaarheid van Ms3 onder landtoestande
was dus onbevredigend.
Die ondersoek na die oorsprong en ligging van 'n onbekende, manlike steriliteitsgeen
(95K3) wat ontdek is in 'n roetine teelprogram het daarop gedui dat 'n enkellokus
waarskynlik me ter sprake is nie, maar eerder chromosoom-abnormaliteite en
geenwanbalanse. Die manlike steriliteit kan verband hou met 'n T urartu addisie
chromosoom in die stamboom van hierdie bron.
Ten einde kruisbestuiwing van 'n groot aantal plante te bewerkstellig, is 'n eenvoudige
bestuiwersisteem ontwikkel gegrond op waterkultuurkweking van afgeknipte manlik-steriele
(Ms3ms3), are. Manlik-steriele en manlik-vrugbare are is tydens blom geknip. Die manliksteriele
are se blommetjies is oopgeknip en toegelaat om deur die manlik-vrugbare are bestuif
te word. Die bestuifde manlik-steriele are (Ms3ms3) is hierna vir ongeveer 8 weke gelaat vir
saadvorming.
Afgeknipte are kan baie suksesvol in voedingsmedium onderhou word mits sekere
eenvoudige voorsorgmaatreëls getref word, naamlik: (a) Die are moet met sorg hanteer word
en die vlagblaar moet so lank as moontlik behou word. Are moet weekliks teruggeknip word
ten einde verstopping en agteruitgang van vaatweefsel teen te werk. Die oorspronklik- afgeknipte halm is dus belangrik. (b) Die are toon 'n definitiewe voedingsbehoefte en 'n 20%
voedingsoplossing was die beste van die oplossings wat getoets is. Die voedingsoplossing
moet verkieslik weekliks vervang word wanneer are teruggeknip word. Op die tydstip
behoort die houers met 'n steriliseringsmiddel gewas te word vir die verwydering van enige
moontlike swamgroei aan die houers se wande. (c) Jik was die beter steriliseringsmiddel en
het teen 0.05% toediening goeie swaminhibering bewerkstellig. (d) Hormone is nie in die
roetinetoepassing gebruik nie aangesien die voordeel hiervan nie die ekstra insette regverdig
nie.
Verskillende strategieë is aangewend vir die seleksie van manlike en vroulike plante. Met
die aanvang van die herhalende seleksieprogram in 1998 is 'n totaal van 1881 plante getoets
vir roesweerstand en 597 geselekteer as bronmateriaal vir 1999. In totaal is 158 manliksteriele
en 188 manlik-vrugbare are gebruik in die bestuiwersisteem vir die verkryging van
die 1999 vroulike komponent. 'n Totaal van 3410 sade is verkry met 'n 63.47% saadset.
Tesame met 157 F2:96KI09 landgeselekteerde plante is 44 seleksies vanuit 'n stamboom
seleksieprogram gebruik as manlike komponent in 1999. Gedurende 1999 is 9564 plante
getoets vir roesweerstand en 3230 geselekteer en geplant. Weereens het landseleksie
plaasgevind. Die 157 seleksies is onderwerp aan miksograaf-toetsing. Vierhonderd agt- en -
veertig manlik-steriele en 1020 manlik-vrugbare are is gebruik in die bestuiwersisteem.
Ongeveer 12138 sade is geoes, teen 'n 75% saadset. Gedurende 2000 is die sade asook 64
seleksies uit 'n stamboom seleksieprogram aangewend as die manlike komponent.
Roestoetsing is weereens in 2000 uitgevoer en 6465 plante is geïnokuleer waaruit 2832 plante
geselekteer en geplant is. Die bestuiwersisteem is aangepas vir die hantering van groter
aantalle are tydens 2000 en in totaal is 878 manlik-steriele are en 'n 1016 manlik-vrugbare are
gebruik vir kruisbestuiwing. Die saadset is verhoog na 81.7% en 25380 sade is verkry.
Om die hoeveelheid variasie binne die populasie te bepaal, is miksograaftoetsing op die
1999 F2-populasie uitgevoer. Die data het aangetoon dat groot hoeveelhede genetiese variasie
beskikbaar is binne die populasie. Roestoetsing van die 1999- en 2000-bestuiwerpopulasies is
ook uitgevoer om 'n indikasie te verkry van die verspreiding van weerstand teen blaar- en
starnroes. Die blaamoes het 'n relatief lae vlak van weerstand getoon (± 50%) terwyl die
stamroesweerstand baie hoë vlakke gehandhaaf het.
Ms3 kan dus gebruik word om in kombinasie met waterkultuurkweking van gesnyde
halms, 'n herhalende seleksieprogram van stapel te stuur. Integrasie met 'n bestaande
stamboom seleksieprogram is ook moontlik en sal relatief min addisionele insette vereis. 'n

Initiation of a pre-breeding programme for enhancing genetic resistance against wheat rustDe Groot, Stephan 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Plant diseases are among the major causes of food insecurity. In South Africa the wheat fungal
diseases including stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, leaf rust caused by P.
triticina and stripe rust caused by P. striiformis f. sp. tritici are the most important. Genetic
resistance is a viable way of protecting wheat crops against the wheat rusts, especially cultivars
carrying multiple genes that confer durable resistance. In order to breed for multi-gene resistance an
effective breeding strategy that allows for selecting multiple resistance genes and other desirable
traits needs to be devised.
The aim of this study was to identify a number of genotypes with combinations of different rust
resistance genes, good grain yield and end-use quality out of an existing pre-breeding population
and thereby identify superior parents. In order to achieve the stated aim the following objectives
have been identified: identify wheat lines through marker-assisted selection (MAS) carrying the
gene complexes, Sr31/Lr26/Yr9, Lr24/Sr24, Lr37/Sr38/Yr17, Lr34/Yr18 and Sr2; to develop inbred
lines to evaluate selected lines under field trials.
From the initial subset of 64 lines, 60 were chosen and advanced to the doubled haploid (DH) phase
and seed multiplication. The 60 lines either carried one or more of the three rust resistance gene
complexes. The genes that were the most prominent were Sr31/Lr26/Yr9 and Lr24/Sr24. The
selected lines were incorporated into a DH seed multiplication phase. After 4 cycles of seed
increases and preliminary field evaluation during multiplication, 15 lines were chosen and subjected
to multi-location field trails.
The extensive multi-location field trails carried out in this study aided in identifying genotypes from
the 15 MS-MARS lines with good adaptability and stability in regards to yield and baking quality.
An important observation was that the molecular markers employed to indentify quality loci
correlated well with the genes encoding the HMW-GS 5, 10 and 12 as observed with the Agilent©
2100 Bioanalyzer.
In future studies the lines which performed the best could be re-introduced into the existing MSMARS
pre-breeding programme of the Stellenbosch University’s Plant Breeding Laboratory (SUPBL).
The frequencies of desired alleles could be increased in this manner. Since the majority of
these characteristics are influenced by quantitatively inherited alleles, using these lines as recurrent parents will increase the frequencies of these alleles in the existing SU-PBL pre-breeding
population. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Plantsiektes is van die belangrikste oorsake van voedselonsekerheid ter wêreld. In Suid-Afrika is
die roesswamme van die belangrikste plantsiektes wat koring produksie beïnvloed. Hierdie siektes
sluit in, stamroes wat veroorsaak word deur Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, blaarroes wat
veroorsaak word deur P. triticina en streeproes wat veroorsaak word deur P. striiformis f. sp. tritici.
Genetiese weerstand is ‘n uitstekende manier om koring te beskerm teen hierdie swamsiektes.
Weerstand wat gebasseer is op veelvuldige weerstandsgene is veral ‘n goeie middel om genetieseweerstand
op ‘n volhoubare basis in koringteling toe te pas. Om veelvuldige weerstandsgene in
koringkultivars in te teel word ‘n effektiewe telingstrategie benodig.
Die doel van die studie was om genotipes te identifiseer met kombinasies van veelvuldige
weerstandsgene vir roes, sowel as goeie eienskappe belangrik vir graanopbrengs en bakkwaliteit.
Lyne is geïdentifiseer uit ‘n bestaande voortelingspopulasie van Stellenbosch Universiteit se
Planteteelt Laboratorium (SU-PTL) wat geteel was met spesifiek weerstand en opbrengs potensiaal
in gedagte. Om die doel van die studie te bereik is sekere doelwitte daar gestel. Hierdie doelwitte
sluit in om lyne uit die populasie te selekteer deur middel van merker bemiddelde seleksie (MBS)
vir gene naamlik Sr31/Lr26/Yr9, Lr24/Sr24, Lr37/Sr38/Yr17, Lr34/Yr18 en Sr2; om die
geselekteerde lyne suiwertelend te maak; sowel as om die suiwertelende lyne in veld proewe in te
sluit.
Van die oorspronklike stel van 64 lyne, is 60 gekies vir verdere studie. Deur middel van die
verdubbelde haploïed (VH) tegniek is die lyne suiwertelend gemaak. Die 60 lyne het een of meer
van die geselekteerde gene bevat. Die mees prominente gene was die twee geen komplekse
Sr31/Lr26/Yr9 en Lr24/Sr24. Na vier siklusse van saadvermeerdering en voorloppige seleksies is 15
lyne ingesluit by ‘n multi-omgewing veldproef.
Hierdie uitgebreide multi-omgewing veldproewe het gehelp om individue uit die 15 lyne te
identifiseer wat oor goeie aanpasbaarheid en stabiliteit beskik met betrekking tot opbrengs en bak
kwaliteit. Die molekulêre merkers gebruik om die gene verantwoordelik vir die kodering van HMGGS
5, 10 en 12 op te spoor het goed gekorreleer met die HMG-GS bande bepaal met behulp van die
Agilent© 2100 Bioanalyzer.
Toekomstige studies kan moontlik insluit die gebruik van die lyne wat geïdentifiseer was met goeie
kenmerke in die bestaande MS-MARS teelprogram van die SU-PTL. Die frekwensies van die
verlangde allele kan op hierdie manier in die populasie verhoog word.
