Indirect selection for lower deoxynivalenol (DON) content in grain in a winter wheat population
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 2007
Selection for Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance and lower deoxynivalenol (DON) content is an important goal in many wheat-breeding programs worldwide. Preliminary screening for less severe FHB symptoms in the early segregating generations can be an important tool to assist breeders in determining which lines to advance to homozygosity. The objectives of this study were: (1) to test influence of plant height, heading date, presence of awns and number of spikelets per spike on FHB index and DON content and (2) to estimate the reliability of indirect selection for lower DON content based on FHB index. A Ruby × Frontana winter wheat population was spray inoculated with a spore suspension of Fusarium graminearum in 2001 and 2002. Plant height was significantly associated with DON content in both years; taller lines accumulated less DON than shorter ones. The moderately resistant lines, based on FHB index after in oculation, had a statistically lower DON accumulation compared with the...
Physiological factors associated with genotype by environment interaction in wheat
Field Crops Research, 2002
Wheat cultivars often show highly significant genotype by environment interaction ðG Â EÞ for yield, even when comparing different years within a relatively stable location. This study attempts to explain some of the physiological bases of G Â E in two experiments: (i) historic yield potential trials (HYPTs) of bread wheat (BW) (Triticum aestivum L.), durum (T. durum Desf.) and triticale (TCL) (X Triticosecale Wittmack) cultivars grown under agronomically optimal conditions; (ii) an elite spring wheat yield trial (ESWYT) of 30 BW genotypes cultivated at 27 international locations. For the HYPT, the main objectives were to determine the environmental variables during different phenological stages associated with: (i) G Â E among the three crop species, (ii) G Â E within each species, and (iii) underlying physiological causes of G Â E. For ESWYT, meteorological data were not available and so mean site values of certain crop parameters were used as proxy environmental data to determine whether conditions either pre-or post-anthesis were more influential in determining G Â E. Partial least squares analysis (PLS) and factorial regression (FR) models were used to identify the environmental factors best explaining G Â E independent of the main effects. Of the three crops, durums were shown to be the most sensitive to conditions pre-anthesis, requiring higher radiation and cooler average temperatures (Txs) in order to set high grain number. TCL, despite having the highest average yield and biomass, performed relatively poor when conditions from spike growth stage onwards were sunny and warm. BW appeared to be the most robust of the three species. Considering yield, biomass, and yield components, it was apparent that the spike primordia growth stage was generally the most sensitive to environmental factors causing G Â E. Results for the ESWYT suggested that conditions post-anthesis were more influential on G Â E than conditions pre-anthesis. Implications for how such analysis may assist with both conventional and molecular approaches to breeding are discussed. #
Ammi analyzed genotype by environment interaction in bread wheat. Proceedings of the III Congress of Ecologists of the Republic of Macedonia with International Participation, 06-09.10.2007, Struga. Special issues of Macedonian Ecological Society, Vol. 8, Skopje. Additive and multivariate variation effects for stem height and weight, as well as, grain number and weight per spike of three wheat varieties in four vegetation seasons have been studied. The trial has been established on halomorphic soil in Banat, solonetz type, consisting of control as comparison standard, and two amelioration levels using phosphor gypsum. AMMI analysis revealed very complex nature of variation observed in trial, as well as, genotype by environment interaction.
Genotypic and temperature effects on wheat grain yield and quality in a hot irrigated environment
Plant Breeding, 2006
High temperature influences both grain yield and end-use quality of wheat. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the performance of selected wheat genotypes under heat stress and to examine the effects of high temperatures during grain filling on grain yield and end-use quality parameters. Fifteen bread wheat genotypes in 2000/2001 and 18 genotypes in 2002/2003 were evaluated under the optimum and latesowing conditions of the irrigated hot environment of the Gezira Research Farm, Wad Medani, Sudan. The genotypes comprised released varieties and elite lines from the Sudanese wheat improvement programme. Data collected included grain yield, grain weight and grain end-use quality including protein content, protein composition, SDS sedimentation values (SDSS) and gluten strength as determined by mixograph analyses. High temperatures significantly decreased grain yield by decreasing grain weight. Although genotypes exhibited variation in magnitude of response, results indicated that high temperature during grain filling increased both soluble and insoluble protein contents, SDSS, mixograph peak height (MPH) and the descending slope at 2 min past peak (MDS). In contrast, mixograph peak time (MPT) and the curve width at 2 min past peak (MCW) were significantly decreased. Flour protein correlated positively with SDSS, MPH and MDS and negatively with MCW. MPT correlated negatively with MDS and positively with MCW. Results indicate that high temperature increased both soluble and insoluble protein contents, SDSS and MPH, and hence the gluten strength, but decreased flour mixing time and tolerance and hence the dough elasticity. Variation observed among genotypes suggests that grain end-use quality could be improved under high temperature conditions utilizing the available variability; however, it might require evaluation under various growing conditions.
Genetic parameters of wheat populations in environments with contrasting temperatures
Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2012
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters of wheat segregating populations grown in environments with different thermal conditions. Thus, two experiments were carried out at Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Brazil. A 16 by16 square lattice design was used with two replications, where 240 families from eight segregating populations, 30 families from each population, plus 16 parents were evaluated. In the first experiment, sown in February 2007 (summer), S0:2 families were evaluated. In the second one, in June 2007 (winter), S0:3 families were evaluated. Grain yield and thousand grains weight were recorded. So, the most promising population to be grown under different levels of temperature is the Population II originated from BR24/Aliança//EP93541/CPAC9662. It was verified that the thermal conditions might interfere in the wheat genotypes performance and also in the genetic parameters estimates.

The objective of this study was to over two distinct crop development periods, (from sowdetermine the main limiting factors of yield and to analyze their effects ing to flowering for KN and after flowering for TKW), in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) trials. Fixed genotypes (Talent, Soisthis allows identification of when the limiting factors sons, Camp-Ré my, and Arminda) were studied as probe genotypes occur.

The former described the time-period until flowering and the the environmental and biological constraints and relate latter the grain-filling period. In addition, factors that limit yield were these indicators to yield component reductions. These determined through indicators such as water deficits, the ratio between factors are numerous in winter wheat trials.

Variability of grain weight per spike in wheat grown in different ecological conditions
Acta agriculturae Serbica, 2015
three experimental years under different environmental factors. The experiment was set up as a randomized block design in three replications. Differences in the average values of grain weight spike-1 among tested cultivars were determined in all three years. On average, for all genotypes, grain weight spike-1 was highest (2.32g) in the first experimental year (2005/06), and lowest (1.95g) in the second year (2006/07). For all investigated wheat cultivars, in the third experimental year, the average value of grain weight spike-1 was 2.24g, while the total average value for all cultivars and three experimental years was 2.17g. 'Ana Morava' had the highest average values for grain weight spike-1 in all three experimental years, while the lowest grain weight spike-1 was obtained in 'Balkan' (1.81g) in the second year 'Lasta' (1.40g) and in the third experimental year 'Partizanka' (1.91g). On average, 'Ana Morava' had the
Genotype environment interaction in fractions of dry matter of awn less bread wheats
2021
Cereals represent an important contribution to the diet of stabled cattle during the winter season, with oats being the most used species, although there are others with forage potential. The production of dry forage and its fractions in twelve awns less wheat genotypes was evaluated, including three commercial witnesses of other species, in order to determine the magnitude of the environment genotype interaction (IGA), as no information is available at the moment. A random complete block design with three repetitions in five test environments was used, sowing at a density of 120 kg ha and doing traditional management of winter cereals. Forage evaluations were conducted between 112 and 118 days after planting. Dry forage of fractions was analyzed using the AMMI model. Of the IGA detected in the production of dry forage, the largest amount appeared in the stems, followed by that of leaves and finally that of spikes. The wheat genotypes G6, G1, G11 and G9 were rated as desirable along...

An evaluation of the agronomic performance of two tetraploid wheat varieties (Triticum turgidum spp. durum, Claudio; Triticum turgidum spp. turanicum, Kamut ® ) grown strictly under low input conditions was carried out over three consecutive cropping years. The study reported grain yield values ranging from 1.8 to 2.6 t ha -1 . Productivity showed to be primarily affected by environmental conditions, while no differences were observed between the two genotypes. The study of the yield components highlighted that the durum wheat variety had a higher plant density than Kamut ® , but this discrepancy was offset by a greater number of kernels per spike and the kernel weight of khorasan wheat. The investigated wheat genotypes were also analysed to assess the mycotoxin (DON) levels of wholegrain semolina and the efficiency of cleaning treatments to reduce contamination. Results showed that both wheat varieties had a good hygienic and sanitary quality with a DON content ranging from 0.35 to 1.31 mg kg -1 , which was lower than the maximum acceptable level set by the European regulation at 1.75 mg kg -1 . In addition, our research work investigated the effects of premilling cleaning procedures, such as water washing and brushing, on mycotoxin levels, which yielded interesting results in terms of decontamination efficiency. These methods were particularly efficient with Kamut ® semolina (46-93% DON reduction), suggesting that mycotoxins accumulate in this variety at more superficial levels than in the durum wheat variety. On the whole, our study provided additional knowledge on the traits to be further improved to respond to low input requirements and to enhance the potential adaptability of wheat genotypes to organic agriculture. Our results emphasized the need to develop wheat varieties that can provide adequate performance without high levels of nitrogen inputs by selecting specific traits, such as kernel weight, spike length and kernel/spike. This may help achieve productivity gains in organic systems.
