Why we need gene bank? Rht1 & 2: Japanese dwarf landrace wheat Daruma Rht 8 : Japanese landrace Akakomugi Utilizing gene bank biodiversity could be one way to enhance productivity of wheat
Mobilizing Resource: The Road Map 1. WHEAT GENE BANK 2. DEVELOPING RESOURCE 4. MOVING TO NARS BREEDING PIPELINES 3. UTILIZING RESOURCE: PRE-BREEDING Generation advancement Strategic Crossing Field evaluation
Genetic and Genomic Resource
Genetic Resource: Evaluation for heat tolerance 70,000 wheat accessions screened for heat stress tolerance Impact of heat on wheat ~ 10% yield loss per 1 o C increase in temperature By 2050, 20-30% yield loss in South Asia alone, affecting over 1 billion people Panel of heat and drought tolerant landraces
Genetic Resource: Evaluation for Rust Resistance YR Resistant Landraces Research on wheat rust during 1961-2009 added to world wheat harvests worth US $1.12 billion per year (at 2010 prices) Science, 340:147-148(2013) Panel of landraces for yellow rust resistance
Number of genotypes Genetic Resource: Evaluation for Zinc content Evaluated ~15,000 wheat landraces for quality traits Wheat landrace evaluation for high zinc content Panel of landraces for high Zinc Grain zinc concentration (ppm)
Genomic Resource: Segregation distortion on 6B Genomic associations identified for rust resistance and yield in three populations
Genomic Resource: Rust Resistance Bi-parental mapping for rust resistance using GBS H.Li- P.Vikram equal contribution et al. 2015 BMC Genomics Association mapping for rust resistance using GBS Vikram et al. Unpublished
The Mexican Landrace Story
Mexican Landrace Story: Diversity Analysis Cluster 2 Cluster 6 NORTH CENTRAL T.ASTIEVUM S.CEREALE Cluster 1 Cluster 5 Cluster 3 Cluster 4 SOUTH T.DURUM Cluster 1: Majority of landraces in this group are from central Mexico Cluster 2: Majority of landraces in this group are from Northern Mexico Cluster 3: Majority of landraces in this group are from southern Mexico and are T. durum Cluster 4: Genetic group with accessions from different origin and species Cluster 5: Group specific to Michoacán Cluster 6: Group of Secale cereale only Diversity Profiling of 8000 Mexican Landraces
Mexican Landrace Story: The Rare Alleles Unique rare alleles in Mexican Landraces
Mexican Landrace Story: Core Set GBS data PCA + Phenotypic variables Hierarchical Multiple Factor Analysis 6 principal axes (75% geno; 25% pheno) 29 groups in Iranian LR 21 groups in Mexican LR Stratified random sampling using D-method Measured diversity by Gower s distance Landrace core set distributed to South Asia, Africa, Mexico & USA Selected core subsets
