Application of molecular markers to wheat breeding in Canada

Marker-assisted breeding provides an opportunity for wheat breeders to introgress/pyramid genes of interest into breeding lines and to identify genes and/or quantitative trait loci in germplasm to be used as parents. Molecular markers were deployed to assist selection for disease resistance, agronomic and quality traits in several wheat cultivars released for commercial cultivation in Canada. Marker-assisted breeding is routinely used in most wheat breeding programmes for rust resistance (leaf, stem and stripe rust), orange wheat blossom midge resistance, high grain protein concentration, Fusarium head blight and common bunt resistance. Markers are being used selectively within breeding programmes to target traits that relate to market class or regional adaptation. For example, marker-assisted breeding for low lipoxygenase activity and low grain cadmium is being performed in durum breeding programmes and for enhancing stem solidness in programmes targeting resistance to the wheat stem sawfly. Markers are also being utilized for ergot resistance in durum wheat. Increased gluten strength is being selected with a marker for the overexpression of the Bx7 high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit. Marker-assisted breeding is also being used to pyramid resistance genes against a group of stem rust races related to TTKS (Ug99), a disease that poses a serious threat to global wheat production. Development of tightly linked diagnostic markers and high-throughput genotyping with SNP markers will result in more effective molecular wheat breeding in the near future and will open the door to genomic selection.

“…All traits were evaluated at the Kernen Crop Research Farm and disease reaction in epiphytotic nurseries of the University of Saskatchewan at Saskatoon, except for the FHB resistance evaluation, which was performed at the Fusarium head blight nursery of the University of Manitoba at Carman, MB. Cultivars AC Barrie (McCaig et al 1996), 5602HR, Waskada (Fox et al 2009), AC Carberry (DePauw et al 2011, and 06FL-1 were used for comparison, and AC Barrie was used as a standard check for all comparisons. In 2010-2014, 06FL-1 was also included in the list of cultivars for comparison.…”

00Ar134-1 is an intergeneric spring wheat line derived from Elymus repens (quack grass). The line was developed as a potentially new source of resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat. 00Ar134-1 is resistant to Fusarium head blight as well as leaf rust, stem rust, and common bunt. Although lower yielding and taller than commercial cultivars, this line is of similar maturity and kernel weight. 00Ar134-1 can potentially be used as a resistant parent for improving Fusarium head blight resistance in common wheat.Key words: Elymus repens, intergeneric lines, 00Ar134-1, Fusarium head blight, wheat, Scab.Résumé : 00Ar134-1 est une lignée de blé de printemps intergénérique issue d'un croisement avec le chiendent (Elymus repens). Cette lignée a été développée afin d'offrir une nouvelle source de résistance éventuelle contre la brûlure de l'épi causée par Fusarium. 00Ar134-1 résiste à la brûlure de l'épi attribuable à Fusarium ainsi qu'à la rouille des feuilles, à la rouille de la tige et à la carie. Bien que son rendement et sa taille soient inférieures à celles des cultivars commerciaux, elle parvient à maturité en même temps et ses grains ont un poids similaire. 00Ar134-1 pourrait servir de parent résistant en vue de rehausser la résistance à la brûlure de l'épi causée par Fusarium chez les variétés de blé courantes.

“…The line 97B64-F9A3 was tested in an unreplicated trial grown at four locations in 2001 followed by evaluation in the preregistration tests CBWA4 andCBWB in 2002 and2003, respectively, before being entered into the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative (CBWC) test in 2004. For registration testing, the performance of 97B64-F9A3 was estimated using the varietal blend BW362, which consisted of 90% 97B64-F9A3 and 10% Waskada (Fox et al 2009). The addition of Waskada was done to provide an interspersed refuge for wheat midge (Smith et al 2004).…”

Niziol, D. 2010. Unity hard red spring wheat. Can. J. Plant Sci. 90: 71Á78. Unity is a hard red spring wheat that meets the end-use quality specifications of the Canada Western Red Spring class. Unity is the first spring wheat cultivar registered in Canada that contains the antibiosis resistance gene Sm1, which produces a product that reduces the palatability of developing seeds to wheat midge larvae (Sitodiplosis mosellana Ge´hin). Unity is a partial backcross derivative of McKenzie, using Clark as the donor of the Sm1 gene for midge resistance. Unity was found to be adapted to the eastern wheat growing regions of the Canadian prairies as represented in the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative Registration Test in 2004, 2005 and 2006. For registration testing, the performance of Unity was estimated using the varietal blend Unity VB, which consisted of 90% Unity and 10% Waskada. In comparison to the check cultivars (Katepwa, McKenzie, CDC Teal, AC Barrie, and Superb), Unity was the highest yielding cultivar overall; although not significant, Unity was 5% higher yielding than McKenzie. Unity matured significantly later than Katepwa and significantly earlier than Superb. Unity had significantly shorter plant stature than Katepwa and significantly taller stature than Superb. Unity had significantly greater lodging scores than AC Barrie and Superb. The test weight of Unity was significantly higher than the best check: 0.9 kg hL(1 higher than McKenzie. Unity expressed resistance to leaf rust, stem rust and common bunt, intermediate resistance to loose smut, and susceptibility to fusarium head blight. Unity had preharvest sprouting resistance with an overall sprouting score similar to the best checks McKenzie and Superb. Unity also maintained its falling numbers following natural or artificial weathering of spikes. The end-use suitability attributes of Unity were similar to the recurrent parent McKenzie for all traits except amylograph viscosity which was significantly higher than all checks except Superb. Unity est une varie´te´de ble´roux vitreux de printemps qui respecte les spe´cifications de la cate´gorie Ble´roux de printemps de l'Ouest canadien pour la qualite´eu e´gard a`l'usage final. Unity est le premier cultivar de ble´de printemps homologue´au Canada a`porter le ge`ne de re´sistance a`l'antibiose Sm1, qui rend les semences en de´veloppement moins appe´tibles aux larves de la ce´cidomyie du ble( Sitodiplosis mosellana Ge´hin). Unity de´rive du re´trocroisement partiel de la varie´te´McKenzie, le cultivar Clark ayant servi de source au ge`ne Sm1 de re´sistance a`la ce´cidomyie. Unity est adapte´aux re´gions de l'est des Prairies canadiennes ou`l'on cultive le ble´, comme l'ont indique´les essais d'homologation de la Central Bread Wheat Cooperative en 2004, 2005 et 2006. Lors de ces essais, le rendement de Unity a e´te´estime´avec le me´lange varie´tal Unity VB, compose´a`90 % de Unity et a1 0 % de Waskada. Unity a enregistre´un rendement plus e´leve´que celui des cultivars te´moins (Katepwa, McKenzie, CDC Teal...
