Kernel size and morphology influence the market value and milling yield of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling kernel traits in hexaploid wheat. We recorded 1000-kernel weight, kernel length, and kernel width for 185 recombinant inbred lines from the cross Rye Selection 111 ? Chinese Spring grown in 2 agro-climatic regions in India for many years. Composite interval mapping (CIM) was employed for QTL detection using a linkage map with 169 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. For 1000-kernel weight, 10 QTLs were identified on wheat chromosomes 1A, 1D, 2B, 2D, 4B, 5B, and 6B, whereas 6 QTLs for kernel length were detected on 1A, 2B, 2D, 5A, 5B and 5D. Chromosomes 1D, 2B, 2D, 4B, 5B and 5D had 9 QTLs for kernel width. Chromosomal regions with QTLs detected consistently for multiple year-location combinations were identified for each trait. Pleiotropic QTLs were found on chromosomes 2B, 2D, 4B, and 5B. The identified genomic regions controlling wheat kernel size and shape can be targeted during further studies for their genetic dissection.

Genetic control of alpha-amylase activity in rye grain was investigated by QTL mapping based on DS2 ? RXL10 intercross consisting of 99 F5-6 families propagated at one location during four vegetation seasons. A wide range of variation in -amylase activity and transgression effects were found among families and parental lines. This variation was shown to be determined in 40.1% by 7 significant (LOD score not less than 2.5) and 2 putative QTLs (2 < LOD < 2.5) distributed on all rye chromosomes except 4R. Two significant QTLs located on 3RL and 5RL chromosome arms were expressed each year. The third significant QTL was detected in three years (1RL). The other four significant QTLs (2RL, 5RS, 6RL, 7RL) were found in one year of study. The number and composition of QTLs were specific for a given year varying from three to six. QTLs were not correlated with isoenzyme polymorphisms at the structural alpha-Amy1 loci. A QTL associated with a region containing the alpha-Amy3 locus was detected on chromosome 5RL. Both high- and low-activity QTL alleles were found in each parental line, which explains the appearance of transgressive recombinants in the segregating population.

Common smut in maize, caused by Ustilago maydis, reduces grain yield greatly. Agronomic and chemical approaches to control such diseases are often impractical or ineffective. Resistance breeding could be an efficient approach to minimize the losses caused by common smut. In this study, quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to common smut in maize were identified. In 2005, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population along with the resistant (Zong 3) and susceptible (87?1) parents were planted in Beijing and Zhengzhou. Significant genotypic variation in resistance to common smut was observed at both locations after artificial inoculation by injecting inoculum into the whorl of plants with a modified hog vaccinator. Basing on a genetic map containing 246 polymorphic SSR markers with an average linkage distance of 9.11 cM, resistance QTL were analysed by composite interval mapping. Six additive-effect QTL associated with resistance to common smut were identified on chromosomes 3 (three QTL), 5 (one QTL) and 8 (two QTL), and explained 3.2% to 12.4% of the phenotypic variation. Among the 6 QTL, 4 showed significant QTL ? environment (Q ? E) interaction effects, which accounted for 1.2% to 2.5% of the phenotypic variation. Nine pairs of epistatic interactions were also detected, involving 18 loci distributed on all chromosomes except 2, 6 and 10, which contributed 0.8% to 3.0% of the observed phenotypic variation. However, no significant epistasis ? environment interactions were detected. In total, additive QTL effects and Q ? E interactions explained 38.8% and 8.0% of the phenotypic variation, respectively. Epistatic effects contributed 15% of the phenotypic variation. The results showed that besides the additive QTL, both epistasis and Q ? E interactions formed an important genetic basis for the resistance to Ustilago maydis in maize.

Based on segregation distortion of simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers, we detected a significant quantitative trait loci (QTL) for pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) tolerance on the short arm of chromosome 2D (2DS) in the extremely susceptible population of F2 progeny generated from the cross of PHS tolerant synthetic hexaploid wheat cultivar 'RSP' and PHS susceptible bread wheat cultivar '88-1643'. To identify the QTL of PHS tolerance, we constructed two SSR-based genetic maps of 2DS in 2004 and 2005. One putative QTL associated with PHS tolerance, designated Qphs.sau-2D, was identified within the marker intervals Xgwm261-Xgwm484 in 2004 and in the next year, nearly in the same position, between markers wmc112 and Xgwm484. Confidence intervals based on the LOD-drop-off method ranged from 9 cM to 15.4 cM and almost completely overlapped with marker interval Xgwm261-Xgwm484. Flanking markers near this QTL could be assigned to the C-2DS1-0.33 chromosome bin, suggesting that the gene(s) controlling PHS tolerance is located in that chromosome region. The phenotypic variation explained by this QTL was about 25.73%-27.50%. Genotyping of 48 F6 PHS tolerant plants derived from the cross between PHS tolerant wheat cultivar 'RSP' and PHS susceptible bread wheat cultivar 'MY11' showed that the allele of Qphs.sau-2D found in the 'RSP' genome may prove useful for the improvement of PHS tolerance.

Quantitative resistance of Salix to Melampsora larici-epitea leaf rust was studied in 2 Salix mapping populations. One population was a backcross between a S. schwerinii S. viminalis hybrid and S. viminalis, and the other was an F2 population between S. viminalis and S. dasyclados. A leaf disc bioassay was used to study the components of quantitative resistance (latent period, uredinia number, and uredinia size) to 3 isolates of the leaf rust. The analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) revealed 9 genomic regions in the backcross population and 7 genomic regions in the F2 population that were important for rust resistance, with QTLs explaining 8?26% of the phenotypic variation. An important genomic region was identified for the backcross population in linkage group 2, where QTLs were identified for all resistance components for 2 of the rust isolates. Four of the QTLs had overlapping mapping intervals, demonstrating a common genetic background for latent period, uredinia diameter, and uredinia number. QTLs specific to some rust isolates and to some resistance components were also found, indicating a combination of common and specific mechanisms involved in the various resistance components. Breeding implications in relation to these findings are discussed.
