ABSTRACTIn present study, F14 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was backcrossed to paternal parent for a paternal backcross (BC/P) population, deriving from one Upland cotton hybrid. Three repetitive BC/P field trials and one BC/M field trial were performed including both two BC populations and the original RIL population. Totally, for fiber quality traits, 24 novel QTLs were detected and 13 QTLs validated previous results. And 19 quantitative trait loci (QTL) in BC/P populations explained 5.01% - 22.09% of phenotype variation (PV). Among the 19 QTLs, three QTLs were detected simultaneously in BC/M population. The present study provided novel alleles of male parent for fiber quality traits with positive genetic effects. Particularly, qFS-Chr3-1 controlling fiber strength explained 22.09% of PV in BC/P population, which increased 0.48 cN/tex for fiber strength. A total of seven, two, eight, two and six QTLs explained over 10.00% of PV for fiber length, fiber uniformity, fiber strength, fiber elongation and fiber micronaire, respectively. In the RIL population, six common QTLs detected in more than one environment such as qFL-Chr1-2, qFS-Chr5-1, qFS-Chr9-1, qFS-Chr21-1, qFM-Chr9-1 and qFM-Chr9-2. Two common QTLs of qFE-Chr2-2 (TMB2386-SWU12343) and qFM-Chr9-1 (NAU2873-CGR6771) explained 22.42% and 21.91% of PV. In addition, a total of 142 and 46 epistatic QTLs and QTL × environments (E-QTLs and QQEs) were identified in RIL-P and BC/P populations, respectively.

Starch, as the main grain component, has great importance in wheat quality, with the ratio between the two formed polymers, amylose and amylopectin, determining the starch properties. Granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI), or waxy protein, encoded by the Wx gene is the sole enzyme responsible for amylose synthesis. The current study evaluated the variability in Wx genes in two representative lines of Hordeum chilense Roem. et Schult., a wild barley species that was used in the development of tritordeum (×Tritordeum Ascherson et Graebner). Two novel alleles, Wx-Hch1a and Wx-Hch1b, were detected in this material. Molecular characterizations of these alleles revealed that the gene is more similar to the Wx gene of barley than that of wheat, which was confirmed by phylogenetic studies. However, the enzymatic function should be similar in all species, and, consequently, the variation present in H. chilense could be utilized in wheat breeding by using tritordeum as a bridge species.

Aim of study: Improvement of barley cultivars for malting traits suffers from narrow genetic pool in barley for these traits. Landraces are resources that could be used for this purpose. The present study was conducted to determine the variation for malting quality traits within a Turkish barley landrace. Area of study: The study was undertaken in Tokat, a province in Black Sea Region of Turkey. Material and methods: Twenty-five diverse lines, out of 42 unique genotypes previously identified in ‘Tokak’ landrace (PI 470281) based on DNA markers, were evaluated for malting quality traits along with the malting barley cv. ‘Tokak 157/37’ in four field trials. Thousand-seed weight, test weight, grain yield, lodging, malt extract percentage, diastatic power, alpha amylase and malt beta glucanase activities, malt protein and starch contents were determined. Main results: Principal component analysis of malting quality traits revealed that thousand-seed weight, alpha amylase activity, beta glucanase activity and diastatic power were the most discriminatory traits for the lines. As the average of four trials, 15 of the 25 lines evaluated had higher grain yields and 10 of 25 lines had higher malt extract percentages than the standard cultivar ‘Tokak 157/37’. Malt extract was highest in Line 59 in all environments, and this line also had the highest values for beta glucanase activity and starch content. Line 215 had highest values for alpha amylase activity. Lines 59 and 215 clearly had superior malting quality. Research highlights: These lines could harbor novel alleles for these traits to be used in malting barley improvement.
