Relevance. F1 hybrids breeding programs of onion are based on the use of nuclear cytoplasmic male sterility (NCMS). Breeding and seed production based on NCMS suggest a development of a female sterile maternal line, a maintainer line and a paternal component. The development of an isogenic pair of sterile line – maintainer line is one of the most labor-, time-consuming and intellectually-intensive stages of a breeding program, the implementation of which becomes more complicated with an increase in the number of traits / genes for which selection is carried out.Methods and results. This paper presents a genetic scheme for the development of a Downy mildewresistant (pathogen P. destructor) maintainer line of onion using marker-assisted selection (MAS). F2 populations were obtained from the cross of the female maintainer inbred line, Bn1- (13) (genotype – cytN msms pdpd) and male inbred line resistant to Downy mildew, No. 136 (genotype – cytT MsMs PdPd). DNA marker DMR1 were used for Downy mildew resistance gene Pd, jnurf13 – for maintainer gene ms and marker system 5`cob: orfA501 – for N, S and T cytoplasms. It was shown that the MAS application allow to develop a stable Downy mildew resistant maintainer line cytN msms PdPd in two generations.

Il programma di miglioramento genetico per le resistenze a stress biotici ha avuto inizio presso la Fondazione Edmund Mach (FEM) nel 2010. Inizialmente è stata condotta una caratterizzazione sia genotipica che fenotipica di materiali acquisiti da altri programmi di breeding e di materiale selvatico raccolto in New Jersey. Sia i genotipi conosciuti nei database internazionali che i genotipi sconosciuti, imparentati e non, sono stati impiegati come linee parentali nel processo di introgressione e di piramidazione di loci di interesse. Una volta pianificati e ottenuti gli incroci, la valutazione delle progenie è avvenuta seguendo un processo di Marker-Assisted Selection: dapprima è avvenuta la selezione fenotipica in serra in base al tipo di malattia e al numero di loci attesi per la medesima malattia; successivamente si è proceduto con lo screening molecolare in base ai loci specifici attesi nei parentali. Cinque sono i loci Run/Ren associati alla resistenza all'oidio presenti nel programma FEM; riguardo ai loci associati alla resistenza alla peronospora, quattro Rpv sono ben rappresentati nel piano di incroci. Ad oggi il 26% delle F1 è piramidizzato per quattro loci di resistenza.

Abstract We investigate the use of markers to hasten the recovery of the recipient genome during an introgression breeding program. The effects of time and intensity of selection, population size, number and position of selected markers are studied for chromosomes either carrying or not carrying the introgressed gene. We show that marker assisted selection may lead to a gain in time of about two generations, an efficiency below previous theoretical predictions. Markers are most useful when their map position is known. In the early generations, it is shown that increasing the number of markers over three per non-carrier chromosome is not efficient, that the segment surrounding the introgressed gene is better controlled by rather distant markers unless high selection intensity can be applied, and that selection on this segment first can reduce the selection intensity available for selection on non-carrier chromosomes. These results are used to propose an optimal strategy for selection on the whole genome, making the most of available material and conditions (e.g., population size and fertility, genetic map).

AbstractThe effectiveness of Pl genes is known to be resistant to downy mildew (DM) disease affected by fungus Plasmopara halstedii in sunflower. In this study phenotypic analysis was performed using inoculation tests and genotypic analysis were carried out with three DM resistance genes Plarg, Pl13 and Pl8. A total of 69 simple sequence repeat markers and 241 F2 individuals derived from a cross of RHA-419 (R) x P6LC (S), RHA-419 (R) x CL (S), RHA-419 (R) x OL (S), RHA419 (R) x 9758R (S), HA-R5 (R) x P6LC (S) and HA89 (R) x P6LC (S) parental lines were used to identify resistant hybrids in sunflower. Results of SSR analysis using markers linked with downy mildew resistance genes (Plarg, Pl8 and Pl13) and downy mildew inoculation tests were evaluated together and ORS716 (for Plarg and Pl13), HA4011 (for Pl8) markers showed positive correlation with their phenotypic results. These results suggest that these markers are associated with DM resistance and they can be used successfully in marker-assisted selection for sunflower breeding programs specific for downy mildew resistance.

Downy (Plasmopara viticola) and powdery mildew (Erysipha necator) is known as one of the most mischievous diseases for viticulture in Turkey as well as in the world. Therefore breeding studies play an important role for development of new cultivars resistant against fungal diseases. The aim of this research was to develop new F1 population and evaluate the resistance of hybrids to powdery and downy mildew via marker assisted selection (MAS). Resistant ‘Regent’ and susceptible ‘Boğazkere’ varieties were used to obtain hybrid population. A total of 6 markers belonging to 3 genomic regions were used for DNA based selection. Four SSR (UDV15, VMCNG2f12, VMC7F2 and UDV305) and two SCAR (ScORNA7-760 and ScORN3-R) markers which were developed to the resistance loci of Rpv3 and Ren3 were used for DNA based selection. The results were evaluated together with powdery mildew inoculation observations. When inoculation observations and MAS were evaluated, genotypes resistant, tolerant and susceptible to powdery and downy mildew were identified. Especially 16 genotypes identified as resistant to powdery mildew, can be used in future breeding programs.

Abstract Background In breeding programs, the selection of cultivars with the highest yield potential consisted in the selection of the yield per se, which resulted in cultivars with higher grains per spike (GN) and occasionally increased grain weight (GW) (main numerical components of the yield). In this study, quantitative trait loci (QTL) for GW, GN and spike fertility traits related to GN determination were mapped using two doubled haploid (DH) populations (Baguette Premium 11 × BioINTA 2002 and Baguette 19 × BioINTA 2002). Results In total 305 QTL were identified for 14 traits, out of which 12 QTL were identified in more than three environments and explained more than 10% of the phenotypic variation in at least one environment. Eight hotspot regions were detected on chromosomes 1A, 2B, 3A, 5A, 5B, 7A and 7B in which at least two major and stable QTL sheared confidence intervals. QTL on two of these regions (R5A.1 and R5A.2) have previously been described, but the other six regions are novel. Conclusions Based on the pleiotropic analysis within a robust physiological model we conclude that two hotspot genomic regions (R5A.1 and R5A.2) together with the QGW.perg-6B are of high relevance to be used in marker assisted selection in order to improve the spike yield potential. All the QTL identified for the spike related traits are the first step to search for their candidate genes, which will allow their better manipulation in the future.

В статье представлены результаты молекулярно-генетического анализа F1 гибридов томата разных товарных групп на наличие аллелей гена устойчивости Cf-9 к кладоспориозу. Молекулярно-генетический анализ проводили в лаборатории маркерной и геномной селекции растений ФГБНУ ВНИИСБ в 2019 году. В качестве объекта исследования использованы 16 F1 гибридов томата, в том числе 10 крупноплодных, 1 кистевой, 1 коктейль и 4 черри. Повторность исследований двухкратная (одна повторность – одно растение). Для идентификации аллелей гена Cf-9 устойчивости к кладоспориозу применяли SCAR-маркер со следующими праймерами: CS5 (TTTCCAACTTACAATCCCTTC), DS1 (GAGAGCTCAACCTTTACGAA), CS1 (GCCGTTCAAGTTGGGTGTT). Реакционная смесь для ПЦР объемом 25 мкл содержала 50–100 нг ДНК, 2,5 мМ dNTP, 3 мМ MgSO4, 10 пМ каждого праймера, 2 ед. Taq-полимеразы (ООО «НПФ Синтол») и 2х стандартный ПЦР буфер. Реакцию проводили в амплификаторе Termal Cycler Bio-Rad T 100 по программе 95 °C – 5 мин, 35 циклов 95 °C – 20 с, 60 °C – 30 с, 72 °C – 30 с, финальная элонгация в течение 5 мин при 72 °C. Визуализацию результатов ПЦР проводили путем электрофореза в 1,7%-ном агарозном геле с 1х ТАЕ буфером, результаты анализировали с помощью системы Gel Doc 2000 (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., США). При идентификации гена устойчивости Cf-9 к кладоспориозу у изучаемых гибридов томата F1 были выявлены фрагменты размером 378 п. н. (аллель Cf-9) и 507 п. н. (аллель 9DC), что указывает на их устойчивость к этому заболеванию. Согласно результатам исследований, из 16 F1 гибридов томата 13 устойчивы к кладоспориозу, причем у 12 из них выявлено наличие только аллелей Cf-9, 1 гибрид имеет в генотипе оба аллеля устойчивости – Cf-9 и 9DС. Доминантные гомозиготы по гену Cf-9 будут использованы в селекционных программах Агрофирмы «Поиск» для создания линий-доноров устойчивости к кладоспориозу. The article presents the results of molecular genetic analysis of F1 tomato hybrids of different commodity groups for presence of Cf-9 gene alleles of resistance to leaf mold. The molecular genetic analysis was carried out in the laboratory of marker and genomic plant breeding of FSBSI VNIISB in 2019. 16 F1 tomato hybrids were used as the object of the study, including 10 large-fruited, 1 brush, 1 cocktail and 4 cherry. The repetition of studies is two-fold (one frequency – one plant). To identify alleles of the Cf-9gene for cladosporiosis resistance, a SCAR marker with the following primers was used: CS5 (TTTCCAACTTACAATCCCTTC), DS1 (GAGAGCTCAACCTTTACGAA), CS1 (GCCGTTCAAGTTGGGTGTT). The reaction mixture for PCR with a volume of 25 µl contained 50–100 ng of DNA, 2.5 mM dNTP, 3 mM MgSO4, 10 pM of each primer, 2 units. Taq-polymerase (LLC NPF Synthol) and 2x standard PCR buffer. The reaction was carried out in the Termal Cycler Bio-Rad T 100 amplifier according to the program 95 °C – 5 min, 35 cycles 95 °C – 20 s, 60 °C – 30 s, 72 °C – 30 s, the final elongation for 5 minutes at 72 °C. The PCR results were visualized by electrophoresis in a 1.7% agarose gel with 1x TAE buffer, the results were analyzed using the Gel Doc 2000 system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., USA). The identification of the Cf-9resistance gene to cladosporiosis in the studied tomato F1 hybrids revealed fragments of 378 bp (Cf-9 allele) and 507 bp (9DC allele), which indicates their resistance to this disease. According to the research results, 13 out of 16 tomato F1 hybrids are resistant to cladosporiosis, and 12 of them have only Cf-9 alleles, 1 hybrid has both Cf-9 and 9DC resistance alleles in the genotype. Dominant homozygotes for the Cf-9 gene will be used in breeding programs of Poisk Agrofirm to create donor lines for resistance to cladosporiosis.

To adjust breeding programs for local, commercial, and fancy breeds, and to implement molecular (marker-assisted) breeding, a proper comprehension of phenotypic and genotypic variation is a sine qua non for breeding progress in animal production. Here, we investigated an evolutionary subdivision of domestic chickens based on their phenotypic and genotypic variability using a wide sample of 49 different breeds/populations. These represent a significant proportion of the global chicken gene pool and all major purposes of breed use (according to their traditional classification model), with many of them being characterized by a synthetic genetic structure and notable admixture. We assessed their phenotypic variability in terms of body weight, body measurements, and egg production. From this, we proposed a phenotypic clustering model (PCM) including six evolutionary lineages of breed formation: egg-type, meat-type, dual purpose (egg-meat and meat-egg), game, fancy, and Bantam. Estimation of genotypic variability was carried out using the analysis of five SNPs, i.e., at the level of genomic variation at the NCAPG-LCORL locus. Based on these data, two generally similar genotypic clustering models (GCM1 and GCM2) were inferred that also had several overlaps with PCM. Further research for SNPs associated with economically important traits can be instrumental in marker-assisted breeding programs.
