Characterization of Pre-Breeding Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Germplasm for Stripe Rust Resistance Using Field Phenotyping and Genotyping

Plants (2023)

Basharat Ul Islam Saba Mir Mohammad Saleem Dar Gazala H. Khan Asif B. Shikari

Wheat is highly affected by stripe rust disease, particularly under cooler environments, and the losses can reach up to 100 percent depending on the intensity of infection and the susceptibility of the genotype. The most effective method to manage this disease is the use of resistant varieties. In the present study, 192 wheat genotypes were evaluated for stripe rust resistance under field conditions and also in a laboratory using molecular markers. These lines included pre-breeding germplasm developed for rust resistance and some high-yielding commercially grown wheat varieties. Out of 192 genotypes, 53 were found to be resistant, and 29 showed moderate resistance reaction under field conditions, whereas the remaining genotypes were all either moderately susceptible or susceptible. Under controlled conditions, out of 109 genotypes, only 12 were found to be resistant to all the six virulent/pathogenic pathotypes. Additionally, a selection of 97 genotypes were found resistant in field screening and were subjected to molecular validation using the markers linked to major R-genes, viz., Yr5, Yr10, Yr15 and Yr17. Nine genotypes possessed the Yr5 gene, twelve had the Yr10 gene, fourteen had the Yr15 gene and thirty-two had the Yr17 gene. The resistance genes studied in the current study are effective in conferring resistance against stripe rust disease. The genotypes identified as resistant under both field and controlled conditions can be used as sources in stripe rust resistance breeding programs.

Estimation of gene action and combining ability in rice (Oryza sativaL.) through line x tester analysis carried over environments

Applied Biological Research (2015)

Sajad Hussain Dar A. G. Rather S. Najeeb M. Ashraf Ahangar Z. A. Bhat

Line x tester analysis over environments was carried out in rice during 2011 and 2012, with 9 lines, 3 testers and 27 hybrids thus generated. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotypes for most of the characters studied. Mean squares due to G x E interaction and environmental component was observed to be significant for all the traits. Analysis of variance further revealed significant mean squares for general and specific combining ability for all traits. The mean sum of squares due to environments was also significant for most of the traits. The variances of SCA were higher than GCA variances for some of the characters but reverse was true for other characters, thus showing importance of both additive and non-additive genetic components. The GCA estimates for grain yield plant−1 suggested that the parents ‘K-08-60’, ‘K-08-61’ and ‘Pusa Sugand-5’ as promising on the basis of significant positive GCA effects at pooled levels.

IDENTIFICATION OF EFFECTIVE FERTILITY RESTORERS IN RICE UNDER TEMPERATE CONDITIONS OF KASHMIR VALLEY

The Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences (2022)

A. Majid Showkat A. Waza Najeebul Rehman Sofi Asif B. Shikari G. A. Parray

Exploitation of hybrid vigour is one of the most important applications of genetics in agriculture.It has highly contributed to food security, without affecting the environment.The availability of effective restorer lines that combines well with the CMS lines for various agro-morphological traits, determines the success of hybrid rice technology under temperate conditions like Kashmir Valley.To identify the best performing lines of rice in different cross combinations, four CMS lines and 34 genotypes were characterized for various agro-morphological and fertility restoration related traits.Out of 136 crosses, 43 (31.6%) were found to show the fertility restoration and 30 (22.06%) were found to be partial restorers.Sixty-three (46.32%) cross combinations were found to be partial maintainers and no cross combination was found to exhibit the maintainer behaviour.The genotypes RL-2, RL-3 and RL-8 were found to show restoration across all the CMS lines.Analysis of variance indicated the existence of significant differences among the genotypes, revealing that sufficient variability is present for different traits.The maximum positive value of st and ard heterosis for grain yield was recorded in SKUA-7A × RL-3.The marker-based assay using Rf3 and Rf4 linked markers was also carried out to validate the genes responsible for fertility restoration.The genotypes RL-1, RL-2, RL-5, RL-9, RL-11 and RL-12 showed polymorphism with all the markers.Sixteen hybrids showed fertility restoration behaviour with all the markers as well as under the field condition.Among these, 8 fall in the class of top 10 heterotic hybrids in the present study.The heterotic hybrids were evaluated for grain and cooking quality features.Out of the top 10 heterotic hybrids evaluated, nine were of medium to short grain types and only one SKUA-19A × RL-5 was of long grain type.Heterotic hybrids along with their parents showed intermediate amylose content which is preferable.

Development of yellow seeded brown sarson (Brassica rapa L.) genotypes for temperate conditions of Kashmir

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding (2012)

A. G. Rather Faheem A. Sheikh S. Najeeb M. A. Zargar Asif B. Shikari

The inheritance of yellow seed coat-colour in brown sarson (Brassica rapa L.) was investigated in two crosses involving two brown sarson cultivars viz Gulchin and KOS-1 and a yellow seeded genotype Yellow Sarson-1.The segregating pattern of seed coat colour in F2, BC1 and BC2 revealed the monogenic control of seed coat colour with black colour dominant over yellow colour. Five yellow seeded brown sarson populations(YBS) were constituted from BC2F3. All the populations had higher seed weight and seed oil content than Gulchin (check).YBS-2 was found promising over check variety in oil yield per ha by a margin of 22%. Developing yellow seeded varieties is an appropriate approach to enhance oilseed productivity and meal quality in brown sarson.
