Collaborative project: Utilization of plant genetic resources for malting quality and tolerance to drought stress using genomic selection and metabolic profiling. Subproject 1 (GREAT-GEM)
Project
Project code: 2818202415
Contract period: 01.06.2018
- 31.05.2021
Budget: 160,516 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
"The project GREAT-GEM focused on testing methods of genomic selection and metabolic profiling for utilization of plant genetic resources to improve the quantitative traits of malting quality and tolerance to drought stress in spring barley. The populations created for the project can be further used as crossing parents in breeding programs and thus, contribute to the development of new varieties. A fully automated process covering all steps from sampling to the final processed NMR-spectrum for leaf, kernel and malt samples has been developed and validated. The NMR-based phenotyping method can be routinely used for analyzing malt quality. Besides that, a prototype for phenotyping of tolerance to drought stress is available.
Phenotypic data were analysed for components of genetic and environmental variance. In addition, correlations between metabolites of the unmalted and malted grain with yield traits were investigated to identify causal relationships. By genotyping the population, a basis was laid to train and validate genomic selection models and thus estimate a genomic breeding value for selection candidates."
