Collaborative project: Identification of molecular marker for soil borne virus resistance in wheat - subproject 5 (ReBoVi)

Project

Project code: 2814602313
Contract period: 09.09.2014 - 31.05.2018
Budget: 17,079 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research

In wide parts of Europe, Asia and America, the furoviruses soil-borne cereal mosaic virus (SBCMV) and soil-borne wheat mosaic virus (SBWMV) as well as the bymovirus Wheat spindle streak mosaic virus (WSSMV) cause significant yield losses in winter wheat. The only possibility to avoid infection and yield losses caused by these viruses is the cultivation of resistant varieties. Aim of this project is therefore mapping the WSSMV/SBCMV resistance, saturating the respective genome regions with molecular markers, developing molecular markers for effective marker associated selection, and gaining information on possible co-location of virus resistance genes with those already isolated in barley. To achieve these aims, different DH populations will be phenotyped for virus resistance at different locations and genotyped by using high-throughput techniques like the 90k iSelect Chip and genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS). Based on the results, the respective genes and QTL are mapped. Utilizing information on synteny, these genome regions will be saturated with markers.
