  • Molecular Mapping of Economic Traits using High-Throughput Technologies
    From Date : 08-07-2019 | To Date : 17-07-2019
    No of Participants : 28
    Workshop Overview

    Plant Physiology is becoming the most important discipline in combination with Biotechnology and Bioinformatics in understanding various biotic and abiotic factors that are constraints to crop production. To combat climatic calamities, need has arisen to identify morpho-physiological markers that can be directly correlated with genomic tags. Such efforts can facilitate the release of climate resilient and bio-fortified crop cultivars. This workshop combines the multi-disciplinary expertise of Indian and Australian scientists to educate future generation about fast emerging high throughput genotyping platforms to dissect genetic and physiological aspects of complex crop traits. It covered information on available high throughput genotypic and bioinformatics platforms and their application in mapping (including QTL analysis) of economic traits, marker development and marker validation for marker assisted selection in breeding programs.
    The Department of Botany & Plant Physiology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana, is organizing a ten days SPARC-MHRD sponsored International Workshop on Molecular mapping of economic traits using high-throughput technologies. The proposed workshop addresses the needs of the teachers and researchers from ICAR/SAU/State Univ. & Colleges, Post Docs and Doctoral students. The workshop included expert lectures as well as hands on training sessions.

    Objective of Workshop cum Hands on-Training
    To equip participant with the use of high-throughput in their research program
    Topics covered

    The workshop covered the following topics:-
    Phenotyping for enhancing physiological efficiency through genetic manipulation
    Identification of new genes and developing mapping population
    Genotyping using high-throughput platforms
    Molecular mapping of major and minor genes (QTL analysis)
    Development of linked markers

    Workshop Overview

    Dr Bariana has more than 50 years experience in area of cereal rust research. His team pioneered the gene discovery work from landraces and have identified more than 20 rust resistance loci, mapped to chromosomes and developed linked markers. The marker-tagged diverse sources of rust resistance (especially yellow rust resistance) are being used in wheat breeding around the globe. Keeping this in view, a lecture series was started and this was first Webinar by Dr Harbans Bariana , Co PI of this project organized on August 22, 2020. In his lecture he discussed Breeding for Disease Resistance – Model, The Australian Cereal Rust Control Program -linking pathology, genetics & breeding for Australian grain growers , Breeding for Disease Resistance Roadmap, Markers for resistance loci and in his key message he conveyed that Breeding for disease resistance is a continuous journey which require Deployment of Adult Plant Resistance and All Stage Resistance combinations, Interdisciplinary partnerships , Public-private partnership and International collaborations.

    Monograph Overview

    Carbohydrate partitioning limits the yielding capacity of plants, thus offering
    a potential target for crop improvement. Grasses have the ability to buffer
    this source to sink interaction by transiently storing carbohydrates in stem
    tissue as production from the source is greater than whole-plant demand.
    These reserves improve yield stability by providing an alternative source
    when photosynthetic capacity is reduced during the later phases of grain
    filling, or during periods of abiotic and biotic stresses. Stem non-structural
    carbohydrates (NSC) translocation could be beneficial for enhancement of
    grain yield potential, and poor unloading into developing grains may be the
    possible cause of low stem NSC translocation, poor grain filling and seed
    formation. Moreover, when photosynthesis reductions are accelerated, leaf
    senescence is faster, decreasing the sucrose-starch conversion via enzymatic
    activity and consequently reducing the grain yield and the quality. Considering
    that starch represents 80-90% of final grain weight, the events involving since
    grain filling and final yield are associated with assimilates supplied by current
    photosynthesis and stem NSC remobilization capacity. Wheat is one of the
    main sources of calories and protein of the world’s population and therefore the
    pathogens that cause rust diseases of the crop are a real threat to food security.
    Besides the continuous evolution of rust pathogens which repeatedly results in
    overcoming the resistance of commercial varieties throughout the world. For
    instance, wheat stem rust pathogen (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) evolution
    in east Africa (Ug99 and its variants) stripe rust (P. striiformis f. sp. tritici)
    fungus in parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe are a menace to food security due
    to their ability to spread rapidly and overcome resistance in common wheat
    varieties. Plant breeders are challenged by the impacts of global climatic
    changes. Agricultural practices will need to keep pace with the intensification
    of sustainable food production in order to face the challenge of feeding a world
    population estimated to reach about nine billion by 2050. Contemporary wheat
    breeding has increasingly focused on traits for improving yield potential
    during periods of abiotic and biotic stresses. Here, we summarize current
    knowledge of rust resistance, focusing on re-mobilization of non-structural
    carbohydrates (NSC) from leaves and stems and unloading into developing
    grains for yield stability of wheat.
    Here in this book we summarize current knowledge of rust resistance,
    focusing on re-mobilization of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) from
    leaves and stems and unloading into developing grains for yield stability of
    wheat and techniques of estimating NSC. This book entitled “Non-structural
    carbohydrates and Rust resistance in wheat” deals with an array of topics
    in the broad area by selecting some of the widely investigated themes
    Chapter 1: Non-Structural Carbohydrates in Plants: An Overview, Chapter
    2: Understanding Non-Structural Carbohydrate Biochemistry in Plants,
    Chapter 3: Understanding the Possible Roles of Nonstructural Carbohydrates
    under Abiotic Stress Conditions, Chapter 4: Opportunities to Explore NSC
    for Grain Development under High Temperature and Drought, Chapter 5: A
    ready reckoner for marker assisted selection of combinations of rust resistance
    genes in wheat , Chapter 6: Nine decades snapshot of wheat rust research
    in the Indian subcontinent and Chapter 7:Estimation Methods of NonStructural Carbohydrates. We feverishly believe that this book will provide
    good information about Non-Structural Carbohydrates and Rust Resistance
    in plants.
    We would like to extend our gratitude to all contributors for their authoritative
    and up to date scientific information organized in a befitting manner. We
    thank the Scheme for Promotion of Academic and Research Collaboration
    (SPARC) in coming up with this publication. The cooperation extended by
