Characterization of Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight in Wheat and Its Relatives

Objective

<ol><LI> Identify more molecular markers to further saturate the chromosome region harboring Qfhs.ndsu-3AS. <LI> Increase resolution of the QTL map and position the QTL to a smaller chromosomal interval. <LI>Develop more user-friendly markers for MAS and haplotyping in breeding and germplasm development.

More information

Approach: We propose to further saturate the chromosomal interval harboring develop user-friendly molecular markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS), haplotyping, and gene pyramiding in breeding and germplasm development. This will further increase resolution of the QTL map and position the QTL in a smaller chromosomal interval. Construction of a fine map of Qfhs. ndsu-3AS will facilitate cloning of this QTL and development of effective molecular markers for MAS.
