TL;DR: The developed array and cluster identification algorithms provide an opportunity to infer detailed haplotype structure in polyploid wheat and will serve as an invaluable resource for diversity studies and investigating the genetic basis of trait variation in wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI
GrainScan: a low cost, fast method for grain size and colour measurements
Alex Whan,Alison B. Smith,Colin Cavanagh,Jean-Philippe Ral,Lindsay M. Shaw,Crispin A. Howitt,Leanne Bischof +6 more
TL;DR: GrainScan is a software method to measure grain size and colour from images captured with consumer level flatbed scanners, in a robust, standardised way, to enable plant research programs to gain deeper understanding of material, where limited or no information is currently available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptomic analysis of wheat near-isogenic lines identifies PM19-A1 and A2 as candidates for a major dormancy QTL
Jose M. Barrero,Colin Cavanagh,Colin Cavanagh,Klara L. Verbyla,Josquin Tibbits,Arunas P. Verbyla,Bevan Emma Huang,Garry M. Rosewarne,Garry M. Rosewarne,Stuart Stephen,Penghao Wang,Alex Whan,Philippe Rigault,Matthew J. Hayden,Frank Gubler +14 more
TL;DR: A novel pipeline is introduced that analyses, by RNA-sequencing, multiple near-isogenic lines segregating for a targeted QTL located on chromosome 4AL, and identifies two adjacent candidate genes within the QTL region belonging to the ABA-induced Wheat Plasma Membrane 19 family that are positive regulators of seed dormancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-parent populations in crops: a toolbox integrating genomics and genetic mapping with breeding
Michael F. Scott,Olufunmilayo Ladejobi,Samer Amer,Alison R. Bentley,Jay M. Biernaskie,Scott A. Boden,Matthew D. Clark,Matteo Dell’Acqua,Laura E. Dixon,Carla Valeria Filippi,Nick Fradgley,Keith A. Gardner,Ian Mackay,Donal M. O'Sullivan,Lawrence Percival-Alwyn,Manish Roorkiwal,Rakesh Singh,Mahendar Thudi,Rajeev K. Varshney,Luca Venturini,Alex Whan,James Cockram,Richard Mott +22 more
TL;DR: An ideal genotypic, phenotypic and germplasm ‘package’ that multi-parent populations should feature to optimise their use as powerful community resources for crop research, development and breeding is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sugarcane genotypes differ in internal nitrogen use efficiency
Nicole Robinson,Andrew Fletcher,Alex Whan,Christa Critchley,Nicolaus von Wirén,Prakash Lakshmanan,Susanne Schmidt +6 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that there is considerable genetic variation for iNUE in sugarcane, which can be exploited for breeding and it is proposed that breeding programs should assess genotypes not only at high N, but also at low N supply rates to select genotypes that produce high biomass with low and high N supply.
