BC1 Population (bc1 + population)
Selected AbstractsMolecular Tagging and Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci for Lint Percentage and Morphological Marker Genes in Upland CottonJOURNAL OF INTEGRATIVE PLANT BIOLOGY, Issue 3 2006Wang-Zhen Guo Abstract Using 219 F2 individuals developed by crossing the genetic standard line TM-1 and the multiple dominant marker line T586 in Gossypium hirsutum L., a genetic linkage map with 19 linkage groups was constructed based on simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Compared with our tetraploid backboned molecular genetic map from a(TM-1 × Hai 7124) × TM-1 BC1 population, 17 of the 19 linkage groups were combined and anchored to 12 chromosomes (sub-genomes). Of these groups, four morphological marker genes in T586 had been mapped into the molecular linkage map. Meanwhile, three quantitative trait loci for lint percentage were tagged and mapped separately on the A03 linkage group and chromosome 6.

Kaiser Summary A potential limitation of the use of a dominant molecular marker system such as DNA fingerprinting (DFP) is the inability to distinguish homozygous from heterozygous allele state in an individual, and a resulting inaccuracy in estimating effects of the marker alleles. The objective of this study was to accurately estimate the effect of DFP markers on egg-production traits. A BC1 population was produced from two distinct layer lines. Four DFP bands, each originating predominantly in one of the two parental lines, were evaluated for linkage with egg-production quantitative trait loci in the BC1 population. The egg-production traits consisted of eight early period and seven late period measurements. Eight marker-trait linkages were identified out of 60 total statistical tests. By utilizing information on frequency of DFP bands in two parental lines, selecting F1 sires with DFP bands present, and backcrossing to the line lacking these bands, the population design allowed definitive identification of the DFP zygosity in the BC1 resource population hens. In this manner, accurate estimates of marker allele effects on egg-production traits were obtained from the dominant marker system of DNA fingerprinting. [source] Identification and inheritance of a partially dominant gene for yellow seed colour in Brassica napusPLANT BREEDING, Issue 1 2005X. P. Liu Abstract A yellow-seeded doubled haploid (DH) line no. 2127-17, derived from a resynthesized Brassica napus L., was crossed with two black-seeded Brassica cultivars ,Quantum' and ,Sprint' of spring type. The inheritance of seed colour was investigated in the F2, and BC1 populations of the two crosses and also in the DH population derived from the F1 of the cross ,Quantum'× no. 2127-17. Seed colour analysis was performed with the colorimeter CR-300 (Minolta, Japan) together with a visual classification system. The immediate F1 seeds of the reciprocals in the two crosses had the same colour as the self-pollinated seeds of the respective black- and yellow-seeded female parents, indicating the maternal control of seed colour. The F1 plants produced yellow-brown seeds that were darker in colour than the seeds of no. 2127-17, indicating the partial dominance of yellow seed over black. In the segregating BC1 progenies of the two crosses, the frequencies of the black- and yellow-seeded plants fit well with a 1 : 1 ratio. In the cross with ,Quantum', the frequencies of yellow-seeded and black-seeded plants fit with a 13 : 3 ratio in the F2 progeny, and with a 3 : 1 ratio in the DH progeny. However, a 49 : 15 segregation ratio was observed for the yellow-seeded and black-seeded plants in the F2 progeny of the cross with ,Sprint'. It was postulated from these results that seed colour was controlled by three pairs of genes. A dominant yellow-seeded gene (Y) was identified in no. 2127-17 that had epistatic effects on the two independent dominant black-seeded genes (B and C), thereby inhibiting the biosynthesis of seed coat pigments. [source] Chromosomal localization of five mutant genes in rice, Oryza sativa, using primary trisomicsPLANT BREEDING, Issue 1 2000A. C. Sanchez Abstract The chromosomal locations of five mutant genes in rice were determined by crossing the marker stocks with the 12 primary trisomics. Genetic segregation of each gene was studied in the F2 or backcross populations. Out of the 60 possible cross combinations, 43 F2 or BC1 populations were studied. Segregation data indicated that spl11 was located on chromosome 12 while wp2 and eg2(t) were located on chromosome 6. The genes v12(t) and Bc6 were located on chromosomes 8 and 9, respectively, which are sparsely populated with genetic markers. [source] | ||||||||||
