WP1: Genomic characterisation and analysis of minor cereal accessions
Objectives | WP1 deals with the genetic characterization of genetic resources for spelt and wild relatives (emmer, einkorn, Aegilops etc.) as well as for oat and rye. Further, in the case of spelt, a genome-wide association integrating the results of WP2 and WP7 will be carried out and allele-mining in spelt for specific genes will be performed. WP1 also includes a direct screening for disease resistant through ecoTILLING for alleles of specific known resistance genes and mapping of selected disease resistance sources in segregating spelt and oat populations. Genotypes identified as potentially disease resistant will be used for field experiments in WP3. |
