Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] Narrow-leaf lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) was first recorded as having been introduced into Germany during the mid-19th century for use as green manuring and as fodder crops. However, it was not until post World-War I that there was any serious attempt to domesticate the species. Since that time several key domestication genes have been incorporated to enable the species to be grown as a crop over a range of climates, harvested as a bulk commodity and, the seed used for both animal and human consumption. However, the recent domestication of this species has seen a rather limited use of wild germplasm largely as a result of the difficulty in retaining these key domestication genes. To make the task of retaining these genes manageable, it was decided to resort to molecular technology. A mapping population of F8 derived recombinant inbred lines (RILs) has previously been established by the Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia, from a cross between a domesticated breeding line 83A:476 and a wild type P27255 in narrow-leaf lupin. The parents together with 89 RILs (of a population of 115) were subjected to DNA fingerprinting using microsatelliteanchored fragment length polymorphism (MFLP) to rapidly generate DNA markers for construction of a linkage map. Five hundred and twenty two unique markers of which 21% were co-dominant, were generated and mapped. Phenotypic data for the domestication traits: mollis (soft seeds), leucospermus (white flower and seed colour); Lentus (reduced pod-shattering), iucundis (low alkaloid), Ku (early flowering) and moustache pattern on seed coats; were included. Three to 7 molecular markers were identified within 5 cM of each of these domestication genes. The anthracnose resistance gene Lanr1 was also mapped. Linkage groups were constructed using MapManager version QTXb20, resulting in 21 linkage groups consisting of 8 or more markers. ... Five pairs of QTLs were found to be involved in epistasis, 2 of these having an effect on early vigour and another 3 influencing the time to opening of the first florets. Variation explained for each trait ranged from 28% for seed size, to 88% for days to flowering. We showed that it was possible to use this data to predict genotypes of superior progeny for these traits under Mediterranean conditions. QTL regions were compared on a second published linkage map and regions of conserved synteny with the model legume Medicago truncatula high-lighted. The work presented in this thesis demonstrates the importance of tight linkage between markers and genes of interest. It is especially important when dealing with genetically diverse material as found in the wild. One of the main problems faced by molecular scientists is the phenomenon known as linkage disequilibrium in marker populations caused by either small population size or 4 insufficient opportunity for recombination. This frequently results in the development of markers with little or no application outside of the population in which it was developed. Although the relatively small size of the population used in this study exposes it to such constraints, in this case excellent and valuable results were achieved in developing useful markers to at least 3 of the domestication traits within a relatively short time period of less then 4 years.

Download or read book The Lupin Genome written by Karam B. Singh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on lupin genomics primarily focuses on the narrow-leafed lupin (NLL), and details the genomic resources that have been developed and how they are currently being used to help advance both fundamental and applied research on NLL in areas ranging from its domestication to plant–microbe interactions and syntenic relationships between NLL and other legume crops. It also reports on genomic efforts being pursued with regard to other lupin crops. Lupins are important ecological ‘engineers’: they can colonise and thrive in low-nutrient soils due to their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen in symbiosis with bacteria and efficiently take up phosphorous. Recently, lupins have attracted considerable interest, not only because of their value for sustainable farming as a break crop, but also as a potential ‘super food’ for fighting major health issues in connection with diabetes and obesity. Narrow-leafed lupin is the main grain legume crop, grown primarily in Australia, and was therefore selected for the development of a reference lupin genome and associated genomic resources. Its genome has recently been sequenced with a focus on the gene-rich space, which has advanced the development of new breeding tools for the improvement of NLL and related lupin crops.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] Necrotrophic fungi have been one of the major constraints to lupin production and genetic and agronomic control of these diseases has so far been limited. Current evidence suggests that the interaction of these pathogens with susceptible plants involves the induction of programmed cell death (PCD), which is referred to as apoptosis in animal systems. Transgenic manipulation of PCD pathways could be a viable strategy for engineering necrotrophic pathogen disease resistance into crop plants. This project investigated the effect of baculovirus anti-apoptotic p35 gene on necrotrophic fungal diseases in narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius). In addition, work was initiated to investigate the underlying basis for low transformation efficiency and reduced transmission of transgene between T0 to T1 in this plant species. The baculovirus anti-apoptotic p35 gene was inserted into lupins using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The p35 gene was confirmed to be integrated into the lupin genome, inherited in a regular fashion in T2 to T4 plants and expressed in leaves, stems and roots. The presence of the transgene did not appear to have any effect on visible growth and development of p35 transgenic plants. P35 transgenic lupin lines were challenged with three necrotrophic fungal diseases, anthracnose, pleiochaeta root rot and pleiochaeta brown spot. Reduced susceptibility to all three necrotrophic fungal diseases was observed in some of the 12 p35 transgenic lupin lines tested in glasshouse experiments. These results support the hypothesis that fungal necrotrophs induce PCD in lupin plants as part of the disease syndrome and implicates a role of uncharacterised lupin caspase(s) in the compatible lupin-necrotrophic pathogen interaction. The localisation of a transgene in T0 lupin stems was assessed to inform future efforts to improve lupin transformation efficiency and overcome the problem of ii reduced transmission of transgenes to T1 plants. Cellular localisation of the gus transgene in T0 lupin stem sections showed it was expressed in sectors. ... The transformation efficiency of a gus gene construct was much higher than the observed frequency of transformants in non-p35 germplasm, indicating a possible role of Agrobacterium in inducing PCD and thereby reducing transformation efficiency. These findings should be confirmed and utilised in optimising lupin transformation protocols. This research confirmed previous results with other plant-pathogen interactions, where the p35 construct also inhibited necrotrophic pathogen disease. The use of the p35 gene gave an important opportunity to improve understanding of plantnecrotrophic pathogen interactions in lupin and other crops in general. The findings provide a solid basis for further research into genetic manipulation of necrotrophic pathogen resistance and also, for more efficient lupin transformation. The findings also support the hypothetical presence of functional caspase enzymes in apoptotic pathways of PCD in plants. It is hoped that increasing public acceptance of genetic manipulation will lead to utilisation of these results for the benefit of world society in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grassland farming in Europe was already established during the settlement of the rst farmers together with their domesticated animals after the last ice age. Since then, grassland provides the forage basis to feed ruminant animals for the p- duction of meat and milk. Depending on the ecological conditions and intensity of usage, various plant communities with different species developed, displaying a rich biodiversity. With the introduction of improved crop rotations at the end of the 16th century, grasses and legumes were also grown to an important extent as forage crops on arable land. In the last decades the importance of amenity grasses increased markedly, due to the demand of the society for new usages like landscape protection. Around 1900 interested farmers and academics identi ed the need for gra- land improvement through systematic selection and seed production. This marks the beginning of breeding and research in companies but also at universities and specialized research institutes. Plant collection started with many of the species that are still of importance today. The collected materials were grouped according to the intended use and some type of phenotypic selection was applied. Seed mul- plication of such populations was performed in pure stands and the harvested seed was marketed. Although the vegetative biomass and its quality are of utmost imp- tance in forage crop breeding, it is the seed yield potential which determines the commercial success of a new variety.
