Classical methods - such as crossbreeding of different parent varieties and Subsequent selection of progeny - are combined with novel molecular biological approaches. Smart breeding uses molecular-biological methods (e.g. gene mapping, mutagenesis) to characterize initial plants with desirable breeding properties. Methods of vegetable tissue culturing and subsequent regeneration of intact plants essentially reduce the steps among classical crossbreeding, selection of desirable breeding results and subsequent propagation. The breeding targets, such as e.g. resistance to diseases and pest infestation, stress tolerance (e.g. against dryness, salt, heat) or changed components (e.g. fatty acid pattern) are lastly achieved by means of classical breeding, i.e. by combination of suitable parent varieties, thus leading to useful, not genetically engineered plants.}, added-at = {2008-06-04T14:37:55.000+0200}, author = {Friedt, Wolfgang}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/230435d7d17c44e4b3c5c09749f7e308f/ipzgiessen}, interhash = {f8cff604b8a402a1b2ade6e33efacfdd}, intrahash = {30435d7d17c44e4b3c5c09749f7e308f}, issn = {0174-0008}, journal = {ERNAHRUNGS-UMSCHAU}, keywords = {IFZ imported}, number = 3, pages = {108+}, timestamp = {2008-06-04T14:37:55.000+0200}, title = {Smart breeding}, volume = 54, year = 2007 } @article{ISI:000247239100001, abstract = {Genetic diversity in spring bread wheat (T.aestivum L.) was studied in a total of 69 accessions.

Because production of this major oilseed crop is expanding rapidly and no approved fungicides are available for V longisporum, long-term control of the disease can only be achieved with cultivars carrying effective quantitative resistance. However, very little resistance to V longisporum is available within the gene pool of oilseed rape, meaning that interspecific gene transfer from related species is the only possibility for broadening levels of resistance in current varieties. The amphidiploid species B. napus can be resyn-thesized by crossing the two progenitor species Brassica oleracea and Brassica rapa, hence resistant accessions of these two diploid species can be used as resistance donors. In this study a total of 43 potential B. rapa and B. oleracea resistance donors were tested with regard to their reaction to a mixture of two aggressive V longisporum isolates, and resistances from diverse lines were combined by embryo rescue-assisted interspecific hybridization in resynthesized rapeseed lines.

Different resistance genes against these viruses have been mapped and suitable PCR-based markers have been developed. In this respect doubled haploid (DH) populations proved to be advantageous as they facilitate a repeated test for resistance against all agents of the barley yellow mosaic virus complex and besides this, dominant marker systems are as informative as co-dominant ones in DHs due to the lack of heterozygous genotypes. Using DH populations resistance genes rym4, rym5, rym11, rym13, rym15 and the BaYMV/BaYMV-2 resistance of the barley cultivar �Chikurin Ibaraki 1� have been mapped. DHs are also well suited to pyramiding resistance genes against BaMMV and BaYMV. Since homozygous recessive genotypes are more frequent in DHs than in segregating F-2 populations, DHs can be efficiently used to create broad-spectrum resistance and to extend the usability of partly overcome resistance genes. Results from employing two different strategies for pyramiding, based on one and two DH-steps, respectively, combining three recessive resistance genes, i.e. rym4/rym5, rym9 and rym11, are presented.

Due to a continually increasing demand for rapeseed oil for food and non-food uses, the production of hybrid cultivars with higher seed and oil yields has become increasingly important in recent years. However, the systematic use of heterosis for hybrid breeding in oilseed rape is limited by the relatively narrow genetic basis of adapted germplasm, which can impede the generation of distinct heterotic pools. In the present study experimental hybrids were developed from a population of 190 DH lines derived from a cross between an elite, double-low seed quality (zero erucic acid, low glucosinolate content) winter oilseed rape variety and a semi-synthetic line derived from a genetically diverse resynthesised rapeseed line with high erucic acid and glucosinolate contents. The DH lines were crossed with a male sterile tester and the resulting test hybrids were examined for yield performance at two locations in Hesse, Germany, that exhibit extreme differences in climatic conditions and soil characteristics. Mid-parent heterosis for seed yield was determined at both the agronomically optimal location Rauischholzhausen and the marginal site Niederhorlen. A value of up to 43% mid-parent heterosis for seed yield could be observed among selected test hybrids compared to that of their parental DH lines. The heterosis level for yield was particularly high at the nutrient-poor site, where the best test hybrids showed significantly higher yields than elite open-pollinating and hybrid varieties.
