DFW - Designing Future Wheat - Work package 1 (WP1) - Increased efficiency and sustainability
Lead Research Organisation:
Rothamsted Research
Department Name: Unlisted
Abstract
Increasing yield, both intrinsic yield and closing of the yield gap, must be achieved with increased efficiency and sustainability with regard to fertiliser and water input. Increased yield and efficiency in both higher and lower yielding environments, in present and future climates, requires genetic improvements in yield traits per se, as well as in tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. WP1 addresses two topics with shared objectives across the wheat and other JIC, RRes, EI and IFR programmes. Both require intensive high throughput field phenotyping, aided by the newly- established unique RRes and JIC facilities for in-field automated phenotyping, focussed on wheat research and employed to evaluate novel germplasm, including donor germplasm, segregating and TILLING populations. WP1 also includes further development of specific automated high throughput field phenotyping methodologies for monitoring wheat performance, the genetic dissection of key traits and the development of improved germplasm. Exploiting these approaches, WP1 researchers will dissect a range of traits using the germplasm and other resources developed within DFW. These traits include those involved in tolerance to drought and temperature stress, root and shoot development, crop height, inflorescence and grain architecture, seed size and architecture, root response to nutrient availability, use of nitrogen and other nutrients. The effect of these traits on biomass, and the potential and stability of grain yield, will be quantified.

| Description | • A number of genes involved in plant architecture and response to stress are being evaluated for exploitation in wheat through analysis of mutations, identified through TILLING. Most are loss-of-function in genes with three functional homoeologues, so initial crossing to achieve triple homozygous lines is required. So far, we have identified novel phenotypes for knock-outs in GID1, (reduced stature), DIM (reduced stature/increased flag leaf angle), BRI1 (reduced stature, GA2ox3 (increased stature) and D14/D3 (increased tillering). A gain of function mutation in SPL14-B1b results in reduced tillering and increased culm strength. Suppressor screens have led to the identification of around 40 novel Rht-1 dwarfing mutations that will allow precise control of plant height and potentially other traits such as preharvest sprouting resistance. Many other alleles are in the pipeline and backcrossing to remove excess mutations is in progress. • Wheat genotypes with contrasting response to high temperature stress identified. • We have identified a series of differentially expressed genes in near isogenic lines differing for grain size in wheat (Brinton et al 2017 New Phytologist, Brinton et al 2018; BMC Plant Biology). We have now identified a strong candidate gene for this phenotype which we are currently testing using Cas9-mediated gene editing and EMS mutants. We are working with industry (Limagrain and RAGT) to understand the frequency of the mutant allele in UK germplasm and its impact on yield under UK environment. • We have generated triple GW2 mutants which show an additive dosage effect on grain size with triple mutants having on average 21% heavier grains than wild type plants with three functional homoeologs. The three mutant alleles alongside the corresponding KASP marker are currently being used by DFW partners breeders (RAGT, KWS, Limagrain, Bayer, Syngenta). Near isogenic lines of the A genome mutant are also being grown as part of the Breeder's Toolkit. • We explored the effects of microbial activity on the evaporation of water from cores of a sandy soil under laboratory conditions. We applied treatments to stimulate microbial activity by adding different amounts of synthetic analogue root exudates. For comparison, we used soil samples without synthetic root exudates as control and samples treated with mercuric chloride to suppress microbial activity. Our results suggest that increasing microbial activity reduces the rate of evaporation from soil. Estimated diffusivities in soil with the largest amounts of added root exudates were one third of those estimated in samples where microbial activity was suppressed by adding mercuric chloride. We conclude that root exudates may play and important role in metering water up take by roots. • The traditional first-derivative interpretation of percolation characteristics measured by mercury intrusion, and analogously by porometry or water retention, can lead to false suppositions. We have identified an improved method of analysis which, with the aid of stochastic inverse modelling, allows a more realistic estimate of the sizes of voids within a porous material, and identifies those voids within the estimate that are actually void clusters. • Improved workflow for drone imaging especially using thermal imagery. Data for JIC and Reading and improved population trials. Indications of influences of irrigation, genotype and time of day. • RNASeq transcriptomic datasets collected for roots and node tissues of wheat, across multiple genotypes and varied N-input. Analysis in progress. • Multiple genes for amino acid transporters identified which are expressed in discrete grain tissues and potentially involved in grain N accumulation • Modelling predicts that drought tolerance during reproductive development is important for achieving higher yield potentials and greater yield stability for wheat under future climate change in Europe. • Continued development of phenotyping, including ear counting, canopy development, cross mapping of sensor information. |

| Description | • There is significant commercial interest in novel alleles in wheat architecture genes. Novel mutants in genes involved in gibberellin biosynthesis and signalling are being introgressed into winter and spring cultivar to be assessed as alternatives to Rht-1 dwarfing alleles. Novel Rht-1 dwarfing alleles are expected to be available for inclusion in the BTK by the end of 2019. • Genetic diversity for heat tolerance enables breeding of climate resilient crops for mitigating negative impacts of global warming on crop yields. • Drought stress during reproductive development could drastically reduce grain number in wheat, but quantitative evaluation of such effect is unknown under climate change. For the first time we quantified potential yield benefits of drought tolerance during reproductive development under climate change and identified potential cultivar traits for improvement. We concluded that tolerance to drought stress during reproductive development is important for high yield potentials and greater yield stability of wheat under climate change in most of the wheat growing regions in Europe. Our analysis could potentially accelerate breeding programmes by identifying target traits for wheat improvement in a changing climate. • Improvements in automated phenotyping will allow more detailed and higher throughput of germplasm screening. Considerable industry interest is being shown. |
