Technical Summary
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 | Summary During the project, we have provided BBSRC with a google.doc site, which lists all DFW outputs (including data access sites, germplasm generated, datasets generated, publications, and public engagement activities). This document is updated on a regular basis. All the objectives during the DFW reporting period have been met, and many exceeded. All the committees within DFW are running including the key data coordination task force (DCTF) and Breeder's toolkit committees, both with WP1 representation. A second annual open day was held at Rothamsted in 2019 and included substantial inputs and field demonstrations from WP1. Face to face interactions, for example a DFW open day and demonstrations at Cereals 2020, both of which were cancelled, were limited in 2020 by Covid-19. However with less restrictions in place in 2021, the Cereals event was attended and 1:1 presentations were made to UK government cabinet members. Specific highlights from WP1 are: Highlights include: modelling climate impacts, new insights into how key genes (NAM1, Rht8, FT-1, NAM-1) alter the development of wheat during stem extension or grain filling with positive effects on grain number/size, and so yield and the development of new crop monitoring approaches. We implemented a haplotype-based approach across wheat cultivars which has revealed several important points for breeding. (1) We found that gene-based sequences alone were insufficient to fully differentiate between wheat haplotypes, as were commonly used array-based genotyping chips due to their gene centric design. (2) We showed that breeders have actively selected for a large region on chromosome 6A which limits potential yield gains by limiting genetic diversity in UK germplasm. (3) We successfully used the haplotype-based approach for a focused discovery of novel haplotypes from the Watkins landrace collection and documented their potential for trait improvement in modern bread wheat. These results also provide a framework for defining and exploiting haplotypes to increase the efficiency and precision of wheat breeding towards optimising its agronomic performance, as well as adaptation for target and for future environments. Specific achievements broken down into the various objectives are listed below: Work Package 1: Increased Efficiency and Sustainability Topic 1.1: Optimising ideotype (2017-2022) • Yield variability winter wheat in European cropping systems was investigated using multiple crop models • Modelling analysis of genetic yield potential and yield gaps • The genetic yield potential of wheat in Europe under 2050 climate was estimated by designing in silico wheat ideotypes based on genetic variation in existing wheat germplasm. Wheat ideotypes showed a substantial increase in yield, up to 90%, compared to current local cultivars. Ideotype design is a powerful tool for estimating crop genetic yield potential in target environments and providing traits for improvements to accelerate breeding. • Identification of a gene for providing high and low temperature tolerance during meiosis. • Wheat recognizes a long day as ~13 hours. We identified varieties that still see 13 hours as a short day. • We are identifying genes controlling this flexibility of drilling date. • Discovery of two new genes that increase crop height. • Studied the effect of high temperature on wheat development and yield using two UK wheat genotypes showing different levels of sensitivity to heat stress. • The Ph1 story was completed after 60 years, in terms of identifying the gene within the Ph1 locus responsible for controlling homoeologous recombination through use of CRISPR mutants. • Practical studies on impacts of heat stress initiated including physiological and RNAseq data • Work with CIMMYT on drought stresses initiated • From a comparative analysis of two UK bread wheat varieties under high temperature stress, a range of compounds (metabolites) was identified that enhance the capacity for detoxification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which form under stress. • Drone-based thermal imagery giving insights into drought responses of a mapping population • On wheat polyploidisation, the major meiotic gene, ZIP4, duplicated from its chromosome group 3 location and inserted into chromosome 5B. We have shown previously that this copy of ZIP4 on 5B (ZIP4 5B) promotes homologous pairing and crossover and suppresses homoeologous crossover. We therefore thought that ZIP4 5B could have a major role in stabilising fertility in this polyploid crop. During the reporting period, we showed that 56% of the meiocytes exhibited meiotic abnormalities, leading to 50% of tetrads possessing micronuclei, 50% of the pollen being small, and a near 50% reduction in grain number in wheat carrying a deletion of ZIP4 5B. Thus, the duplication of ZIP4 (ZIP4 5B) is indeed responsible for preserving up to 50% of grain number in wheat. • Identification of lines from NIAB's synthetic wheat programme which are drought resistant, whilst also having reasonable yields without drought. Preliminary data from drought trial has already been used in a successful European Plant Phenotyping Network application to study drought recovery and additionally used to identify lines for a WUE experiment to be carried out at the University of Lincoln Canopy architecture and phenology: • Identification of phenotypes for stacked loss-of-function mutations in GA2ox9 (increased height) and GA3ox2 (extreme, non-flowering dwarf). • Inclusion of ten new Rht-1 dwarfing alleles in the Breeder's Toolkit. • Triple mutants of GA20ox underdevelopment as well as gene edited lines • One Rht-1 allele has been identified as potentially providing a significant resistance to preharvest sprouting. A new GA-insensitive dwarfing gene discovered, acting downstream of Rht-1. • A field experiment has shown that mutations in GA20ox2 (rice Semidwarf-1) give a height reduction of 20-30%, depending on the strength of the D mutant allele and, in contrast to Rht-1 alleles, show good pollen release. These semi-dwarfing alleles might be useful alternatives to Rht-1, especially for hybrid wheat production. • Back-crossing mutations in various genes in GA (GA20ox4, GA3ox2, GA2ox4, GA2ox9, EUI) and strigolactone (D14, D3, SPL14, TB1) signalling. Preliminary glasshouse data show various effects on architecture, particularly culm height and tiller number. • Stacking of mutations in ABA 8-hydroxylase-1, which is involved in ABA turnover, in both red- and white-grained lines. Experiments to assess pre-harvest sprouting sensitivity indicate that partial loss of ABA turnover results in an increase in dormancy and resistance to PHS • Scanalyzer-derived data identified multiple development specific QTL for height (growth) Reproductive development: • Continued development of germplasm containing variant alleles of TEOSINTE BRANCHED1 (TB1), to test for the effect of these alleles on multiple yield-related traits. • Forward genetics screen has identified an amino acid transporter as a key regulator of spikelet architecture. • Investigation of QTL on chromosome 2DS that regulates wheat spikelet architecture, narrowing the QTL interval and five candidate genes identified. • VERNALIZATION1 (VRN1) was shown to genetically regulate the flowering time response of winter wheat to rising ambient temperatures. Optimising ideotype (April 2022 to March 2023): Determine effects of high temperature on meiosis and seed set • The wheat homologue of the Arabidopsis ATR gene, known to be involved in meiosis, was targeted in cv Fielder using CRISPR/ • 8 out of 11 regenerated lines were confirmed to be true transgenic based on the PCR-genotyping results. They are currently being genotyped for the presence of the CRISPR/Cas-induced indels in the ATR gene. • CRISPR/Cas DNA constructs are being assembled for overexpressing the wheat homologue of the Arabidopsis ASY1 gene, known to be involved in meiosis, using the SunTag system. • A binary plasmid containing the SunTag components has been assembled and transformed into wheat cv. Fielder using the Agrobacterium method. T0 regenerants are currently being grown up and should be available for genotyping. • We have now identified a 'separation of function' ZIP4 5B mutant, which has lost the 'suppression of crossover between related chromosomes' phenotype, despite retaining the homologous pairing effect. This mutant is also meiotically stable, confirming the importance of the homologous pairing effect of ZIP4 5B in stabilising wheat, rather than the suppression of crossover between related chromosomes, previously proposed by Sir Ralph Riley. • The current meiotic literature states that ZIP4 as a ZMM protein is required for just class I meiotic crossovers, which represent around 85% of crossovers during meiosis. However, ZIP4 is not required by the remaining 15% of crossovers (Class II crossovers). Tetraploid wheat possesses three ZIP4 copies. There are two copies, one on each of the group 3 chromosomes, 3A and 3B, and a third copy duplicated from 3B on chromosome 5B (ZIP4 5B). We have created a double mutant for both the 3A and 3B copies, which as expected eliminates 85% of crossovers. However, the triple mutant (also including ZIP4 5B) eliminates virtually all meiotic crossovers. This implies that contrary to the literature, in wheat, ZIP4 (5B) is required for class II crossovers as well. This data is being written up for publication. Literature reports that the loss of chromosome 5D in the wheat variety Chinese spring leads to disruption of its meiosis and complete sterility when the plants are subjected to low temperatures (below 13 degrees C). Previously, we have mapped this effect to a 4Mb region of chromosome 5D containing the major meiotic gene Dmc1. We also observed that loss of this 4Mb region resulted in disrupted meiosis when plants are grown at either low or high temperatures. We have generated CRISPR Dmc1 5D deletion mutant in Chinese Spring and have used this mutant to now demonstrate that this 5D allele is responsible for providing cold and heat tolerance. This data is being written up for publication. Wheat ideotype design for target environments • A computational framework for wheat ideotype design based on the Sirius crop model has been completed and tested in diverse European environments for current and future climates. Identify stem extension and phenology genes • Inclusion of NIAB germplasm in Rothamsted 2022 phenotyping trials; phenology also assessed within NIAB's wider 2022 DFW germplasm screening as traits for GWAS. • We published work on a gene which affects basal spikelet development and flowering (High expression of the MADS-box gene VRT2 increases the number of rudimentary basal spikelets in wheat) https://doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiac156. • Inspired by the paper above, we have conducted RNA-Seq of central and basal sections of spikes to see variation within a spike at different time points. Analysis is ongoing. • Epistasis studies have demonstrated that a new gibberellin signalling gene acts downstream of RHT-1 to control stem elongation. • Publication on changes in phytohormone and transcriptional profiles during wheat leaf expansion following water restriction. Modify inflorescence to improve wheat yield • We identified micro-RNA resistant alleles of the homeobox domain transcription factor, HB-2, which modify wheat inflorescence architecture and vascular development to improve grain protein content. These alleles are now being investigated in CIMMYT and Australian breeding programs. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abn5907. • We have map based cloned a QTL on chromosome 2DS that regulates inflorescence architecture in wheat to reduce spikelet branching, potentially contributing to improved yield-related traits (e.g., floret fertility). • We created a high-throughput phenotyping approach to quantify wheat stigma and ovary morphology. We demonstrate the suitability of the approach, which uses light-microscopy imaging and machine learning, for the analysis of floral organ traits in field-grown plants using fresh and fixed samples. https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.200889 • We investigated basal spikelet development in UK winter wheat cultivars, and VRT-A2 NILs, using shading applications in the field. We propose that basal spikelet abortion is most likely the consequence of complete floret abortion as both are happening at the same time and have the same response to shading treatments. Furthermore, we found that the developmental age of florets pre-abortion is an important factor for their likelihood to survive abortion. This work will be posted on bioRxiv shortly. Identify genes and alleles controlling grain size and yield • We have recently published the cloning of the P2 gene which affects grain length and spike architecture (The Triticum ispahanicum elongated glume locus P2 maps to chromosome 6A and is associated with the ectopic expression of SVP-A1) https://doi.org/10.1007/s00122-022-04114-y. • A publication of a mutant line with altered spikelet number and grain protein content (MicroRNA-resistant alleles of HOMEOBOX DOMAIN-2 modify inflorescence branching and increase grain protein content of wheat) https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abn5907. • We have conducted RNA-Seq of developing carpels and are trying to link this with grain size. • Year 3 field assessment of Rht-1 and GA wheat mutants for yield and associated traits is in progress. Additional new mutants with altered gibberellin metabolism have been included in these yield plots. • A family of transcription factors downstream of T6P has been identified in the regulation of grain size. Topic 1.2: Enhancing resource use (2017-2022) • Identification of new genes and biological processes that influence the formation of grain-producing florets in wheat, and that the variation for these genes can improve the nutritional content of grain by boosting protein levels. Work has identified genes that transport nitrogen-based nutrients around the plant, providing genetic insights into how we might be able to grow plants with less fertilizer inputs. • Importance of T6P metabolism being investigated in diversity panels and for precursor treatments in field trials Soil/root interactions: • X-ray imaging has determined that wheat root elongation behaviour is regulated by soil bulk density. • Field experiments found genotypic effects with respect to soil water uptake. • Comparison of the growth of wheat exposed to root impedance, either by a confining pressure in a sand culture experiment or by soil drying, at a range of nitrate availabilities. • Extraction of undisturbed 1m soil columns for X-ray Computed Tomography imaging to reveal in situ root-soil interactions. Multiple (>60) field cores (1m depth) taken from DFW trials in 2019 at Rothamsted and scanned using Nottingham X- ray CAT scanner. Root analysis in progress. • Electrical resistance tomography under Scanalyzer used to measure root activity • Interactions between root impedance and P-availability investigated • Modelling of penetrometer resistance completed • Links between soil moisture and root length distribution determined • Soil structure accounts for c.60% of the variation in root number density at depth in soil across a range of genotypes (greater than any differences between genotype alone suggesting the importance of the soil environment on root behaviour). Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE): • Analysis of an N-related pathway in wheat varieties to establish (i) response to N fertilizer application and capture of N, and (ii) to retain N within the plant under drought stress. • Genome-wide identification, phylogeny and expression profile of the Nitrate/Peptide Transporter gene family • Trehalose 6-phosphate shown to coordinate sink strength with photosynthesis through regulation of sucrose transport. • The DFW toolkit, including Breeders Toolkit (150-300 lines per year) in field trials for performance in multiple years (2017-21). • The Paragon x Chinese Spring population was screened under the Rothamsted field scanalyzer, leading to the identification of growth-stage specific QTL. • Nitrogen variety trials undertaken under Scanalyzer to investigate dynamics of responses to N-application • Genetic diversity in GS and links to N losses in wheat investigated • Ammonia losses measured in relation to apoplastic ammonia levels and nitrogen fertilizer application • Detailed analysis of genes families for specific amino acid and nitrate transporters (NPF) in wheat completed • Further analysis of specific amino acid transporters for their role in delivery of N to grain seed • A recent publication examined 'A roadmap for lowering crop N requirements' Innovative technologies: in-field phenotyping: • Optimized development of cost-effective phenotyping and phenotypic analysis. • Low-cost ground-based technology developed using raspberry pi devices (Crop Quant) • New algorithms for identification and quantification of specific wheat growth phases from images developed using Scanalyzer data extended to any RGB image capture device including drone based • Substantial application of machine learning and deep learning approaches adopted for wheat crop image analysis • Electrical resistance tomography under Scanalyzer used to measure root activity • Breeders Toolkit (BTK) material extensively phenotyped at both John Innes and Rothamsted using drone technology and under phenotyping gantries at both sites • Practical algorithms developed for automated counting of wheat ears in images of plots • Development of algorithms to adjust for sunlit and shaded areas of canopies in images, necessary for calculation of multiple vegetative indices. • Improved methods to extract information on canopy development and senescence from drone captured images • Development of drone-based thermal imagery to evaluate water use in trials • Development of protocols for imaging individual leaf thermal measurements (using the Scanalyzer) to compare with drone acquired data Enhancing resource use (Apr 2022-Mar 2023) Identify underpinning genes for root response to nutrient availability • A paper submitted on N-responsive transcriptome and metabolome of selected Watkins lines with diverse root and field NUE characteristics. • We have conducted RNA-seq of the flag-leaf post-anthesis for Watkins landrace-derived NILs and Paragon under low N and high N field conditions and are trying to link this with N-utilization efficiency. Describing root distributions in field soil cores • 3 publications in preparation. One focused on a lab experiment looking at compaction x water content impacts on early wheat growth. One focused on a nitrogen experiment with some interesting results concerning genotypic variation. One focused on soil structure impacts on different genotypes with 3 years of data. (Also a paper in prep on imaging wheat ears under different N treatments). All to be submitted before April 2023 if not earlier. December 2022 • We measured root-length density on a number of wheat lines and changes in soil moisture at hourly intervals at different soil depths in Woburn. We are calculating root water uptake and use to phenotype roots Generate required datasets to improve accuracy of QTL • Field trials of Watkins, NAM panels and biparental crosses all being grown at Rothamsted and Brooms Barn farms and being phenotyped by ground and drone observations. All data going into GrassRoots. • The Zn-NAM panel with 400 Paragon x Watkins lines was grown at both Rothamsted and Brooms Barn. Grain yield at final harvest was measured and grain samples kept for mineral and thousand grain weight analysis. Mineral analysis is complete, once thousand grain weight has been measured the complete dataset will be analysed for QTL. All data is being prepared in Grassroots format. Increased Efficiency and Sustainability (April 2022-March 2023) 1. Use the Sirius wheat framework to assess genetic yield potential and yield gap across wheat mega environments by optimising wheat ideotypes under current and future climates • Genetic yield gap was estimated as 51% across global wheat mega environments by optimising wheat ideotypes under current climates demonstrating that global wheat production could be doubled by genetic improvement without increasing global wheat area (published in Nature Food). • Genetic wheat yield potential under future climate across key wheat growing areas was estimated. Results in preparation for Nature Climate Change • Vulnerability of wheat to heat and drought stresses during reproductive development was estimated across major what areas under climate change using the latest CMIP6-based climate scenarios. (Results in preparation for Nature Sustainability). • The best performing doubled haploid crosses with an increased canopy photosynthesis from wheat field experiments in the literature were extrapolated to the global scale with a multi-model ensemble of process-based wheat crop models to estimate global wheat production. The multi-model ensemble projected a global annual wheat production of 1050 Mt due to the improved canopy photosynthesis (a 37% increase) without expanding cropping area. (published in Env Res Letters). • We explored the performance of an ensemble of 29 wheat crop models to predict the effect of changing sowing dates and rates on yield and yield components, on two sites located in a high-yielding environment in New Zealand. We show that models simulate seasonal growth of wheat well under standard sowing conditions but fails under early sowing and high sowing rates. Models need to better account for tiller competition for light, nutrients, and water during vegetative growth, and early tiller senescence and tiller mortality, which are exacerbated by early sowing, high sowing densities, and warmer winter temperatures. (published in J. Exp. Botany). 2. The initial characterisation of genes affecting yield, yield stability and efficiency including exploitation of TILLING and GE (All); initial characterisation of the role of a trehalose phosphate synthase gene in grain size using gene editing (GE), TILLING and spikelet imaging. • We have phenotyped the T1 segregating population of trehalose 6-phosphate synthase 7 (tps7) mutant lines (generated using CRISPR/Cas) and identified a number of interesting phenotypes characterised by changes in spike morphology and seed size . • We are currently in process of linking the phenotype of the T1 segregants to their genotype by genotyping for CRISPR/Cas-induced indels, in the three TPS7 genes, using PCR and Sanger sequencing • We have delivered single and double TPS7 mutants to CG and MP. We have also assembled sextuple TPS7 mutants which we are bulking and will send to CG and MP in October. • The method for X-ray imaging of spikelet morphology has successfully been developed and ready for use when material is available. • Sextuple mutants ready for characterisation 3. Screening Watkins accessions (up to 827) for new alleles and candidate genes that impact wheat canopy and root architecture, grain size and spike architecture traits, including basal spikelet floret sterility using glasshouse and field trials, exploiting the Rothamsted Scanalyzer for whole growth cycle analysis and RNA-Seq of selected lines). • 800 lines of Watkins grown under the Scanalyzer, data collected weekly until early June after which severe lodging issues. • 600 Watkins lines grown in triplicated field plots also being phenotyped • We are currently growing the Watkins lines at JIC for grain morphometrics and spike architecture characterisation. • The Watkins core collection (119 lines) has been screened for sensitivity to gibberellins (GAs) and a subset analysed for gibberellin metabolic profiles. Lines showing altered GA response and metabolism profiles have been identified. • We have phenotyped the Watkins lines from the field experiment and are currently conducting haplotype-based GWAS analysis on them. • The Watkins core collection (119 lines) has been screened for sensitivity to gibberellins (GAs) and a subset analysed for gibberellin metabolic profiles. Lines showing altered GA response and metabolism profiles have been identified. • 618 Watkins lines were grown in a replicated field experiment and phenotyped for anthesis date, height, grain and straw yield at final harvest. Grain and straw samples were saved for mineral analysis, grain samples for thousand grain weight. Drones with hyper and multispectral sensors were also used throughout the growing season for capture of growth trait data. The experiment is to be grown for three years, then the data used for GWAS analysis. • The full population was grown in unreplicated plots under the Rothamsted Scanalyser and phenotyped through the growing season to anthesis. • Selected Watkins accessions were validated for altered GA-responsive seedling growth and three lines selected for further characterisation. Screening of Paragon NAM lines will commence when seed is available in early 2023 4. Characterise new Rht-1 dwarfing specific alleles for preharvest sprouting resistance better than currently available alleles (e.g. Rht2/Rht-D1b) (Cadenza and introgressed elite lines). • ST: A third year assessing new Rht-1 and gibberellin 'architecture' mutants in yield plots is ongoing. Assessment of grain dormancy, HFN will be complete by Dec 2023. • Dormancy assays conducted on grain harvested from Rht-1 field trial (year 2) has identified selected alleles that show increased dormancy and may have the potential to improve PHS resistance. • Phenotypic data collected from 28 Rht-1 and gibberellin 'architecture' mutants. Dwarfing alleles demonstrating consistent effects on architecture and grain yield have been identified, including those that are higher yielding than Rht-D1b in the Cadenza background. More detailed spike phenotyping has been conducted to establish the spatial effects on grain number/ spikelet. 5. Integrating a functional root model that takes account of soil structure into a crop model using Sirius and X-ray CT scan data and a preliminary investigation of rooting depth in novel phytohormone mutants • Preliminary experiment complete. New high resolution imaging method for comparing rhizosphere v bulk soil developed. Preliminary pore scale modelling has revealed differences in structure are considerable and confer significant impacts on water dynamics. Full experiment from large field cores collected in 2021 has now begun. Imaging will be complete end of Aug 22, Modelling by end of 22 and paper by end of April 23. • Full experiment from large field cores collected in 2021 has been completed. Modelling data is now coming through, early results are positive. Some further data will be collected early 2023 followed by some more modelling. All experimental work and analysis will be completed by end of April 23 and a paper ready for submission by end of summer 2023. • The modelling work focused on two areas: Firstly, we have investigated the physical property change in the rhizosphere with images from UoN; secondly, we have explored the response of root water uptake to rainfall. For the former, we identified significant increase in the ability of the rhizosphere soil to transport and store water, and for the latter we found that the change in topsoil water content functions as a signal regulating the hydraulic architecture of roots and how roots take up water from the whole soil profile. We calculated hydraulic properties of the bulk and rhizosphere soils of wheat using CT images acquired by Nottingham from undisturbed soil cores; the results showed a considerable difference though the variance was big; we have started to investigate the consequence of this change for resource uptake. • Experimentally, we have sown a diverse selection of wheat hormone mutants that are altered in gibberellin, ethylene, auxin and strigolactone signalling at Woburn to establish their effects on root length and distribution. In addition, we have set up a logged soil moisture monitoring experiment on commercial wheat at Woburn. On this experiment we will measure root length distribution periodically and use the soil moisture data to estimate root length density using the method we developed. • Field grown gibberellin, ethylene, auxin and strigolactone signalling mutants have been assessed for rooting depth and differences observed. • The root model is ready for integrating with the SIRUS model. • Two papers in progress with one under review by PCE and one more planned. 6. Implementation of a new low-cost portable phenotyping device • A Plotcam implemented and tested (3D camera, RGB camera, accelerometer etc). • PH: Inclusion of NIAB germplasm in Rothamsted 2022 phenotyping trials; also testing NIAB's own low-cost portable system to track canopy development within NIAB's wider 2022 DFW germplasm screening. • The handheld plotcam was assembled and used on the 2022 Watkins field experiment to collect RGB imagery for extraction of canopy cover data and to compare the data with imagery simultaneously collected from drones. • Automated workflows for data extraction and time course analysis are being implemented. • Finely detailed 3D-imaging of wheat ears being investigated to complement X-ray CT analysis. |
| Exploitation Route | • Breeders are using germplasm and molecular markers to produce new wheat varieties • Data from phenotyping and final yield performance is available on GrassRoots: https://grassroots.tools/dfw/ • Suppressor screens have led to the identification of around 40 novel Rht-1 dwarfing mutations. Many other alleles are in the pipeline and backcrossing to remove excess mutations is in progress. These novel alleles are much in demand by the wheat breeders. • Root exudates may play and important role in metering water up take by roots. • Improved workflow for drone imaging especially using thermal imagery useful for drone-based crop monitoring providers. • 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 • New algorithms for rapid crop phenotyping may be adopted by the breeding industry to advanced crop improvement • Very important implications for breeders to consider the 'field soil' environment during screening and development of new lines. Furthermore, recommendations on soil management to maximise the development of biopores at depth in soil could have important agronomic consequences which will be demonstrated over time. • The design of wheat ideotypes could provide an effective roadmap for plant scientists and breeders to identify target traits for crop improvement and genetic adaptation to maximise wheat yields under future climates. • The availability of new improved dwarfing alleles for wheat breeders. • Alleles have been identified that increases GPC by 25%, and in the process, as well as other inflorescence architecture genes that boost GPC. We anticipate these will be of interest to breeding companies that aim to increase the quality of grain. Similarly, our work on an amino acid transporter has provided insights into how plants respond to nutrient input conditions, which may lead to genetic strategies for improving nitrogen use efficiency in crops. This work will require additional funding, development of germplasm and cooperation with breeders. • We have developed backcrossed (to BC3), stacked mutation in the three homoeologues of numerous genes in wheat hormone signalling pathways, including GA, ABA and SL. A number of these have potential for use in crop improvement to modify various aspects of crop architecture and environmental responses. These lines throw light on the role of plant hormones in controlling crop development and the response to the environment and will be invaluable in further investigation of these processes. • Identified compounds protective against oxidative stress may be targeted for breeding and further investigated as potential beneficial agro-chemicals. • Findings from drought trial being used as preliminary data for future funding application with University of Essex focused on drought recovery and photosynthesis • We have shared the germplasm for the novel P1 allele and the new Watkins haplotypes for chromosome 6A with the UK and international breeding community through the WP3 Breeders' Toolkit. We have also shared germplasm with the IWYP US hub. • We have made all genetic markers and associated information available through publications. • We have had 1-to-1 meetings with four major wheat breeding companies to go in depth into the haplotype-based approach and how they can use this within their breeding programmes. This is now being further developed for future research programmes on how to implement these approaches. • We developed a haplotype visualisation browser (www.crop-haplotype.com) to allow users to work with the data in an interactive manner. This will allow its more effective use within research and industrial programmes. |

| Description | Findings have been used in terms of delivery of results and germplasm to stakeholders (breeders, CIMMYT), sharing of data, creation of a spin-out company and multiple examples of media engagement. Delivery of germplasm Key to this work package of DFW is trait dissection, mechanistic understanding of processes involved, germplasm development and delivery to industry via WP3. This includes germplasm and markers for increased yield through altered phenology, new diagnostic haplotypes for alternative semi-dwarfing genes, new QTL and nitrogen use efficiency for grain yield. All useful traits are incorporated in the Breeders Toolkit and directly accessed by breeders. • There is significant commercial interest in novel alleles of 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. A further 5 Rht-1 (15 in total) have been included in the BTK. All alleles are currently being introgressed into 3 elite varieties. • Provision of germplasm to CIMMYT for improved grain quality traits such as improved GPC, which includes alleles detected in the Cadenza TILLING population. We have also continued to work with KWS for a floret architecture trait, and the outcomes of this work is contributing to a patent application. • We recently cloned the P1 gene which affects glume, floral organ size and grain weight (Adamski et al 2020 bioRxiv). We introduced the novel allele into the DFW WP3 Breeders' Toolkit and this was found to increase grain weight, albeit not grain yield. Importantly though, we found significant increases across sites for specific weight, which is an important breeding target. • We worked to decipher the genetics of a major grain yield effect on chromosome 6A (Brinton et al 2020 Communications Biology). We used a haplotype-based approach and found that breeders have maintained multiple genes as an intact chromosome 6A haplotype to maximise phenotypic expression and have consequently limited genetic diversity across the chromosome. We used this information to identify additional haplotypes across this region which have a potentially beneficial effect and have not been tested in UK agriculture. These three novel haplotypes have been incorporated into the DFW WP3 Academic Toolkit and as such will be evaluated shortly. • Lines from the NIAB drought trial with good performance under drought were shared with University of Lincoln for water use efficiency (WUE) studies. • Phenotyping of performance of all lines in the Academic and Breeders Toolkits achieved as part of WP1 and data is delivered to WP3 and the breeders. Take up of technology by industry Improvements in automated phenotyping (drone technology, algorithms) allows more detailed and higher throughput of germplasm screening. Considerable industry interest is being shown in algorithms developed and in possible roll out of drone-based technology. Development of spin-out company Formation of spinout company SugaROx, which has now been registered with Companies House Media engagement BBC Radio 4, Farmers Weekly, Farming UK, CPM Magazine, Western Morning News and Devon Live report on research showing subsidies paid to farmers for protecting the environment will lead to more stable incomes compared to other forms of payment (Harkness et al 2021, Stability of farm income: the role of agricultural diversity and agri-environment scheme payments. Agricultural Systems, 187: 103009). Appearances on Country File and Channel 4 Food Unwrapped TV programmes amongst others. Sharing of data All data is being placed in a common DFW data depository (Grassroots) with free access. Data from NIAB drought trial has been shared with the Semenov group to be incorporated into the Sirius crop model which will be widely applied, and additionally data was used as part of a successful European Plant Phenotyping Network application. Presentations have been made at multiple international meetings, at the annual Defra WGIN Stakeholders meeting and at the key industry sector event, Cereals, when held, including in 2021 and 2022. |
