GENETIC MAPPING ON CHROMOSOME 7B IN TETRAPLOID WHEAT (Pages : 4 - 9)

In modern wheat, gene reducing plant height conferred a yield advantage as a favourable effect through minimizing lodging. A number of major reduced height (Rht) genes have been identified and mapped on different chromosomal locations. The location of Rht9 gene was not confirmed in previous studies. In this study, 7B marker analysis was done to confirming the chromosomal location of Rht9 on chromosome 7B short and found out the common marker association with Rht13. Pigmentation of different plant organs is important for plant adaptation to some stresses. Microsatellite mapping of genes of chocolate black chaff (cc), purple culm (Pc) and chlorina (cn-B1) on chromosome 7B in tetraploid wheat have confirmed previous studies would be useful for further wheat breeding program.Download
