Association mapping in forage crop grasses Leif Skøt
Association mapping in Lolium perenne • Potential for high-resolution mapping • Evaluation of many alleles • Complements linkage mapping • Control for population structure
Traits • Water soluble carbohydrates • Ruminant productivity • Abiotic stress tolerance (drought, cold) • Flowering time • Plant development • Forage quality traits • Seed production
Alkaline Invertase locus map to QTL for Glucose and Fructose Fructose and Glucose Turner et al. New Phytol. 2005
Invertases: 1. Acid (vacuolar and Cell wall) 2. Alkaline Vacoule Fructan Glucose Fructosyl - -sugar storage -osmoregulation -response to cold stress transferase Acid Invertase Fructose Sucrose Cell Wall Glucose Chloroplast / Sucrose Acid Invertase Amyloplast Sucrose Fructose Starch Glucose Alkaline Invertase -substrates for respiration -biosynthesis of primary and secondary compounds - regulation of gene expression by sugars Fructose Cytosol
