Discovering a QTL A major milestone or a stepping-stone into practical marker-assisted breeding? Cholani Weebadde • 25 July 2013 • ASHS, Palm Desert, CA
Outline of Presentation • How does QTL discovery inform MAB? • The RosBREED MAB pipeline - a strategy to put DNA knowledge into practical application • Workshop presentations RosBREED
How does QTL discovery inform Marker-Assisted Breeding (MAB)?
What is Marker-Assisted Breeding? Use of DNA information to support breeding decisions Which wild germplasm to use? Which traits to target? Which parents & combinations to create? Which seedlings to progress? Which selections to trial? WA2 Which advanced selections to commercialize?
What published QTLs look like • A bump on the chromosome • What does it tell the breeder??? Nothing much really! Just that there may be a gene in the “bump region” of the chromosome that is associated with the trait
Known QTLs and their application • Hundreds of published QTLs are currently available for Rosaceae crops • Of these, only a few were being used for MAB
RosBREEDhasbridgedthischasm 100s of QTLs published Marker- assisted breeding Breeding Genomics Programs Research RosBREED is dedicated to putting DNA knowledge into practical application to increase the efficiency of rosaceous crop breeding Genomics Resources More efficient development of new cultivars
RosBREED Mission Statement We will develop and apply marker-assisted breeding, based on improved knowledge of industry value and consumer preferences, to accelerate and increase the efficiency of rosaceous cultivar release and successful cultivar adoption Amy Iezzoni, Michigan State Univ.

How we bridged the Chasm…. The RosBREED MAB Pipeline: a strategy to put DNA knowledge into practical application….
Jewels in the genome analogy An individual’s genome is the full complement of genetic information that it inherited from its parents. Within this vast repertoire of genetic information, individual’s genes are being discovered that control critical production and fruit quality traits. Jewels = valuable genetic discoveries ready for breeding application = marker-locus-trait associations validated in a breeding program Find Polish Put into application in breeding
Lots of Shiny Rocks! So What?!! www.rocktumbler.com …to find the “jewels”! Each breeder needs to appraise for themselves all these “gemstones”… …to decide which ones are worth polishing…
Socio-Economics Surveys (example for apple) Breeders Washington Producers Michigan Producers Market Intermediaries LEAST important traits MOST important traits So that resources for development of genetic tests (polishing the shiny rocks) can be directed to traits with the highest importance to stakeholders…. % of respondents RosBREED
RosBREED MAB Pipeline • Integrate DNA information with conventional breeding, systematically (8-stage MAB Pipeline)
