  1. CAPTURING VALUE FROM SUPER-HIGH-OIL CORN --A partnership of Brownseed Genetics-BDI-UWRF/WiSys--- Focus Areas for Today’s Presentation • Drivers and value potential in a new Ag paradigm • The L601 hat trick • Collaborative tool development to capture the value

  2. NEW PARADIGM = FEEDING AND FUELING ---double duty for grain supply--- • Increasing global population (8.3 billion by 2030) • Rising prosperity in densely populated regions • Rising cost of non-renewable fossil fuels • Reduction in farmland per person • Climate Change

  3. CORN HAS TREMENDOUS VALUE BASIS ---$52 billion grain basis value in 2007--- • 93.6 million acres planted • 86.5 million acres harvested • 151 bu/acre average yield • 13 billion bushels produced • $52 billion at $4/bushel 2007 Production year Data source = http://www.nass.usda.gov/QuickStats/PullData_US.jsp

  4. MANY PRODUCTS WITH PREMIUMS FROM 1 BUSHEL OF CORN $0.20 – 0.35 high oil premium in 2002* 1.6 lbs Standard Corn 2.7 gal CORN OIL *http://www.vegrains.org/documents/2002veg_report/toc/tablecont.html ETHANOL 32 lbs SWEETNER 32 lbs STARCH 13.5 lbs PROTEIN 2.6 lbs GLUTEN

  5. NEW VALUE POTENTIAL --BIODIESEL / ETHANOL / FOOD / FEED-- SHO Corn Starch to Ethanol DDGs to Feed Extract Oil BioDiesel Food

  6. MARKET SHARE & PREMIUMS = LARGE $$ POTENTIAL Market Share Premium ($/bushel) Value ($) 1% $0.20 $26,000,000

  7. L601 – SUPER HIGH OIL ---The Star of This Show--- • Super-high-oil inbred (L-601) with 22% developed by Brown Seed Genetics, WI (USP 7,378,579) • Hybrid with 12% oil and consistent in production • Increased protein & High digestible starch Regular dent x L-601 Standard hybrid 601 - L Seed characteristics of L-601

  8. THE GOAL = ADD SHO TRAIT TO COMMERCIAL VARIETIES Inbreds with Super High Oil Commercial Inbreds Hybrids with Super High Oil Inbred 1 Inbred 2 Inbred 3 Inbred 4 …….. Inbred 1/SHO Inbred 2/SHO Inbred 3/SHO Inbred 4/SHO …….. Hybrid 1/SHO Hybrid 2/SHO Hybrid 3/SHO Hybrid 4/SHO …….. MAB/ Inbred Production Hybrid Production

  9. NEW TOOLS NEEDED TO ENABLE RAPID BREEDING OF SUPER HIGH OIL TRAIT Conversion Time Conversion Cost Commercial Inbred Commercial Inbred/SHO MUCH MORE Conventional breeding MORE Marker-assisted breeding LESS MUCH LESS

  10. COLLABORATIVE TOOL DEVELOPMENT --Funded in part by Applied Research Grant-- Brownseed Genetics, Inc. BioDiagnostics Inc. UW River Falls WiSys

  11. PROJECT GOALS • Find genetic loci required for super high oil • QTL mapping • Develop high-throughput molecular markers • SNP discovery • Enable MAS system for rapid transfer of SHO to any corn line of interest.

  12. GOAL 1 FIND THE GENTIC LOCI FOR SUPER HIGH OIL

  13. QTL MAPPING STRATEGY Generate Segregating Population Parental Screen Population Screen SNP Discovery • 2 parents • 650 SSR • All bins L601Xstandard • 500 plants • 110 SSR • All bins • Oil levels • QTL mapping • QTL cartographer Sequence SSR-anchored BACs • ~500 F2 plants • 2 locations

  14. SUCCESS • Created genetic map with coverage of 1437 cM • Good coverage of maize genome • Identified six QTLs associated with the SHO phenotype • Six QTLs explained 79% of total phenotypic variance • Developed DNA-based markers for MAS system • Some markers still in development

  15. THE VISION IS BECOMING REALITY --FAST—ACCURATE—COST EFFECTIVE-- Customer leaf samples from breeding pop Determine individuals with SHO Report Results in 4 days to 2 weeks ~$15-$25 per sample • Quantitative PCR-based method

  16. A TEAM EFFORT Chandra-Shekara, A.C. BioDiagnostics, Inc. Robert Biolozynski BioDiagnostics, Inc. Victor Piazza BioDiagnostics, Inc. Charles Brown Brownseed Genetics, Inc.
