  1. WP 9- FROST TOLERANCE IN OAT P8 Agricultural Research Council CRA-GPG Fiorenzuola, Italy Avena Genetic Resources for Quality in Human Consumption (AVEQ) Final project meeting Tuesday 19th – Thursday 21st October 2010 6th Meeting of the ECPGR Avena Working Group Thursday 21st – Friday 22nd October 2010 Bucharest, Romania

  2. Among winter cereals, oat is the most frost sensitive and its insufficient level of winterhardiness is the main factor limiting winter sowing in many major oat growing regions in Europe Fiorenzuola 1996-’97 -15°C without snow

  3. Frost resistance not only improves winter survival but is also a fundamental component in high yielding winter cultivars IS THERE GENETIC VARIABILITY FOR THIS TRAIT?

  4. Sixty-two genotypes with different origin (Europe, North America) were grown in Northern Italy (Fiorenzuola) in 1996-’97 Frost damage was estimated by a visual score (0: no damage 9: all plants killed) Range between 3 and 9 (mean 5.8) A BROAD GENETIC VARIABILITY FOR WINTERHARDINESS EXISTS IN OAT

  5. WINTER HARDINESSis assessed in the field as ability to survive throughout the winter FROST TOLERANCE,the main component of winter hardiness is a crucial factor for cereal cultivation, not only improves winter survival but is also a fundamental component in high yielding winter cultivars In winter-sown cereals the acquisition of frost tolerance is associated with the occurrence of a cold HARDENING adaptive process at low non-freezing temperature LARGE GENETIC VARIABILITY FOR BOTH TRAITS IN CEREALS(Ex. barley, diploid model for the Triticeae )

  6. AVEQ PROJECT Workpackage 9: PARTECIPANTS P8 Agricultural Research Council CRA-GPG Fiorenzuola, Italy (Valeria Terzi) P9 Sucaeva Genebank, Sucaeva, Romania (Danela Muraru) P10 IPGR “K.Malkow”, Sadovo, Bulgaria (Nadia Antonova) OBJECTIVES Field screening for cold tolerance for up to 500 accessions Growth chamber tests for cold tolerance for 100 accessions

  7. FROST TOLERANCE EVALUATION AT FIRST LEAF STAGE hardening treatment (3/1°C) for 4 weeks Plants at first leaf stage cold acclimated during 4 weeks at 3/1° C (day/night), 200E m-2 s-1. Hardened plants are subjected to a freezing treatment at temperature from -10 to –13°C

  8. Chlorophyll fluorescence responds to changes in PSII photochemistry and therefore represents a convenient and rapid tool to evaluate the capacity of the photosynthetic machinery at low temperature. = 0.8 in dark-adapted healthy plants Fv Fm-F0 --- = ---- Fm Fm PAM-2000, Walz, Effeltrich, Germany The ratio of variable to maximal fluorescence (Fv/Fm) in dark-adapted state measures the maximum quantum yield for PSII photochemistry and represents a diagnostic probe for measuring low temperature stress-induced injury of photosynthesis Rizza et al. (Plant Breed.120: 389-396, 2001).

  9. one further reason of interest.... Compare the reliability of direct evaluations of FROST TOLERANCE and WINTER HARDINESS Intermediate-high tolerance Optimize a simple and reliable protocol for PHENOTYPING LARGE POPULATIONS Breeding Biodiversity Association mapping

  10. ‘NURE’ x ’TREMOIS’ LINKAGE MAP Third leaf Fr-H2 First leaf Two QTLs for frost tolerance were mapped on barley chromosome 5H. QTL for three distinct measures of low-temperature resistance are coincident Fr-H1 Fr-H1 is closely linked to Vrn-H1 vernalization response locus Francia et al.,Theor Appl Genet (2004) 108:670–680

  13. THE SELECTED GENOTYPES growth chamber experiments 2008 FREEZING STRESS AT TWO MINIMUM TEMPERATURES -10°C discrimination of the most frost susceptible genotypes -12°C good discrimination of genotype with intermediate or superior FT • On the basis of the two experiments (ANOVA, LSD0.05): • 6 genotypes were identified as the most susceptible • “ “ “ tolerant (4 with Fv/Fm close to 0.78)

  14. The best genotypes Fv/Fm 24h recovery breeding line Mean 104 genotypes** 0.45 Range (min-max) 0.11 ÷ 0.77

  22. in progress............some more questions ... To which extent the evaluation of the plant response in EARLY GROWTH STAGE or EARLY ACCLIMATION state plays a critical role in determining the potential (maximum) frost hardiness? Is there genetic variability for the plant capacity for “early acclimation?” Can we further simplify our evaluation of frost tolerance? CAN WE CONTRIBUTE IN UNDERSTANDING THE BASIS OF THE FROST TOLERANCE CAPACITY?

  23. SUBOPTIMAL HARDENING TEMPERATURE Crosatti et al. Planta 196:458-463, 1995 The TRESHOLD TEMPERATURE for COR14 accumulation is higher in the resistant cv Winter, Resistant Spring, Susceptible The ability to induce early hardening is of advantage under field conditions, where temperature falls progressively, because it enables resistant plants to prepare for cold before the susceptible ones.

  24. THE SELECTED GENOTYPES growth chamber experiments 2010 104 oat genotypes (included 9 standards) out of 317 of the set 1 Plants at first leaf stage wereexposed 3 weeks at suboptimal hardening temperature12/7°C. Freezing stress at -6°C and -7°C

  25. Freezing -7°C after acclimation at suboptimal hardening temperature (12/7°C, day/night). SET 1 Mean 104 genotypes** 0.70 0.29 Range (min ÷ max) 0.66 ÷ 0.78 0.02 ÷0.75

  26. Comparison between laboratory tests (“early” or “standard” hardening) and with the field data for set 1

  27. about the AVEQ project...... WP9. The experiments planned in the AVEQ project are concluded, with the only exception of the second field in Romania for the evalaution of winter hardiness in the second set of 106 accessions (set 2) This is due to a modified organization of the laboratory tests (200 accessions instead of 100) and a consequent oganization of the field experiments (environment subjected to severe frost) beyond the objectives..... • effect of hardening at suboptimal hardening conditions (12/7°) for the set 2 • one more stress temperature to test frost tolerance under “standard”hardening conditions (common publication) - interest for analysing wild species, landraces...(adaptability, breeding)

  28. .........and beyond? POSSIBLE QUESTIONS frost tolerance and winter hardiness: how to dissect the components of WINTER HARDINESS (development traits. vernalization, photoperiod, earliness per se) in a large number of genotypes? GEOGRAPHYCAL ORIGIN BREEDING EFFECTS use of SELECTED MOLECULAR MARKERS for traits affecting winter hardiness (vernalization and photoperiod).The best approach? What plants need for adaptability to the PRESENT and FUTURE environmental conditions?
