2022 article

Profiling of Fusarium head blight resistance QTL haplotypes through molecular markers, genotyping-by-sequencing, and machine learning

Winn, Z. J., Lyerly, J., Ward, B., Brown-Guedira, G., Boyles, R. E., Mergoum, M., … Murphy, J. P. (2022, July 24). THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS, Vol. 7.

By: Z. Winn n, J. Lyerly n, B. Ward*, G. Brown-Guedira* , R. Boyles *, M. Mergoum *, J. Johnson*, S. Harrison * ...

MeSH headings : Chromosome Mapping; Disease Resistance / genetics; Fusarium; Genotype; Haplotypes; Humans; Machine Learning; Plant Breeding; Plant Diseases / genetics; Quantitative Trait Loci
TL;DR: This research investigated whether QTL haplotypes can be accurately predicted using SNPs derived by genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) and indicated that machine learning may be utilized in breeding programs to accurately predict QTL Haplotypes in earlier generations. (via Semantic Scholar)

2021 journal article

Analysis of the primary sources of quantitative adult plant resistance to stripe rust in US soft red winter wheat germplasm

PLANT GENOME, 14(1).

By: B. Ward*, K. Merrill n, P. Bulli *, M. Pumphrey *, R. Mason*, M. Mergoum*, J. Johnson*, S. Sapkota * ...

MeSH headings : Chromosome Mapping; Disease Resistance / genetics; Genome-Wide Association Study; Plant Breeding; Plant Diseases / genetics; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Quantitative Trait Loci; Triticum / genetics; United States
TL;DR: Relatively few lines carry resistance alleles at all three loci, suggesting that there is a pre‐existing reservoir of enhanced stripe rust resistance that may be further exploited by regional breeding programs. (via Semantic Scholar)

Predicting Fusarium Head Blight Resistance for Advanced Trials in a Soft Red Winter Wheat Breeding Program With Genomic Selection

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE, 12.

By: D. Larkin *, R. Mason*, D. Moon*, A. Holder*, B. Ward* & G. Brown-Guedira n 

author keywords: genomic selection; Fusarium head blight; wheat; resistance; multi-trait genomic selection; forward prediction
TL;DR: Overall, GS models were comparable, if not better than phenotypic selection for FHB resistance traits and shows that MTGS models can be effective for forward prediction when there are strong correlations between traits of interest and covariates in both training and validation populations.

Role of Effector-Sensitivity Gene Interactions and Durability of Quantitative Resistance to Septoria Nodorum Blotch in Eastern US Wheat

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE, 11.

By: C. Cowger n , B. Ward n, G. Brown-Guedira n  & J. Brown *

author keywords: Parastagonospora nodorum; Septoria nodorum blotch; quantitative resistance; genotyping by sequencing; genome-wide association study; necrotrophic effectors; necrotrophic effector sensitivity genes
TL;DR: The evidence is reviewed that in this eastern region of the U.S., wheat cultivars have durable quantitative SNB resistance and Snn–NE interactions are of limited importance. (via Semantic Scholar)
