| Abstract: | Pre-harvest sprouting of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var durum) reduces commercial grade, although the actual effects on processing quality are controversial. Little is known about the genetics of the dormancy component of pre-harvest sprouting resistance in durum. We studied the segregation of dormancy in 98 recombinant inbred lines from a cross of a relatively non-dormant line, CI13102, with a moderately dormant line, Kyle. The lines and parents were grown in field tests over three years, 1996, 1997 and 1998. Spikes were collected at approximately 20% moisture and stored at −23 ∘C. Hand-threshed grain of the lines was germinated, and number of seeds germinated was counted each day. A germination resistance index was calculated to characterize dormancy. Dormancy appeared to be complexly inherited in this cross. Lines were observed that were significantly (P < 0.05) more dormant than the parents. The lines transgressive for dormancy expressed in different combinations of the three environments, indicating an environmental interaction. DNA of lines and parents was tested with simple sequence repeat primers and AFLPs that were used in quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis of dormancy. Significant QTLs for dormancy were found, with the most notable being on chromosome 1A, where other QTLs for pre-harvest sprouting resistance have been reported in common wheat. |
