• Combined the SP1/EMB/US (IGD) panels: 480 member association panel
SP1/EMB (SSR-based) SP1/EMB/US (SNP-based)
Genotyping and Phenotyping of Sorghum Association Panel
• Initially genotyped with Illumina 1536 SNP chip by Martha Hamblin (IGD-Cornell) • Currently being genotyped by sequencing by Ed Buckler and Sharon Mitchell as part of their NSF BREAD grant .
-Developed multiplexing approach to sequence multiple samples in one lane of Illumina High-Seq. - Developed a bioinformatics pipeline for SNP ID - Hope to add 100,000 to 200,000 SNPs to each member of association panel.
• Have phenotyped entire panel for Al tolerance – waiting for genotyping to be completed to conduct GWAS on Al tolerance. • Have phenotyped the IGD part of the panel (converted lines) for P efficiency at Embrapa. •Will soon phenotype panel for P efficiency and root architecture in low P soils in greenhosse at Cornell
ALUMINUM TOXICITY IN CROP PLANTS
•Al3+ is the major toxic species
•Dramatic inhibition of root growth
•Root apex is the site of toxicity
•Genetic variation in Al tolerance has led to identification of Al tolerance genes/mechanisms

Three experiments (9x9 simple lattice) with three
replications were conducted at two sites (Janauba in
Minas Gerais and Teresina in Maranhão) to evaluate
243 entries of the IGD sorghum panel. Two control
entries were repeated in each sub-block.

grain yield at both sites.
• The reduction of grain yield under drought was 46%
compared to experiments conducted in controlled
conditions in Janaúba and approximately 30% in Teresina -

Maize Breeding Lines Diversity Panel
• Have assembled a set of 190 maize inbred lines adapted to tropical conditions.
• Are phenotyping these in the field for drought related traits (grain yield, stay green, plant height, etc) at same field sites as for sorghum work – Janaúba and Teresina.
• Drought imposed by with holding water for 50 until 80 days after sowing, then irrigation re-applied.
• Also developed test cross panel by crossing 143 of the inbreds with L3 and 178 inbreds with l 228.3. L3 and L228-3 represent the two maize heterotic groups.
• The test cross lines also phenotyped at the two sites under similar conditions.

Genotyping Maize Inbred Line Panel
• Initially genotyped with 1536 SNP chip • Approx 100 of the inbred lines have been genotypes by GBS in Buckler lab. The rest will be done soon. About 70,000 markers per line right now. • Will we have enough markers to do GWAS analysis of maize drought tolerance? • Is LD for these lines greater than in Buckler diversity panel as lines more related? •Need professional help in analyzing data from test crosses.

Exploring Rice Root Architecture in 3 Dimensions Using a Diverse Set of Oryza sativa and Oryza rufipogon
Accessions
Randy Clark – Oryza sativa Janelle Jung – Oryza rufipogon
Randy Clark Janelle Jung
Primary Objectives •To survey the range of variation in seedling 3-D root morphology observed within the rice diversity panel using the gellan gum culture system
•To quantify and characterize seedling root growth and root system architecture traits in a diverse set of 400 O. s. and 100 O. r. accessions using RootReader 3D platform.
•To develop a standard ontology of rice root system architecture (RSA) traits
•To identify seedling root architecture traits that distinguish O. r. and O. s, or that are correlated with enhanced yield or stress tolerance
•To run association mapping analyses using the 950K SNP platform to identify QTL controlling these root architecture traits in O. sativa & O. rufipogon
Research Overview
NSF-TV Rice Diversity Panel
• 100 O. rufipogon accessions
Chosen for
• Genetic diversity
• Country of origin – natural range
• Vegetative trait variation – tiller angle and stolon presence
• Reproductive trait variation – yield, heading date, panicle and seed traits Geographic origin of O. r. panel accessions
Rice Diversity Panel -- 500 accessions – Association Mapping
• 400 O. sativa accessions Chosen for
• Genetic and geographic diversity • Genomic and agricultural significance
Experimental Design
• 400 O. sativa accessions (NSF-TV) (15-18 weeks)
• 100 O. rufipogon accessions (NSF-TV) (4-6 weeks)
• 168 IR64 x Azucena SSD lines (6-8 weeks)
30 plants/batch, 3 batches/week 3 reps (individuals) per accession 1 rep at a time (30 accessions per batch) O.s.: 28 unique, 2 internal controls O.r.: 27 unique, 3 internal controls (1 O.r., 2 O.s.)
Time course: Imaging at 3, 6, 9, 12 days past planting
GWAS of Rice 3D Root Architecture Traits
• Have completed phenotyping rice for 3-D RSA traits under control conditions in gel-based media. Phenotyped the McCouch’s NSF-TV rice diversity panel (500 lines) and also bi-parental mapping population (168 lines).
• That involved phenotyping approximately 2000 individual plants in gellan gum cylinders.
• Roots imaged at 3, 6, 9, & 12 days after planting to include dynamic growth parameters. • Randy is in Taiwan for the summer where he as nearly completes 3D reconstructions and quantification of his 20 RSA traits. • GWAS analysis will be completed in Fall with 950k SNP chip.
• Will begin to phenotyping sorghum (and then maize) for 2-D and 3-D RSA, including our sorghum association panel, and the Embrapa maize breeding panel.
• Need to begin determining physiological relevance of specific RSA traits – looking at their role in nutrient (P and N), and water acquisition.
• The gel-based system is not optimal for some stresses such as P deficiency and drought – thus we are developing a sand-based culture system where we control water potential or P availability for subsequent analysis of 2D RSA and shoot/root biomass under stress (P efficiency and drought tolerance). Then need to move onto to soil-based studies.
• Need to look at correlation of RSA traits between 2-D and 3-D analysis.
