Physiological breeding II: a field guide to wheat phenotyping

It is estimated that more than 95% of organic production is based on crop varieties that were bred for the conventional high-input sector. Recent studies have shown that such varieties lack important traits required under organic and low-input production conditions. This is primarily due to selection in conventional breeding programmes being carried out in the background of high inorganic fertilizer and crop protection inputs. Also, some of the traits (e.g., semi-dwarf genes) that were introduced to address problems like lodging in cereals in high-input systems were shown to have negative side-effects (reduced resistance to diseases such as Septoria, lower protein content and poorer nutrient-use efficiency) on the performance of varieties under organic and low-input agronomic conditions. This review paper, using wheat, tomato and broccoli as examples, describes (1) the main traits required under low-input conditions, (2) current breeding programmes for organic, low-input agriculture, (3) currently available breeding and/or selection approaches, and (4) the benefits and potential negative side-effects of different breeding methodologies and their relative acceptability under organic farming principles.

The need to breed crop varieties suitable for organic farming, using wheat, tomato and broccoli as examples: A review

The present paper focuses on the physiology of yield potential in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), because breeding progress in yield potential has overtaken farm yield progress. The paper examines developments largely in the last 10 years seeking routes to higher yield potential. Lately this subject has come under pressure from two new imperatives: perceived slowing of genetic progress and ambitious functional genomics. Analysis of trials between 1996 and 2005 at the CIANO research centre in northwest Mexico suggests that yield potential progress in CIMMYT spring wheats has slowed to around 0·50% per year, but has not ceased there nor in winter wheats elsewhere. Meanwhile, in the last 10 years or so, physiological understanding has advanced somewhat. Increased kernel number/m2 remains strongly associated with genetic progress in grain yield, and new research reinforces the importance of spike dry weight (g/m2) at anthesis in its determination. Lengthening the spike growth period through manipulation of sensitivity to photoperiod looks promising, but more attention to kernels per unit of spike weight is also urged. With respect to plant height, an optimum somewhere between 0·7 and 1·0 m is accepted and we are moving away from infatuation with the Norin 10 dwarfing genes as a way of reaching that. What has not been achieved is good lodging resistance in all short spring wheats, nor a complete understanding of its physiological basis. New information is coming to light on the possible role of stored stem reserves at anthesis, for these reserves appear to have increased as yield potential has increased. Part of the benefit may be related to assimilate supply per kernel around anthesis, which new understanding suggests is important for maximum potential kernel weight. Nevertheless, results continue to suggest that despite more kernels/m2, the most recent wheats are still largely sink-limited during grain filling. Growing evidence from spring and winter wheat (and from rice and maize) now points to the importance of increased photosynthetic activity before and around flowering for recent genetic increases in yield potential. This opens up new possibilities for selection in field plots. Finally, attention is given to effects of weather on yield potential and recent advances in techniques for elucidating the physiological basis of genotype by year interactions. From physiological understanding such as described, traits can be suggested as possible selection criteria for yield potential. However, apart from the ACIAR/CIMMYT project looking at stomatal aperture-related traits as well as source and sink traits (Condon et al., in press; Reynolds et al., in press; van Ginkel et al., in press), there appear to have been few attempts to validate physiological (or morphological) selection criteria for wheat yield potential in the last decade, but recent promising results with spectral reflection indices could foreshadow more validation work. This contrasts with efforts to improve the performance of wheat (and maize) under water-limited conditions, and with the new plant type and super rice approaches of IRRI and China, respectively. Such research could be mapped out for wheat yield potential improvement, and could lead to more efficient breeding for yield potential and/or faster progress, but it requires a multidisciplinary team, including, nowadays, molecular biologists. It also needs suitable controlled and field environments and substantial long-term support. All this may no longer be available in the public sector, at least at a single location.

Lodging-related morphological traits of hybrid rice in a tropical irrigated ecosystem

Growth and morphology of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) culms and their association with lodging: effects of genotypes, N levels and ethephon

Throughout the world, lodging in cereals causes great losses in yield each year. A two year field study was conducted to determine the relationship of morphological traits to lodging resistance in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding lines and to find easily measurable traits related to lodging resistance. A set of 15 breeding lines, representing a wide range of combinations of plant height and lodging resistance, was evaluated.



During the first year, 29 morphological traits were measured at two growth stages and correlated with the lodging score. Higher correlations were found for traits measured at anthesis (DC 65) than for traits measured at maturity (DC 92); most of the fresh weight traits correlated better to lodging resistance than did the corresponding dry matter parameters. During the second year the six traits of plant height, stem length, stem diameter, ear weight, stem weight and stem weight per cm were measured at anthesis and correlated with the lodging score.



From the pooled data of four experiments, significant correlations between the lodging score and single morphological traits were found for stem diameter and stem weight per cm. Thicker stems and heavier stems (mg per cm) were indicative for better lodging resistance. Stem diameter and stem weight cm−1 explained 48.5 % and 49.7 %, respectively, of the phenotypic variation in lodging resistance. Multiple linear regression equations indicated that 77.2 % of the variation in lodging resistance was based on stem weight cm−1 and on the weight of the ear.
