1 AWARD NUMBER: Improving barley and wheat germplasm for changing environments Triticeae CAP (T-CAP) 56 participants, 28 institutions, 21 states

2 Integration of wheat and barley research communities The T-CAP includes: 56 participants 28 institutions 21 states. Most have previous experience in the BarleyCAP and WheatCAP projects States with former BarleyCAP and WheatCAP programs States with WheatCAP programs States with BarleyCAP programs Project-wide resources and activities Genotyping labs, SNP development, KS also GBS National Small Grain Collection Database, web resources & tools Project direction Education coordination Industry liaison coordination

3 Objectives Discover and deploy beneficial alleles from diverse wheat and barley germplasm (NSGC cores and elite materials). Accelerate breeding through marker-assisted selection and genomic selection. Implement sequence-based genotyping methodologies to discover new allelic diversity. Implement web-based tools to integrate marker-assisted selection and genomic selection strategies into breeding programs. Develop and implement a Plant Breeding Training Network to train the next generation of plant breeders.

4 Management structure

5 Germplasm and populations Objective 1: Discover and deploy beneficial alleles from diverse wheat and barley germplasm Barley and wheat NSGC cores 2,571 H. vulgare; 4,231 wheat (hexaploid and tetraploid) accessions Five NAM populations Barley and wheat elite AM panels Collaborative winter wheat breeding populations Wheat and barley breeding program germplasm Wild barley introgression population Specialized genetic stocks and populations (NILS and RILs)

6 Wheat core collection NSGC 3129 Triticum aestivum subsp. aestivum 6x BA u D Domesticated, Free threshing 11 Triticum aestivum subsp. compactum 6x BA u D Domesticated, Free threshing 11 Triticum aestivum subsp. sphaerococcum 6x BA u D Domesticated, Free threshing 9 Triticum aestivum subsp. macha 6x BA u D Domesticated, Hulled 130 Triticum aestivum subsp. spelta 6x BA u D Domesticated, Hulled 1 Triticum vavilovii 6x BA u D Domesticated, Hulled Triticum turgidum subsp. durum 4x BA u Domesticated, Free threshing 61 Triticum turgidum subsp. turgidum 4x BA u Domesticated, Free threshing 13 Triticum turgidum subsp. carthlicum 4x BA u Domesticated, Free threshing 26 Triticum turgidum subsp. polonicum 4x BA u Domesticated, Free threshing 22 Triticum turgidum subsp. turanicum 4x BA u Domesticated, Free threshing 83 Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccon 4x BA u Domesticated, Hulled 3 Triticum turgidum subsp. paleocolchicum 4x BA u Domesticated, Hulled 3 Triticum ispahanicum 4x BA u Domesticated, Hulled 89 Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccoides 4x BA u Wild, Hulled 19 Triticum timopheevii subsp. armeniacum 4x GA u Wild, Hulled 25 Triticum timopheevii subsp. timopheevii 4x GA u Wild, Hulled Seed increases from single plants were grown and phenotyped in ID Aberdeen for height and heading time.

7 Barley core collection NSGC all H. vulgare Growth habit Spike Source 2,100 spring; 376 winter; 95 facultative 639 two-row; 1,213 six-row; 46 mixed; 673 no data 1,033 cultivars & breeding lines; 1,150 land races; 31 genetic stocks; 357 undetermined. Total 2,571 accessions from 105 countries and regions Seed increases from single plants ( 2500) were grown and phenotyped in ID for height and heading time. This project will change the paradigm of how we utilize germplasm resources for barley and wheat improvement from a view centered on the characterization of accessions to one centered on the discovery and deployment of valuable alleles

Test own 50 lines & 150 exchanged lines. Provides large pops, leverage all phenotyping of breeding, genetic variation. Each program accesses alleles from other programs that may be rare in theirs.
