1 A mutation in TaGW2-A increases thousand grain weight in wheat James Simmonds
2 Keeping up with demand As the world population continues to rise, demands are increasing and the rate of yield advances are slowing Global wheat production has failed to meet demand in 10 of the last 14 years (USDA The discovery of genes that beneficially impact on yield and yield components and their incorporation into breeding programs is required to address food insecurity
3 Targeting Grain Size Yield can be broken down into three major components that are fixed successively through the season spikes per surface area grain number per spike grain weight vegetative stage reproductive stage grain filling Plants m 2 Tiller/plant Tiller survival Spikes per surface area Spikelets/spike Spike fertility Grain number per spike grain weight (TGW) Yield Adapted from Slafer and Rawson, 1994
4 TILLING: Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes Studying a candidate gene... TILLING requires:- Population of (EMS) mutagenised plants High throughput screen to identify mutations in a gene of interest a reverse-genetics approach requires knowledge of gene sequence of your gene of interest non-transgenic Reverse Genetics
5 TILLING: Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes Uses Functional genomics What function does the gene have? Test hypotheses- Which of these genes is responsible for my phenotype? Translation between species Testing how genes from model species function in a crop species? Develop novel alleles Identify an allelic series gain insight into function Reverse Genetics
6 GW2 negatively regulates grain size? RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase (GW2) negatively regulates cell division; (23.4% wider) Song et al 2007 Nature Genetics Wheat Several recent association studies in wheat with contrasting results Su et al 2011 TAG, Yang et al 2012 TAG, Zhang et al 2013 Euphytica RNAi of TaGW2 in wheat have also shown contradictory results (+/- regulator) Bednarek et al 2012 JXB, Hong et al 2014 Func Int Genomics

22 TGW Variation Cadenza pop_ Field Cadenza Wide variation in TGW (and other traits) in 2014 Mutant line with the largest TGW showing a 34% increase compared to Cadenza WT Now it may be possible to uncover which mutations are causing these increases Preliminary analysis indicates we have a line with a HOM GW2_D STOP mutation in the top 5 for grain width
23 TGW Variation Kronos pop Kronos Good variation in TGW 116 lines with larger TGW than Kronos Mutant line with the largest TGW showing a 24% increase compared to Kronos WT
24 JIC Field m single row per mutant line Kronos M4 population Winter sown 985 sequenced mutants Cadenza M4 population Spring sown 1720 mutants (1200 being sequenced) Contact (cc to visit the plots
25 Summary Using TILLING we identified a splice acceptor site mutation in TaGW2-A which leads to increases in TGW in tetraploid (7%) and hexaploid wheat (10%) The increase is due to grains being both wider and longer supports previous studies that GW2 is a negative regulator of grain size Field trials for yield evaluation underway in silico TILLING will provide a powerful resource to rapidly access and combine alleles in wheat Kronos and Cadenza TILLING populations can be used for forward genetic screens
