Crosses between commercially acceptable varieties and introductions are most likely to generate segregation at many loci of commercial importance. The probability of recovery, after selfing, of individuals in which most of the favourable alleles have been accumulated is very low. Reducing the number of favourable alleles heterozygous in the breeding population would increase the probability of success. The utility of a single backcross (BC1) to the parent with the greatest number of favourable alleles was examined as a method of fixing commercially desirable alleles. The means for stability parameters for yield for BC1F2-derived populations were similar to those for F2-derived populations. The genetic variance for yield in 2 of the 3 crosses studied was greater for the BC1F2- than the F2-derived populations, while the genotype x environment interactions appeared to be smaller for the BC1F2 populations. This suggested that BC1F2-derived populations may be more productive, in terms of varietal production, than F2-derived populations, particularly in species with a long breeding history and/or a large number of desirable characteristics.

Twenty-one lowland rice genotypes were evaluated for their stability parameters with respect to grain yield in a multi-locational trial at five different sites of Eastern India viz. Central Rice Research Institute, Cuttack (Orissa); OUAT, Bhubaneswar (Orissa); CRS, Masodha (UP); RAU, Pusa (Bihar) and RARS, North Lakhimpur (Assam). Pooled analysis of variance reflects existence of genotype x environment interactions and contribution of both linear and non-linear components to genotype x environment interactions. Through stability parameter analysis, it was found that Rayda B3, CR 778-95 and CR 661- 236 were suitable for all environments. The genotypes Sabita and OR 1358-RGA-4 were suitable for better environments. PSR 1209-2-3-2, CR 780-1937, Ambika, OR 877-ST-4-2, NDR 40055-2-1 and CR 662-2211 were identified for poor environments.

AbstractDistinctness, Uniformity and Stability (DUS) is an intellectual property system introduced in 1961 by the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) for safeguarding the investment and rewarding innovation in developing new plant varieties. Despite the rapid advancement in our understanding of crop biology over the past 60 years, the DUS system has changed little and is still largely dependent upon a set of morphological traits for testing candidate varieties. As the demand for more plant varieties increases, the barriers to registration of new varieties become more acute and thus require urgent review to the system. To highlight the challenges and remedies in the current system, we evaluated a comprehensive panel of 805 UK barley varieties that span the entire history of DUS testing. Our findings reveal the system deficiencies such as inconsistencies in DUS traits across environments, limitations in DUS trait combinatorial space, and inadequacies in currently available DUS markers. We advocate the concept of genomic DUS and provide evidence for a shift towards a robust genomics-enabled registration system for new crop varieties.

SummaryThe technique of regression on environmental index is used to examine the behaviour of varieties in monoculture and mixture. It is shown that, sometimes, single regressions for each variety do not provide an adequate explanation of the interactions between varieties and environments.

Climate change poses serious challenges to achieving food security in a time of a need to produce more food to keep up with the worlds increasing demand for food. There is an urgent need to speed up the development of new high yielding varieties with traits of adaptation and mitigation to climate change. Mathematical approaches, including ML approaches, have been used to search for such traits, leading to unprecedented results as some of the traits, including heat traits that have been long sought-for, have been found within a short period of time.

The main task of plant breeding is creating of high-yield, resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses crop varieties with high product quality. The using of traditional breeding methods is limited by the duration of the new crop varieties creation with the required agronomic traits. This depends not only on the duration of growing season and reaching of mature stage of plants (especially the long-period growth plants, e.g. trees), as well as is associated with applying of multiple stages of crossing, selection and testing in breeding process. In addition, conventional methods of chemical and physical mutagenesis do not allow targeting effect to genome. However, the introduction of modern DNA-technology methods, such as genome editing, has opened in a new era in plant breeding. These methods allow to carry out precise and efficient targeted genome modifications, significantly reducing the time required to get plants with desirable features to create new crop varieties in perspective. This review provides the knowledge about application of genome editing methods to increase crop yields and product quality, as well as crop resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. In addition, future prospects for integrating these technologies into crop breeding strategies are also discussed.

Consistent Performance

The influence of genotype x environment interactions on the performance of `Autumn Bliss' `Heritage' and `Redwing' primocane-fruiting (PF) red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) cultivars was studied at six sites across Ontario and Quebec during 1989 and 1990. Cultivar × location × year interactions were found for most vegetative and reproductive components analyzed. `Autumn Bliss' had the most consistent performance of the three cultivars in all location/year combinations, while `Redwing' varied greatly between environments. `Heritage' was always the latest-bearing of the three cultivars and failed to achieve its maximum yield potential in many of the northern locations.
