Indo-Australian double haploid materials ACIAR/GCP

Molecular marker technologies for faster wheat breeding in India – CIM-2005-020

This project is funded by ACIAR and aims to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of Indian wheat breeding by integrating molecular technology. The double haploids in the attached lists were developed on Indo-Australian crosses by combining marker assisted selection for rust genes with double haploidy.

The overall aim of this project is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of Indian wheat breeding using molecular marker technology for key adaptive traits. The implementation of marker assisted selection (MAS) is used to speed the delivery of superior, high yielding, rust resistant cultivars to farmers. This process is facilitated by bioinformatics and the data and information generated is used to drive crossing and selection and is available to all project participants.

There are also materials in a separate list developed by crossing heat tolerant T. dicoccum lines from India and around the world with adapted Indian wheat cultivars and other sources of variation. Double haploids were then generated on hexaploid types. These materials were developed under the auspices of a Generation Challenge Program funded project.
