Genetic studies of cold tolerance in barley by Somvong Tragoonrung A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Crop and Soil Science Montana State University © Copyright by Somvong Tragoonrung (1992) Abstract: The poor efficiency of selection for improved cold tolerance in winter barley has been attributed to a combination of complex inheritance and difficulties in trait assessment. Several physiological parameters have been used as selection criteria for cold tolerance. However, definitive analysis of the Mendelian factors controlling these parameters has not yet been performed. The objectives of this research were to genetically investigate the relationships among characters associated with winter survival and to identify the chromosomal locations of genes controlling those traits. One hundred doubled haploid lines derived from F1 plants from a cross between Dicktoo (winter) x Morex (spring) were used to study the genetics of field survival, LT50, fructan content, flowering date and prostrate growth habit. A medium density linkage map was constructed from these doubled haploid lines using DNA, protein isoenzyme, and morphological markers. This map was then utilized to identify the location of quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with these traits. Sequence-tagged-sites (STS) were developed for polymerase chain reaction as DNA (PCR) markers. Significant correlations between crown fructan content and winter hardiness parameters were detected. These results suggested that fructan content may be one factor contributing to cold tolerance. However, selection based on high fructan content did not positively improve other winterhardiness associated traits. The STS-PCR system facilitated map construction in this cross. A set of 77 DNA markers were resolved into eight linkage groups and distributed to seven chromosomes. Large QTL effects for fructan content and all winter hardiness parameters except prostrate growth habit were detected in a region of approximately 20 centiMorgans on the long arm of chromosome 7. Careful analysis of lines carrying recombination breakpoint within this 20cM interval suggested that at least 2 genes affecting measured parameters were located within this interval. This interval analysis suggested that the association among at least some of these traits is due to linkage rather than pleiotropy. Smaller QTL effects modifying characters measured in this study were detected on chromosome 2 and chromosome 5.
