1 Investigations into biomass yield in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) Ulrike Anhalt 1,2, Pat Heslop-Harrison 2, Céline Tomaszewski 1,2, Hans-Peter Piepho 3, Oliver Fiehn 4 and Susanne Barth

2 Contents of presentation Ryegrass, economy, breeding objectives Background of inbred plant material and population F2 genetic map Phenotypic experiments Results phenotypic and QTL studies Metabolite approach Further directions

3 Perennial ryegrass Irish economy Irelands agricultural product 2001 agricultural land 2003 Perennial ryegrass is one of the most productive forage species in Irish grasslands Source: Compendium of Irish statistics 2004

4 Breeding objectives in ryegrass Improved yield Improved forage quality Persistency Resistance to crown rust and other diseases Improved abiotic stress tolerance Growth in shoulder periods of the season

5 Breeding for biomass Forage for grazing, silage and hay with high feeding value Renewable energy (biogas, ethanol and combustion) for bioelectricity Fibre production for insulation material in biorefineries

6 Background of plant material Wildtype Lolium perenne is allogamous, highly heterozygous and self-incompatible Parental lines derived from the experimental breeding programme of Dr. Vincent Connolly/Oak Park Inbred lines with 7-12 generations of inbreeding Inbred lines from different genetic backgrounds Festuca pratensis Lolium perenne 1968 Lolium perenne BC Lolium perenne BC S1 S7-S10 Parental inbred line 1982

7 pping population Cross of 2 inbred lines No larger Festuca pratensis blocks in Hybridization probe: parental DNA (green) + 18S-26S rdna genes (red); Chromosomes DAPI (blue) F2 mapping population genotyped with 360 individuals 2008

8 Features of mapping population heterosis for biomass morphological and developmental traits: leaf shape, habit Different levels of crown rust resistance/ susceptibility ternal maternal Paternal paternal metabolites? Nutrient use efficiency Inbreeding depression heterosis

10 Phenotypic experiments Alpha lattice design Incomplete block design (each block consist of eight F2 genotypes plus one check) 360 F2 genotypes and 45 checks (paternal, maternal and plants) Block with eight entries plus one check greenhouse and field experiments traits: (leaf width), (heading date), fresh weight, dry weight and dry matter

11 Phenotypic data - Greenhouse single plants three replications three harvests

18 Metabolites of parental and lines ternal, paternal and lines were grown in 2006 in 18 replicates each, and harvested 3x over the growth period (June, August, October) Total metabolites were extracted Analysed by GC-MS

19 Metabolites - results 253 metabolites were found, of those only 84 were known compounds Among the unknown metabolites the largest x-fold differences among /maternal and /paternal lines were found ximum up- and downregulation of metabolites: genotype maternal/paternal /maternal /paternal up regulation down regulation
