1 Landraces: Genetic Diversity and Evaluation Jihad Orabi Department of Agriculture and Ecology Plant and Soil Science Laboratory

2 Landraces Stone Age varieties, primitive varieties, heirloom varieties. traditional cultivars, farmer varieties and garden-races. Landraces have evolved directly from their wild progenitor, that lead to have and maintain high level of genetic diversity. Were developed under natural and human selection. Landrace is a variety with a high capacity to tolerate biotic and abiotic stress, resulting in a high yield stability and an intermediate yield level under a low input agricultural system. (Zeven, 2000).

3 Landraces as Breeding Material Pure line selection: the short-term approach Extracting the highest yielding pure line from a landrace. Crosses: building on adaptation Extracted superior lines form a landrace and utilizing them as parents in the crossing program Mixtures: the long-term approach Pure lines properly characterized for a set of agronomic characters Understanding adaptation to stress Evaluate lines with specific characters to identify, localize, and tag genes or QTLs (Ceccarelli and Grando, 2000)

4 Genetic Diversity Assessment of genetic diversity is an essential step helping to: Understand the relationship among and within the landraces populations. Understand the genetic structure of the landraces. Parental selection. Setting priorities for genetic conservation. Building conservation strategies.

5 Two Examples of Landrace Studies Genetic diversity of the landraces vs the wild barley in West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region Genetic diversity of Eritrean barley landraces

6 Barley in West Asia and North Africa (WANA) The presence of the wild relatives of barley. High genetic diversity in the cultivated barely. Genetic resources for biotic stresses such as diseases. Genetic resources for abiotic stresses such as drought.

9 Take-Home Message from WANA Study: Both Wild and cultivated barley from WANA possess high level of genetic diversity Wild and cultivated barley from WANA are a very useful source for barley improvement. Since both, landraces and wild barley posses a high level of genetic diversity, utilizing the landraces is better due to the undesirable traits that can be carried from the wild barley.

10 Barley in Eritrea Barley is the second crop in production and harvested area. Barley is growing as primitive landraces. Barley yield is 352 kg\ha (FAO, 2008).. Barley from Horn of Africa is a valuable resource for diseases resistance

23 Take-Home message from Eritrea study A huge genetic diversity also at chloroplast level was found within the Eritrean barley fields. H. v. subsp. spontaneum is the progenitor of the WANA and the European barley. H. v. subsp. spontaneum is NOT the progenitor of the Eritrean-Ethiopian barley. An independent domestication event of barley could have happened in East Africa. The Eritrean-Ethiopian barley is a new gene-pool that can deliver new source for breeding.

24 A landrace story In 1948, Jack Haralan and Osman Tosun collected a wheat landrace from Turkey PI It lodged, had no winter hardiness and susceptible to leaf rust. it was hopelessly useless but dutifully conserved 15 years later a stripe rust outbreak happend in USA PI was found to have resistance to 4 races strip rust. 35 races of common bunt. 10 races of dwarf bunt. A tolerance to flag smut and snow mold. PI is in the pedigree of all wheat in the Pacific Northwest. (Kaplan 1998)
