- Mapping population LA95135 x SS-MPV57 (UX1443; 358 lines) was deposited in the USDA- NSGC. This population was evaluated for spike and seed morphology traits, heading date and plant height at multiple environments, contributing to characterization of genes underlying the B1 awn suppressor, Rht25, WAPO-A1 and FT-A2 loci.
- Mapping population AGS2000 x LA95135 (UX1444; 291 lines) was deposited in the USDA- NSGC. This population was evaluated for heading date, plant height, glaucousness and disease resistance at multiple field environments and contributed to identification of candidate genes underlying Pm54 and Sr2Ak conferring resistance to powdery mildew and to stem rust race TTKSK, respectively.
