Abstract/Contents: | "Tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh.] is an important cool season perennial hay and pasture grass grown in over 14 million ha in the USA. Frequent and more severe droughts that recently prevailed in the Southern Great Plains are the major constraints for the production of tall fescue in the region. Developing drought-tolerant cultivar is the key strategy for improving productivity and persistence of the Continental tall fescue in the region. Initially, 1000 genotypes of a tall fescue population were screened and most contrasting genotypes for relative water content (RWC) , osmotic potential (OP) and chlorophyll content were identified. A negative correlation was found between RWC and OP in both greenhouse and field experiments. A drought tolerant (B400) and a susceptible (W279) genotype were crossed to create a mapping population. Transgressive segregation for different drought-related traits was observed in the mapping population. A total of 252 genotypes of the population have been genotyped following the genotyping-by-sequencing protocol. Identification of genetic loci associated with important traits are in progress. RNA samples from leaf, shoot, root, and inflorescence tissues of the tolerant and susceptible parents were used for transcriptome profiling under drought stress condition. Assembly of the sequences resulted 199,399 contigs with an average read length of 585 bp. A total of 2986 differentially expressed transcripts were identified between the two genotypes, of which 1048 were recognized with various annotated proteins. Kinase type protein and transposons were most frequently appeared to be differentially expressed. Thirty unique proteins were significantly up-regulated in the drought-tolerant genotype under stress condition. We are in the process of identifying overexpressed genes in B400 responsible for drought tolerance and developing a comprehensive molecular marker system in tall fescue." |
