Milestone 5A.4.1.1: QTL mapp<strong>in</strong>g based on F 6 RILs and F 2:4 progenies from two crosses completed and results<br />

compared (CTH/SS/RPT/RS, 2008)<br />

To be reported <strong>in</strong> 2008<br />

Milestone 5A.4.1.2: Genetically diverse parents <strong>of</strong> mapp<strong>in</strong>g populations identified and crossed to generate F 6 RILs<br />

(CTH/KNR/RPT/RS, 2007)<br />

To be reported <strong>in</strong> 2007<br />

Activity 5A.4.2: Map-directed conventional backcross<strong>in</strong>g and marker-assisted backcross<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> DM resistance<br />

QTLs <strong>in</strong>to parental l<strong>in</strong>es <strong>of</strong> hybrids<br />

Milestone 5A.4.2.1: Ten major QTL impart<strong>in</strong>g resistance aga<strong>in</strong>st specific DM pathtypes identified (CTH/RPT/RS,<br />

2007)<br />

To be reported <strong>in</strong> 2007<br />

Milestone 5A.4.2.2: Near-isogenic l<strong>in</strong>es conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g different DM resistance genes (QTL) developed (RPT/RS/CTH,<br />

2010)<br />

Near-isogenic l<strong>in</strong>es <strong>of</strong> pearl millet possess<strong>in</strong>g resistance genes effective aga<strong>in</strong>st different pathotypes <strong>of</strong> DM can be<br />

used as a set <strong>of</strong> host differentials for monitor<strong>in</strong>g virulence shift <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> pathogen isolates. A number <strong>of</strong> DM resistance<br />

QTLs effective aga<strong>in</strong>st different pathotypes have been mapped from different resistance sources and <strong>in</strong>trogression <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>se QTLs <strong>in</strong>to elite B-l<strong>in</strong>es is <strong>in</strong> progress. Dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>2006</strong>, we evaluated <strong>in</strong> greenhouse about 560 backcross<br />

progenies <strong>in</strong> different generations (BC 3F1.F2 to BC 6F1 ) aga<strong>in</strong>st two pathotypes Sg 298 (New Delhi) and Sg 409<br />

(Patancheru). <strong>The</strong>se progenies carried <strong>the</strong> DM resistance QTLs from IP 18293, P 1449-2 and 863B-P 2 that were<br />

<strong>in</strong>trogressed <strong>in</strong>to three elite hybrid parents 843B, 81B and 841B. About 15 to 30% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> progenies <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

phenotypic background <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> above three B-l<strong>in</strong>es were found resistant (≤10% <strong>in</strong>cidence) compared to 84−99%<br />

<strong>in</strong>cidence on <strong>the</strong> susceptible checks. Several o<strong>the</strong>r DM resistance QTLs have been <strong>in</strong>trogressed <strong>in</strong>to 843B and <strong>the</strong>se<br />

are at different stages <strong>of</strong> development. Detailed data analysis is <strong>in</strong> progress.<br />

Milestone 5A.4.2.3: QTL with known effects aga<strong>in</strong>st diverse pathotypes pyramided <strong>in</strong> 843B and o<strong>the</strong>r parental l<strong>in</strong>es<br />

and <strong>the</strong>ir resistance levels determ<strong>in</strong>ed (CTH/RPT/RS, 2010)<br />

QTL with known effects aga<strong>in</strong>st diverse pathotypes pyramided <strong>in</strong> 843B and o<strong>the</strong>r parental l<strong>in</strong>es and <strong>the</strong>ir resistance<br />

levels determ<strong>in</strong>ed (CTH/RPT/RS, 2010) S<strong>in</strong>gle QTL <strong>in</strong>trogression cont<strong>in</strong>ued (see Milestone 5A.4.2.4 below) to<br />

maximize recovery <strong>of</strong> hybrid parental l<strong>in</strong>e recurrent parent genetic backgrounds, which must be completed before<br />

<strong>in</strong>itiation <strong>of</strong> a cross<strong>in</strong>g and marker-assisted selection program to pyramid QTLs from different sources <strong>in</strong> common<br />

recurrent parental l<strong>in</strong>e backgrounds <strong>in</strong> a species such as pearl millet where marker distribution and density is less<br />

than optimal.<br />

Milestone 5A.4.2.4: Several different s<strong>in</strong>gle-QTL <strong>in</strong>trogression homozygotes available <strong>in</strong> genetic backgrounds <strong>of</strong><br />

two elite seed parents (CTH/RPT/RS, 2007)<br />

A major QTL for downy mildew resistance, from l<strong>in</strong>kage group 4 <strong>of</strong> 863B-P2, was advanced from BC6F1 to<br />

BC6F2/BC7F1 pairs and from BC5F2 to BC5F3 progenies <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> genetic background <strong>of</strong> ICMB 841. Backcross<strong>in</strong>g<br />

advanced by two generations to BC4F2/BC5F1 pairs for several downy mildew resistance QTLs from donor P1449-<br />

2-P1 <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> genetic background <strong>of</strong> 843B. <strong>The</strong> resistant allele for one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se QTLs is l<strong>in</strong>ked to <strong>the</strong> tall height allele<br />

at <strong>the</strong> d2 dwarf<strong>in</strong>g gene locus on pearl millet l<strong>in</strong>kage group 4. Similarly, backcross<strong>in</strong>g advanced by one generation<br />

to BC3F2/BC4F1 pairs for several downy mildew resistance QTLs from donor IP 18293 <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> genetic background<br />

<strong>of</strong> elite seed parent ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>er l<strong>in</strong>es 81B and 843B.<br />

Milestone 5A.4.2.5: Several different multiple-QTL <strong>in</strong>trogression homozygotes available <strong>in</strong> genetic backgrounds <strong>of</strong><br />

an elite restorer l<strong>in</strong>e and three diverse elite seed parents (CTH/TN/SS/RPT/RS, 2009)<br />
