Presenter: Andy (Yi) Chen, John Innes Centre, UKOutline: Grain and spike development are two important developmental processes in wheat that can influence final grain yield. To better understand these two processes, we investigated the genetic basis of wheat subspecie and mutants that have different grain or spike morphology compared to cultivated wheat. The wheat subspecie Triticum ispahanicum (n = 14) have a major QTL, P2, on chromosome 6A. P2 increases the length of glume, maternal floral organs and grain. By using combination of positional-based cloning and gene editing, we discovered that T. ispahanicum has a unique 482-bp promoter deletion on the gene SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE-A1 (SVP-A1) which is sufficient to increase glume and grain length. EMS line ANK-15 and the Japanese landrace Nakate Gumbai have compact spike. To understand the genetic basis of spike development, we performed F2 mapping and identified a QTL on chromosome 5D. We performed RNA-seq using near-isogenic lines and identified a set of candidate genes that can influence spike development.References: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00122-022-04114-y

Spotted lanternfly is a major threat to wine grape production in the United States and has greatly impacted the regions where the invasive species has taken hold. Dr. Michela Centinari, associate professor of viticulture at Pennsylvania State University, will share her firsthand knowledge of spotted lantern fly. Learn why keeping it out of Washington should be a top priority and some practical take-aways from their experience. WAVE is the Washington wine industry's signature research seminar/webinar and stands for Washington Advancements in Viticulture and Enology. WAVEx seminars/webinars feature research in a condensed format.

Research4Life recently integrated AGROVOC as a “reference source” in the AGORA collection. Therefore, this webinar will provide in-depth information about how to access and use AGROVOC through the AGORA collection and the impact it can make on multilingual research for students, researchers, or professionals looking to take advantage of AGORA's extensive resources.
