Switchgrass ESTs and SNPs

    As part of our project, “Developing Association Mapping in Polyploid Perennial Biofuel Grasses” (DOE-USDA Plant Feedstock Genomics for Bioenergy Program grant DE-A102-07ER64454)*, two SNP discovery initiatives were carried out. The earlier one (2009) was an approach based on EST sequences. The latest initiative (2011-12) adopted a more powerful approach, based on GBS (Genotyping by Sequencing). We believe that the SNP markers identified in these studies will greatly enhance breeding efforts that target the improvement of key biofuel traits and the development of new switchgrass cultivars.

    T3 Barley

      [The Triticeae Toolbox Barley](https://barley.triticeaetoolbox.org) (T3 Barley) is an extension of The Hordeum Toolbox (THT), which was created by the preceding Barley CAP. T3 Barley incorporates all of the THT data.

      T3 Oat

        [The Triticeae Toolbox Oat](https://oat.triticeaetoolbox.org) (T3 Oat) is the repository of oat phenotype and genotype data for the Global Oat Genetics Database.

        T3 Wheat

          [The Triticeae Toolbox Wheat](https://wheat.triticeaetoolbox.org) (T3 Wheat) is a repository for public wheat data generated by the Wheat Coordinated Agricultural Project (Wheat CAP).

          Data from: Genomic analyses of dominant US clonal lineages of Phytophthora infestans reveals a shared ancestry for US11 and US18 and a lack of recently shared ancestry for all other US lineages

            The populations of the potato and tomato late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans, in the US are well known for emerging repeatedly as novel clonal lineages. These successions of dominant clones have historically been named US1 through US24, in order of appearance, since their first characterization using molecular markers. Hypothetically, these lineages can emerge by descent from prior lineages or as novel, independent lineages.
