Below are curation updates in GrainGenes for March 2025.  

Summary

  • 8 curated references with the following new data:
  • 74 QTL
  • 31 genes
  • 4 loci
  • 42 molecular probes
  • 1 sequence
  • 2 germplasm

Please contact feedback@graingenes.org for suggestions on future curation projects or questions/comments on the current work. 

  • Meta QTL from Du et al. have been renamed to reflect the two publications in 2024.  Yield MQTL were named ex. MQTL_Du2024.yield-1H.5 from PLO-19:e0303751 Genome-wide screening of meta-QTL and candidate genes controlling yield and yield-related traits in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). PLoS ONE (2024) and ex. MQTL_Du2024.Breed-quality-1H.2 from FPS-14:1319889  Detection of consensus genomic regions and candidate genes for quality traits in barley using QTL meta-analysis. Front. Plant Sci. (2024).  In the quality MQTL paper breeders QTL were distinguished in the name.  Given the wealth of barley yield QTL data in GrainGenes, only the breeder's MQTL were curated. 
  • FT-D1 (Triticum) gene, germplasm and QTL from PLN-14:512 Oistad et al. (2025) Plant Productivity and Leaf Starch During Grain Fill Is Linked to QTL Containing Flowering Locus T1 (FT1) in Wheat (Triticum adestivum L.). Plants 14:512
  • QTL and KASP probes from TAG-138:46 He et al. (2025) Mapping and validation of QTkw.cau-3DL, a major QTL controlling thousand-kernel weight in wheat. Theor Appl Genet  138:46
  • Genes from PLA-261:68 Stuart et al. (2025) Yellow barley xan-m mutants are deficient in the motor unit SECA1 of the SEC1 translocase system. Planta 261:68
  • Lr52 allele, 18 probes, loci, germplasm from PGM-9:e700003 Xu et al. (2025) Characterization of a new Lr52 allele for leaf rust resistance in the Iranian wheat landrace PI 622111.  Plant Genome 9:e700003
