Seed quality and disease resistance trait mapping in lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris).

为了保护和增加我们的世界小扁豆市场份额，澳大利亚小扁豆育种者的使命是开发出具有优良种子质量的小扁豆品种。种子品质的三个重要性状是：较胖较大的形状、较好的劈裂效率和对子囊病侵染的抗性。为了加快具有这些性状的品种的开发，将对控制它们的遗传位点进行表征，并确定密切相关的分子标记。将通过回交、田间和玻璃室内测试来验证标记在标记辅助育种计划中的使用。

To protect and increase our world lentil market share, the mission of the Australian lentil breeders is to develop lentil varieties with superior seed qualities. Three highly desirable seed quality traits are; fatter and larger shape, better splitting efficiency and resistance to blemishing by ascochyta blight infection. To speed up the development of varieties with these traits, the genetic loci governing them will be characterised and closely associated molecular markers identified. Markers will be validated for their use in marker-assisted breeding programs via back-crossing and field and glass house testing.
