四倍体コムギが保有する新規早生遺伝子の探索およびその効率的遺伝解析法の開発

Wheat (Triticum spp.) is one of the world's three major cereals and a staple food for more than 35% of the world's population, and while nearly doubling crop yields is essential to meet the caloric demands of a growing population by 2050, current rates of wheat yield growth are insufficient to meet this demand. Therefore, it is important to promote the improvement of wheat varieties and to increase yields in a stable manner by utilizing all available genetic resources. Here I would like to introduce some research that has been conducted in this regard, using tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) as a genetic resource in the search for genes related to flowering time and the research related to the streamlined genetic analysis technique.
