    Summary of project outputs (some items are work in progress)

    Vegetable Brassicas:

    •Genetically fixed diversity sets of domesticated Brassica oleracea and wild C genome Brassica species

    •Whole genome re-sequence data of 3 mapping population parents with 40-fold genome coverage

    •Transcriptome sequence of hydroponically-grown true leaf 7 from 48 B. oleracea and >70 wild C genome Brassica species diversity set founder accessions

    •Publicly available mapped C genome Brassica single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

    •Genetic analysis of nitrogen content variation in B. oleracea

    •Sources of resistance to Turnip Mosaic and Turnip Yellows Viruses

    •Sources of resistance to Diamond Back Moth


    Lettuce:

    •Publicly available F8 RIL mapping population (Saladin x Iceberg) and associated linkage map

    •A lettuce (cv Saladin) TILLING population of 3260 M3 lines

    •A 96 accession lettuce diversity set

    •Whole genome re-sequence data for Saladin and Iceberg for SNP discovery

    •Putative sources of resistance to the aphid Nasonovia ribis-nigri

    •Genetic analysis of nitrate accumulation in lettuce

    •Genetic analysis of post harvest discolouration

    •Mapped candidate genes for nitrate accumulation and post-harvest discolouration


    Carrot and Onion:

    •Carrot diversity set of half sib families and an S1 derived from 96 carrot plant genetic resources (PGR) accessions

    •Sources of beneficial alleles for improved seed/seedling vigour

    •A defined onion diversity set of half sib families from 96 PGR accessions

    •Sources of resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae

    •Sources of alleles for improved compatibility with mycorrhizal fungi


    Seed and DNA availability:

    Brassica and Lettuce - Dr Graham Teakle (graham dot teakle at warwick dot ac dot uk)

    Onion - Dr Andrew Taylor (andrew dot taylor at warwick dot ac dot uk)

    Carrot - Dr Charlotte Allender (charlotte dot allender at warwick dot ac dot uk)


    Seed availability is dependent on stock levels and will incur a charge to cover handling and distribution costs and cost of replacement.

    It should be noted that for larger requests, the requester may wish to include these costs in grant applications.

    A materials transfer agreement may also be required depending on the resource.
