2018/19 ASc -INSANASI Summer Research Fellowship to Miss. Vidhya Vardhini, T. Y. B. Sc. Agri. Biotech

Miss. Vidhya Vardhini, a third-year student of college has selected for IASc -INSANASI Summer Research Fellowship – 2018 at National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute, Mohali. She was offered a fellowship of Rs.10,000/- per month to work for two months and travelling allowance as well. 

Her guide during summer internship would be Dr. Tilak Raj Sharma, Executive Director, National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute, Mohali. 

During her internship, she worked on "CONSTRUCTION OF LINKAGE MAP USING MICROSATELLITES IN A F2 MAPPING POPULATION OF BREAD WHEAT (Triticum aestivum) "

Abstract: Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is among the most important crop of the world, yet it has one of the most challenging genomes. Bread wheat is an allohexaploid (AABBDD, 2n=6x=42), with three genomes namely, A, B and D. It has an extremely large genome of about 16×109 bp/1C with more than 80% repetitive DNA. Understanding of genetics and genome organization by using molecular markers is of great value for genetic improvement and plant breeding purposes. Microsatellites, also known as Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are short tandem repeats (1 to 6 nucleotides) in DNA sequence at a locus on a chromosome, which vary in number in different varietal types. They are highly informative, locus-specific and co-dominant. These markers appear to be hypervariable, in addition, their random or uniform distribution throughout the genome and reproducibility make them ideal for genome mapping, as well as for population genetic studies in wheat. In the current study, polymorphism survey of SSR markers in two wheat varieties was carried out. The polymorphic markers were used for genotyping a subset of a F2 population. Linkage maps were constructed based on clustering SSRs into linkage groups. 

Keywords: Triticum aestivum - F2 population - SSR markers - polymorphism - genotyping -linkage map
