ALELNA VARIJABILNOST HRVATSKIH KULTIVARA PŠENICE NA MIKROSATELITNOM LOKUSU XGWM261

The plant height of wheat is an important quantitative trait, controlled by several genes with strong effect. However, in worldwide wheat breeding, only several of those genes have been used. Rht8 (Reduced Height Gene) is especially important in agro-climatic conditions of South-East Europe. Because of its close linkage with dwarfing gene Rht8, microsatellite marker gwm261 has been accepted as the diagnostic molecular marker for gene Rht8. In this study, allelic variability at the locus Xgwm261 for 122 Croatian and foreign wheat cultivars by means of microsatellite marker gwm261 was determined. A 192 base pairs allele at the locus Xgwm261 was found for 84 Croatian cultivars. The genetic heritage of Croatian cultivars at the locus Xgwm261 is the consequence of new parental components usage, carriers of short plant and early maturity attributes and the consequent selection of progeny with these traits during breeding process. The results of this research will be helpful in characterization of domestic wheat cultivars, as well as in more accurate selection of parents for hybridization purposes.Visina biljke pšenice važno je kvantitativno svojstvo kontrolirano s više gena jakog učinka. Međutim, u oplemenjivanju pšenice u svijetu, najčešće se koristi samo nekoliko takvih gena. U agroklimatskim uvjetima jugoistoka Europe posebno je važan gen Rht8 (Reduced Height Gene). Mikrosatelit gwm261 je, zbog svoje bliske vezanosti s lokusom za gen Rht8, prihvaćen kao dijagnostički molekularni biljeg gena Rht8. U ovome istraživanju je pomoću mikrosatelita gwm261 utvrđena alelna varijabilnost na lokusu Xgwm261 za 122 hrvatska i strana kultivara pšenice. Alel sa 192 para baza na lokusu Xgwm261 utvrđen je za 84 hrvatska kultivara. Genetsko naslijeđe hrvatskih kultivara na lokusu Xgwm261 posljedica je korištenja novih roditelja, nositelja svojstava niže stabljike i ranozrelosti te odabira potomstva s tim svojstvima tijekom oplemenjivačkoga procesa. Rezultati istraživanja pomoći će u karakterizaciji domaćih kultivara pšenice, kao i u preciznijem odabiru roditelja u svrhu križanja

Water for all : Proceedings of the 7th international scientific and professional conference Water for all

The 7th International Scientific and Professional Conference Water for all is organized to honour the World Water Day by the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG), Danube Parks, Croatian Food Agency, Croatian Water, Faculty of Food Technology Osijek, Faculty of Agriculture in Osijek, Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek Department of Biology, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek Department of Chemistry, Nature Park “Kopački rit”, Osijek- Baranja County, Public Health Institute of the Osijek- Baranja County and „Vodovod-Osijek“ -water supply company in Osijek. The topic of World Water Day 2017 was "Wastewater" emphasizing the importance and influence of wastewater treatments on global environment. The international scientific and professional conference Water for all is a gathering of scientists and experts in the field of water management, including chemists, biologists, civil and agriculture engineers, with a goal to remind people about the significance of fresh water and to promote an interdisciplinary approach and sustainability for fresh water resource management. The Conference has been held since 2011. About 300 scientists and engineers submitted 95 abstracts to the 7th International Scientific and Professional Conference Water for all, out of which 33 was presented orally and 62 as posters. 47 full papers were accepted by the Scientific Committee. 38 full papers became the part of the this Proceedings while 9 papers were accepted for publication in Croatian Journal of Food Science and Technology and Electronic Journal of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek - e-GFOS
