Assistant Scientist Irrigated Breeding Team for South East Asia Plant Breeding Division What is FRGA?
• Breeding procedure where segregating
populations are raised in an environment using close spacing, low N, high temperature, and short days to minimize growth duration and make several generations per year. (Vergara et al., 1982) DONE IN THE FIELD! Advantages of FRGA
• It speeds up the breeding cycle (F2 - F5 or F6 in
one year) • Increases number of favorable genotypes (maximum chance for recombination) • Very High throughput (250,000+ lines in an area of 800 m2 ; 3120 lines per population) • Natural selection has a role • Natural field conditions could further increase performance of lines in advanced generations Disadvantages of FRGA
• Lack of information on potential of individual or population
during RGA processing • Possible genetic drifts are expected • Decreased population size per generation – needs seed multiplication at end of target gen! • Populations are exposed to abiotic, biotic stresses and natural phenomenon such as typhoons results to 50% loss of lines, even more! • Labor intensive and expensive (in case of IRRI) Preparation
• Minuro tray preparation
• Soil sterilization is optional to reduce growth of weeds • Mixing of basal fertilizer to soil • Soil to minuro trays • Breaking of seed dormancy Seeding • Strictly ONE seed is placed on each cell following SSD • Seeded minuro trays were logistically brought to the field for tray placement • NO thinning and pruning were done (why?) • Biodegradable wrapping paper were placed to cover each minuro tray (why?) • Overnight submergence of the minuro trays for uniform germination (done only after completion of tray placement for all popns) Maintenance • Fertilizer application (just multiply the current rate with the number of minuro trays that you have per population) • But we did observe that 0% N application induces earlier flowering (10 days earlier than with N application) • Integrated pest management • Recording of days to flowering (FLW) and days to maturity (MAT) • Rodent fence is required Harvest • RGA plants were pulled from the minuro trays • Only ONE panicle (best looking and most number of filled spikelets) is taken from each plant • Panicles are carefully stored in a plastic box or paper bag • Each panicle container is carefully labelled Seed Processing • Sorting of panicles/seeds per population • Breaking of dormancy • Preparation of seeds for next FRGA cycle Succeeding generations in FRGA Why did we stop FRGA?
• After 2 cycles of FRGA (2014 EWS
and 2014 LWS), we realized that: • Massive logistics are needed • Requires excessive resources (land rental and others) • Very labor intensive and expensive (minimum of 20-25 CWs to finish harvest of 250,000+ lines in less than 3 weeks; 1 CW = 9.45 USD / day do the math!) On the bright side…
• FRGA is very promising as an
extension or alternative of the original RGA (glasshouse/screenhouse) if you have unlimited resources • Was it effective in advancing breeding lines? YES!
