Description

McKay RI lines

Collection of 341 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) generated from the reciprocal cross between the accessions Kashmir (Kas-1 = N903) and Tsushima (Tsu-1= N1640) which are opposite extremes for water use efficiency and climate at collection sites for these accessions differs greatly. RILs were advanced to the F9 generation via single seed descent without any intentional selection and genotyped using 48 microsatellites and 55 SNPs for a total of 103 markers. Leaf water content, d13C, and transpiration rate were analyzed in this mapping population, showing large variation in whole-plant physiology and water use efficiency. RIL mapping data is available.
