Characteristics of a population
• Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus
![Page 2: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Genotype Frequencies Define the Population
• For example, consider the A_ locus
• We can define a population in terms of the frequencies of the AA, Aa, and aa genotypes. (We often illustrate these concepts with just one locus, since for 2 alleles per locus, there are 3n possible genotypes--when n=5, there are 243 genotypes).
![Page 3: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Gene Frequencies Also Define the Population
• economy--there are many more genotypes than genes (see previous slide)
• gene is the stable unit of inheritance--genes, rather than genotypes, are transmitted from parents to progeny
![Page 4: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Gene Frequencies
• a change in gene frequency is the goal of selection. This is the goal of the breeder, and one of the ways in which we measure progress from selection.

Estimating Gene Frequencies
Calculate directly from the number of genes:
130 A alleles/200 =0.65
70 a alleles/200 = 0.35
![Page 7: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Estimating Gene Frequencies
2. Estimate from genotype frequencies
p1(A)= .5 + .5(.3)=0.65
p2(a)= .2 + .5(.3)=0.35
or p2=1- 0.65 = 0.35, since p1+ p2=1.0

Factors affecting gene frequency
1. Population size
2. Migration
3. Mutation
4. Selection
5. Mating system--progeny genotypes constituted by union of gametes in parental generation
![Page 9: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg
• In 1908 British mathematician Hardy and German physician Weinberg showed independently that:
• For any gene frequency, the following holds true in a large random mating population in the absence of factors which affect gene frequency:
![Page 10: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg
• Given locus A_ in which the frequency of A is p1 and the frequency of a is p2, after 1 cycle of random mating, the genotype frequencies of the progeny will be:
• P12 AA : 2p1p2 Aa : p2
2 aa

Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
1. Large RM population will reach an equilibrium with respect to gene and genotypic frequencies after only one cycle of RM, regardless of gene freq. in parents.
2. Genotype frequencies of progeny determined solely by gene frequencies of parents.
![Page 14: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
3. In the absence of mutation, migration, selection, and drift, this equilibrium will persist.

HW: Does it Matter to the Plant Breeder?
• All selection theory that is the underpinning of plant breeding based on HW populations
• One classic example of an HW population is the Aztec farmer’s field of maize
• The other classic example of an HW pop is the F2 generation of a self pollinated crop like wheat or soybean
![Page 16: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
HW- The OP Maize Field
• Each plant has the opportunity to mate with any other plant
• OP varieties were commonly grown before hybrids took hold
• OP landraces are still common in developing countries
![Page 17: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The F2 Generation has Hardy-Weinberg
Frequencies• This is harder to grasp,
but look at the genotypes and their frequencies in the F2
AA Aa aa
0.25 0.50 0.25
The frequency of the A and the a alleles is 0.5
The genotype frequencies in the F2 are exactly HW
![Page 18: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Departure from HW
• Once we begin to inbreed (non random mating) or select (change gene frequency) we disrupt HW equilibrium
• But it is useful to know that each breeding population starts off in HW equilibrium
![Page 19: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Designation of Inbred Lines
The commonly used systems for describing the generations that follow the mating of two parents are the “F” and “S” systems. F refers to Filial, and is most commonly used with self pollinated species and S refers to generations of selfing and is used with cross pollinated species.
We will use the F system almost exclusively in this course, but you should be aware of the equivalence of the two systems:
F system S system
F2 S0
F3 S1
F4 S2
F5 S3
![Page 20: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Designation of Inbred Lines
One of the conventions we will use in this course is the 2 tier system described by Fehr (p. 31-32) in which a line is designated as follows: Fx:y in which x is the generation of derivation and y is the current generation.
Why is this important?
Because there is considerable difference between an F2-derived
line in the F6 and an F4-derived line in the F6, yet both could be
classified as ‘an F6 line’.
So if we write F2:4, we are referring to a line that is now in the F4 generation, which came about (was derived) when we harvested a head in the F2 generation.
![Page 21: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

The frequency of heterozygotes is estimated by (1/2)G, where G is the number of generations of selfing, i.e., F2 = (1/2)1 = 1/2; F3 = (1/2)2 = 1/4; F4 = (1/2)3 = 1/8.

F2 – F8 Generations are Critical
• If you understand the next two slides, you will have mastered a critical component of plant breeding
• So Pay Attention!

Development of F4 Derived Lines Without Selection

F2:6 vs F4:6 : What are the practical consequences?
• Note that in the F4:6 lines 876 of 1000 lines are descendents of homozygous F2 plants
• Contrast that with F2:6 lines, where only 500 of 1000 lines are descendents of homozygous F2 plants
![Page 26: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
F2:6 vs F4:6 : What are the practical consequences?
• When you walk the F2:6 lines, you find much more heterogeneity within a line
• Concern: will performance be repeatable?
![Page 27: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Alleviate this Concern by Delaying Selection
(1) Higher proportion of homozygotes in later generations
(2) if one observes a superior line in later generations, subsequent performance is more predictable.
![Page 28: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Purifying lines for Cultivar Release
• The first generation of yield testing may be F4:6 lines which will be somewhat variable
• If they make the cut for further testing, then purification begins
• The line that is eventually released as a cultivar may be F8 derived
![Page 29: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Segregation at Multiple Loci with Self-Pollination
• All F2 populations will be segregating
at more than one locus.
• This reduces the proportion of completely homozygous individuals compared to the case of single locus segregation.
![Page 30: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Segregation at Multiple Loci with Self-Pollination
• If the probability of homozygosity at the A or B locus is 0.5. The probability of homozygosity at both loci is 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25.
![Page 31: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Potential Number of Genotypes is Huge
• Assume parents in a cross have different alleles at n loci : 2n inbred genotypes can be derived from the cross.
• If parents differ at 20 loci, then 220 or 1,048,576 genotypes are possible
![Page 32: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Number of Genotypes in the F2 is even Bigger
• Consider though, that 320 different genotypes are possible in the F2
generation--i.e., 3,486,784,401
• This fact makes inbreds seem attractive
![Page 33: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Larger Populations or More Populations?
• One of the most vexing plant breeding questions
• Our F2 populations typically contain 1800 -2000 individuals; not 3,486,784,401!
• This year at Lex we have > 500 F2 populations and a subset at Princeton
![Page 34: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Larger Populations or More Populations?
• I don’t believe in growing enormous populations in hopes of finding the perfect plant
• Instead, we try to sample as many populations as possible in hopes of finding a few that meet our many selection criteria
![Page 35: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Larger Populations or More Populations?
• Current issue: are the pop sizes we are using for marker assisted selection big enough??
![Page 36: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What are Transgressive Segregates?
• Progeny that exceed the high parent
• For example, assume a trait is governed by 20 loci
– Inbred Parent 1 contains the superior allele at loci 1 to 11,
– Inbred Parent 2 contains the superior allele at loci 12 to 20
![Page 37: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What are Transgressive Segregates?
• Plant breeding progress to date has been built on incremental gains in recovering progeny with additional superior alleles in the homozygous state
![Page 38: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

How to Predict Success• The Binomial Probability Formula:
• P(x = k) = (nk)p
k(1 - p)n-k
• Where n = number of loci controlling the trait
• k = number of loci homozygous for the superior allele
• p= probability of fixing the superior allele in the homozygous state in the selfing generation Fi
(i.e., 0.25 in F2; 0.375 in F3; 0.438 in F4)

Linkage
• If favorable alleles are linked in coupling (eg AB), it works in the breeder’s favor
• Repulsion linkages of favorable alleles (Ab) require recombination to break up
• Fehr (p 56) gives example of nematode resistance and seed color (r=0.0035)
![Page 43: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Recombination – More is Better, Isn’t It?
• Linkage is a conservative influence which maintains parental arrangements
The Debate:
• Favorable linkage blocks should be maintained vs
• More genetic variation should be unleashed through intermating
![Page 44: Characteristics of a population Genotype frequency--the relative proportion of different genotypes in a population with respect to a given locus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfdf1a28abf838cb2a41/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
