To accelerate genetic gains in breeding, physiological trait (PT) characterization of candidate parents can help make more strategic crosses, increasing the probability of accumulating favorable alleles compared to crossing relatively uncharacterized lines. In this study, crosses were designed to complement “source” with “sink” traits, where at least one parent was selected for favorable expression of biomass and/or radiation use efficiency—source—and the other for sink-related traits like harvest-index, kernel weight and grains per spike. Female parents were selected from among genetic resources—including landraces and products of wide-crossing (i.e. synthetic wheat)—that had been evaluated in Mexico at high yield potential or under heat stress, while elite lines were used as males. Progeny of crosses were advanced to the F 4 generation within Mexico, and F 4 -derived F 5 and F 6 generations were yield tested to populate four international nurseries, targeted to high yield environments (2nd and 3rd WYCYT) for yield potential, and heat stressed environments (2nd and 4th SATYN) for climate resilience, respectively. Each nursery was grown as multi-location yield trials. Genetic gains were achieved in both temperate and hot environments, with most new PT-derived lines expressing superior yield and biomass compared to local checks at almost all international sites. Furthermore, the tendency across all four nurseries indicated either the superiority of the best new PT lines compared with the CIMMYT elite checks, or the superiority of all new PT lines as a group compared with all checks, and in some cases, both. Results support—in a realistic breeding context—the hypothesis that yield and radiation use efficiency can be increased by improving source:sink balance, and validate the feasibility of incorporating exotic germplasm into mainstream breeding efforts to accelerate genetic gains for yield potential and climate resilience.

LONG‐TERM GROUNDWATER QUALITY AND SALINE INTRUSION ASSESSMENT IN AN IRRIGATED ENVIRONMENT: A CASE STUDY OF THE AQUIFER UNDER THE LBDC IRRIGATION SYSTEM - Muhammad Basharat; Ata‐Ur‐Rehman Tariq (Irrigation and Drainage, 2013)
Pakistan's irrigation system is more than a century old. Due to the increasing population and consequent intensifying agriculture, dependence on groundwater is successively increasing. The underground reservoir that was recharged during the first half of the twentieth century by the newly built irrigation system with low cropping intensities is now being overexploited. Groundwater quality is variable, both vertically and horizontally, with the exception of areas adjacent to rivers, where it is fresh. This paper describes groundwater quality in the Lower Bari Doab Canal (LBDC) irrigation system based on 47 years of historic water quality data (TDS, SAR and RSC). Areas are delineated in the form of zones and depths. The tail end of the command is facing severe groundwater depletion, whereas in certain parts, groundwater quality deterioration with the passage of time has also been detected. Possible reasons and mechanisms of saline intrusion within the aquifer are described. Lateral saline intrusion is not a major issue due to very slow groundwater movement. But in areas with saline groundwater lying below the upper layer of irrigation leaked fresh water, mobilization of deeper saline water is taking place as a result of pumping by farmers. In addition, results of the solute transport model and MODPATH runs were evaluated in support of water quality analysis and groundwater flow rates. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
