Introduction to Fast Plants Georgia Davis Feb. 2006

Development Dr. Paul H. Williams at the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed fast plants. Originally developed for research in disease resistance. Extended the material for classroom use. Williams PH and C Hill Rapid-cycling populations of Brassicas. Science 232:

More development 6 month life cycle reduced to 5 weeks by 20 years of breeding. More than 30 years of breeding to date. Other improvements:  Uniform flowering time  Uniform size  Optimized growing conditions

From:

More than 150 traits identified in the material. Original population was Brassica rapa. Also developed populations for six related species. Seeds can be stored up to 10 years.

Types of Fast Plants Standard Purple Stem, Hairy Non-Purple Stem Yellow-Green Leaf Non-Purple Stem, Yellow-Green Leaf Rosette dwarf (Gibberellin deficient) Tall Plant (Gibberellin Overexpression) Petite Plant (Gibberellin deficient) Variegated

Fast Plants Rapid-cycling Brassicas Crucifers  Cabbage  Turnips  Broccoli  Cauliflower  Mustards  Canola

Relationship among Brassicas B. nigra (Bbb) b = 8 B. carinata (Bcbbcc) bc = 17 B. juncea (ABaabb) ab = 18 B. rapa (Aaa) a = 10 B. oleracea (Ccc) c = 9 R. sativus (Rrr) r = 9 Raphanobrassica (Rrrcc) rc = 18 B. napus (ACaacc) ac = 19 From: Around the World with Brassicas.

Growth Requirements Continuous fluorescent light Continous Water (Tray with water that each pot sets in) Continous Fertilizer (Pellets) Peat/Vermiculite Potting Mix
