4. What is stay-green ?
The extended foliar greenness
during grain filling under post
anthesis drought.
Stay green is one such trait, and
genotypes possessing this trait
maintain more photosynthetically active leaves
than genotypes not possessing this trait .
Genotype with stay green traits is called stay green
genotype.
5. Where, When and Why stay green traits
is required?
It’s required specially in a drought
environmental condition.
To keep greenness of leaves alive for
longer period of time, specially during
the grain filling stage.
To maintain or increase higher grain
yield.
Stay-green results when the plant’s
normal process of senescence is
disrupted.
6. Strategy for development of genotype
with stay green traits.
Keeping alive for longer is the fundamental
strategy for increase
Crop yield

8. Components of stay green traits.
Key components determining stay green:
Total plant leaf area (TPLA): (+ve) correlated
with green leaf area at maturity (GLAM) .
Duration of leaf senescence: (+ve) correlated
with GLAM.
Rate of leaf senescence (LS): (-ve) correlated with
GLAM
NB: GLAM is an indicator of stay-green.
9. Classes of stay green
There is a five way of stay green on the basis of time and
duration of occurrence of senescence.
Type A stay greens (delayed initiation of yellowing)
Type B stay greens (initiate senescence on schedule, but
comparatively slow)
Type C stay greens (arise due to specific defects in
chlorophyll
degradation pathway.)
Type D stay greens (cell are dead)
Type E stay greens ( chlorophyll content is remain same but
enzyme activity is reduce)
11. Importance of chlorophyll in
stay green traits.
Chlorophyll pigment is responsible for greenness of the leaves.
Chlorophyll pigment involved in photosynthesis.
The result of photosynthesis is biomass production.
When there wii be degradation, during the reproductive stage ,
ultimate biomass production will be less.
Chlorophyllase (CLH) is responsible for degradation of
chlorophyll a to chlorophyllide a (Chlide a)
When a mutants disrupt the activity of chlorophyllase (CLH), it
leading to stay-green phenotypes.
13. Relation of N2 with stay green traits
Chemical structure of chlorophyll
Chlorophyll pigment is consist of
N2, Mg+2 and others constituent.
Stay-green can be viewed as a
consequence of the balance between
N demand by the grain and N supply
during grain filling stage.
While N2 is the constituent of most of the
proteins (Rubisco involved in photosynthesis).)

15. 1. Importance of stay green traits in
agronomical crops.
Delayed senescence is useful only when it contributes to
increase yield.
N uptake during grain filling is higher in stay-green
genotype than senescent hybrids. (Borrell and Hammer,
2000).
In some crop it leads to drought resistance.
It leads to lodging resistance.
16. 2. Importance of stay green traits in
horticultural crops.
In horticultural crop it increases market
value.
Several approaches have been utilized to
manipulate hormone level or responses in
transgenic plants to reduce the incidence of
postharvest yellowing.
It extends shelf-life and helps in long term
transportation.
18. A. Identification of QTL for stay green.
Requirement for QTL mapping:
1. A suitable mapping population generated from
phenotypically contrasting parents.
2. Reliable Phenotypic screening of mapping population.
3. A saturated linkage map based on molecular markers.
4.Appropriate statistical packages to analyze the
genotypic information in combination with phenotypic
information for QTL detection.

28. CASE STUDY
INTROGRESSION OF STAY-GREEN
TRAITS INTO A KENYAN FARMER
PREFERED SORGHUM VARIETY
K. NGUGI, W. KIMANI1 and D. KIAMBI1
29. A MAB breeding programme was conducted to
introgress stay green QTL from ICRISAT sorghum line
E36-1 well-characterised for stay-green QTL, into the
background of the Kenyan farmers’ preferred
sorghum variety, Ochuti.
E36-1 donor parental line
Ochuti recurrent parental line
The parental lines E36-1 has 3 stay green
QTLs, SBI-01, SBI-07 and SBI-10 located at
various chromosomes.

31. Contd.
Seven forground marker were used to identify individuals
of F1 generation that had stay green QTLs transferred
into Ochuti.
Out of 96 F1 genotype only five genotypes that had at
least one stay green QTL introgressed, 3 with two QTL
( SBI-07 and SBI-10) and 2 other F1 genotypes had only
one QTL (SBI-10) transferred into Ochuti.
A total of 128 BC1F1 DNA samples together with the two
positive controls (the two parents) were genotyped with
the five foreground SSR markers.
32. Ideotype of genotype with stay green traits
Plant should have spread and deep
root system.
Genotype with stay green traits
should show slow rate of leaf
senescence(LS).
Delay onset of leaf senescence(LS).
Genotype should have more total plant leaf area
(TPLA).
33. The relation between
the stay green traits and
grain yield
Grain yield was correlated positively with green leaf
area at maturity and negatively with rate of leaf
senescence (from the study of nine genotypes varying
in stay-green, Borrell et al.,1999).

34. CONCLUSION
Several stay-green QTL have been identify in Several crops
like sorghum, wheat, rice etc.
By hybridization programme, its is enable to transfer
identified stay-green QTL to the genotype having good
agronomic background.
Incorporation of stay-green trait in a genotype will increase
the ultimate grain yield and market value which
will contribute to our national economy.
