Book Molecular Mapping and Characterization of Stripe Rust Resistance Genes in Important Winter Wheat Cultivars in the U S  Pacific Northwest

Download or read book Molecular Mapping and Characterization of Stripe Rust Resistance Genes in Important Winter Wheat Cultivars in the U S Pacific Northwest written by Lu Liu and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici Erikss. (Pst), is one of the most devastating and economically important diseases across major wheat growing regions in the world. Growing resistant cultivars is the most effective and environmentally sound method for controlling the disease. This study was conducted to identify resistance genes/QTL in three winter wheat cultivars Madsen, Skiles and Eltan and develop molecular markers for marker-assisted selection. Madsen has shown high-level and durable resistance since its release in 1988 and was identified to have both all-stage resistance (ASR) and high-temperature adult-plant (HTAP) resistance. Two major effect ASR QTL on chromosome arms 1AS and 2AS, one minor ASR QTL on 1BS and two HTAP resistance QTL on 3BS and 6BS were identified in Madsen. Skiles is susceptible to all tested Pst races at seedling stage but shows strong resistance at adult-plant stage with higher resistance level expressed at high temperature, indicating that Skiles has only HTAP resistance against the tested Pst races. Six HTAP resistance QTL were mapped in Skiles, with two major QTL mapped on 3BS and 4BL and four minor QTL on 1BL, 5AL, 6B and 7DL. Markers linked to the QTL were used to select highly resistant breeding lines derived from crosses with Skiles. Eltan has shown variable reactions from moderate susceptibility to resistance in different years since its release in 1990. Five QTL were detected in Eltan, with two major ASR QTL on 2BS and 4BL, one minor ASR on 5BS and two minor HTAP resistance QTL on 6AS and 7BL. The two major ASR QTL became less effective due to the fact that the Pst population has changed to virulent, leading to the resistance reduction in Eltan. By studying these three wheat cultivars with different genes for different types of resistance, it is concluded that the best strategy to achieve high-level and durable resistance is to combine several genes for effective ASR and adequate HTAP resistance. These studies provide the information of useful genes and molecular markers for improving resistance to stripe rust in wheat cultivars.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here we report the discovery of precise molecular marker for HTAP resistance locus in wheat cultivar Louise. Using Louise x Penawawa mapping population, coupled with data from survey sequences of wheat genome, linkage mapping and synteny analysis, we developed expressed, cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker LPHTAP2B on the short arm of wheat chromosome 2B. It perfectly segregates with the resistant phenotype and explains 62% of phenotypic variance based on disease severity, and 58% based on infection type.

Book The Wheat Rusts     Breeding for Resistance

Download or read book The Wheat Rusts Breeding for Resistance written by Douglas R. Knott and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for this book was conceived by the late Dr. Irvine A. Watson of the University of Sydney, and he developed the first outline. I was then invited by Dr. Watson to share in its writing. Unfortunately, shortly there after, recurring heart problems forced him to curtail his activities and with draw from the project. He died before the book could be completed. Dr. Watson's intention was to produce a very practical book that would provide wheat breeders with all of the information necessary to breed success fully for resistance to the three wheat rusts: leaf rust, stem rust, and yellow rust. It was intended to be very specific in describing procedures to be used and at the same time provide all of the necessary theoretical background. I hope that I have been successful in meeting these objectives. The book assumes that the reader has some knowledge of plant pathology, genetics, and plant breeding. Extensive use has been made of the literature, but it was not possible to cite all of the papers on a given topic. In making a choice, an attempt was made to choose key papers or more recent papers that provided references to the earlier literature. Acknowledgements This book was written partly at the University of Saskatchewan and partly at the University of California, Davis, while I was on a sabbatical leave.

Book Precise Mapping of Hessian Fly and Stripe Rust Resistance Loci in Pacific Northwest Wheat Germplasm  Triticum Aestivum L

Download or read book Precise Mapping of Hessian Fly and Stripe Rust Resistance Loci in Pacific Northwest Wheat Germplasm Triticum Aestivum L written by Esra Alwan and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hessian fly and stripe rust are major pests of spring wheat in the Pacific Northwest and cultivar resistance is a primary breeding goal. Hessian fly (HF) infestations continue to cause significant yield losses in spring wheat in the Pacific Northwest. In wheat, resistance to Hessian fly is usually controlled in a gene for gene manner, similar to other pathosystems. Hessian fly resistance genes in wheat have been failing as a result to the rapid evolutionary pace of the insect. Stripe rust (denoted by Yr) is a destructive foliar disease of wheat casing damage on an annual basis. Most of the Yr named resistance genes have been overcome as a result of the continuing emergence of new virulence races. Genetic resistance remains the most effective and economical approach to minimize yield losses and respond to pathogen evolution. A doubled haploid (DH) mapping population was generated from a cross between two elite spring wheat lines; 'WA8076', and 'HT080158LU'. The DH population was genotyped with 90K SNP markers using the Illumina Infinium platform. Phenotypic assessment was carried out on the DH population for both Hessian fly and stripe rust response. The genotyping efforts resulted in a total 15,236 polymorphic SNP markers used to establish a high-density genetic map. A single Hessian fly resistance gene (HFR) derived from 'WA8076' was detected on the distal region of chromosome 6BS, flanked by two SNP markers IWB71431 and IWB61175 at a distance of 2.6 cM. In addition, a total of 13 genes/QTL were found to be associated with stripe rust resistance. The adapted superior lines with Yr resistance will be directly incorporated in subsequent breeding efforts as a durable source of resistance. The closely linked SNP markers to the resistance loci, identified in this study, will provide an effective tool to accurately identify, select, and integrate the HF and Yr resistance genes into existing wheat cultivars. The highly dense SNP-based genetic map provides useful information for fine mapping and finding candidate genes underlying QTLs as well as marker-assisted breeding. Furthermore, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) we performed for both seedling and adult plant response in a diverse population of winter wheat germplasm. The population was genotyped with the 90K iSelect wheat single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. Our GWAS study identified a total of 26 loci, comprising a range of existing and novel loci associated with stripe rust resistance. Resistance loci in the winter wheat germplasm can be exploited in the development of broadly-effective disease-resistant commercial wheat cultivars.

Book Genetics of Resistance to Leaf and Stripe Rust Diseases in the Spring Wheat  Amadina

Download or read book Genetics of Resistance to Leaf and Stripe Rust Diseases in the Spring Wheat Amadina written by Peter Michael Bulli Nyori and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this research, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from cross between a leaf rust- and stripe rust-susceptible spring wheat 'Avocet S' and a slow leaf- and stripe-rusting resistant spring wheat 'Amadina' was used to postulate and map leaf rust seedling resistance genes, identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for slow-rusting resistance against leaf and stripe rust, and study slow leaf-rusting components, latent period and infection frequency. Two known Lr genes (Lr23, and Lr26) were identified to be present in 'Amadina' through gene postulation, pedigree, cytogenetic, and polymerase chain reaction analyses. One unknown gene associated with seedling resistance was also mapped on chromosome 1BL. In greenhouse experiment, it was estimated that at least five genes conditioning final disease severity (FS) and latent period (LP), and four genes conditioning infection frequency (IF), segregated in the population. Correlations between LP and FS, and LP and IF were moderately negative, and that between IF and FS was moderately positive, indicating inter-dependence of the traits. Two QTL on chromosomes 1BL and 6BL were associated with LP and FS, and three QTL on chromosomes 1BL, 6BL and 2DS were associated with IF. Segregation of the RIL population in field experiment indicated that there were at least four and three adult plant resistance (APR) genes involved in resistance for leaf and stripe rust. Six QTL on chromosomes 3AL, 4AL, 1BL, 5BL, and 7BL were associated with APR for leaf rust, and seven QTL on chromosome 4AL, 5AL, 1BL, 2BL, 4BL, 5BL, 2DL, and 4D were associated with APR for stripe rust. Our results indicated that the major portion of genetic variability for slow-rusting resistance was additive gene action, and, to some extent, epistasis. In this research, we also explored the utility of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) and analytical operations to discriminate leaf rust pustules from other parts of leaf and to accurately determine pustule size in 'Amadina' and 'Avocet S'.

Book Genetic Mapping of Leaf Rust  Puccinia Triticina Eriks   Resistance in Durum Wheat  Triticum Turgidum Var  Durum L

Download or read book Genetic Mapping of Leaf Rust Puccinia Triticina Eriks Resistance in Durum Wheat Triticum Turgidum Var Durum L written by Xiangyu (Bruce) Pei and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks. (Pt = P. recondita Rob. Ex Desmaz. F. sp. tritici), is an economically significant pathogen affecting durum wheat (Triticum turgidum var. durum L.) crops worldwide. Genetic resistance is one of the most effective and environmentally friendly methods to control leaf rust in wheat. New sources of resistance genes need to be identified due to the threat of new Pt races to durum wheat production. Marker assisted selection (MAS) is a highly efficient method to select resistance genes in breeding programs particularly to pyramid multiple resistance genes in new varieties. The objective of this study was to characterize and map leaf rust resistance genes in a Canadian durum wheat Strongfield. A double haploid (DH) mapping population of 87 DH lines was developed from the cross Strongfield/Blackbird. Seedling rust tests with Pt isolates 12-3 MBDS, 06-1-1 TDBG, 128-1 MBRJ, 74-2 MGBJ, and 77-2 TJBJ revealed a single hypersensitive leaf rust resistance gene. Three genes segregated for resistance to isolate 1-1 BBBD at the seedling stage, one of which controlled resistance to the other five Pt isolates. Blackbird contributed one of the seedling resistance genes effective against isolate 1-1 BBBD. Parental lines and 87 DH lines were genotyped using the Illumina Infinium assay with the iSelect 90K wheat SNP array. A database search using the DNA sequences of linked markers provided a putative location in the Chinese Spring reference genome sequence. The gene conferring resistance to the six isolates used in the study mapped to the long arm of chromosome 3A and was temporarily designated as LrStr_3A. No leaf rust resistance gene has been detected in this region previously. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis identified eight QTL controlling leaf rust resistance in field leaf rust nurseries. One of these QTL mapped to chromosome 3AL as the same region of LrStr_3A. Another QTL mapped to the expected location of the adult plant resistance (APR) gene Lr46 based upon the marker csLV46G22. Kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers were developed for LrStr_3A that will be useful for MAS.

Book Mapping Stem Rust Resistance Genes in  Kingbird

Download or read book Mapping Stem Rust Resistance Genes in Kingbird written by Katherine Gambone and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stem rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, has historically been one of the most important diseases of wheat. Although losses have been much reduced in the last fifty years, new highly virulent races of the pathogen have recently emerged in East Africa. These new races are virulent on nearly all of the currently deployed resistance genes and therefore pose a serious threat to global wheat production. The spring wheat variety 'Kingbird' is thought to contain multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that provide durable, adult-plant resistance against wheat stem rust. Stem rust-susceptible Kansas winter wheat line 'KS05HW14' was backcrossed to Kingbird and 379 recombinant lines were advanced to BC1F5 and then increased for testing. The lines were screened for stem rust resistance in the greenhouse and field in Kansas and in the field in Kenya over multiple years. We identified 16,237 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the Wheat 90K iSelect SNP Chip assay. After filtering for marker quality, linkage maps were constructed for each wheat chromosome. Composite interval mapping and multiple-QTL mapping identified seven QTLs on chromosome arms 2BL, 2DS, 3BS, 3BSc, 5DL, 7BL, and 7DS. Six QTLs were inherited from Kingbird and one QTL on 7BL was inherited from KS05HW14. The location of the QTL on 2BL is approximately at locus Sr9, 3BS is at Sr2, 3BSc is at Sr12, and 7DS is at Lr34/Yr18/Sr57. Although no QTL was found on 1BL, the presence of resistance gene Lr46/Yr29/Sr58 on 1BL in both parents was indicated by the gene-specific marker csLV46. QTLs on 2DS and 5DL may be related to photoperiod or vernalization genes. Pairwise interactions were only observed with race QFCSC, most notably occurring with QTLs 2BL and 3BSc. These results confirm that there are multiple QTLs present in Kingbird. Ultimately, the identification of the QTLs that make Kingbird resistant will aid in the understanding of durable, non-race-specific resistance to stem rust of wheat.

Book Characterization and Genetic Mapping of Leaf Rust  Puccinia Triticina  Resistance Genes Lr2a and Lr46 in Canadian Spring Wheat  Triticum Aestivum  Germplasm

Download or read book Characterization and Genetic Mapping of Leaf Rust Puccinia Triticina Resistance Genes Lr2a and Lr46 in Canadian Spring Wheat Triticum Aestivum Germplasm written by Mallorie Lewarne and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the fungal diseases that can infect bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks. is the most common and widespread. Pyramiding multiple resistance genes in a cultivar using conventional breeding techniques is often expensive and time consuming. Alternatively, marker assisted selection (MAS) allows for accelerated and accurate selection of resistance gene combinations. The objectives of this study were to characterize two leaf rust resistance genes: an adult plant resistance (APR) gene, hypothesized to be Lr46, from wheat line BW278, and a seedling resistance gene, Lr2a, from wheat cultivar Superb. To characterize the APR, two mapping populations derived from BW278 were genotyped with the iSelect 90K wheat SNP array. Both populations were evaluated for leaf rust in inoculated field nurseries for five years. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis revealed two QTL controlling resistance in the BW278/AC Foremost population, one in the region of interest, chromosome 1B and another on chromosome 5A. Two QTL were detected in Superb/BW278, on chromosomes 4B and 5B, however no QTL were detected in the region of interest on 1B. The QTL on 1B in BW278/AC Foremost, designated QLr.mrdc-1B, was tightly linked to both csLV46G22 and DK0900, two markers previously described as tightly linked to the Lr46 locus. Ten SNPs in the QLr.mrdc-1B region were selected for kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) assay design. To characterize Lr2a, two mapping populations derived from Superb (Superb/BW278 & Superb/86ISMN 2137) were genotyped with the iSelect 90 K wheat SNP array, and evaluated with a single race of P. triticina under greenhouse conditions. Two-point linkage analysis between the marker data and phenotypic infection type ratings revealed that the gene mapped to chromosome 2DS in both mapping populations. The linkage maps generated for the two mapping populations had 11 SNP markers in common and displayed collinearity. Seven SNPs that either flanked or co-segregated with Lr2a in Superb/BW278 were selected for KASP assay design. Of the seven markers, kwh740 (Excalibur_c1944_1017) was polymorphic in both populations and displayed clear clusters, making it the most applicable for use in MAS.
