Abstract
Fungal diseases, such as powdery mildew and rusts, significantly affect the quality and yield of wheat. Pyramiding diverse types of resistance genes into cultivars represents the preferred strategy to combat these diseases. Moreover, achieving collaborative improvement between diseases resistance, abiotic stress, quality, and agronomic and yield traits is difficult in genetic breeding. In this study, the wheat cultivar, Guinong 29 (GN29), showed high resistance to powdery mildew and stripe rust at both seedling and adult plant stages, and was susceptible to leaf rust at the seedling stage but slow resistance at the adult-plant stage. Meanwhile, it has elite agronomic and yield traits, indicating promising coordination ability among multiple diseases resistance and other key breeding traits. To determine the genetic basis of these elite traits, GN29 was tested with 113 molecular markers for 98 genes associated with diseases resistance, stress tolerance, quality, and adaptability. The results indicated that two powdery mildew resistance (Pm) genes, Pm2 and Pm21, confirmed the outstanding resistance to powdery mildew through genetic analysis, marker detection, genomic in situ hybridization (GISH), non-denaturing fluorescence in situ hybridization (ND-FISH), and homology-based cloning; the stripe rust resistance (Yr) gene Yr26 and leaf rust resistance (Lr) genes Lr1 and Lr46 conferred the stripe rust and slow leaf rust resistance in GN29, respectively. Meanwhile, GN29 carries dwarfing genes Rht-B1b and Rht-D1a, vernalization genes vrn-A1, vrn-B1, vrn-D1, and vrn-B3, which were consistent with the phenotypic traits in dwarf characteristic and semi-winter property; carries genes Dreb1 and Ta-CRT for stress tolerance to drought, salinity, low temperature, and abscisic acid (ABA), suggesting that GN29 may also have elite stress-tolerance ability; and carries two low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit genes Glu-B3b and Glu-B3bef which contributed to high baking quality. This study not only elucidated the genetic basis of the elite traits in GN29 but also verified the capability for harmonious improvement in both multiple diseases resistance and other comprehensive traits, offering valuable information for breeding breakthrough-resistant cultivars.

Abstract
Powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt) seriously threatens wheat production worldwide. It is imperative to identify novel resistance genes from wheat and its wild relatives to control this disease by host resistance. Dasypyrum villosum (2n = 2x = 14, VV) is a relative of wheat and harbors novel genes for resistance against multi-fungal diseases. In the present study, we developed a complete set of new wheat-D. villosum disomic introgression lines through genomic in situ hybridization (GISH), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and molecular markers analysis, including four disomic substitution lines (2n=42) containing respectively chromosomes 1V#6, 2V#6, 3V#6, and 6V#6, and four disomic addition lines (2n=44) containing respectively chromosomes 4V#6, 5V#6, 6V#6 and 7V#6. These lines were subsequently evaluated for their responses to a mixture Bgt isolates at both seedling and adult-plant stages. Results showed that introgression lines containing chromosomes 3V#6, 5V#6, and 6V#6 exhibited resistance at both seedling and adult-plant stages, whereas the chromosome 4V#6 disomic addition line NAU4V#6-1 exhibited a high level of adult plant resistance to powdery mildew. Moreover, two translocation lines were further developed from the progenies of NAU4V#6-1 and the Ph1b mutation line NAU0686-ph1b. They were T4DL·4V#6S whole-arm translocation line NAU4V#6-2 and T7DL·7DS-4V#6L small-fragment translocation line NAU4V#6-3. Powdery mildew tests of the two lines confirmed the presence of an adult-plant powdery mildew resistance gene, Pm4VL, located on the terminal segment of chromosome arm 4V#6L (FL 0.6-1.00). In comparison with the recurrent parent NAU0686 plants, the T7DL·7DS-4V#6L translocation line NAU4V#6-3 showed no obvious negative effect on yield-related traits, providing a new germplasm in breeding for resistance.

Abstract
Wheat powdery mildew, caused by the biotrophic fungus Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is one of the most devastating diseases affecting wheat throughout the world. Breeding and growing resistant wheat cultivars is one of the most economic and effective methods to control the disease, and as such, identifying and mapping the new and effective resistance genes is critical. Baidatou, a Chinese wheat landrace, shows excellent field resistance to powdery mildew. To identify the resistance gene(s) in Baidatou, 170 F7:8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the cross Mingxian 169/Baidatou were evaluated for powdery mildew response at the adult-plant stage in the experimental fields in Yangling (YL) of Shaanxi Province and Tianshui (TS) in Gansu Province in 2019, 2020, and 2021. The relative area under disease progress curve (rAUDPC) of Mingxian 169/Baidatou F7:8 RILs indicated that the resistance of Baidatou to powdery mildew was controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Based on bulk segregation analysis combined with the 660K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array and genotyping by target sequencing (16K SNP) of the entire RIL population, two QTLs, QPmbdt.nwafu-2AS and QPmbdt.nwafu-3AS, were identified, and these accounted for up to 44.5% of the phenotypic variation. One of the QTLs was located on the 3.32 cM genetic interval on wheat chromosome 2AS between the kompetitive allele-specific PCR markers AX-111012288 and AX_174233809, and another was located on the 9.6 cM genetic interval on chromosome 3AS between the SNP markers 3A_684044820 and 3A_686681822. These markers could be useful for successful breeding of powdery mildew resistance in wheat.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Powdery mildew resistance gene PmXNM, originated from the Chinese wheat landrace Xiaonanmai, was delimited to a 300.7-kb interval enriched with resistance genes. Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is a globally devastating disease threatening the yield and quality of wheat worldwide. The use of broad-spectrum disease resistance genes from wheat landraces is an effective strategy to prevent this pathogen. Chinese wheat landrace Xiaonanmai (XNM) was immune to 23 tested Bgt isolates at the seedling stage. The F1, F2, and F2:4 progenies derived from the cross between XNM and Chinese Spring (CS) were used in this study. Genetic analysis revealed that powdery mildew resistance in XNM was controlled by a single dominant gene, temporarily designated PmXNM. Bulked segregant analysis and molecular mapping delimited PmXNM to the distal terminal region of chromosome 4AL flanked by markers caps213923 and kasp511718. The region carrying the PmXNM locus was approximately 300.7 kb and contained nine high-confidence genes according to the reference genome sequence of CS. Five of these genes, annotated as disease resistance RPP13-like proteins 1, were clustered in the target region. Haplotype analysis using the candidate gene-specific markers indicated that the majority of 267 common wheat accessions (75.3%) exhibited extensive gene losses at the PmXNM locus, as confirmed by aligning the targeted genome sequences of CS with those of other sequenced wheat cultivars. Seven candidate gene-specific markers have proven effective for marker-assisted introgression of PmXNM into modern elite cultivars.

Front Genet 2024; 15:1342239.

Abstract
Powdery mildew is one of the most severe diseases affecting wheat yield and quality and is caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt). Host resistance is the preferred strategy to prevent this disease. However, the narrow genetic basis of common wheat has increased the demand for diversified germplasm resources against powdery mildew. Wheat relatives, especially the secondary gene pool of common wheat, are important gene donors in the genetic improvement of common wheat because of its abundant genetic variation and close kinship with wheat. In this study, a series of 137 wheat relatives, including 53 Triticum monococcum L. (2n = 2x = 14, AA), 6 T. urartu Thumanjan ex Gandilyan (2n = 2x = 14, AA), 9 T. timopheevii Zhuk. (2n = 4x = 28, AAGG), 66 T. aestivum subsp. spelta (2n = 6x = 42, AABBDD), and 3 Aegilops speltoides (2n = 2x = 14, SS) were systematically evaluated for their powdery mildew resistance and composition of Pm genes. Out of 137 (60.58%) accessions, 83 were resistant to Bgt isolate E09 at the seedling stage, and 116 of 137 (84.67%) wheat relatives were resistant to the mixture of Bgt isolates at the adult stage. This indicates that these accessions show a high level of resistance to powdery mildew. Some 31 markers for 23 known Pm genes were used to test these 137 accessions, and, in the results, only Pm2, Pm4, Pm6, Pm58, and Pm68 were detected. Among them, three Pm4 alleles (Pm4a, Pm4b, and Pm4f) were identified in 4 T. subsp. spelta accessions. q-RT PCR further confirmed that Pm4 alleles played a role in disease resistance in these four accessions. The phylogenetic tree showed that the kinship of Pm4 was close to Pm24 and Sr62. This study not only provides reference information and valuable germplasm resources for breeding new wheat varieties with disease resistance but also lays a foundation for enriching the genetic basis of wheat resistance to powdery mildew.

Fine mapping of two recessive powdery mildew resistance genes from Aegilops tauschii accession CIae8. TAG. THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS. THEORETISCHE UND ANGEWANDTE GENETIK 2023; 136:206.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Two recessive powdery mildew resistance loci pmAeCIae8_2DS and pmAeCIae8_7DS from Aegilops tauschii were mapped and two synthesized hexaploid wheat lines were developed by distant hybridization. Wheat powdery mildew (Pm), one of the worldwide destructive fungal diseases, causes significant yield loss up to 30%. The identification of new Pm resistance genes will enrich the genetic diversity of wheat breeding for Pm resistance. Aegilops tauschii is the ancestor donor of sub-genome D of hexaploid wheat. It provides beneficial genes that can be easily transferred into wheat by producing synthetic hexaploid wheat followed by genetic recombination. We assessed the Pm resistance level of 35 Ae. tauschii accessions from different origins. Accession CIae8 exhibited high Pm resistance. Inheritance analysis and gene mapping were performed using F2 and F2:3 populations derived from the cross between CIae8 and a Pm susceptible accession PI574467. The Pm resistance of CIae8 was controlled by two independent recessive genes. Bulked segregate analysis using a 55 K SNP array revealed the SNPs were mainly enriched into genome regions, i.e. 2DS (13.5-20 Mb) and 7DS (4.0-15.5 Mb). The Pm resistance loci were named as pmAeCIae8_2DS and pmAeCIae8_7DS, respectively. By recombinant screening, we narrowed the pmAeCIae8_2DS into a 370-kb interval flanked by markers CINAU-AE7800 (14.89 Mb) and CINAU-AE20 (15.26 Mb), and narrowed the pmAeCIae8_7DS into a 260-kb interval flanked by markers CINAU-AE58 (4.72 Mb) and CINAU-AE25 (4.98 Mb). The molecular markers closely linked with the resistance loci were developed, and two synthesized hexaploid wheat (SHW) lines were produced. These laid the foundation for cloning of the two resistance loci and for transferring the resistance into common wheat.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Host resistance conferred by Pm genes provides an effective strategy to control powdery mildew. The study of Pm genes helps modern breeding develop toward more intelligent and customized. Powdery mildew of wheat is one of the most destructive diseases seriously threatening the crop yield and quality worldwide. The genetic research on powdery mildew (Pm) resistance has entered a new era. Many Pm genes from wheat and its wild and domesticated relatives have been mined and cloned. Meanwhile, modern breeding strategies based on high-throughput sequencing and genome editing are emerging and developing toward more intelligent and customized. This review highlights mining and cloning of Pm genes, molecular mechanism studies on the resistance and avirulence genes, and prospects for genomic-assisted breeding for powdery mildew resistance in wheat.

[PMID: 37027037 DOI: 10.1007/s00122-023-04289-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
KEY MESSAGE A novel locus for Fusarium crown rot (FCR) resistance was identified on chromosome 1B at 641.36-645.13 Mb using GWAS and could averagely increase 39.66% of FCR resistance in a biparental population. Fusarium crown rot can cause considerable yield losses. Developing and growing resistance cultivars is one of the most effective approaches for controlling this disease. In this study, 361 Chinese wheat landraces were evaluated for FCR resistance, and 27 with the disease index lower than 30.00 showed potential in wheat breeding programs. Using a genome-wide association study approach, putative quantitative trait loci (QTL) for FCR resistance was identified. A total of 21 putative loci on chromosomes 1A, 1B, 2B, 2D, 3B, 3D, 4B, 5A, 5B, 7A, and 7B were significantly associated with FCR resistance. Among these, a major locus Qfcr.sicau.1B-4 was consistently identified among all the trials on chromosome 1B with the physical regions from 641.36 to 645.13 Mb. A polymorphism kompetitive allele-specific polymerase (KASP) marker was developed and used to validate its effect in an F2:3 population consisting of 136 lines. The results showed the presence of this resistance allele could explain up to 39.66% of phenotypic variance compared to its counterparts. In addition, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction showed that two candidate genes of Qfcr.sicau.1B-4 were differently expressed after inoculation. Our study provided useful information for improving FCR resistance in wheat.

Abstract
Powdery mildew is a fungal disease devastating to wheat, causing significant quality and yield loss. Flavonoids are important secondary plant metabolites that confer resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. However, whether they play a role in powdery mildew resistance in wheat has yet to be explored. In the present study, we combined transcriptome and metabolome analyses to compare differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially accumulated flavonoids identified in plants with and without powdery mildew inoculation. Transcriptome analysis identified 4,329 DEGs in susceptible wheat cv. Jimai229, and 8,493 in resistant cv. HHG46. The DEGs were functionally enriched using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, revealing the flavonoid synthesis pathway as the most significant in both cultivars. This was consistent with the upregulation of flavonoid synthesis pathway genes observed by quantitative PCR. Metabolome analysis indicated flavone and flavonol biosynthesis pathways as the most significantly enriched following powdery mildew inoculation. An accumulation of total flavonoids content was also found to be induced by powdery mildew infection. Exogenous flavonoids treatment of inoculated plants led to less severe infection, with fewer and smaller powdery mildew spots on the wheat leaves. This reduction is speculated to be regulated through malondialdehyde content and the activities of peroxidase and catalase. Our study provides a fundamental theory for further exploration of the potential of flavonoids as biological prevention and control agents against powdery mildew in wheat.

Abstract
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), poses a severe threat to wheat yield and quality worldwide. Rapid identification and the accurate transference of effective resistance genes are important to the development of resistant cultivars and the sustainable control of this disease. In the present study, the wheat line AL11 exhibited high levels of resistance to powdery mildew at both the seedling and adult plant stages. Genetic analysis of the AL11 × 'Shixin 733' mapping population revealed that its resistance was controlled by a single dominant gene, tentatively designated PmAL11. Using bulked segregant RNA-Seq and molecular marker analysis, PmAL11 was mapped to the Pm5 locus on chromosome 7B where it cosegregated with the functional marker Pm5e-KASP. Sequence alignment analysis revealed that the Pm5e-homologous sequence in AL11 was identical to the reported recessive gene Pm5e in wheat landrace 'Fuzhuang 30'. It appears that PmAL11 was most probably Pm5e, but it was mediated by a dominant inheritance pattern, so it should provide a valuable resistance resource for both genetic study and wheat breeding. To efficiently use and trace PmAL11 in breeding, a new kompetitive allele-specific PCR marker AL11-K2488 that cosegregated with this gene was developed and confirmed to be applicable in the different wheat backgrounds, thus promoting its use in the marker-assisted selection of PmAL11.

Abstract
Powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt) is a destructive disease of wheat throughout the world. Host resistance is considered the most sustainable way to control this disease. Powdery mildew resistance gene Pm2b was mapped to the same genetic interval with Pm2a and PmCH1357 cloned previously, but showed different resistance spectra from them, indicating that they might be caused by different resistance genes or alleles. In this study, Pm2b was delimited to a 1.64 Mb physical interval using a large segregating population containing 4,354 F2:3 families of resistant parent KM2939 and susceptible cultivar Shimai 15. In this interval, TraesCS5D03G0111700 encoding the coiled-coil nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat protein (CC-NBS-LRR) was determined as the candidate gene of Pm2b. Silencing by barley stripe mosaic virus-induced gene silencing (BSMV-VIGS) technology and two independent mutants analysis in KM2939 confirmed the candidate gene TraesCS5D03G0111700 was Pm2b. The sequence of Pm2b was consistent with Pm2a/PmCH1357. Subcellular localization showed Pm2b was located on the cell nucleus and plasma membrane. Pm2b had the highest expression level in leaves and was rapidly up-regulated after inoculating with Bgt isolate E09. The yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) and luciferase complementation imaging assays (LCI) showed that PM2b could self-associate through the NB domain. Notably, we identified PM2b interacting with the transcription factor TaWRKY76-D, which depended on the NB domain of PM2b and WRKY domain of TaWRKY76-D. TaWRKY76-D negatively regulated the resistance to powdery mildew in wheat. The specific KASP marker K529 could take the advantage of high-throughput and high-efficiency for detecting Pm2b and be useful in molecular marker assisted-selection breeding. In conclusion, cloning and disease resistance mechanism analysis of Pm2b provided an example to emphasize a need of the molecular isolation of resistance genes, which has implications in marker assisted wheat breeding.

Abstract
A novel powdery mildew resistance gene Pm2Mb from Aegilops biuncialis was transferred into common wheat and mapped to chromosome 2MbL bin FL 0.49-0.66 by molecular cytogenetic analysis of 2Mb recombinants. Aegilops biuncialis, a wild relative of common wheat, is highly resistant to powdery mildew. Previous studies identified that chromosome 2Mb in Chinese Spring (CS)-Ae. biuncialis 2Mb disomic addition line TA7733 conferred high resistance to powdery mildew, and the resistance gene was temporarily designated as Pm2Mb. In this study, a total of 65 CS-Ae. biuncialis 2Mb recombinants were developed by ph1b-induced homoeologous recombination and they were grouped into 12 different types based on the presence of different markers of 2Mb-specificity. Segment sizes and breakpoints of each 2Mb recombinant type were further characterized using in situ hybridization and molecular marker analyses. Powdery mildew responses of each type were assessed by inoculation of each 2Mb recombinant-derived F2 progenies using the isolate E05. Combined analyses of in situ hybridization, molecular markers and powdery mildew resistance data of the 2Mb recombinants, the gene Pm2Mb was cytologically located to an interval of FL 0.49-0.66 in the long arm of 2Mb, where 19 2Mb-specific markers were located. Among the 65 2Mb recombinants, T-11 (T2DS.2DL-2MbL) and T-12 (Ti2DS.2DL-2MbL-2DL) contained a small 2MbL segment harboring Pm2Mb. Besides, a physical map of chromosome 2Mb was constructed with 70 2Mb-specific markers in 10 chromosomal bins and the map showed that submetacentric chromosome 2Mb of Ae. biuncialis was rearranged by a terminal intrachromosomal translocation. The newly developed 2Mb recombinants with powdery mildew resistance, the 2Mb-specific molecular markers and the physical map of chromosome 2Mb will benefit wheat disease breeding as well as fine mapping and cloning of Pm2Mb.

Abstract
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is a devastating disease of wheat that seriously affects yield and quality worldwide. Because of the extensive growth of wheat cultivars with homogeneous genetic background, exploring novel resistant resources from wheat relatives has become important for increasing the genetic diversity of wheat. Rye (Secale cereale) is a wheat relative possessing abundant resistance genes because of its high variation. Wheat line AL69, resistant to powdery mildew, was developed by crossing, backcrossing, and self-pollination for multiple generations between hexaploid triticale Zhongsi 237 and common wheat cultivar Zimai 17. Through genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) and multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), nondenaturing FISH, multicolor GISH, and selection with specific molecular markers, AL69 was determined to be a wheat-rye 2R (2D) disomic substitution line. Testing with different B. graminis f. sp. tritici isolates and genetic analysis showed that the all-stage resistance (also called seedling resistance) of AL69 was conferred by the cataloged powdery mildew resistance gene Pm4b derived from Zimai 17, and its adult-plant resistance was derived from the alien chromosome 2R of Zhongsi 237, which was found to be different from the previously reported rye-derived Pm genes, including Pm7 on 2RL. In addition, AL69 showed improved spike number per plant, spike length, fertile spikelet number per spike, kernel number per spike, and grain yield per plant compared with its wheat parent Zimai 17. An elite line S251 combining powdery mildew resistance with excellent agronomic performance was selected from the progenies of AL69 and wheat cultivar Jimai 22. Therefore, AL69 has two types of resistance genes to powdery mildew and improved agronomic traits through pyramiding and thus can be used as a promising genetic stock for wheat breeding.

Abstract
Powdery mildew is one of the most destructive diseases in wheat production. Identifying novel resistance genes and deploying them in new cultivars is the most effective approach to minimize wheat losses caused by powdery mildew. In this study, wheat breeding line PBDH1607 showed high resistance to powdery mildew at both the seedling and adult plant stages. Genetic analysis of the seedling data demonstrated that the resistance was controlled by a single dominant gene, tentatively designated PmPBDH. The ΔSNP index based on bulked segregant RNA sequencing indicated that PmPBDH was associated with an interval of about 30.8 Mb (713.5 to 744.3 Mb) on chromosome arm 4AL. Using newly developed markers, we mapped PmPBDH to a 3.2-cM interval covering 7.1 Mb (719,055,516 to 726,215,121 bp). This interval differed from those of Pm61 (717,963,176 to 719,260,469 bp), MlIW30 (732,769,506 to 732,790,522 bp), and MlNSF10 (729,275,816 to 731,365,462 bp) reported on the same chromosome arm. PmPBDH also differed from Pm61, MlIW30, and MlNSF10 by its response spectrum, origin, or inheritance mode, suggesting that PmPBDH should be a new Pm gene. In the candidate interval, five genes were found to be associated with PmPBDH via time course gene expression analysis, and thus they are candidate genes of PmPBDH. Six closely linked markers, including two kompetitive allele-specific PCR markers, were confirmed to be applicable for tracking PmPBDH in marker-assisted breeding.

Abstract
A new wheat-Thinopyrum ponticum translocation line with excellent powdery mildew resistance was produced, and alien-specific PCR markers and FISH probes were developed by SLAF-seq. Powdery mildew is one of the most threatening diseases in wheat production. Thinopyrum ponticum (Podp.) Barkworth and D. R. Dewey, as a wild relative, has been used for wheat genetic improvement for the better part of a century. In view of the good powdery mildew resistance of Th. ponticum, we have been working to transfer the resistance genes from Th. ponticum to wheat by creating translocation lines. In this study, a new wheat-Th. ponticum translocation line with excellent resistance and agronomic performance was developed and through seedling disease evaluation, gene postulation and diagnostic marker analysis proved to carry a novel Pm gene derived from Th. ponticum. Cytogenetic analysis revealed that a small alien segment was translocated to the terminal of chromosome 1D to form new translocation TTh-1DS·1DL chromosome. The translocation breakpoint was determined to lie in 21.5 Mb region of chromosome 1D by using Wheat660K SNP array analysis. Based on specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq) technology, eight molecular markers and one repetitive sequence probe were developed, which were specific for Th. ponticum. Fortunately, the probe could be used in distinguishing six alien chromosome pairs in partial amphiploid Xiaoyan 7430 by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Furthermore, a Thinopyrum-specific oligonucleotide probe was designed depending on the sequence information of the FISH probe. The novel translocation line could be used in wheat disease resistance breeding, and these specific markers and probes will enable wheat breeders to rapidly trace the alien genome with the novel Pm gene(s).

Abstract
Rye (Secale cereale L.), a naturally cross-pollinating relative of wheat, is a tertiary gene donor and of substantial value in wheat improvement. Wheat powdery mildew is caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), which seriously affects yield and quality worldwide. Identifying and transferring new, effective resistance genes against powdery mildew from rye is important for wheat breeding. The current study developed a wheat-rye line YT2 resistant to powdery mildew by crossing, backcrossing, and self-pollination for multiple generations between octoploid triticale 09R2-100 and common wheat cultivar Shixin 616. YT2 was confirmed to be a 6R disomic addition and T1RS⋅1BL translocation line by genomic in situ hybridization (GISH), multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (mc-FISH), multicolor-GISH (mc-GISH), and molecular marker analyses. Disease responses to different Bgt isolates and genetic analysis showed that the powdery mildew resistance gene of YT2 was derived from the rye chromosome 6R of 09R2-100, which differed from the previously reported Pm genes from rye including Pm20 on 6RL. Resistance phenotype of different translocation lines and deletion lines derived from YT2 combined with newly developed 6RL-specific markers analysis suggested that the powdery mildew resistance gene of YT2 was localized to the region in chromosome 6RL: 890.09-967.51 Mb and flanked by markers XM189 and X4M19, corresponding to the reference genome of Weining rye. Therefore, YT2 could be used as a promising bridging parent for wheat disease resistance improvement.

Abstract
Wheat powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is a devastating disease that threatens yield and quality. Host resistance is considered the most effective and preferred means to control this disease. Wheat landrace Duanganmang (DGM) showed high resistance or near immunity to Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici mixture from Henan Province, China. DGM was crossed with highly susceptible Chinese wheat landrace Huixianhong (HXH) and cultivar 'Shimai 15' (SM15) to produce genetic populations. The resistance of DGM to Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici isolate E09 was shown to be controlled by a single dominant Mendelian factor, tentatively designated PmDGM. Marker analysis and 55K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array scanning showed that this gene was positioned in the Pm5 interval (2.4 cM or 1.61 Mb) flanked by Xhenu099 and Xmp1158 in the Chinese Spring reference genome. Homology-based cloning and sequence analysis demonstrated that DGM has the identical NLR gene (Pm5e) and RXL gene reported in Fuzhuang 30 (FZ30), conferring and modifying powdery mildew resistance, respectively. However, based on the different reaction patterns to the Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici isolate B15 between DGM and FZ30, the authors speculate that DGM may have two tightly linked genes that could not be separated in the current mapping population, one of which is PmDGM and the other being Pm5e. Hence, this study provides a valuable resistance resource for improvement of powdery mildew resistance.

Abstract
High-resolution genome-wide association study (GWAS) facilitated QTL fine mapping and candidate gene identification, and the GWAS based genomic prediction models were highly predictive and valuable in wheat genomic breeding. Wheat is a major staple food crop and provides more than one-fifth of the daily calories and dietary proteins for humans. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) and genomic selection (GS) for wheat stress resistance and tolerance related traits are critical to understanding their genetic architecture for improvement of breeding selection efficiency. However, the insufficient marker density in previous studies limited the utility of GWAS and GS in wheat genomic breeding. Here, we conducted a high-resolution GWAS for wheat leaf rust (LR), yellow rust (YR), powdery mildew (PM), and cold tolerance (CT) by genotyping a panel of 768 wheat cultivars using genotyping-by-sequencing. Among 153 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) identified, 81 QTLs were delimited to ≤ 1.0 Mb intervals with three validated using bi-parental populations. Furthermore, 837 stress resistance-related genes were identified in the QTL regions with 12 showing induced expression by YR and PM pathogens. Genomic prediction using 2608, 4064, 3907, and 2136 pre-selected SNPs based on GWAS and genotypic correlations between the SNPs showed high prediction accuracies of 0.76, 0.73, and 0.78 for resistance to LR, YR, and PM, respectively, and 0.83 for resistance to cold damage. Our study laid a solid foundation for large-scale QTL fine mapping, candidate gene validation and GS in wheat.

Abstract
Powdery mildew, caused by fungal pathogen Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is an agronomically important and widespread wheat disease causing severe yield losses. Deployment of broad-spectrum disease resistance genes is the preferred strategy to prevent this pathogen. Chinese wheat landrace Honghuaxiaomai (HHXM) was resistant to all 23 tested B. graminis f. sp. tritici isolates at the seedling stage. The F1, F2, and F2:3 progenies derived from the cross HHXM × Yangmai 158 were used in this study, and genetic analysis revealed that a single dominant gene, designated PmHHXM, conferred resistance to B. graminis f. sp. tritici isolate E09. Bulked segregant analysis and molecular mapping initially located PmHHXM to the distal region of chromosome 4AL. To fine map PmHHXM, we identified two critical recombinants from 592 F2 plants and delimited PmHHXM to a 0.18-cM Xkasp475200 to Xhnu552 interval covering 1.77 Mb, in which a number of disease resistance-related gene clusters were annotated. Comparative mapping of this interval revealed a perturbed synteny among Triticeae species. This study reports the new powdery mildew resistance gene PmHHXM, which seems different from three known quantitative trait loci/genes identified on chromosome 4AL and has significant values for further genetic improvement. Analysis of the polymorphisms of 13 cosegregating markers between HHXM and 170 modern wheat cultivars indicates that Xhnu227 and Xsts478700 developed here are ideal for marker-assisted introgression of this locus in wheat breeding.

Fine mapping of a powdery mildew resistance gene MlIW39 derived from wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides). TAG. THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS. THEORETISCHE UND ANGEWANDTE GENETIK 2021; 134:2469-2479.

Abstract
Powdery mildew resistance gene MlIW39, originated from wild emmer wheat accession IW39, was mapped to a 460.3 kb genomic interval on wheat chromosome arm 2BS. Wheat powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is destructive disease and a significant threat to wheat production globally. The most effective way to control this disease is genetic resistance. However, when resistance genes become widely deployed in agriculture, their effectiveness is compromised by virulent variants that were previously minor components of the pathogen population or that arise from mutation. This necessitates continual search for new sources of resistance in both wheat and its near relatives. In this study, we produced a common wheat line 8D49 (87-1/IW39//2*87-1), which has all-stage immunity to Bgt isolate E09 and many other Chinese Bgt isolates, by transferring powdery mildew resistance from Israeli wild emmer wheat (WEW) accession IW39 to the susceptible common wheat line 87-1. Genetic analysis indicated that the powdery mildew resistance in 8D49 was controlled by a single dominant gene, temporarily designated MlIW39. Genetic linkage analyses with molecular markers showed that MlIW39 was located in a 0.7 cm genetic region between markers QB-3-16 and 7Seq546 on the short arm of chromosome 2B. Fine mapping using three large F2 populations delimited MlIW39 to a physical interval of approximately 460.3 kb region in the WEW reference genome (Zavitan v1.0) that contained six annotated protein-coding genes, four of which had gene structures similar to known disease resistance genes. This provides a foundation for map-based cloning of MlIW39. Markers 7Seq622 and 7Seq727 co-segregating with MlIW39 can be utilized for marker-assisted selection in further genetic studies and wheat breeding.

Du X, Xu W, Peng C, Li C, Zhang Y, Hu L. Identification and validation of a novel locus, Qpm-3BL, for adult plant resistance to powdery mildew in wheat using multilocus GWAS. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2021; 21:357. [PMID: 34330216 PMCID: PMC8323325 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-021-03093-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/10/2021] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Powdery mildew (PM), one of the major diseases in wheat, severely damages yield and quality, and the most economical and effective way to address this issue is to breed disease-resistant cultivars. Accordingly, 371 landraces and 266 released cultivars in Henan Province were genotyped by a 660 K microarray and phenotyped for adult plant resistance (APR) to PM from 2017 to 2020, and these datasets were used to conduct multilocus genome-wide association studies (GWASs). RESULTS Thirty-six varieties showed stable APR in all the environments, and eleven quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) were found by multiple methods across multiple environments and best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values to be significantly associated with APR. Among these stable QTNs, four were previously reported, three were newly discovered in this study, and the others need to be further investigated. The major and newly discovered QTN, Qpm-3BL, was located at chr03BL_AX-109,052,670, while another newly discovered QTN, Qpm-1BL, was located between chr01BL_AX-108,771,002 and chr01BL_AX-110,117,322. Five and eight landraces were identified to be resistant based on Qpm-1BL (haplotype TC) and Qpm-3BL (allele T), respectively. To validate Qpm-3BL, a new kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) marker was developed to scan 155 F2 individuals, and the average resistance score supported the value of Qpm-3BL in marker-assisted breeding. Near Qpm-3BL, PmBMYD was identified by KEGG, gene expression and comparative genomics analyses to be a candidate. Its resistance mechanism may involve gene tandem repeats. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals a previously unknown gene for PM resistance that is available for marker-assisted breeding.

Importance of Landraces in Cereal Breeding for Stress Tolerance. PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10071267.

Abstract
The renewed focus on cereal landraces is a response to some negative consequences of modern agriculture and conventional breeding which led to a reduction of genetic diversity. Cereal landraces are still cultivated on marginal lands due to their adaptability to unfavourable conditions, constituting an important source of genetic diversity usable in modern plant breeding to improve the adaptation to abiotic or biotic stresses, yield performance and quality traits in limiting environments. Traditional agricultural production systems have played an important role in the evolution and conservation of wide variability in gene pools within species. Today, on-farm and ex situ conservation in gene bank collections, together with data sharing among researchers and breeders, will greatly benefit cereal improvement. Many efforts are usually made to collect, organize and phenotypically and genotypically analyse cereal landrace collections, which also utilize genomic approaches. Their use in breeding programs based on genomic selection, and the discovery of beneficial untapped QTL/genes/alleles which could be introgressed into modern varieties by MAS, pyramiding or biotechnological tools, increase the potential for their better deployment and exploitation in breeding for a more sustainable agricultural production, particularly enhancing adaptation and productivity in stress-prone environments to cope with current climate changes.

Abstract
A single dominant powdery mildew resistance gene MlNFS10 was identified in wild emmer wheat and mapped within a 0.3cM genetic interval spanning a 2.1Mb physical interval on chromosome arm 4AL. Wheat powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis forma specialis tritici (Bgt) is a globally devastating disease. The use of powdery mildew resistance genes from wild relatives of wheat is an effective method of disease management. Our previous research has shown that disruptive ecological selection has driven the discrete adaptations of the wild emmer wheat population on the south facing slope (SFS) and north facing slope (NFS) at the microsite of "Evolution Canyon" at Mount Carmel, Israel and demonstrated that 16 accessions in the NFS population display high resistance to 11 powdery mildew isolates (collected from different wheat fields in China). Here, we constructed bi-parental population by crossing the accession NFS-10 (resistant to 22 Bgt races collected from China in seedling resistance screen) and the susceptible line SFS2-12. Genetic analysis indicated that NFS-10 carries a single dominant gene, temporarily designated MlNFS10. Ultimately, 13 markers were successfully located within the long arm of chromosome 4A, thereby delineating MlNFS10 to a 0.3 cM interval covering 2.1 Mb (729275816-731365462) in the Chinese Spring reference sequence. We identified disease resistance-associated genes based on the RNA-seq analysis of both parents. The tightly linked InDel marker XWsdau73447 and SSR marker XWsdau72928 were developed and used for marker-assisted selection when MlNFS10 was introgressed into a hexaploid wheat background. Therefore, MlNFS10 can be used for improvement of germplasm in breeding programs for powdery mildew resistant cultivars.

Abstract
Chinese wheat landrace Youbailan has excellent resistance to powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici. In the present study, genetic analysis indicated that a recessive gene, tentatively designated pmYBL, was responsible for the powdery mildew resistance of Youbailan. pmYBL was located in the 695-to-715-Mb genomic region of chromosome 7BL, with 19 gene-linked single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. It was flanked by SNP1-12 and SNP1-2 with genetic distances of 0.6 and 1.8 centimorgans, respectively. The disease reaction patterns of Youbailan and four cultivars (lines) carrying the powdery mildew (Pm) genes located on chromosome arm 7BL indicated that pmYBL may be allelic or closely linked to these genes. All of the SNP markers linked to pmYBL were diagnostic, indicating that these markers will be useful for pyramiding pmYBL using marker-assisted selection.

Abstract
Powdery mildew, caused by the biotrophic fungal pathogen Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is a globally important wheat disease causing severe yield losses, and deployment of resistant varieties is the preferred choice for managing this disease. Chinese wheat landrace Datoumai was resistant to 22 of 23 Bgt isolates at the seedling stage. Genetic analysis based on the inoculation of Bgt isolate E09 on the F1, F2, and F2:3 populations derived from the cross Datoumai × Huixianhong revealed that the powdery mildew resistance of Datoumai is controlled by a single dominant gene, temporarily designated as PmDTM. Bulked segregant analysis and simple sequence repeat mapping with 200 F2 plants showed that PmDTM was located in the same genetic region as Pm24 on chromosome 1DS. To fine map PmDTM, 12 critical recombinants were identified from 1,192 F2 plants and delimited PmDTM to a 0.5-cM Xhnu58800 to Xhnu59000 interval covering 180.5 Kb (38,728,125 to 38,908,656 bp) on chromosome 1DS, and only one highly confident gene, TraesCS1D02G058900, was annotated within this region. TraesCS1D02G058900 encodes a receptor-like serine/threonine-protein kinase (STK), and a 6-bp deletion in exon 5 may confer the resistance to powdery mildew. Allele frequency analysis indicated that the STK allele with 6-bp deletion was only present in three landraces (Datoumai, Chiyacao [Pm24], and Hulutou) and was absent in all of the 353 Chinese modern cultivars and 147 foreign cultivars. These results demonstrate that PmDTM is mapped to the same locus as Pm24 and can be widely used to enhance powdery mildew resistance in wheat growing regions worldwide.

Abstract
Powdery mildew, which is caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is a disease of wheat worldwide. Xiaobaidong is a Chinese wheat landrace, which still maintains good resistance against powdery mildew. To obtain more genetic markers closely linked to the powdery mildew resistance gene mlxbd and narrow the candidate region for its isolation, new simple sequence repeats and cross intron-spanning markers were designed based on the genome sequence of Triticum aestivum cultivar Chinese Spring chromosome 7BL. The flanking markers 7BLSSR49 and WGGC5746 were found to be tightly linked to mlxbd at genetic distances of 0.4 cM and 0.3 cM, respectively. The resistance locus was mapped to a 63.40 kb and 0.29 Mb region of the Chinese Spring genome and Zavitan genome, respectively. The linked markers of mlxbd could be used as diagnostic markers for mlxbd. The linked molecular markers and delineated genomic region in the sequenced Chinese Spring genome will assist the future map-based cloning of mlxbd.

Abstract
Using the ph1b mutant, the recombination frequency between the homoeologous region of 2B and 2G was significantly increased. By this, we narrowed Pm6 to a 0.9 Mb physical region. The powdery mildew (Pm) resistance gene Pm6 from Triticum timopheevii (2n = 48, AAGG) was mapped to the long arm of chromosome 2G and introduced into common wheat in the form of 2B-2G introgressions. The introgression line IGV1-465 has the shortest 2G segment, which is estimated 37 Mb in size when referring to 2BL genome reference of Chinese Spring (CS). The further fine mapping of Pm6 was impeded by the inhibition of allogeneic chromosome recombination between 2B and 2G in the Pm6 region. In the present study, to overcome 2B/2G recombination suppression, a ph1b-based strategy was employed to produce introgressions with reduced 2G fragments for the fine mapping of Pm6. IGV1-465 was crossed and backcrossed to the CSph1b mutant to produce plants with increased 2B/2G chromosome pairing frequency at the Pm6 region. A total of 182 allogeneic recombinants were obtained through two-round screening, i.e., first round of screening of 820 BC1F2:3 progenies using the flanking markers CIT02g-14/CIT02g-19 and second round of screening of 642 BC1F2:4 progenies using the flanking markers CIT02g-13/CIT02g-18, respectively. Through marker analysis using 30 chromosome 2G-specific markers located in the Pm6 region, the identified recombinants were divided into 14 haplotypes. Pm resistance evaluation of these haplotypes enabled us to narrow Pm6 to a 0.9 Mb physical region of 2BL, flanked by markers CIT02g-20 and CIT02g-18. Six wheat varieties containing Pm6 were identified from a natural population, and they showed increased Pm resistance. This implied Pm6 is still effective, especially when used in combination with other Pm resistance genes.

Abstract
Wheat powdery mildew is caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), a biotrophic fungal species. It is very important to mine new powdery mildew (Pm) resistance genes for developing resistant wheat cultivars to reduce the deleterious effects of the disease. This study was carried out to characterize the Pm gene in Qingxinmai, a winter wheat landrace from Xinjiang, China. Qingxinmai is resistant to many Bgt isolates collected from different wheat fields in China. F1, F2, and F2:3 generations of the cross between Qingxinmai and powdery mildew susceptible line 041133 were developed. It was confirmed that a single recessive gene, PmQ, conferred the seedling resistance to a Bgt isolate in Qingxinmai. Bulked segregant analysis-RNA-Seq (BSR-Seq) was performed on the bulked homozygous resistant and susceptible F2:3 families, which detected 57 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants that were enriched in a 40 Mb genomic interval on chromosome arm 2BL. Based on the flanking sequences of the candidate SNPs extracted from the Chinese Spring reference genome, 485 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were designed. Six polymorphic SSR markers, together with nine markers that were anchored on chromosome arm 2BL, were used to construct a genetic linkage map for PmQ. This gene was placed in a 1.4 cM genetic interval between markers Xicsq405 and WGGBH913 corresponding to 4.9 Mb physical region in the Chinese Spring reference genome. PmQ differed from most of the other Pm genes identified on chromosome arm 2BL based on its position and/or origin. However, this gene and Pm63 from an Iranian common wheat landrace were located in a similar genomic region, so they may be allelic.

A rare gain of function mutation in a wheat tandem kinase confers resistance to powdery mildew. Nat Commun 2020; 11:680. [PMID: 32015344 PMCID: PMC6997164 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-14294-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 89] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2019] [Accepted: 12/19/2019] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is one of the most destructive diseases that pose a great threat to wheat production. Wheat landraces represent a rich source of powdery mildew resistance. Here, we report the map-based cloning of powdery mildew resistance gene Pm24 from Chinese wheat landrace Hulutou. It encodes a tandem kinase protein (TKP) with putative kinase-pseudokinase domains, designated WHEAT TANDEM KINASE 3 (WTK3). The resistance function of Pm24 was validated by transgenic assay, independent mutants, and allelic association analyses. Haplotype analysis revealed that a rare 6-bp natural deletion of lysine-glycine codons, endemic to wheat landraces of Shaanxi Province, China, in the kinase I domain (Kin I) of WTK3 is critical for the resistance function. Transgenic assay of WTK3 chimeric variants revealed that only the specific two amino acid deletion, rather than any of the single or more amino acid deletions, in the Kin I of WTK3 is responsible for gaining the resistance function of WTK3 against the Bgt fungus.

Abstract
Chinese wheat landrace Dahongtou was resistant to 35 of 38 tested Chinese isolates of Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici at the seedling stage. Genetic analysis of the F2 populations and their derived F2:3 families of crosses of Dahongtou with the susceptible varieties Mingxian 169 and Huixianhong indicated that the resistance of Dahongtou to B. graminis f. sp. tritici isolate E09 was conferred by a single recessive gene, tentatively designated as pmDHT. The gene was mapped to chromosome arm 7BL and flanked by markers Xwmc526/XBE443877 and Xgwm611/Xwmc511 at genetic distances of 0.8 and 0.3 cM, respectively. The chromosomal position of pmDHT was similar to the multi-allelic Pm5 locus on 7BL. Allelism tests with crosses of Dahongtou with Fuzhuang 30 (Pm5e) and Xiaobaidong (mlxbd) indicated that pmDHT was allelic to both Pm5e and mlxbd. However, pmDHT showed a different pattern of resistance to the 38 B. graminis f. sp. tritici isolates compared with wheat lines with Pm5a, Pm5b, Pm5e, mlxbd, and PmHYM and also differed from PmSGA. Thus, pmDHT was identified most likely as a new allele or at least a closely linked gene of the Pm5 locus. This gene can be transferred into susceptible wheat cultivars/lines and pyramided with other resistance genes through marker-assisted selection to improve powdery mildew resistance.

Abstract
A new powdery mildew resistance gene that can be readily used in wheat breeding, Pm65, was identified in the facultative wheat cultivar Xinmai 208 and mapped to the terminal region of chromosome 2AL. Wheat powdery mildew, a widely occurring disease caused by the biotrophic fungus Blumeriagraminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), poses a serious threat to wheat production. A high breeding priority is to identify powdery mildew resistance genes that can be readily used either alone or in gene complexes involving other disease resistance genes. An F2 population and 227 F2:3 families derived from the cross Xinmai 208 × Stardust were generated to map a powdery mildew resistance gene in Xinmai 208, a high-yielding Chinese wheat cultivar. Genetic analysis indicated that Xinmai 208 carries a single dominant powdery mildew resistance gene, designated herein Pm65, and linkage analysis delimited Pm65 to a 0.5 cM interval covering 531.8 Kb (763,289,667-763,821,463 bp) on chromosome 2AL in the Chinese Spring reference sequence. An allelism test indicated that Pm65 is a new gene about 10.3 cM distal to the Pm4 locus. Pm65 was 0.3 cM proximal to Xstars355 and 0.2 cM distal to Xstars356. It conferred near-immunity to 19 of 20 Bgt isolates collected from different wheat-growing regions of the USA. Coming from a high-yield potential cultivar, Pm65 can be directly used to enhance powdery mildew resistance in wheat. The newly developed SSR markers Xstars355 and Xstars356 have the potential to tag Pm65 for wheat improvement.

Abstract
A new powdery mildew resistance gene conferring a wide spectrum of resistance to Bgt isolates in the USA, Pm63 , was identified in Iranian wheat landrace PI 628024 and mapped to the terminal region of the long arm of chromosome 2B. Powdery mildew is a globally important wheat disease causing severe yield losses, and host resistance is the preferred strategy for managing this disease. The objective of this study was to characterize a powdery mildew resistance gene in Iranian landrace PI 628024, which exhibited a wide spectrum of resistance to representative Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt) isolates collected from different regions of the USA. An F2 population and F2:3 lines derived from the cross PI 628024 × CItr 11349 were used in this study, and genetic analysis indicated that a single dominant gene, designated Pm63, conferred resistance to Bgt isolate OKS(14)-B-3-1. Linkage analysis located Pm63 to an interval of about 13.1 Mb on the long arm of chromosome 2B, spanning 710.3-723.4 Mb in the Chinese Spring reference sequence. Bin mapping assigned Pm63 to the terminal bin 2BL6-0.89-1.0, 1.1 cM proximal to STS marker Xbcd135-2 and 0.6 cM distal to SSR marker Xstars419. Allelism tests indicated that Pm63 is a new powdery mildew resistance gene, which differs from other genes in the terminal bin by origin, genomic location, and responses to a set of 16 representative US Bgt isolates. Pm63 can be widely used to enhance powdery mildew resistance in the Great Plains, western, and southeastern regions of the USA.

Comparative Proteomic Analysis of Wheat Carrying Pm40 Response to Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici Using Two-Dimensional Electrophoresis. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20040933.

Abstract
Wheat powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt) is considered a major wheat leaf disease in the main wheat producing regions of the world. Although many resistant wheat cultivars to this disease have been developed, little is known about their resistance mechanisms. Pm40 is a broad, effective resistance gene against powdery mildew in wheat line L699. The aim of this study was to investigate the resistance proteins after Bgt inoculation in wheat lines L699, Neimai836, and Chuannong26. Neimai836 with Pm21 was used as the resistant control, and Chuannong26 without any effective Pm genes was the susceptible control. Proteins were extracted from wheat leaves sampled 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h after Bgt inoculation, separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis, and stained with Coomassie brilliant blue G-250. The results showed that different proteins were upregulated and downregulated in three wheat cultivars at different time points. For the wheat cultivar L699, a total of 62 proteins were upregulated and 71 proteins were downregulated after Bgt inoculation. Among these, 46 upregulated proteins were identified by mass spectrometry analysis using the NCBI nr database of Triticum. The identified proteins were predicted to be associated with the defense response, photosynthesis, signal transduction, carbohydrate metabolism, energy pathway, protein turnover, and cell structure functions. It is inferred that the proteins are not only involved in defense response, but also other physiological and cellular processes to confer wheat resistance against Bgt. Therefore, the resistance products potentially mediate the immune response and coordinate other physiological and cellular processes during the resistance response to Bgt. The lipoxygenase, glucan exohydrolase, glucose adenylyltransferasesmall, phosphoribulokinase, and phosphoglucomutase are first reported to be involved in the interactions of wheat-Bgt at early stage. The further study of these proteins will deepen our understanding of their detailed functions and potentially develop more efficient disease control strategies.

Abstract
The gene Pm61 that confers powdery mildew resistance has been previously identified on chromosome arm 4AL in Chinese wheat landrace Xuxusanyuehuang (XXSYH). To facilitate the use of Pm61 in breeding practices, the bulked segregant analysis-RNA-Seq (BSR-Seq) analysis, in combination with the information on the Chinese Spring reference genome sequence, was performed in the F2:3 mapping population of XXSYH × Zhongzuo 9504. Two single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), two Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP), and six simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, together with previously identified polymorphic markers, saturated the genetic linkage map for Pm61, especially in the proximal side of the target gene that was short of gene-linked markers. In the newly established genetic linkage map, Pm61 was located in a 0.71 cM genetic interval and can be detected in a high throughput scale by the KASP markers Xicsk8 and Xicsk13 or by the standard PCR-based markers Xicscx497 and Xicsx538. The newly saturated genetic linkage map will be useful in molecular marker assisted-selection of Pm61 in breeding for disease resistant cultivar and in its map-based cloning.

Abstract
A new recessive powdery mildew resistance gene, Pm223899, was identified in Afghanistan wheat landrace PI 223899 and mapped to an interval of about 831 Kb in the terminal region of the short arm of chromosome 1A. Wheat powdery mildew, a globally important disease caused by the biotrophic fungus Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici (Bgt), has occurred with increased frequency and severity in recent years, and some widely deployed resistance genes have lost effectiveness. PI 223899 is an Afghanistan landrace exhibiting high resistance to Bgt isolates collected from the Great Plains. An F2 population and F2:3 lines derived from a cross between PI 223899 and OK1059060-126135-3 were evaluated for response to Bgt isolate OKS(14)-B-3-1, and the bulked segregant analysis (BSA) approach was used to map the powdery mildew resistance gene. Genetic analysis indicated that a recessive gene, designated Pm223899, conferred powdery mildew resistance in PI 223899. Linkage analysis placed Pm223899 to an interval of about 831 Kb in the terminal region of chromosome 1AS, spanning 4,504,697-5,336,062 bp of the Chinese Spring reference sequence. Eight genes were predicted in this genomic region, including TraesCS1AG008300 encoding a putative disease resistance protein RGA4. Pm223899 was flanked proximally by a SSR marker STARS333 (1.4 cM) and distally by the Pm3 locus (0.3 cM). One F2 recombinant was identified between Pm3 and Pm223899 using a Pm3b-specific marker, indicating that Pm223899 is most likely a new gene, rather than an allele of the Pm3 locus. Pm223389 confers a high level of resistance to Bgt isolates collected from Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Montana. Therefore, Pm223389 can be used to enhance powdery mildew resistance in these states. Pm3b-1 and STARS333 have the potential to tag Pm223389 in wheat breeding.

Abstract
Fine mapping of wheat powdery mildew-resistance gene Pm4e to a 0.19 cM interval with sequence-based markers provides the foundation for map-based cloning and marker-assisted selection with breeder-friendly markers. Powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici is a wheat foliar disease that poses a serious threat to global wheat production. Pm4 is a resistance gene locus that has played a key role in controlling this disease in wheat production and a few resistance alleles of this locus have been identified. We have previously mapped the Pm4e allele to a 6.7 cM interval on chromosome 2AL. In this study, Pm4e was delimited to a 0.19 cM interval flanked by Xwgrc763 and Xwgrc865, through employment of a larger segregating population, derived from the cross of resistant parent D29 with susceptible parent Yangmai 158 (Y158), and enrichment of the genetic interval with markers developed on Chinese Spring (C.S.) survey sequence. In this interval, Pm4e co-segregated with a few markers, some of which were either D29-dominant or Y158-dominant, implying great sequence variation in the interval between D29 and Y158. Most of these co-segregation markers could not differentiate the Pm4 alleles from each other. Survey of 55 wheat cultivars with four co-dominant markers showed that the Pm4e-co-segregating loci always co-exist. Annotation of the Pm4e interval-corresponding C.S. sequence revealed more than a dozen resistance gene analogs clustered in a 2.4 Mb region, although C.S. is susceptible to the Pm4e-avirulent isolate Bgt2. This study has established the foundation for map-based cloning of Pm4e. Moreover, some of the co-dominant markers developed in this study could help in marker-assisted transfer of Pm4e into elite cultivars.
