Abstract
To better understand how the pathogenicity of the oat crown rust pathogen Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae (Pca) has changed in the United States, 30 years of United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) survey isolates (n = 5,456) tested on 30 to 40 differential lines were analyzed for overall and Pc-resistance-gene-specific virulence trends and correlations. Pca is incredibly pathologically diverse, with 88% of races represented by a single isolate. There are a slightly higher proportion of unique races from the Northern region of the United States, and for one fourth of the years, Northern region isolates were significantly more virulent than Southern isolates, which supports the idea that sexual recombination in this region is mediated by the alternate host as a major factor in creating new races. However, there is also support for regular isolate movement between North and South regions as isolates in the United States are steadily accumulating virulences at a rate of 0.35 virulences per year. Virulence significantly increased for 23 and decreased for four of the 40 differential lines. In the past few years, virulence has reached 90% or greater for 16 differential lines. There were also strong correlations in virulence for certain Pc genes that are likely identical, allelic, or target the same or closely linked pathogen effectors (e.g., Pc39, Pc55, and Pc71), and the results were largely in concordance with recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) effector studies using USDA isolate subsets. Understanding changes in Pca pathogenicity is essential for the responsible deployment and management of Pc resistance genes for sustainable and profitable oat production.

Abstract
Oats is a cereal well known for its high nutritional value and unique flavor. This study investigated the metabolomics data from oats, wheat, and barley using broadly targeted GC-MS metabonomic techniques. A total of 437 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified, of which 414 were shared metabolites, with three metabolites unique to oats. Three hundred and seven differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were screened from all the comparison groups, of which 27 metabolites were shared by oats and barley, and 121 shared by oats and wheat. Terpenoids and esters were the key metabolites determining the differences in flavor. A KEGG analysis indicated that the alpha-linolenic acid and phenylalanine pathways were the most significant metabolic pathways. The 42 DAMs found may be the main substances leading to the flavor differences between the different varieties. Overall, this study reveals the main reasons for the unique flavor of oats through metabolomic evidence.

Abstract
Six quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for adult plant resistance against oat crown rust (Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae) were identified from mapping three recombinant inbred populations. Using genotyping-by-sequencing with markers called against the OT3098 v1 reference genome, the QTLs were mapped on six different chromosomes: Chr1D, Chr4D, Chr5A, Chr5D, Chr7A, and Chr7C. Composite interval mapping with marker cofactor selection showed that the phenotypic variance explained by all identified QTLs for coefficient of infection range from 12.2 to 46.9%, whereas heritability estimates ranged from 0.11 to 0.38. The significant regions were narrowed down to intervals of 3.9 to 25 cM, equivalent to physical distances of 11 to 133 Mb. At least two flanking single-nucleotide polymorphism markers were identified within 10 cM of each QTL that could be used in marker-assisted introgression, pyramiding, and selection. The additive effects of the QTLs in each population were determined using single-nucleotide polymorphism haplotype data, which showed a significantly lower coefficient of infection in lines homozygous for the resistant alleles. Analysis of pairwise linkage disequilibrium also revealed high correlation of markers and presence of linkage blocks in the significant regions. To further facilitate marker-assisted breeding, polymerase chain reaction allelic competitive extension (PACE) markers for the adult plant resistance loci were developed. Putative candidate genes were also identified in each of the significant regions, which include resistance gene analogs that encode for kinases, ligases, and predicted receptors of avirulence proteins from pathogens.

Archetypes of inflorescence: genome-wide association networks of panicle morphometric, growth, and disease variables in a multiparent oat population. Genetics 2022; 223:6700642. [PMID: 36106985 PMCID: PMC9910404 DOI: 10.1093/genetics/iyac128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
There is limited information regarding the morphometric relationships of panicle traits in oat (Avena sativa) and their contribution to phenology and growth, physiology, and pathology traits important for yield. To model panicle growth and development and identify genomic regions associated with corresponding traits, 10 diverse spring oat mapping populations (n = 2,993) were evaluated in the field and 9 genotyped via genotyping-by-sequencing. Representative panicles from all progeny individuals, parents, and check lines were scanned, and images were analyzed using manual and automated techniques, resulting in over 60 unique panicle, rachis, and spikelet variables. Spatial modeling and days to heading were used to account for environmental and phenological variances, respectively. Panicle variables were intercorrelated, providing reproducible archetypal and growth models. Notably, adult plant resistance for oat crown rust was most prominent for taller, stiff stalked plants having a more open panicle structure. Within and among family variance for panicle traits reflected the moderate-to-high heritability and mutual genome-wide associations (hotspots) with numerous high-effect loci. Candidate genes and potential breeding applications are discussed. This work adds to the growing genetic resources for oat and provides a unique perspective on the genetic basis of panicle architecture in cereal crops.
