Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers to analyze 235 durum wheat accessions, revealing two main genetic groups and significant phenotypic variation related to tan spot resistance over multiple cropping seasons.
- * The genome-wide association study identified 26 SNPs linked to tan spot resistance, with varying degrees of phenotypic variation explained, and several markers coinciding with previously known SNPs for disease resistance.
Durum wheat landraces have huge potential for the identification of genetic factors valuable for improving resistance to biotic stresses. Tunisia is known as a hot spot for Septoria tritici blotch disease (STB), caused by the fungus (). In this context, a collection of 3166 Mediterranean durum wheat landraces were evaluated at the seedling and adult stages for STB resistance in the 2016-2017 cropping season under field conditions in Kodia (Tunisia).
