Alleles on locus chromosome 4B from different parents confer tiller number and the yield-associated traits in wheat.

Pleiotropy is frequently detected in agronomic traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum). A locus on chromosome 4B, QTn/Ptn/Sl/Sns/Al/Tgw/Gl/Gw.caas-4B, proved to show pleiotropic effects on tiller, spike, and grain traits using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of Qingxinmai × 041133.

Genetic characterization of hull color using BSR-Seq and genome re-sequencing approaches in foxtail millet.

Hull color of foxtail millet is an important indicator of certain nutritional quality parameters. An F recombinant inbred line (RIL) population developed by crossing a yellow-hulled cultivar Yugu 5 and a brown-hulled cultivar Jigu 31 was used to determine the genetic control of the hull color trait. This population segregated for yellow and brown hull colors in a ratio of 2:1, indicating that hull color is regulated by multiple genetic loci.

Virulence Variability and Genetic Diversity in f. sp. in Southeastern and Southwestern China.

Powdery mildew is a key airborne foliar disease of barley in southeastern and southwestern China. Barley varieties usually partially or wholly lose resistance to the pathogen (DC.) f.

Identification and molecular mapping of YrBm for adult plan resistance to stripe rust in Chinese wheat landrace Baimangmai.

A new adult plan resistance gene YrBm for potentially durable resistance to stripe rust was mapped on wheat chromosome arm 4BL in landrace Baimangmai. SSR markers closely flanking YrBm were developed and validated for use in marker-assisted selection. The wheat stripe rust pathogen Puccinia striiformis f.

The Gene Has No Negative Effect on Wheat Agronomic Performance: Evidence From Newly Established Near-Isogenic Lines.

Wheat genotypes resistant to powdery mildew ( f. sp. , ) provide a sustainable means for disease control.

Association of the Recessive Allele With Winter Frost Tolerance in Bread Wheat.

Winter frost has been considered the primary limiting factor in wheat production. Shimai 12 is an elite wheat cultivar grown in central and southern Hebei province of China, but sensitive to winter frost. In this study, the winter frost tolerant cultivar Lunxuan 103 was bred by introducing the recessive allele from winter wheat Shijiazhuang 8 (frost tolerance) into Shimai 12 using marker-assisted selection (MAS).

Identification of a Allele as a Powdery Mildew Resistance Gene in Wheat Line Xiaomaomai.

Powdery mildew, caused by f. sp. (), is one of the most destructive foliar diseases of wheat.

Molecular Characterization of All-Stage and Adult-Plant Resistance Loci Against Powdery Mildew in Winter Wheat Cultivar Liangxing 99 Using BSR-Seq Technology.

Winter wheat cultivar Liangxing 99, which carries gene , is resistant to powdery mildew at both seedling and adult-plant stages. An F recombinant inbred line population from cross Liangxing 99 × Zhongzuo 9504 was phenotyped with f. sp.

Molecular mapping and identification of a candidate gene for new locus Hg2 conferring hairy glume in wheat.

Glume hairiness or pubescence that occurs in hexaploid common wheat and its relatives at different ploidy levels is a distinct morphological marker. Current knowledge about the genetic control of wheat glume hairiness is based on study of Hg1 (formerly Hg) on chromosome 1AS. Here, we report characterization of a new locus for hairy glume Hg2 in synthetic hexaploid wheat line CIGM86.

Powdery mildew, which is caused by f. sp. (), is a disease of wheat worldwide.

Identification of a Recessive Gene Conferring Resistance to Powdery Mildew in Wheat Landrace Qingxinmai Using BSR-Seq Analysis.

Wheat powdery mildew is caused by f. sp. (), a biotrophic fungal species.

Resistance to and in Winter Wheat is Conferred by Different QTL.

The coexistence of cereal cyst nematode (CCN) species and , often involving multiple pathotypes, is a limiting factor for wheat production in China. Some of the known genes for resistance to CCN are not effective against both nematode species, hence complicating breeding efforts to develop CCN-resistant wheat cultivars. Here, we demonstrate that the CCN resistance in wheat cultivar Madsen to both spp.

Development of SNP, KASP, and SSR Markers by BSR-Seq Technology for Saturation of Genetic Linkage Map and Efficient Detection of Wheat Powdery Mildew Resistance Gene .

The gene that confers powdery mildew resistance has been previously identified on chromosome arm 4AL in Chinese wheat landrace Xuxusanyuehuang (XXSYH). To facilitate the use of 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 F 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 , especially in the proximal side of the target gene that was short of gene-linked markers.

Fine mapping of the wheat powdery mildew resistance gene Pm52 using comparative genomics analysis and the Chinese Spring reference genomic sequence.

A high-resolution genetic linkage map was constructed using the comparative genomics analysis approach and the wheat reference genome, which placed wheat powdery mildew resistance gene Pm52 in a 0.21-cM genetic interval on chromosome arm 2BL. The gene Pm52 confers resistance to powdery mildew and has been previously mapped on chromosome arm 2BL in winter wheat cultivar Liangxing 99.
