The range of publicly available data on plant nucleotide sequences opens a new possibility in the design of SNP assays. The purpose of this study was to identify point mutations in genomic sequences closely linked to the Lr1 leaf rust resistance gene, and to develop SNP markers based on primer extension (SNuPE) facilitating efficient marker-based selection procedures, e.g. the pyramiding of resistance genes. Studies were performed on the panel of 37 wheat cultivars, the set of 41 Thatcher near-isogenic lines of spring wheat and on the 21 individuals derived from doubled-haploid (DH) lines derived from 'Henika' (Lr1) x 'IPG-SW-14'. A minisequencing reaction run with Lr1_98F primer detected four genotypes (T, C+T, C and "null") in the set of all Triticum aestivum varieties tested. In this study, it turned out that the T allele is associated with the Lr1 gene in a wide genetic background.

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina (Pt), is a serious constraint to wheat production. Developing resistant varieties is the best approach to managing this disease. Wheat leaf rust resistance (Lr) genes have been classified into either all-stage resistance (ASR) or adult-plant resistance (APR).

Article Synopsis
  • Spring bread wheat is a key crop in Russia and Kazakhstan, heavily impacted by rust pathogens like leaf, stem, and yellow rust.
  • A study tested 40 new wheat genotypes for their resistance to these rusts and identified several with significant resistance, including three that were resistant to all rust types.
  • Molecular analysis revealed both cataloged and uncataloged resistance genes, indicating improved resistance and genetic diversity in the new wheat genotypes due to the introduction of alien genetic material.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • Foliar diseases like late leaf spot (LLS) and leaf rust (LR) negatively impact groundnut yields and fodder quality, while a high oleic acid content is increasingly valued for its health benefits and extended shelf life.
  • Genetic mapping identified key resistance genes (LLSR1, LLSR2, and LR1) against these diseases, leading to the development of 49 KASP markers, with 41 successfully validated for use in breeding programs.
  • The study successfully implemented KASP assays to enhance resistance against LLS and LR in groundnuts, resulting in the release of several disease-resistant and high-oleic acid varieties in India.
