小偃9323是小偃6号的同源材料,具有早熟、抗逆性强、适应性广、抗条锈性强等许多优良的生物学特性。为明确其抗条锈性及遗传规律,利用当前流行的中国条锈菌小种CYR32对抗病品种小偃9323与感病品种铭贤169及其杂交后代F₁、F₂、F₃和BC₁代进行苗期抗条锈性遗传分析,并对其抗条锈基因进行SSR分子标记。结果表明,小偃9323对CYR32小种具有良好的抗性,由1对隐性基因所控制。利用F₂代分离群体,筛选到6个与抗病基因连锁的SSR标记,分别是Xwmc807、Xbarc3、Xwmc684、Xwmc201、Xwmc553和Xwmc179;该抗病基因位于小麦6AL染色体上,其最近的标记为Xwmc201和Xwmc553,遗传距离分别是2.6 cM和3.7 cM。分析表明,该基因不同于已知抗条锈基因,暂被命名为YrXY9323。用YrXY9323两侧遗传距离最近的标记Xwmc201和Xwmc553对42个黄淮麦区主栽小麦品种进行分子检测,结果表明有19%的品种具有与YrXY9323相同的标记位点。本结果对YrXY9323在小麦抗条锈病育种中的应用提供了理论依据。     

利用BSR-Seq定位小麦品种郑麦103抗条锈病基因YrZM103

郑麦103是一个高抗条锈病的小麦新品种,为明确其携带的抗病基因,用郑麦103与感条锈病品种农大399杂交构建分离群体,用条锈菌CYR32、CYR33和CRY34(V26)混合菌系进行田间接种和成株期抗性鉴定,对214个F2:3家系的条锈病抗性进行遗传分析,初步确定郑麦103的抗条锈性由单个主效基因控制,定名为Yr ZM103。通过BSR-Seq技术开发了6个与Yr ZM103紧密连锁的分子标记,将Yr ZM103定位于染色体臂7BL分子标记ZM215和ZM221之间,遗传距离分别为11.8 c M和6.9 c M。利用7BL染色体上与其他已知抗条锈病基因紧密连锁的分子标记进行比较作图,发现Yr ZM103是不同于7BL末端其他抗条锈病基因的新基因。     

Quantitative trait loci for temperature-sensitive resistance to <Emphasis Type="Italic">Puccinia striiformis</Emphasis> f. sp. <Emphasis Type="Italic">tritici</Emphasis> in wheat cultivar Flinor

Stripe (yellow) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici Eriks. (Pst), is an important disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) globally. Use of host resistance is an important strategy to manage the disease. The cultivar Flinor has temperature-sensitive resistance to stripe rust. To map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for these temperature-sensitive resistances, Flinor was crossed with susceptible cultivar Ming Xian 169. The seedlings of the parents, and F₁, F₃ progeny were screened against Chinese yellow rust race CYR32 in controlled-temperature growth chambers under different temperature regimes. Genetic analysis confirmed two genes for temperature-sensitive stripe rust resistance. A linkage map of SSR markers was constructed using 130 F₃ families derived from the cross. Two temperature-sensitive resistance QTLs were detected on chromosome 5B, designated QYr-tem-5B.1 and QYr-tem-5B.2, respectively, and are separated by a genetic distance of over 50 cM. The loci contributed 33.12 and 37.33% of the total phenotypic variation for infection type, respectively, and up to 70.45% collectively. Favorable alleles of these two QTLs came from Flinor. These two QTLs are temperature-sensitive resistance loci and different from previously reported QTLs for resistance to stripe rust.     

Rapid identification of a major effect QTL conferring adult plant resistance to stripe rust in wheat cultivar Yaco“S”

Stripe rust is a devastating disease in common wheat (Triticum aestivum) worldwide. Growing cultivars with adult-plant resistance (APR) is an environmental friendly approach that provides long-term protection to wheat from this disease. Wheat cultivar Yaco“S” showed a high level of APR to stripe rust in the field from 2008 to 2014. The objective of this study was to detect the major quantitative trait loci (QTL) for APR to stripe rust in Yaco“S”. One hundred and eighty-four F_2:3 lines were developed from a cross between Yaco“S” and susceptible cultivar Mingxian169. Illumina 90K and 660K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chips were implemented to bulked pools and their parents to identify SNPs associated with the major QTL. A high-density linkage map was constructed using simple sequence repeat (SSR) and SNP markers. Inclusive composite interval mapping detected a major effect QTL Qyryac.nwafu-2BS conferring stable resistance to stripe rust in all tested environments. Qyryac.nwafu-2BS were mapped to a 1.3 cm interval and explained 17.3–51.9% of the phenotypic variation. Compared with stripe rust resistance genes previously mapped to chromosome 2B, Qyryac.nwafu-2BS is likely a new APR gene to stripe rust. Combining SNP iSelect assay and kompetitive allele specific PCR technology, we found that the APR gene could be rapidly and accurately mapped and it is useful for improving stripe rust resistance in wheat breeding.     

小麦品种中梁22抗条锈病基因的遗传分析和分子作图

对中梁22/铭贤169杂交F₂群体苗期抗条锈病鉴定及中国春单体系抗病基因的染色体定位发现, 中梁22携带1个显性(暂命名YrZhong22)和1个隐性抗病基因, 前者位于5B染色体。由中梁22´铭贤169的F₂群体构建抗病、感病池, 用SSR标记结合集群分离分析法(BSA), 建立了与YrZhong22连锁的4个微卫星标记Xwmc289、Xwmc810、Xgdm116和Xbarc232, 并将YrZhong22定位于小麦5BL染色体。YrZhong22与相邻微卫星位点Xwmc810和Xgdm116的遗传距离分别是2.7 cM和4.4 cM。系谱分析及分子标记分析表明, YrZhong22可能是一个来自中间偃麦草的新抗条锈病基因。     

Identification and molecular tagging of a stripe rust resistance gene in wheat line P81

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (PST), is one of the most devastating diseases in common wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.). With the objective of identifying and tagging a new gene for resistance to stripe rust in wheat line P81, F₁, F₂ and F_2:3 populations from the cross 'Chuanmai 28'/P81 were inoculated with Chinese PST race CYR32 in greenhouse and field trials. P81 carried a single dominant gene for resistance (designated YrP81 ) to CYR32. Tests of allelism showed that YrP81 was different from Yr5 , Yr10 , Yr15 and Yr26 . Simple sequence repeat (SSR) and resistance gene-analogue polymorphism (RGAP) between the parents were used for genotyping the F₂ populations. YrP81 was closely linked to four SSR loci on chromosome 2BS with genetic distances of 18.3 cM ( Xwmc25 ), 1.8 cM ( Xgwm429 ), 4.1 cM ( Xwmc770 ) and 5.3 cM ( Xgwm148 ). Two RGAP markers RGA1 (NLRR/XLRR) and RGA2 (Pto kin4/NLRR-INV2) were also closely linked to YrP81 with genetic distances of 4.7 and 6.3 cM, respectively. The linkage map of YrP81 and molecular markers was established in the order Xwmc25 - RGA2 - RGA1 - Xgwm429 - YrP81 - Xwmc770 - Xgwm148 . Pedigree analysis, response patterns with Chinese PST races and associations with markers suggested that YrP81 is a novel stripe rust resistance gene. The PCR-based microsatellite and RGAP markers identified here could be applied in selection of YrP81 in wheat breeding.     

陕麦139抗条锈病基因遗传分析

利用常规遗传和单缺体遗传分析方法,研究了小麦抗条锈病新种质陕麦139中抗病基因的遗传方式。结果表明,陕麦139×辉县红和陕麦139×阿勃两组合F₁植株对条中32表现近免疫。F₂群体对条中32抗性调查表明, 陕麦139×阿勃组合和陕麦139×辉县红组合的抗感比例分别为203∶16和210∶13,经卡方检验, 抗感分离比符合15∶1 (χ²值分别为0.26和0.02, χ²_0.05,1 = 3.84), 说明陕麦139所含抗性基因对条中32的抗性受2对独立遗传显性位点控制。21个单缺体组合的F₂群体苗期室内接种条中32的抗性分离调查结果表明,阿勃1BN´陕麦139组合抗感分离比例为75∶0 (χ²=4.65,χ²_0.05,1 = 3.84),阿勃2DN´陕麦139组合抗感分离比例为132∶2 (χ²=4.40,χ²_0.05,1 = 3.84),远远偏离15∶1,其余19个组合的抗感分离比例经卡方测验均符合15∶1。表明该抗条锈病基因位于1B和2D染色体,暂被分别命名为YrSM139-1B和YrSM139-2D。利用284对SSR引物检测F₂群体的抗感池和单株,发现YrSM139-1B与SSR标记Xgwm273紧密连锁,即该标记可作为YrSM139-1B抗条锈病基因的标记。利用Xgwm273对陕麦139的亲本分析表明, YrSM139-1B抗条锈病基因来自野生二粒小麦AS846。     

SSR and STS markers for wheat stripe rust resistance gene <Emphasis Type="Italic">Yr26</Emphasis>

Stripe (yellow) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most devastating wheat diseases worldwide. Triticum aestivum-Haynaldia villosa 6VS/6AL translocation lines carrying the Yr26 gene on chromosome 1B, are resistant to most races of Pst used in virulence tests. In order to better utilize Yr26 for wheat improvement, we attempted to screen SSR and EST-based STS markers closely linked with Yr26. A total of 500 F₂ plants and the F_2:3 progenies derived from a cross between 92R137 and susceptible cultivar Yangmai 5 were inoculated with race CYR32. The analysis confirmed that stripe rust resistance was controlled by a single dominant gene, Yr26. Among 35 pairs of genomic SSR markers and 81 pairs of STS markers derived from EST sequences located on chromosome 1B, Yr26 was flanked by 5 SSR and 7 STS markers. The markers were mapped in deletion bins using CS aneuploid and deletion lines. The closest flanking marker loci, Xwe173 and Xbarc181, mapped in 1BL and the genetic distances from Yr26 were 1.4 cM and 6.7 cM, respectively. Some of these markers were previously reported on 1BS. Eight common wheat cultivars and lines developed from the T. aestivum-H. villosa 6VS/6AL translocation lines by different research groups were tested for presence of the markers. Five lines with Yr26 carried the flanking markers whereas three lines without Yr26 did not. The results indicated that the flanking markers should be useful in marker-assisted selection for incorporating Yr26 into wheat cultivars.     

小麦抗条锈病基因YrZH84的RGAP标记及其应用

利用RGAP标记及基于标记基因型和表型选择的分离群体分组分析法,对小麦抗条锈病骨干亲本周8425B和感病品种中国春及其F₂分离群体进行分析,获得了与抗条锈基因YrZH84紧密连锁的RGAP标记Xrga-1,连锁距离为0.8 cM。其RGA片段长度为343 bp,BLAST分析结果表明,该RGA序列与已克隆的大麦抗秆锈病基因Rpg1核苷酸序列同源性为93%,与大麦抗白粉病基因Mla家族的核苷酸序列同源性为92%。用标记Xrga-1对黄淮麦区58个小麦品种(系)进行了检测,结合系谱分析和抗病性鉴定结果,发现周8425B的衍生品种周麦11、周麦17、周麦20、周麦22、矮抗58、04中36、源育3号、05中37、宛抗18、豫展10号携带抗条锈病基因YrZH84。这些研究结果对小麦抗条锈病分子育种和YrZH84基因克隆有重要作用。     

Development and validation of molecular markers closely linked to the wheat stripe rust resistance gene YrC591 for marker-assisted selection

Stripe rust resistance gene YrC591, present in wheat cultivar C591, is effective against currently important Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici isolates in China. An F_2:3 population (127 lines) was developed by crossing C591 with susceptible cultivar Taichung 29. Thirty four simple sequence repeat (SSR) and 155 sequence tagged site (STS) markers located on chromosome 7BL were used to perform bulk segregant analysis. Eight SSR markers, cfa2040, wmc273, wmc166, gwm984, barc32 wmc276, barc182 and gwm146, and 6 STS markers, mag1714, mag1757, mag1811, BE425120, BE471173 and BG607810, were polymorphic between the parents and contrasting resistant and susceptible DNA pools. F_2:3 lines were genotyped with these polymorphic markers. Linkage analysis indicated that YrC591 was flanked by Xmag1714 and Xbarc182 with genetic distances of 1.2 and 0.4 cM, respectively. In addition, validation of the SSR markers cfa2040, wmc273 and barc32, and STS markers mag1714 and BE425120 was carried out using wheat lines with C591 as a parent, indicating that these markers should be effective in tracing this gene in marker-assisted selection.     

Identification and molecular mapping of a leaf rust resistance gene in spelt wheat landrace Altgold

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is an important disease for wheat production, both in China and worldwide. In laboratory studies spelt wheat (Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta) landrace Altgold was resistant to P. triticina races THT and PHT and genetic analysis indicated that it possessed a dominant leaf rust resistance gene, temporarily designated LrAlt. F₆ recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross with the susceptible common wheat cultivar Nongda 3338 were used to map LrAlt with SSR markers. The resistance gene was distal to SSR loci Xbarc212, Xwmc382, Xgwm636, and Xwmc407 on the short arm of chromosome 2A. The closest markers Xbarc212 and Xwmc382 which co-segregated were 1.8 cM away from LrAlt. The relationships of LrAlt and other wheat leaf rust resistance genes located on the short arm of chromosome 2A were discussed, suggesting that LrAlt might be a new leaf rust resistance gene.     

Molecular tagging of a stripe rust resistance gene in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Aegilops tauschii</Emphasis>

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (PST), is one of the most important diseases of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). China has the largest stripe rust epidemic areas in the world and yield losses can be large. Aegilops tauschii Coss, the D-genome progenitor of common wheat, includes two subspecies, tauschii and strangulata (Eig) Tzvel. The ssp. strangulata accession AS2388 is highly resistant to the prevailing physiological races of PST in China, and possesses a single dominant gene for stripe rust resistance. In order to tag this gene, AS2388 was crossed with the highly susceptible ssp. tauschii accession AS87. The parents, F₂ plants, and F_2:3 families were tested at adult plant stage in field trials with six currently prevailing races. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to identify molecular markers linked to the resistance gene. SSR markers Xwmc285 and Xwmc617 were linked to the resistance gene on chromosome arm 4DS flanking it at 1.7 and 34.6 cM, respectively. Based on the chromosomal location, this gene temporarily designated as YrAS2388 is probably novel. The resistance in Ae. tauschii AS2388 was partially expressed in two newly developed synthetic hexaploid backgrounds.     

Molecular mapping re-locates the Stb2 gene for resistance to Septoria tritici blotch derived from cultivar Veranopolis on wheat chromosome 1BS

Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is one of the most destructive foliar diseases in many of the wheat (Triticum aestivum) growing regions of the world. Gene Stb2, derived from cultivar ‘Veranopolis’, provides effective resistance against STB. In our attempts to refine the map location of this resistance gene we could not confirm a previous report that Stb2 is on wheat chromosome 3BS. Instead, based on characterization of the same doubled-haploid population used for the original mapping derived from a cross between Veranopolis and susceptible line RAC875-2, and linkage analysis of the resistance phenotype to previously mapped SSR loci, we report that Stb2 is located on the short arm of wheat chromosome 1B, flanked by microsatellite loci Xwmc406 and Xbarc008 (with Xwmc230 closely located) at map distances of 6 and 5 cM, respectively. Presence of the markers on chromosome arm 1BS was confirmed by analysis of nullisomic-tetrasomic lines. These three co-dominant markers can be used in wheat breeding programs to facilitate combining Stb2 with genes of interest. Other STB resistance genes, including Stb11, have been reported on wheat chromosome arm 1BS, with locus Xbarc008 as a diagnostic marker. Whether Stb2, Stb11 and the previously identified Stb11-like genes are the same, allelic, or different but closely linked has not been determined. In addition to STB, numerous genes for resistance to many other fungal pathogens have been reported on wheat chromosome arm 1BS, including those for yellow (or stripe) rust, leaf rust and common bunt. The approximate locations for all of these genes were added onto the Stb2 map based on published distances from common markers to provide a rough guide for future wheat improvement.     

78份四川小麦育成品种(系)条锈病抗性鉴定与抗条锈病基因分子检测

四川省是小麦条锈菌新小种产生的重要地区之一,了解2016年以来四川小麦育成品种(系)对当前流行的条锈菌生理小种和致病类型的抗性水平以及明确其抗条锈病基因的分布状况,可为四川育种防控小麦抗条锈病和品种布局提供理论依据。本研究选择2个小种CYR32和CYR34对78份四川小麦育成品种(系)进行苗期鉴定,利用当前小麦条锈菌优势小种CYR32、CYR33、CYR34,以及贵22-14、贵农致病类群等混合菌进行成株期人工接种鉴定,并利用19个抗条锈病QTL和基因QYr.nwafu-4BL、Yr5、Yr10、Yr15、Yr17、Yr18、Yr26、Yr28、Yr29、Yr30、Yr36、Yr39、Yr41、Yr48、Yr65、Yr67、Yr78、Yr80和Yr81的分子标记对供试材料进行抗条锈病基因检测。结果表明,在78份供试材料的苗期鉴定中,对CYR32表现出抗性的有60份,占76.92%;对CYR34表现出抗性的有40份,占51.28%;同时对CYR32和CYR34表现抗性的有36份,占46.15%。78份小麦品种(系)在成株期均表现抗条锈病,其中绵麦835、蜀麦1743、蜀麦1829和蜀麦1...     

DNA marker-assisted selection to pyramid rust resistance genes in “carioca” seeded common bean lines

This work reports a gene pyramiding approach assisted by DNA markers used to develop “carioca” seeded common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) elite lines harboring three different rust resistance genes. Rust is among the most destructive diseases that attack P. vulgaris and cause serious damage worldwide. The rust resistance genes Ur-5 (from ‘Mexico 309’), Ur-11 (from ‘BelMiDak RR-3’), and Ur-14 (from ‘BRS Pioneiro’, a “carioca” seeded cultivar derived from the resistance source ‘Ouro Negro’) were combined in the “carioca” seeded bean cultivar ‘Rudá’. Firstly, two different backcross programs were conducted separately to produce progenies harboring individually the Ur-5 and Ur-11 genes. Molecular fingerprinting analysis was used to select plants genetically similar to ‘Rudá’ in the backcross cycles to accelerate the recurrent-background recovery. The obtained progenies were initially intercrossed and then crossed with ‘BRSMG Pioneiro’ (Ur-14). The final F₁ plants derived from these crosses were screened with DNA markers linked to the three rust resistance genes: SI19 (Ur-5), SAE19 (Ur-11) and OPX11 (Ur-14). The plants selected as harboring all the alleles of interest were used to obtain the next generations. The selection based on DNA markers was conducted up to the F_4:5 generation. We were able to select F_4:7 progenies showing all the DNA markers associated to the genes of interest and resistant to all specific races of U. appendiculatus used for phenotypically detecting each one of the rust resistance genes. Yield evaluations show that these selected lines are as productive as the recurrent parent ‘Rudá’ and high-performing control cultivars grown in Brazil.     

源于叙利亚小麦ICA31抗条锈病基因分析及分子标记研究

遗传分析表明,小麦材料ICA31携带一个显性抗条锈病基因,对流行的优势条锈菌小种条中30,31,32免疫;据等位性测定,ICA31抗条锈基因与已知抗锈基因Yr5、Yr10、Yr15不等位;从抗源的系谱分析,该基因来源于叙利亚普通小麦品系叙18;利用微卫星标记和分组分析(BSA)法,筛选到与该抗条锈病基因（Yr-Syria）紧密连锁的SSR标记WMS11-193;对F2分离群体142个单株分析结果表明,该抗条锈病基因（Yr-Syria）与WMS11-193间遗传距离为2.1cM;将Yr-Syria定位于小麦1BS上;为该基因进行抗条锈小麦分子辅助育种打下基础。     

Genetics of leaf rust resistance in three Americano landrace-derived wheat cultivars from Uruguay

A genetic analysis of the landrace‐derived wheat accessions Americano 25e, Americano 26n, and Americano 44d, from Uruguay was conducted to identify the leaf rust resistance genes present in these early wheat cultivars. The three cultivars were crossed with the leaf rust susceptible cultivar ‘Thatcher’ and approximately 80 backcross (BC1) F₂ families were derived for each cross. The BC1F₂ families and selected BC1F₄ lines were tested for seedling and adult plant leaf rust resistance with selected isolates of leaf rust, Puccinia triticina. The segregation and infection type data indicated that Americano 25e had seedling resistance genes Lr3, Lr16, an additional unidentified seedling gene, and one adult plant resistance gene that was neither Lr12 nor Lr13, and did not phenotypically resemble Lr34. Americano 26n was postulated to have genes Lr11, Lr12, Lr13, and Lr14a. Americano 44d appeared to have two possibly unique adult plant leaf rust resistance genes.     

小麦突变体D51抗秆锈性遗传分析及其抗性基因SSR标记

D51是优良品系龙6239经辐射诱变和组织培养相结合获得的高产优质抗秆锈突变体材料,对我国优势秆锈病21C3CPH、21C3CKH和21C3CTR小种均表现免疫。利用来自D51/龙6239、D51/中国春的2个F₂群体和来自D51/龙6239的1个F₂群体分别在苗期和成株期进行21C3CPH小种接种,抗病反应型鉴定表明,3个F₂群体中抗感分离比例均为3∶1,说明D51抗秆锈性受一对显性基因控制,全生育期表达,部分D51/龙6239 F₂植株的F₃株系的抗病鉴定进一步验证F₂鉴定的可靠性。利用675对小麦SSR引物和185株D51/龙6239 F₂分离群体对SrD51基因进行标记定位,将SrD51定位在5D染色体的短臂上。其中SSR标记Xgwm190和Xwmc150与SrD51基因的遗传距离分别为18.58和21.33 cM,并分别位于目的基因的两侧。由于已知的秆锈抗性基因仅有Sr30被定位在小麦5DL上,且Sr30不抗34C2MKK和34C2MFK,而突变体D51的原亲本龙6239不抗21C3CPH、21C3CKH和21C3CTR,却对34C2MKK和34C2MFK表现免疫抗性。因而推断此突变体的秆锈抗性基因可能是一个新基因,暂命名为SrD51。     

Genetics of adult plant stripe rust resistance in four Australian wheats and the French cultivar 'Hybride-de-Bersée'

Long-term resistance to rust diseases depends on the identification and use of durable resistance sources or on the continuing use of new resistances and combinations of genes for specific resistance. These studies include four Australian wheats with intermediate, but inadequate levels of resistance and a French wheat ‘Hybride-de-Bersée’ (‘Bersee’), with reputed durable resistance to stripe rust. Studies of F₂ and F₃ populations from crosses with the susceptible ‘Avocet’ indicated that intermediate levels of adult plant stripe rust resistance in cultivars ‘Harrier’, ‘Flinders’ and ‘M2435’ were inherited monogenically, whereas King possessed two genes for resistance. Cultivars Harrier and M2435 possessed the same gene. Similarly, cvs. King and Flinders carried a gene in common. Like ‘Harrier’ and ‘M2435’, ‘King’ and ‘Flinders’ share common parents. The higher level of resistance in ‘Bersee’ was controlled by four genes. This conclusion was based on conventional genetic analysis, tests on F₂-derived F₇ single-seed descent lines and testcross progenies.     

Development of a PCR assay and marker-assisted transfer of leaf rust resistance gene <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lr58</Emphasis> into adapted winter wheats

Leaf rust resistance gene Lr58 derived from Aegilops triuncialis L. was transferred to the hard red winter wheat (HRWW) cultivars Jagger and Overley by standard backcrossing and marker-assisted selection (MAS). A co-dominant PCR-based sequence tagged site (STS) marker was developed based on the sequence information of the RFLP marker (XksuH16) diagnostically detecting the alien segment in T2BS·2BL-2^tL(0.95). STS marker Xncw-Lr58-1 was used to select backcross F₁ plants with rust resistance. The co-dominant marker polymorphism detected by primer pair NCW-Lr58-1 efficiently identified the homozygous BC₃F₂ plants with rust resistance gene Lr58. The STS marker Xncw-Lr58-1 showed consistent diagnostic polymorphism between the resistant source and the wheat cultivars selected by the US Wheat Coordinated Agricultural Project. The utility and compatibility of the STS marker in MAS programs involving robust genotyping platforms was demonstrated in both agarose-based and capillary-based platforms. Screening backcross derivatives carrying Lr58 with various rust races at seedling stage suggested the transferred rust resistance in adapted winter wheats is stable in both cultivar backgrounds. Lr58 in adapted winter wheat backgrounds could be used in combination with other resistance genes in wheat rust resistance breeding.
