小麦品种扬麦16赤霉病抗扩展QTL定位及分析

扬麦系列品种赤霉病抗性在世界范围内得到重视,但其抗性遗传机制尚不清楚。扬麦16是近年来大面积推广的抗赤霉病品种,本研究以扬麦16与中麦895杂交构建的174个双单倍体(doublehaploidlines,DH)系为材料,于2017—2019年连续3年对该群体采用单花滴注进行赤霉病抗扩展鉴定。利用660KSNP芯片构建高密度遗传图谱,共检测到6个抗性QTL,分别位于2DL、3BL、4BS、4DS、5BL和6AS染色体上。除4BS位点外,其他5个抗性等位基因均来源于扬麦16。QFhb.yaas-4DS和QFhb.yaas-6AS均在多年被检测到,可解释8.8%～15.0%的表型变异;QFhb.yaas-2DL、QFhb.yaas-3BL仅在1年被检测到,分别解释10.5%和14.7%的表型变异;QFhb.yaas-5BL和来源于中麦895的QFhb.yaas-4BS仅在1年被检测到且效应仅为6.4%和8.3%。QTL效应分析结果表明,相较于单个位点,多个抗性QTL的聚合可显著降低赤霉病严重度。扬麦16抗赤霉病QTL将为揭示扬麦品种抗性遗传机制及开发相应分子标记奠定基础。     

Phenotypic selection for high resistance to Fusarium head blight after introgression of quantitative trait loci (QTL) from exotic spring wheat and verification by simple sequence repeat markers a posteriori

Fusarium head blight (FHB) has become an important disease of wheat. We introgressed three resistance quantitative trait loci (QTL) alleles on chromosomes 3B, 5A (from CM82036) and 3A (from ‘Frontana’) into European elite spring wheat and performed phenotypic selection among double‐cross (DC) derived progeny in generations DCF₂ and DCF₃. After recombination and selfing, we analysed 135 phenotypically selected progeny by simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers linked to the QTL. In a second experiment, we forwarded the best 20 progeny for a further two generations by pedigree selection. Progeny were inoculated at two to four locations with Fusarium culmorum and the percentage of infected spikelets per plot was estimated. Both experiments show that phenotypic selection was highly effective. One‐hundred out of 135 phenotypically selected DCF_1:3 progeny had the combination of donor‐QTL alleles (3B + 5A + 3A, 3B + 5A) with the highest effects on FHB resistance. In the subsequent generations, sufficient genotypic variance was detected. The best F_5:7 bulks had similar resistance to the donor CM82036. The FHB rating was reduced in total by 45% points compared to the parental mean. QTL with high effects can be detected solely by phenotypic selection after targeted introgression.     

Rht1(B. dw), an alternative allelic variant for breeding semi-dwarf wheat varieties

The vast majority of the world's acreage of semi-dwarf wheat varieties is at present cultivated with varieties carrying one of two genetically similar dwarfing genes, Rht1 and Rht2, derived from the Japanese variety ‘Norin 10’. Near-isogenic lines have been developed and tested to determine the breeding potential of an allelic variant of Rht1, designated Rht1(B. dw). Following its introduction into four varietal backgrounds, Rht1 (B. dw) was seen to reduce height by around 25%, to increase the number of grains setting in spikelets and ears by around 20%, to reduce grain weight by 10%, and to increase yields of plants grown under spaced or drilled conditions by about 8%. When compared to the commercially utilized Rht1 allele, as near isogenic lines in a ‘Mercia’ varietal background, Rht1 (B. dw) gives a significantly greater reduction in plant height, a greater increase in spikelet and ear fertilities, slightly less reduction in 1000-grain weight, and significantly higher spikelet, ear and plot yields. If these results are repeatable in other varietal backgrounds, over seasons, and under differing environmental conditions, Rht1 (B. dw) should have considerable commercial potential as an alternative allele for producing shorter-than-average, high-yielding, semi-dwarf wheat varieties.     

Chromosomal location of Fusarium head blight resistance genes and analysis of the relationship between resistance to head blight and brown foot rot

In order to identify chromosomes involved in resistance to Fusarium head blight, a set of 21 substitution lines of Triticum macha (resistant) chromosomes into ‘Hobbit’'sib’(susceptible) were evaluated in trials over 2 years. For the first year's trial, all plants were inoculated on the same day with a conidial suspension of F. culmorum. For the second trial, individual plants were inoculated precisely at mid anthesis of each plant over a period of 2 weeks. The disease level was assessed by visual scoring, relative ear weight and F. culmorumn‐specfic quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The results showed that T. macha chromosomes 1B, 4A and 7A conferred good overall resistance, suggesting that they carry important genes for resistance. In two additional trials, T. macha and ‘Hobbit’'sib’ were evaluated for resistance to brown foot rot. The results showed that T. macha was more susceptible than ‘Hobbit’‘sib’, indicating that stem base disease response is not correlated with head blight resistance in these cultivars.     

Selection of Head Blight Resistant Wheats Through Improved Seedling Resistance

In a four years' test (1982—1985) it was shown that there are highly significant differences in resistance to seab and seedling blight in wheat. Using a novel approach, that head blight resistance should be measured on stands free of leaf diseases and with a number of isolates with different pathogenicity in the inoculation tests, the rep-rod Liability of results increased significantly over the levels so far published. The genotype- by-year and the genotype-by-isolate interactions remained low. Beside differences in resistance deviations in tolerance were also detected. The best materials that were selected are near to the better spring wheat resistance sources. A tendency for correlation between seedling and head blight resistance was found and the most resistant genotypes in the seedling stage will, with high probability, yield head blight resistant material. It thus became possible to include seedling resistance into the breeding program for head blight resistance, Further evidence for there being an identical genetic basis for resistance to F. graminearum and F. culmorum is presented.     

Multigenic inheritance of biotype-E greenbug resistance in wheat

Relatively little is known about host-plant insect-resistance genes. Near-isogenic lines (NILs) can be a useful tool in evaluating such genes and their mechanisms of action. Through backcrossing and single-seed selection, NILs have been produced in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for resistance/susceptibility to biotype-E greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani). Crosses among several resistant and susceptible NILs produced segregation patterns in the F₂ generation that were inconsistent with simple monogenic inheritance. The simplest genetic hypothesis consistent with the data would involve two independently segregating loci, requiring complementary expression of multiple resistance alleles. F₃ segregation data were also consistent with the proposed genetic hypothesis. Multiple alleles are required to account for the observed variation, although the source of the multiple alleles is unknown. Direct comparison of specific resistant/susceptible pairs of NIL's, as well as bulked segregant analysis, should permit elucidation of resistance mechanisms. Based on the segregation data presented, new designations for the resistance loci studied are proposed.     

普通小麦籽粒DON含量的配合力分析

为了选育抗赤霉病且籽粒毒素含量低的小麦品种以减轻赤霉病危害,在对我国南方麦区地方品种进行赤霉病抗性鉴定的基础上,选用8个籽粒中脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇（deoxynivalenol, DON）含量水平不同的小麦品种作亲本,按8×8半双列杂交配制28个杂交组合,以接种后成熟籽粒中DON含量、病小穗数、病小穗率和病粒率为指标,进行赤霉病抗性、一般配合力（GCA）和特殊配合力（SCA）遗传分析,以及不同鉴定指标间比较和相关性分析。结果表明,8个品种中籽粒DON含量以苏麦3号最低(0.5715 mg kg^-1),Alondra’s最高(13.5560 mg kg^-1),各组合F1的籽粒DON含量均低于感病品种Alondra’s。品种间GCA和SCA存在显著差异,籽粒DON含量以加性效应为主,存在部分显性效应。苏麦3号、望水白和翻山小麦表现出较好的一般配合力效应。以苏麦3号为亲本的5个组合、望水白为亲本的4个组合特殊配合力效应较大。扬麦158一般配合力效应较小,但有4个组合表现较好的特殊配合力效应。籽粒DON含量和病小穗数、病小穗率、病粒率呈极显著的正相关关系。感病品种Alondra’s和绵阳8545的各个抗性鉴定指标的一般配合力在8个品种的排序中表现一致,抗病品种各个抗性指标的一般配合力在8个参试材料间的排序有所差异。DON含量的狭义遗传力为74.54%,因此以抗DON积累为指标的赤霉病抗性育种,可以在早期世代进行选择。
