Pathotypes and Genetic Diversity of Blumeria graminis f.sp.hordei in the Winter Barley Regions in China

Barley powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei （Bgh） is one of the most destructive foliar diseases of barley in the winter barley region of China. The evaluation and assessment of the virulence and diversity of Bgh populations help to determine effective sources of resistance to the pathogen. 515 isolates were collected from seven populations of Bgh on cultivated barley in seven geographically distant locations in 2006. Their virulence was determined by inoculation onto 26 differential host lines. All of the isolates belonged to 58 pathotypes and 13 of which included 81% of these isolates. The most abundant pathotype was pathotype 0047 （18.3%）, the second most abundant was pathotype 0045 （11.8%） and the third most abundant was pathotype 0057 （7.8%）. Most of virulent genes investigated in this study showed similar frequencies in the seven different areas. These indicate that the seven locations may be in a uniform epidemiological region and barley cultivars in these areas may have similar genetic background. Diversities within these populations and distances between these populations measured by KOIND package were different. Correlations were not found between the genetic distance and the geographical distances between different locations. This suggested that long distance spread and local epidemics existed in the major winter barley growing regions in China.

Virulence and Diversity of Blumeria graminis f.sp.tritici Populations in China

Wheat powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is an important disease in China. To characterize the virulence and diversity of the pathogen, 1 082 isolates were obtained from 8 major wheat-growing regions during the spring growing season in 2011. The virulence test was performed by inoculation on detached leaves of 22 differential lines with known Pm genes. Frequencies of virulence on these genotypes ranged from 0 to 97.4%. None of the 1 082 isolates was compatible to Pm21 and less than 20.0%were virulent to the genotype carrying Pm13. In contrast, the virulence frequencies of each population was more than 50.0%to differentials carrying Pm1a, Pm3b, Pm3c, Pm3f, Pm5a, Pm6 and Pm8. In total, 1 028 pathotypes were detected, of which 984 were unique. Phenotypic diversity indices revealed a high level of diversity within populations. Genetic distance between different populations correlated signiifcantly with geographical distance （R2=0.494, P 0.001）. In addition, isolates from Xinjiang appear to form a separate group. Signiifcant positive or negative associations between alleles at pairs of virulence loci were detected in 57 allele pairs to Pm genes. Virulence and diversity of the 8 populations suggested that varieties with effective resistance gene combinations should be developed at a regional level.

Population Genetic Analysis of Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici in Qinghai Province, China

To gain more precise information about molecular genetic variation for wild populations of Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici from Qinghai Province, China, 38 single-colony isolates were purified from samples collected from Haidong District, Xining City and Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in 2010. The virulence of 21 isolates among them was tested at seedling stage on 34 wheat cultivars（lines） carrying known powdery mildew（Pm） resistant genes. The results showed that V1 a, V3 a, V3 c, V3 e, V5 a, V6, V7, V8 and V19 had high virulence frequencies（〉75%）, indicating a wide distribution; and V1 c, V5 b, V12, V13, V16, V21, VXBD, V2＋6, V2＋Mld and V4＋8, with less distribution, appeared to be lower in frequencies（0-20%）. The Nei＇s gene diversity（H）, Shannon＇s information index（I） and the percentage of polymorphic loci（P） were 0.23, 0.35 and 67.65%, respectively, which revealed a virulent diversity. The results from single nucleotide polymorphisms（SNPs） of 38 isolates showed that three housekeeping genes were found to contain a total of 9 SNP sites. 10 haplotypes（H1-H10） were inferred from the concatenated sequences, with 1 haplotype（H1） comprising of over 55% of Qinghai population. Phylogenic analysis did not show obvious geographical subdivision between the isolates. A multilocus haplotype network presented a radial structure, with H1 in the central as an inferred ancestor. Using analysis of molecular variance（AMOVA）, we found 1.63% of the total variation was among populations and 98.37% within populations, with a low fixations index（FST=0.01634, P〈0.05）. This revealed a relatively high genetic diversity but a low genetic divergence in Qinghai population. Moreover, the molecular data on gene flow（Nm=6.32） confirmed the migration of pathogen populations among areas in Qinghai Province.

Development of SSR Markers for a Phytopathogenic Fungus,Blumeria graminis f.sp.tritici,Using a FIASCO Protocol

Simple sequence repeats （SSR） have been widely used as molecular markers due to their abundance and high polymorphism, However, up to now, the SSR markers had not been developed in the obligate biotrophic phytopathogenic fungus, Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici. From （AC）10 and （AG）10 enriched genomic libraries for Bgt, 25 primer pairs were designed using the FIASCO （fast isolation by AFLP of sequences containing repeats） protocol. Five primer pairs exhibited polymorphism with allelic diversity from two to seven alleles and produced 29 alleles in a survey of 90 isolates collected from six provinces （cities） in China, while the others displayed monomorphic. Levels of observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.000-0.044 （mean 0.025） and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.297-0.816 （mean 0.538）. These molecular markers provide a novel source to genetic diversity assays and to genetic and physical mapping ofBgt. SSR markers of Bgt need to be further explored.

Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA （RAPD） Analysis on Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici Isolates Collected in Central Gansu Province, China

Twenty isolated strains of Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici collected from central Gansu province were studied with random amplified polymorphic DNA （RAPD） analysis. PCR amplifications using nine random primers generated a total of 81 bands, of which, 54 were polymorphic. The total percentage of polymorphic bands varied from 50.0% to 88.9%. The average percentage based on RAPD patterns was approximately 66.7%, which indicated high heredity differentiation among isolates. Clustering analysis showed that the polymorphism of the twenty isolates was related to geographical origins but had little relationship with the physiological race.

Cytological and genetic analyses of a wheat-rye 2RL ditelosomic addition line with adult plant resistance to powdery mildew

Rye(Secale cereale genome RR),a close relative of common wheat,possesses valuable resistance genes for wheat improvement.Due to the co-evolution of pathogen virulence and host resistance,some resistance genes derived from rye have lost effectiveness.Development and identification of new,effective resistance genes from rye is thus required.In the current study,wheat-rye line WR56 was produced through distant hybridization,embryo rescue culture,chromosome doubling and backcrossing.WR56 was then proved to be a wheat-rye 2 RL ditelosomic addition line using GISH(genomic in situ hybridization),mc-FISH(multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization),ND-FISH(non-denaturing FISH),mc-GISH(multicolor GISH)and rye chromosome arm-specific marker analysis.WR56 exhibited a high level of adult plant resistance to powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f.sp.tritici(Bgt).This resistance was carried by the added 2 RL telosomes and presumed to be different from Pm7 which is also located on chromosome arm 2 RL but confers resistance at the seedling and adult stages.WR56 will be a promising bridging parent for transfer of the resistance to a more stable wheat breeding line.A newly developed2 RL-specific KASP(kompetitive allele specific PCR)marker should expedite that work.

Identification of QTL for adult-plant resistance to powdery mildew in Chinese wheat landrace Pingyuan 50

Powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici is one of the major wheat diseases worldwide. The Chinese wheat landrace Pingyuan 50 has shown adult-plant resistance(APR)to powdery mildew in the field for over 60 years. To dissect the genetic basis of APR to powdery mildew in this cultivar, a mapping population of 137 double haploid(DH) lines derived from Pingyuan 50/Mingxian 169 was evaluated in replicated field trials for two years in Beijing(2009–2010 and 2010–2011) and one year in Anyang(2009–2010). A total of 540 polymorphic SSR markers were genotyped on the entire population for construction of a linkage map and QTL analysis. Three QTL were mapped on chromosomes 2BS(QPm.caas-2BS.2), 3BS(QPm.caas-3BS),and 5AL(QPm.caas-5AL) with the resistance alleles contributed by Pingyuan 50 explaining 5.3%,10.2%, and 9.1% of the phenotypic variances, respectively, and one QTL on chromosome 3BL(QPm.caas-3BL) derived from Mingxian 169 accounting for 18.1% of the phenotypic variance.QPm.caas-3BS, QPm.caas-3BL, and QPm.caas-5AL appear to be new powdery mildew APR loci.QPm.caas-2BS.2 and QPm.caas-5AL are possibly pleiotropic or closely linked resistance loci to stripe rust resistance QTL. Pingyuan 50 could be a potential genetic resource to facilitate breeding for improved APR to both powdery mildew and stripe rust.

Molecular detection of the powdery mildew resistance genes in winter wheats DH51302 and Shimai 26

Resistance to powdery mildew is an important trait of interest in many wheat breeding programs. The information on genes conferring resistance to powdery mildew in wheat cultivars is useful in parental selection. Winter wheat breeding line DH51302 derived from Liangxing 99 and cultivar Shimai 26 derived from Jimai 22 showed identical infection patterns against 13 isolates of Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici(Bgt) that causes wheat powdery mildew. DH51302 and Shimai 26 were crossed to a powdery mildew susceptible cultivar Zhongzuo 9504 and the F2:3 families were used in molecular localization of the resistance genes. Fourteen polymorphic markers, which were linked to Pm52 from Liangxing 99, were used to establish the genetic linkage maps for the resistance genes Pm DH51302 and Pm SM26 in DH51302 and Shimai 26, respectively. These genes were placed in the same genetic interval where Pm52 resides. Analysis of gene-linked molecular markers indicated that Pm DH51302 and Pm SM26 differed from other powdery mildew resistance genes on chromosome arm 2 BL, such as Pm6, Pm33, Pm51, Ml Zec1, Ml AB10, and Pm64. Based on the results of reaction patterns to different Bgt isolates and molecular marker localization, together with the pedigree information, DH51302 and Shimai 26 carried the same gene, Pm52, which confers their resistance to powdery mildew.

小麦白粉病菌诱导的TaWRKY34基因的鉴定与分析

WRKY转录因子在植物抗病防卫反应中发挥重要作用。利用cDNA宏阵列(macroarray)和RT-PCR相结合的方法,从小麦全长cDNA文库的WRKY转录因子中筛选出一个应答小麦白粉病菌胁迫的TaWRKY34转录因子,该基因编码464个氨基酸。染色体定位分析表明,该转录因子位于小麦第一同源群染色体的短臂上,并且只在细胞核中表达。其蛋白序列与拟南芥、大麦和葡萄抗病相关WRKY转录因子的亲缘关系较近,与其中的3个WRKY基因具有相似的表达模式。TaWRKY34在Pm16/北京8377抗白粉病近等基因系中,对小麦白粉病菌、水杨酸和茉莉酸诱导的表达模式存在差异。TaWRKY34可能与小麦对白粉菌的抗性有关。
