PCR was performed with the primers and cDNA from the Triticum aestivum-Haynaldia villosa translocation line 6VS/6AL. Amplified products were cloned and sequenced. Nine clones with NBS and one with serine/threonine kinase domain were obtained. The NBS clones were classified to six groups according to their nucleotide sequence identities (90% or higher). These resistance gene analogs (RGAs) all have open reading frames (ORF), and their amino acid sequences show high similarity to Yr10 in wheat, Mla1 and Mla6 in barley, RPS2 in Arabidopsis and other resistance (R) genes with conserved motifs. They were preliminarily mapped on the chromosomes of homoeologous groups 1, 2 and 5 of common wheat by nulli-tetrasomic analysis. The 5'-end sequence of an RGA N5 was obtained by 5'-RACE PCR. It encodes six leucine zipper (LZ) and has high sequence similarity to RPS2.展开更多

The 6VS were microdissected with needle and 10 types of resistance gene analogs were obtained by PCR with degenerate oligonucleotide primer designed according to resistance genes. They were designated as Hvrgak1-Hvrgak10, GenBank accession numbers are AF387113-AF387121, AY040671- AY040672. Identity among RGAs was about 10-50%, and identity with cloned R gene from plants was 5-20%. Southern hybridization analysis results showed 3 RGAs, Hvrgak2, Hvrgak4, and Hvr-gak5 were linked with wheat powdery mildew resistance. These RGAs may be used as direct entrance or probes for cloning the disease resistance genes.展开更多

Conflicting results of fungal disease resistance QTLs from different populations often occurred. The objectives of this study were to： （i） evaluate evidence for reported fungal disease resistance QTLs associations in soybean and （ii） extract relatively reliable and useful information from the ＂real＂ QTLs and mine putative genes in soybean. An integrated map of fungal disease resistance QTLs in soybean was established with soymap 2 published in 2004 as a reference map. QTLs of fungal disease resistance developed from each of separate populations in recent 10 years were integrated into a combinative map for gene cloning and marker assisted selection in soybean. 107 QTLs from different maps were integrated and projected to the reference map with the software BioMercator 2.1. A method of meta-analysis was used to narrow down the confidence interval, and 23 ＂real＂ QTLs and their corresponding markers were obtained from 12 linkage groups （LG）, respectively. Two published R genes were found in these ＂real＂ QTLs intervals. Sequences in the ＂real＂ QTLs intervals were predicted by GENSCAN, and these predicted genes were annotated in Goblet. 228 resistance gene analogs （RGAs） in 12 different terms were mined. The results will lay the foundation for a bioinformatics platform combining abundant QTLs, and offer the basis for marker assisted selection and gene cloning in soybean.展开更多

The crop is affected by bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens. The strategy of resistance-gene homologue(RGH) cloning has proven to be an efficient tool for identifying markers and R(resistance) genes associated with resistances to diseases. Microsatellite or SSR markers can be identified by physical association with RGH clones on large-insert DNA clones such as bacterial artificial chromosomes(BACs). Our objectives in this work were to identify RGH-SSR in a BAC library from the Andean genotype G19833 and to test and map any polymorphic markers to identify associations with known positions of disease resistance genes. We developed a set of specific probes designed for clades of common bean RGH genes and then identified positive BAC clones and developed microsatellites from BACs having SSR loci in their end sequences. A total of 629 new RGH-SSRs were identified and named BMr(bean microsatellite RGH-associated markers). A subset of these markers was screened for detecting polymorphism in the genetic mapping population DOR364 × G19833. A genetic map was constructed with a total of 264 markers,among which were 80 RGH loci anchored to single-copy RFLP and SSR markers. Clusters of RGH-SSRs were observed on most of the linkage groups of common bean and in positions associated with R-genes and QTL. The use of these new markers to select for disease resistance is discussed.展开更多
