Creation and development of new races of rust pathogen have led to serious crisis of resistance loss in widely planted varieties. This has quickened the search for new resistance resources. Molecular marker could facilitate the identification of the location of novel genes. A line A-3 with high resistance (immune) to currently epidemic yellow rust races (CY29, 31, 32) was screened out in offspring of Triticum aestivura x Thinopyrum ponticum. Segregation in F2 and BC1 populations indicated that the resistance was controlled by two independent genes: one dominant and one recessive. SSR markers were employed to map the two resistant genes in the F2 and BC1 populations. A marker WMC477-167bp located on 2BS was linked to the dominant gene with genetic distance of 0.4 cM. Another marker WMC364-2os bp located on 7BS was linked to the recessive-resistant gene with genetic distance of 5.8 cM. The two genes identified in this paper might be two novel stripe rust resistant genes, which were temporarily designated as YrTpl and YrTp2, respectively. The tightly linking markers facilitate transfer of the two resistant genes into the new varieties to control epidemic of yellow rust.展开更多

Barkworth & D. R. Dewey are important intermediates in wheat breeding because of their resistance to major wheat diseases. In this study, we examined the chromosome compositions of five Xiaoyan-series wheat-Th, ponticum partial amphiploids (Xiaoyan 68, Xiaoyan 693, Xiaoyan 784, Xiaoyan 7430, and Xiaoyan 7631) using GISH, multicolor-GISH, and multicolor-FISH. We found several chromosome changes in these lines. For example, wheat chromosomes 1B and 2B were added in Xiaoyan 68 and Xiaoyan 7430, respectively, while wheat chromosome 6B was eliminated from Xiaoyan 693 and Xiaoyan 7631. Chromosome rearrangements were also detected in these amphiploids, including an interspecific translocation involving chromosome 4D and some intergenomic translocations, such as A--B and A--D translocations, among wheat genomes. Analysis of the Th. ponticum chromosomes in the amphiploids showed that some lines shared the same alien chromosomes. We also evaluated these partial amphiploids for resistance to nine races of stem rust, including TTKSK (commonly known as Ug99). Three lines, Xiaoyan 68, Xiaoyan 784, and Xiaoyan 7430, exhibited excellent resistance to all nine races, and could therefore be valuable sources of stem rust resistance in wheat breeding.展开更多

Blue-grained wheat derived from the hybrid Triticum aestivum L. X Thinopyrum ponticum (Podp.) Barkworth et D. R. Dewey (Agropyron elongatum (Host) P. Beauv., 2n=70).

Dewey (Agropyron elongatum (Host) P. Beauv., 2n=70). The molecular biological mechanism of the biosynthetic pathway of blue pigments in the blue grain remains unclear yet. Dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) is one of the key enzymes controlling flavonoid synthesis in anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway, and may directly participate in the formation of blue pigment in the aleurone layer of blue-grained wheat. Here we cloned a DFR cDNA (TaDFR) from the developing seeds of blue-grained wheat, and four DFR genomic DNAs from Th. ponticum (ThpDFR.t), blue-grained wheat (TaDFR.bg), white-grained offspring of light blue-grained wheat (TaDFR.wg) and Chinese Spring (2n=42) (TaDFR.csg), respectively. TaDFR cDNA encodes a 354 amino-acids polypeptide with high identity to DFR from Hordeum vulgare L. (94%), Oryza sativa L. (83%), Zea mays L.(84%). The result of cluster analysis showed that TaDFR cDNA nucleotide sequence has 100% identity with that of TaDFR.csg. The four DFR genomic DNAs have extraordinary high homology and each has three introns. The differences of the four DFR genomic DNAs mainly exist in introns. Southern blotting analysis showed that there are at least 3-5 DFR copies in wheat, the copy numbers in different color grain wheats are not significantly different. The hybridization band patterns were the same, but different from that of Th. ponticum. DFR in blue-grained wheat belongs to a DFR superfamily. Northern blotting analysis indicated that the DFR expressed in the developing seeds of both blue- and white-grained wheat at 15 d after flowering (DAF), the mRNA levels of DFR reached the highest at 18 DAF, then declined quickly and disappeared at 33 DAF But the expression levels in blue-grained seeds were higher than that in white grain at the same seed developing stages. DFR transcripts accumulated in young leaves, and leaf sheaths of blue- and white-grained wheat and Th ponticum, but not detected in roots from different color wheats and developing seeds of Th. ponticum. Results indicated that there may exist some regulatory gene(s) which can increase the expression of DFR in the aleurone layer of blue-grained wheat, and thus resulting in the formation of blue pigments.展开更多
