Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of molecular marker technology, and in particular to a wheat powdery mildew resistance gene. MlIW30 Tightly linked markers and their applications. Background Art
[0002] wheat( Triticum aestivum ) is an important food crop in the world, however its yield and quality are affected by a variety of diseases, such as wheat powdery mildew ( Blumeria graminis f. sp. Tritici ) causes wheat powdery mildew. Currently, wheat powdery mildew is primarily controlled through chemical control and breeding of resistant varieties. However, chemical control can increase resistance to pesticides and pollute the environment. Breeding resistant varieties is currently the most economical, environmentally friendly, and effective method. To date, over 100 powdery mildew resistance genes / alleles have been identified, of which 71 have been officially named ( Pm1 - Pm71 (Zhang J, Yang H, HanG, et al. Fine mapping of Pm71, a novel powdery mildew resistance gene from emmer wheat[J]. The Crop Journal, 2025.), distributed on different chromosomes except 3D and 5A. However, due to the continuous evolution of pathogen races, the effects of individual disease-resistance genes are often short-lived. Very few broad-spectrum resistance genes are actually utilized in breeding, so it is necessary to discover new disease-resistance genes in closely related species of wheat. Agropyron ovata, Elymus longipterus, Triticum vulgare, Aegilops tauschii, wild emmer wheat, and Einkorn wheat are all valuable resources for wheat disease-resistance genes. Discovering and utilizing disease-resistance genes in closely related wild species in breeding can enrich the genetic background of wheat.
[0003] wild emmer wheat ( Triticum dicoccoides , 2n = 4x = 28, AABB) as the secondary gene library, reported including Pm36 (Li M, Zhang H, K Zhu, et al. A membrane associated tandemkinase from wild emmer wheat confers broad-spectrum resistance to powderymildew[J]. Nature Communications, 2024, 15(1): 3124.), Pm64(Zhang D, Zhu K,Dong L, et al. Wheat powdery mildew resistance gene Pm64 derived from wildemmer (Triticum turgidum var. dicoccoides) is tightly linked in repulsionwith stripe rust resistance gene Yr5[J]. The Crop Journal, 2019, 7(6): 761-770.) and MlIW39 (Qiu L, Liu N, Wang H, et al. Fine mapping of a powdery mildew resistance gene MlIW39 derived from wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp.dicoccoides)[J]. Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2021, 134(8): 2469-2479.), etc. Wild emmer wheat, as the ancestral species of common wheat, has genes that can be more fully recombined into the genome of common wheat, avoiding the problem of poor genetic compensation utility caused by the integration of most exogenous genes into the wheat genome in the form of ectopic lines. Therefore, mining excellent disease-resistant genes in the ancestral seed resources of wheat is easier to achieve a balance between disease resistance and comprehensive agronomic and yield traits, and has greater potential breeding utilization value.
[0004] 2L6 (IW30 / Zheng 98 / / 87-1*3) is an introgression line of wild emmer wheat material IW30, carrying a dominant powdery mildew resistance gene, tentatively named MlIW30 . MlIW30 The gene is resistant to wheat powdery mildew race E09 throughout its growth period and has important application value in breeding. Geng Miaomiao et al. (Geng M, Zhang J, Peng F, et al. Identification and mapping of MLIW30, a novel powdery mildew resistance gene derived from wild emmer wheat[J]. Molecular Breeding, 2016, 36: 1-11.) used traditional map-based cloning to identify MLIW30. MlIW30 Located at 4AL, located at the marker XG223 andXG270 However, when transferring and utilizing the phenotypic characteristics in the breeding process, phenotypic identification is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS) has become an important means to improve breeding efficiency. MlIW30 The existing markers have a long genetic distance and low accuracy, so there is an urgent need to develop MlIW30 Molecular markers with tightly linked genes are used for genetic analysis such as assisted selection breeding.
