Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biological genetic engineering technology, specifically a method for generating a wheat powdery mildew resistance gene. PmJ684 Tightly linked molecular markers and their applications. Background Art

[0002] Blumeria graminis Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici ( Bgt ) is a major disease that causes wheat and spreads rapidly, seriously affecting wheat grain production. Wheat infection with powdery mildew generally reduces yield by 5-20%. In severe cases, it can reach 30-50%. There are many measures to prevent and control wheat powdery mildew, such as agricultural control, chemical control, biological control, planting disease-resistant varieties, etc. Among them, planting disease-resistant varieties is one of the most effective and convenient methods. By selecting and cultivating high-resistance powdery mildew varieties, the impact of powdery mildew on wheat yield can be effectively reduced. To date, more than 100 powdery mildew (Pm) resistance genes or alleles have been discovered from wheat and its closely related genera. However, with the passage of time and the continuous evolution of powdery mildew, many powdery mildew resistance genes have become ineffective, so finding new resistance genes has become a top priority in powdery mildew prevention and control.

[0003] Cultivated emmer wheat ( Triticum dicoccum , 2n = 4x = 28, AABB) is an ancient tetraploid wheat, a key intermediate species in the evolution of the genus Triticum, and plays an important role in the formation of modern hexaploid common wheat (such as bread wheat). Cultivated emmer wheat carries multiple disease resistance genes (such as powdery mildew resistance genes). Pm3h 、 Pm4a 、 Pm49 and Pm68 、 Pm71 ), has been widely used in modern wheat disease resistance breeding. Cultivated emmer wheat is not only a "living fossil" of the origin of agriculture, but also an irreplaceable genetic resource for modern wheat breeding.

[0004] Traditional breeding relies primarily on phenotypic observation and selection, a method that is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also susceptible to environmental factors, resulting in low selection accuracy. In contrast, marker-assisted selection (MAS) enables direct genotype detection and targeted selection by identifying molecular markers that are tightly linked or co-segregate with target genes. The advantages of this technology include: on the one hand, it can quickly and accurately identify resistance genes carried by different germplasm materials, significantly improving screening efficiency; on the other hand, it can help breeders precisely identify germplasm resources with desirable traits such as powdery mildew resistance, thereby accelerating the breeding process and promoting the dissemination of superior varieties. Therefore, MAS technology provides an efficient and precise molecular breeding method for modern crop breeding.

[0005] The cultivated emmer wheat AABB684 has outstanding overall performance in the field. Continuous multi-site trials have shown that it has excellent agronomic traits and strong resistance to powdery mildew, making it a disease-resistant donor material with great application potential. We hybridized the cultivated emmer wheat AABB684 with AABB620 to construct a genetic segregation population. After infection with the powdery mildew epidemic strain E09, we found that the resistance ratio of the secondary segregation population was 3:1, which is consistent with Mendel's law of inheritance. Therefore, we believe that the resistance of AABB684 is caused by a dominant gene. PmJ684 Control, this gene belongs to the newly discovered wheat powdery mildew resistance gene / allele. PmJ684 The closely linked molecular marker YTULL-40 is not only PmJ684 It lays the foundation for positional cloning and can also be used to screen high-quality disease-resistant wheat resources, accelerate the breeding cycle and improve breeding efficiency.
