Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wheat molecular breeding technology, specifically to a KASP primer set for detecting Fusarium head blight resistance genes and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Fusarium head blight (also known as wheat head rot, wheat head decay, or red wheat head) is a major catastrophic disease of wheat distributed globally. It can occur from the seedling stage to the heading stage of wheat development. Infected wheat exhibits symptoms such as seedling rot, stem rot, stalk rot, and ear rot. This disease is extremely damaging, typically reducing yield by 10%-20% in epidemic years and by 20%-50% in pandemic years, leading to total crop failure in extreme cases. The annual affected area reaches 40-50 million mu (approximately 2.6-3.3 million hectares). Infected wheat grains become shriveled and dry, with reduced thousand-grain weight and flour yield, significantly lowering their commercial value. More seriously, fungal toxins produced by the pathogen, such as vomitoxin and zearalenone, contaminate the wheat grains, rendering them unsuitable for food and feed, and posing a serious threat to human and animal health.

[0003] Chemical agents and agricultural control are common traditional control measures for wheat scab, which have effectively mitigated the negative impact of scab on wheat yield and quality to some extent. However, due to factors such as the development of pathogen resistance, changes in environmental conditions, and differences in cultivation management, traditional control measures still have certain limitations. Scab-resistant breeding, on the other hand, has shown unique advantages. By utilizing disease-resistant gene resources to improve the wheat's own resistance, green control of wheat scab can be achieved.

[0004] Disease resistance gene aggregation involves combining superior disease resistance genes from different wheat materials into a single material. Aggregating different disease resistance genes can effectively improve the disease resistance of wheat varieties and reduce the risk of loss of crop resistance traits due to mutations or degeneration of single genes. However, currently, there are not many wheat varieties resistant to Fusarium head blight obtained through gene aggregation molecular breeding technology, and the number of effective resistance genes that can be used for molecular marker-assisted selection is still relatively small.
