This invention relates to the field of
genetic engineering technology, and more particularly to a
molecular marker for detecting
wheat leaf rust resistance genes LrN4B or LrN3B and its application. The
molecular marker LrN4B-1 is located in the 578-585Mb region of
chromosome 4BL, with a polymorphism of C / G. The
molecular marker LrN3B-1 is located in the 4-8Mb region of
chromosome 3BS, with a polymorphism of T / C. This invention obtains molecular markers linked to
wheat leaf rust resistance genes LrN4B and LrN3B through the construction of
genetic linkage maps and the screening and localization of molecular markers. These two molecular markers can be used to distinguish the LrN4B+LrN3B
disease-resistant
genotype, screen for wheat lines containing these two
disease-
resistant genes, accelerate the process of wheat
disease-resistant breeding, and are of great significance in the field of breeding leaf
rust-resistant wheat.
