Abstract
Key message
A wheat-rye 4R chromosome disomic addition line with resistances to powdery mildew, stripe rust, sharp eyespot and high kernel number per spike was developed and characterized by molecular cytogenetic method as novel resistant germplasm.
Abstract
Rye (Secale cereale L.), a close relative of common wheat, is an important and valuable gene donor with multiple disease resistance for wheat improvement. However, resistance genes derived from rye have successively lost resistance to pathogens due to the coevolution of pathogen virulence and host resistance. Development and identification of new effective resistance gene sources from rye therefore are of special importance and urgency. In the present study, a wheat-rye line WR35 was produced through distant hybridization, embryo rescue culture, chromosome doubling and backcrossing. WR35 was then proven to be a new wheat-rye 4R disomic addition line using sequential GISH (genomic in situ hybridization), mc-FISH (multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization) and ND-FISH (non-denaturing FISH) with multiple probes, mc-GISH (multicolor GISH), rye chromosome arm-specific marker analysis and SLAF-seq (specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing) analysis. At the adult stage, WR35 exhibited high levels of resistance to the powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, Bgt) and stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, Pst) pathogens prevalent in China, and a highly virulent isolate of Rhizoctonia cerealis, the cause of wheat sharp eyespot. At the seedling stage, it was highly resistant to 22 of 23 Bgt isolates and four Pst races. Based on its disease responses to different pathogen isolates, WR35 may possess resistance gene(s) for powdery mildew, stripe rust and sharp eyespot, which differed from the known resistance genes from rye. In addition, WR35 was cytologically stable and produced high kernel number per spike. Therefore, WR35 with multi-disease resistances and desirable agronomic traits should serve as a promising bridging parent for wheat chromosome engineering breeding.
