Recombination around the P locus for long glume phenotype in experimental introgression lines of Triticum aestivum – Triticum polonicum

The Rht-B1 locus on the short arm of chromosome 4B has multiple alleles that give phenotypic expressions ranging from semi-dwarfism to extreme dwarfism. Allelic variation at Rht-B1 locus was also found in semi-dwarf Triticum polonicum L. cv. IC12196. The semi-dwarf allele from IC12196 could be an alternative source of reduced height gene. The experimental lines derived from the cross between Triticum aestivum L. cv. Novosibirskaya 67 (N67) and IC12196 were analyzed concerning the introgression of semi-dwarf allele from IC12196. The aim of the present study was to assess the selection for the semi-dwarfism and recombination around the locus of semi-dwarf gene using microsatellite markers on the short arm of chromosome 4B. The Rht-IC12196 allele was allelic to Rht-B1b allele, and microsatellite markers indicated that the Rht-IC12196 allele was linked with the markers, Xbarc1045 and Xgwm113 on the short arm of chromosome 4B. Out of 112 hexaploid introgression lines, 29 lines were semi-dwarf. The Xgwm113 and Xhbg226 markers flanking the Rht-B1 locus were replaced by N67 allele in the majority of introgression lines. Although it did not intend, the region around the Rht-B1 locus was highly selectable, but on short arms of chromosome 4B, Rht-IC12196 gene near the locus Xgwm113 explained a large part of the phenotypic variation originated from N67-allele and non-parental allele in tall accessions. The Rht-B1a allele was favorable in the consequence of bulk population breeding and the frequency of Rht-B1a allele was 73% in the hexaploid introgression lines. J. Bangladesh Agril.

A collection of introgression lines was obtained from crosses of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars with tetraploid wheat Triticum timopheevii (Zhuk.). Evaluation of resistance to fungal diseases revealed the lines with resistance to leaf and stem rusts, powdery mildew, spot blotch, and loose smut, the most widespread in Siberian region of Russia. Localization of the T. timopheevii genome fragments by means of microsatellite markers determined higher frequency of substitutions and translocations on chromosomes 1А, 2A, 2B, 5A, 5B and 6B. Molecular mapping of the loci determining leaf rust resistance revealed two independent loci on chromosomes 5B and 2A. The major locus on 5BS.5BL-5GL translocated chromosome accounting 64% of the phenotypic variance of the trait was found to be closely linked to microsatellite markers Xgwm814 and Xgwm1257. The other, minor locus, controlling 11% of the trait was mapped next to Xgwm312 on chromosome 2A. Microsatellite markers located near these genes may be used for controlling the transfer of valuable traits in new wheat cultivars.
