Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) is among the most important diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) globally. Utilization of adult plant resistance (APR) constitutes a key tool for maintaining protection against this disease. The CIMMYT wheat cultivar P10057 displayed a high level of APR to stripe rust in germplasm evaluation in field environments. To clarify the genetic basis and identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) involved in stripe rust resistance in P10057, three wheat populations were used: 150 F5:6 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the cross Mingxian 169 × P10057, and 161 and 140 F2:3 lines from Avocet S × P10057 and Zhengmai 9023 × P10057, respectively. These three populations were evaluated for infection type (IT) and disease severity (DS) in Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan during the 2014–15 and 2015–16 cropping seasons. Genotyping was performed with Kompetitive Allelic Specific PCR (KASP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers linked to the resistance loci. Using QTL analysis, two genomic regions associated with resistance were found on chromosome arms 2BS and 3BS, respectively. These two stable QTLs, designated Qyrlov.nwafu-2BS and Qyrlov.nwafu-3BS, were detected across all environments and explained average 22.6 to 31.6% and 21.3 to 32.3% of stripe rust severity phenotypic variation, respectively. Qyrlov.nwafu-2BS may be the resistance allele derived from CIMMYT germplasm and Qyrlov.nwafu-3BS likely corresponds to the locus Sr2/Lr27/Yr30/Pbc. The KASP markers IWA5377, IWA2674, and IWA5830 linked to QYrlov.nwafu-2BS and IWB57990 and IWB6491 linked to Qyrlov.nwafu-3BS were reliable for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in the Zhengmai 9023 × P10057 population. These QTLs with KASP markers are expected to contribute in developing wheat cultivars with improved stripe rust resistance.

Stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici threatens worldwide wheat production. Growing resistant cultivars is the best way to control this disease. Chinese wheat cultivar Qinnong 142 (QN142) has a high level of adult-plant resistance to stripe rust. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to stripe rust resistance, we developed a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population from a cross between QN142 and susceptible cultivar Avocet S. The parents and 165 F6 RILs were evaluated in terms of their stripe rust infection type and disease severity in replicated field tests with six site-year environments. The parents and RILs were genotyped with single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Four stable QTLs were identified in QN142 and mapped to chromosome arms 1BL, 2AL, 2BL, and 6BS. The 1BL QTL was probably the known resistance gene Yr29, the 2BL QTL was in a resistance gene-rich region, and the 2AL and 6BS QTLs might be new. Kompetitive allele specific polymerase chain reaction markers developed from the SNP markers flanking these QTLs were highly polymorphic in a panel of 150 wheat cultivars and breeding lines. These markers could be used in marker-assisted selection for incorporating the stripe rust resistance QTL into new wheat cultivars.

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) for barley stripe rust resistance were mapped in recombinant inbred lines (RIL) from a ‘Lenetah’ × ‘Grannelose Zweizeilige’ (GZ) cross. GZ is known for a major seedling resistance QTL on chromosome 4H but linked markers suitable for marker-assisted selection have not been developed. This study identified the 4H QTL (log of the likelihood [LOD] = 15.94 at 97.19 centimorgans [cM]), and additional QTL on chromosomes 4H and 6H (LOD = 5.39 at 72.7 cM and 4.24 at 34.46 cM, respectively). A QTL on chromosome 7H (LOD = 2.04 at 81.07 cM) was suggested. All resistance alleles were derived from GZ. Evaluations of adult plant response in Corvallis, OR in 2013 and 2015 provided evidence of QTL at the same positions. However, the minor QTL on 4H was not statistically significant in either location/year, while the 7H QTL was significant in both. The single-nucleotide polymorphism markers flanking the resistance QTL were validated in RIL from a ‘95SR316A’ × GZ cross for their ability to predict seedling resistance. In 95SR316A × GZ, 91 to 92% of RIL with GZ alleles at the major 4H QTL and at least one other were resistant to moderate in reaction. In these populations, at least two QTL were required to transfer the barley stripe rust resistance from GZ.

Stripe rust, also known as yellow rust, is a significant threat to wheat yield worldwide. Adult plant resistance (APR) is the preferred way to obtain durable protection. Chinese winter wheat cultivar Xinong1376 has maintained acceptable APR to stripe rust in field environments. To characterize APR in this cultivar, 190 F10 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from Xiaoyan81 × Xinong1376 were evaluated for infection type and disease severity in fields either artificially or naturally inoculated. The population along with parents were genotyped using the Illumina 90K single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays. Six quantitative trait loci (QTL) were detected using the inclusive composite interval mapping method. QYr.nwafu-4AL and QYr.nwafu-6BL.3 conferred stable resistance in all environments, and likely corresponded to a gene-rich region on the long arm of chromosomes 4A and 6B. QYr.nwafu-5AL, QYr.nwafu-5BL, QYr.nwafu-3BL.1, and QYr.nwafu-3BL.2 were detected only in some environments but enhanced the level of resistance conferred by QYr.nwafu-4AL and QYr.nwafu-6BL.3. Kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers developed for QYr.nwafu-4AL and QYr.nwafu-6BL.3 were confirmed in a subset of RILs and 133 wheat genotypes. The QTL on 4AL and 6BL with their linked KASP markers would be useful for marker-assisted selection to improve stripe rust resistance in breeding programs.

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is a damaging disease of wheat globally, and breeding resistant cultivars is the best control strategy. The Chinese winter wheat cultivar Shumai126 (SM126) exhibited strong resistance to P. striiformis f. sp. tritici in the field for more than ten years. The objective of this study was to identify and map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to stripe rust in a population of 154 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between cultivars Taichang29 (TC29) and SM126. The RILs were tested in six field environments with a mixture of the Chinese prevalent races (CYR32, CYR33, CYR34, Zhong4, and HY46) of P. striiformis f. sp. tritici and in growth chamber with race CYR34 and genotyped using the Wheat55K SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) array. Six QTL were mapped on chromosomes 1BL, 2AS, 2AL, 6AS, 6BS, and 7BL, respectively. All these QTL were contributed by SM126 except QYr.sicau-2AL. The QYr.sicau-1BL and QYr.sicau-2AS had major effects, explaining 27.00-39.91% and 11.89-17.11% of phenotypic variances, which may correspond to known resistance genes Yr29 and Yr69, respectively. The QYr.sicau-2AL, QYr.sicau-6AS, and QYr.sicau-6BS with minor effects are likely novel. QYr.sicau-7BL was only detected based on growth chamber seedling data. Additive effects were detected for the combination of QYr.sicau-1BL, QYr.sicau-2AS, and QYr.sicau-2AL. SNP markers linked to QYr.sicau-1BL (AX-111056129 and AX-108839316) and QYr.sicau-2AS (AX-111557864 and AX-110433540) were converted to breeder-friendly KASP (Kompetitive allele-specific PCR) markers that would facilitate the deployment of stripe rust resistance genes in wheat breeding.

Stripe rust is a major fungal disease of wheat. It frequently becomes epidemic in southeastern Gansu province, a stripe rust hot spot in China. Evaluations of wheat germplasm response are crucial for developing cultivars to control the disease. In total, 57 wheat cultivars and lines from Europe and other countries, comprising 36 cultivars with documented stripe rust resistance genes and 21 with unknown genes, were tested annually with multiple races of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici in the field at Tianshui in Gansu province from 1993 to 2013. Seven wheat lines were highly resistant, with infection type (IT) 0 during the entire period; 16 were moderately resistant (IT 0;-2); and 26 were moderately susceptible (IT 0;-4), with low maximum disease severity compared with the susceptible control Huixianhong. ‘Strampelli’ and ‘Libellula’, with three and five quantitative trait loci, respectively, for stripe rust resistance have displayed durable resistance in this region for four decades. Ten cultivars, including ‘Lantian 15’, ‘Lantian 26’, and ‘Lantian 31’, with stripe rust resistance derived from European lines, were developed in our breeding program and have made a significant impact on controlling stripe rust in southeastern Gansu. Breeding resistant cultivars with multiple adult-plant resistance genes seems to be a promising strategy in wheat breeding for managing stripe rust in this region and other hot spots.

The release of commercial wheat cultivars resistant to stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), remains one of the primary objectives in many breeding programs. Previous studies of adult plant resistance derived from the winter wheat cultivar Cappelle-Desprez identified the quantitative trait loci (QTL) QYr.ufs-2A, QYr.ufs-2D, QYr.ufs-5B and QYr.ufs-6D to affect stripe rust under South African conditions. Phenotypic field assessment, fluorescence microscopy and molecular analysis were used to characterise recombinant inbred lines differing in number and combinations of these QTL. Besides the confirmation of enhanced resistance through co-occurring resistance loci, varying levels of defence, conditioned by different QTL combinations were observed. Carriers of QYr.ufs-2A or QYr.ufs-2D, accompanied by at least one other QTL, exhibited higher resistance levels than lines with a single QTL. The knowledge gained in this study will help wheat breeders to develop cultivars with more diverse combinations and potentially more durable sources of stripe rust resistance.

Wheat stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f.sp. tritici Eriks (Pst), is one of the most important diseases of bread wheat worldwide. Breeding resistant wheat cultivars is the most economical, effective and environmentally friendly way for controlling wheat stripe rust in China. The Romanian wheat line Fundulea 900 showed good resistance to wheat stripe rust at the adult stage. The present study aimed to map the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for stripe rust resistance in 176 F<sub>2:6</sub> recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from the cross of Fundulea 900 × Thatcher. The RIL population was phenotyped for stripe rust (YR) severity at Mianyang in the Sichuan province and Baoding in the Hebei province in the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 cropping seasons. SSR markers combined with a preferred screened group (PSG) analysis were used to identify the QTLs for stripe rust in the population. Three QTLs for stripe rust resistance were mapped on chromosomes 1AL, 7BL and 7DS, respectively. All three QTLs originated from Fundulea 900 and were detected in all the environments. The QTL on 7DS was provided by the known resistance gene Yr18/Lr34. The two QTLs on chromosomes 1AL and 7BL were explained by 9.2 to 21.5% and 5.1 to 10.1% of the phenotypic variance, respectively and might be new QTLs. The QTLs identified in the study and their closely linked markers can be used for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in wheat breeding programmes.

Abstract Cultivars with durable resistance are the most popular means to control wheat stripe rust. Durable resistance can be achieved by stacking multiple adult-plant resistance (APR) genes that individually have relatively smaller effect. Chinese wheat cultivars Ruihua 520 (RH520) and Fengdecun 12 (FDC12) confer partial APR to stripe rust across environments. One hundred and seventy recombinant inbred lines from the cross RH520 × FDC12 were used to determine the genetic basis of resistance and identify genomic regions associated with stripe rust resistance. Genotyping was carried out using 55K SNP array and eight quantitative trait loci (QTL) were detected on chromosomes 2AL, 2DS, 3BS, 4BL, 5BL (2) and 7BL (2) by inclusive composite interval mapping. Only QYr.nwafu-3BS from RH520 and QYr.nwafu-4BL.2 (named YrFDC12 for convenience) from FDC12 were stable across the four testing environments. QYr.nwafu-3BS is likely the pleiotropic resistance gene Sr2/Yr30. YrFDC12 was mapped in a 2.1 cM interval corresponding to 12 Mb and flanked by SNP markers AX-111121224 and AX-89518393. Lines harboring both Yr30 and YrFDC12 displayed higher resistance than the parents and expressed pseudo-black chaff (PBC) controlled by two loci Pbc1 and PbcFDC12, which were co-located with Yr30 and YrFDC12, respectively. Both marker-based and pedigree-based kinship analyses revealed that YrFDC12 was inherited from founder parent Zhou 8425B. Fifty-four other wheat cultivars shared the same haplotype of YrFDC12 region. These results suggest an effective pyramiding strategy to acquire highly effective, durable stripe rust resistance in breeding.

Chinese wheat landrace Anyuehong (AYH) has displayed high levels of stable adult-plant resistance (APR) to stripe rust for more than 15 years. To identify QTL for stripe rust resistance in AYH, a set of 110 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) was developed from a cross between AYH and susceptible cultivar Taichung 29. The parents and RILs were evaluated for final disease severity (FDS) in six field tests with a mixture of predominant Pst races at the adult-plant stage and genotyped using the wheat 55K SNP array to construct a genetic map with 1,143 SNP markers. Three QTL, designated as QYr.AYH-1AS, QYr.AYH-5BL and QYr.AYH-7DS, were mapped on chromosome 1AS, 5BL and 7DS, respectively. RILs combining three QTL showed significantly reduced FDS compared with the lines in other combinations. Of them, QYr.AYH-5BL and QYr.AYH-7DS were stably detected in all environments, explaining 13.6–21.4% and 17.6–33.6% of phenotypic variation, respectively. Compared with previous studies, QYr.AYH-5BL may be a new QTL, while QYr.AYH-7DS may be Yr18. Haplotype analysis revealed that QYr.AYH-5BL is likely present in 6.2% of the 323 surveyed Chinese wheat landraces. The Kompetitive allele specific PCR (KASP) markers for QYr.AYH-5BL were developed by the linked SNP markers to successfully confirm the effects of the QTL in a validation population derived from a residual heterozygous line, and were further assessed in 38 Chinese wheat landraces and 92 cultivars. Our results indicated that QYr.AYH-5BL with linked KASP markers should have potential value for marker-assisted selection to improve stripe rust resistance in breeding programs.

Stripe rust (yellow rust), caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most destructive diseases of wheat in the world. Chinese wheat landrace ‘Guangtoumai’ (GTM) exhibited a high-level resistance against predominant Pst races in China at the adult-plant stage. The objective of this research was to identify and map the major locus/loci for stripe rust resistance in GTM. A set of 212 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) was developed from a cross between GTM and Avocet S (AvS). The parents and RILs were evaluated in three field tests (2018, 2019, and 2020 at Chongzhou, Sichuan) with the currently predominant Pst races for final disease severity (FDS) and genotyped with the Wheat 55K SNP array to construct a genetic map with 1,031 SNP markers. A major locus, named QYr.GTM-5DL, was detected on chromosome 5DL in GTM. The locus was mapped in a 2.75 cM interval flanked by SNP markers AX-109855976 and AX-109453419, explaining up to 44.4% of the total phenotypic variation. Since no known Yr genes have been reported on chromosome 5DL, QYr.GTM-5DL is very likely a novel adult plant resistance (APR) locus. Haplotype analysis revealed that the resistance allele displayed enhanced levels of stripe rust resistance and is likely present in 5.3% of the 247 surveyed Chinese wheat landraces. The derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (dCAPS) marker dCAPS-5722, converted from a SNP marker tightly linked to QYr.GTM-5DL with 0.3 cM, was validated on a subset of RILs and 48 commercial wheat cultivars developed in Sichuan. The results indicated that QYr.GTM-5DL with its linked dCAPS marker could be used in marker-assisted selection to improve stripe rust resistance in breeding programs, and this QTL will provide new and possibly durable resistance to stripe rust.
