Temperature-sensitive resistance (TSR) that can protect against losses to Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) has been described in elite wheat germplasm. A TSR identified in the advanced breeding line CO960333 and its derivative KS06HW79 was examined in growth-chamber tests conducted under constant temperature regimes of 18, 21, and 24°C against an array of WSMV isolates. At 18°C, all tested isolates systemically infected the pedigree parents, while the progeny line CO960333 remained free of symptoms; at 24°C, all lines were susceptible. At the intermediate temperature of 21°C, the TSR of KS06HW79 was effective in contrast to the TSRs of KS03HW12 and ‘RonL’. In field trials conducted in 2011 and 2012, the TSR expressed in KS06HW79 conferred complete protection against yield losses from inoculation with the Sidney 81 isolate of WSMV, while the TSR of RonL conferred similar protection in 2012 but allowed small losses in 2011. The resistance expressed by KS06HW79 is likely not due to the Wsm1 gene because it did not contain the tightly linked J15 sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) DNA marker. These findings suggest that KS06HW79 could be an additional TSR source of value to wheat-breeding programs seeking to control losses from WSMV.

Expressing temperature-sensitive resistance (TSR) protects wheat against yield losses from infection with Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV). In examining how 2,429 wheat accessions from the National Small Grains Collection responded to inoculation with the Sid81 isolate of WSMV, 20 candidate TSR sources were discovered. To differentiate their relative effectiveness, accession responses over 21 days to inoculation with GH95, Sid81, and PV57 virus isolates in regimes of 18 and 20°C were observed. At 18°C, all 20 candidate TSR sources were uniformly or nearly uniformly asymptomatic 21 days after inoculation with the PV57 isolate, resistance indistinguishable from resistant checks KS96HW10-3 and RonL. By contrast, the Sid81 isolate induced symptoms in low but significant proportions of plants of two candidates, and the GH95 isolate in high proportions for four candidates and low but significant proportions for two others. In the more stringent 20°C regime, the uniform or near-uniform induction of symptoms in response to inoculation with GH95 failed to differentiate among the 20 candidate TSR sources and two resistant checks, while PV57 and Sid81 identified several candidates that performed similarly to KS96HW10-3 and significantly better than RonL. By identifying new sources of resistance, this study contributes to the control of WSMV.

Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) infection reduces seed yield and quality in wheat. These losses can be alleviated significantly by exploiting genetic host plant resistance. A new source of temperature-sensitive resistance to WSMV, KS03HW12, and its parental lines (KS97HW29/ KS97HW131//KS96HW100-5) were evaluated in both greenhouse and field conditions. Parental wheat lines were exposed to WSMV pressure under different temperatures in growth chambers to determine the stability of the resistance, and 2 years of field yield trials were conducted to confirm effectiveness. To determine the effectiveness of its resistance against a spectrum of isolates, KS03HW12 was tested against six different WSMV isolates of different geographic origins. Among the three pedigree parents, only one, KS97HW29, was resistant. The parental lines of KS97HW29 are not available for testing; therefore, the presumed origin of the resistance could not be further confirmed. None of the six tested WSMV isolates systemically infected KS03HW12 at 18°C. Yield of KS03HW12 in field tests was not different from healthy controls. Thus, the elite winter wheat KS03HW12 appears to be a stable and effective source of temperature-sensitive resistance to WSMV and should be useful for wheat breeding programs.

Wheat yields often are limited by infection by Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV). Host plant resistance to WSMV can reduce losses. This study was conducted to characterize a new source of temperature-sensitive resistance found in CO960293 wheat. The source of the temperature-sensitive resistance in CO960293 is unknown. Parental and other wheat lines were tested for WSMV resistance using 51 WSMV isolates under different temperatures to determine the stability of the resistance, and yield trials were conducted in the field for 3 years. All parental wheat lines became infected by WSMV at all temperatures and were infective in back assay to ‘Tomahawk’ wheat. No WSMV isolate defeated the resistance of CO960293 at 18°C. Yield of CO960293 in field trials was reduced in only 1 of 3 years. Our data demonstrate that this wheat line can be a valuable source of resistance to WSMV in wheat programs, particularly in areas where temperatures are cool following planting in the fall.

Plant genotype, age, size, and environmental factors can modify susceptibility and tolerance to disease. Understanding the individual and combined impacts of these factors is needed to define improved disease management strategies. In the case of Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) in winter wheat, yield losses and plant susceptibility have been found to be greatest when the crop is exposed to the virus in the fall in the central and southern Great Plains. However, the seasonal dynamics of disease risk may be different in the northern Great Plains, a region characterized by a relatively cooler fall conditions, because temperature is known to modify plant–virus interactions. In a 2-year field study conducted in south-central Montana, we compared the impact of fall and spring WSMV inoculations on the susceptibility, tolerance, yield, and grain quality of 10 winter wheat varieties. Contrary to previous studies, resistance and yields were lower in the spring than in the fall inoculation. In all, 5 to 7% of fall-inoculated wheat plants were infected with WSMV and yields were often similar to uninoculated controls. Spring inoculation resulted in 45 to 57% infection and yields that were 15 to 32% lower than controls. Although all varieties were similarly susceptible to WSMV, variations in tolerance (i.e., yield losses following exposure to the virus) were observed. These results support observations that disease risk and impacts differ across the Great Plains. Possible mechanisms include variation in climate and in the genetic composition of winter wheat and WSMV across the region.

Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) causes sporadic epidemics in Montana which can threaten profitability of the state’s small grains production. One challenge for WSMV management in Montana is that most commercially available wheat and barley cultivars are susceptible to WSMV or their performance under WSMV pressure is unknown. In a three-year field study from 2017 to 2019 winter wheat, spring wheat, and barley cultivars were evaluated for their susceptibility to WSMV and yield performance under WSMV pressure. Plants were mechanically inoculated and WSMV incidence was assessed using DAS-ELISA. There was effective resistance to WSMV in breeding line CO12D922, which had consistently low WSMV incidence, highlighting promising efforts in the development of WSMV-resistant winter wheat cultivars. Moderate WSMV incidence and minor yield losses were observed from WSMV infection of commercial winter wheat ‘Brawl CL Plus’ and MSU breeding line MTV1681. Spring wheat cultivars in this study had high WSMV incidence of up to 100 % in ‘Duclair,’ ‘Egan,’ and ‘McNeal.’ High WSMV incidence was associated with severe yield losses as high as 85 % for Duclair and ‘WB9879CL’ in 2019, demonstrating a high degree of susceptibility to WSMV inoculation. Barley cultivars had considerably lower WSMV incidence compared to spring and winter wheat. Grain yield response to WSMV inoculation was variable between barley cultivars. The study provided an experimental basis for cultivar recommendations for high WSMV pressure environments and identified breeding lines and cultivars with potential resistance traits of interest to breeding programs that aim to develop WSMV-resistant cultivars.

Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) and triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) are economically important viruses of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), causing significant yield losses in the Great Plains region of the United States. These two viruses are transmitted by wheat curl mites, which often leads to mixed infections with synergistic interaction in grower fields that exacerbates yield losses. Development of dual-resistant wheat lines would provide effective control of these two viruses. In this study, a genetic resistance strategy employing an RNA interference (RNAi) approach was implemented by assembling a hairpin element composed of a 202-bp (404-bp in total) stem sequence of the NIb (replicase) gene from each of WSMV and TriMV in tandem and of an intron sequence in the loop. The derived RNAi element was cloned into a binary vector and was used to transform spring wheat genotype CB037. Phenotyping of T1 lineages across eight independent transgenic events for resistance revealed that i) two of the transgenic events provided resistance to WSMV and TriMV, ii) four events provided resistance to either WSMV or TriMV, and iii) no resistance was found in two other events. T2 populations derived from the two events classified as dual-resistant were subsequently monitored for stability of the resistance phenotype through the T4 generation. The resistance phenotype in these events was temperature-dependent, with a complete dual resistance at temperatures ≥25°C and an increasingly susceptible response at temperatures below 25°C. Northern blot hybridization of total RNA from transgenic wheat revealed that virus-specific small RNAs (vsRNAs) accumulated progressively with an increase in temperature, with no detectable levels of vsRNA accumulation at 20°C. Thus, the resistance phenotype of wheat harboring an RNAi element was correlated with accumulation of vsRNAs, and the generation of vsRNAs can be used as a molecular marker for the prediction of resistant phenotypes of transgenic plants at a specific temperature.

One of the greatest virus disease threats to wheat production in the Great Plains of the USA is Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV). Breeding programs have developed wheat varieties that are resistant or tolerant to WSMV infection, but these characteristics are climate dependent, and may also vary by WSMV isolate. We tested 10 spring and nine winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) varieties and two barley (Hordeum vulgare) varieties for resistance and tolerance to one WSMV isolate over four years. In spring wheat and barley, there were year by cultivar interactions in terms of resistance and tolerance. However, in winter wheat, yield losses due to WSMV were relatively consistent across years and varieties. Additionally, we tested the impacts of three WSMV isolates individually and in a mixture on twelve, two, and twelve varieties of spring wheat, barley, and winter wheat, respectively. Resistance and tolerance varied by isolate and cultivar, but there were no isolate by cultivar interactions. For spring wheat and barley, yield impacts were greater for two of the three single isolates than for the isolate mixture, whereas in winter wheat, the isolate mixture caused greater yield losses than the individual isolates. Overall, the results indicate that resistance and tolerance phenotypes were influenced by environmental conditions and by WSMV isolate or combination of isolates, suggesting that cultivar screening should be conducted over multiple years and with multiple virus isolates.

Thinopyrum intermedium (2n = 6x = 42, JJJsJsSS) is potentially a useful source of resistance to wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) and its vector, the wheat curl mite (WCM). Five partial amphiploids, namely Zhong 1, Zhong 2, Zhong 3, Zhong 4, and Zhong 5, derived from Triticum aestivum × Thinopyrum intermedium crosses produced in China, were screened for WSMV and WCM resistance. Zhong 1 and Zhong 2 had high levels of resistance to WSMV and WCM. The other three partial amphiploids, Zhong 3, 4, and 5, were resistant to WSMV, but were susceptible to WCM. Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) using a genomic DNA probe from Pseudoroegneria strigosa (SS, 2n = 14) demonstrated that two partial amphiploids, Zhong 1 and Zhong 2, have almost the identical 10 Th. intermedium chromosomes, including four Js, four J, and two S genome chromosomes. Both of them carry two pairs of J and a pair of Js genome chromosomes and two different translocations that were not observed in the other three Zhong lines. The partial amphiploids Zhong 3, 4, and 5 have another type of basic genomic composition, which is similar to a reconstituted alien genome consisting of four S and four Js genome chromosomes of Th. intermedium (Zhong 5 has two Js chromosomes plus two Js–W translocations) with six translocated chromosomes between S and Js or J genomes. All three lines carry a specific S–S–Js translocated chromosome, which might confer resistance to barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV-PAV). The present study identified a specific Js2 chromosome present in all five of the Zhong lines, confirming that a Js chromosome carries WSMV resistance. Resistance to WCM may be linked with J or Js chromosomes. The discovery of high levels of resistance to both WSMV and WCM in Zhong 1 and Zhong 2 offers a useful source of resistance to both the virus and its vector for wheat breeding programs.Key words: GISH, genomic composition, J, Js and S genomes, Thinopyrum intermedium, partial amphiploid, WSMV, WCM resistance.

Although peroxisomes play an essential role in viral pathogenesis, and viruses are known to change peroxisome morphology, the role of genotype in the peroxisomal response to viruses remains poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the impact of wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) on the peroxisome proliferation in the context of pathogen response, redox homeostasis, and yield in two wheat cultivars, Patras and Pamir, in the field trials. We observed greater virus content and yield losses in Pamir than in Patras. Leaf chlorophyll and protein content measured at the beginning of flowering were also more sensitive to WSMV infection in Pamir. Patras responded to the WSMV infection by transcriptional up-regulation of the peroxisome fission genes PEROXIN 11C (PEX11C), DYNAMIN RELATED PROTEIN 5B (DRP5B), and FISSION1A (FIS1A), greater peroxisome abundance, and activation of pathogenesis-related proteins chitinase, and β-1,3-glucanase. Oppositely, in Pamir, WMSV infection suppressed transcription of peroxisome biogenesis genes and activity of chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase, and did not affect peroxisome abundance. Activity of ROS scavenging enzymes was higher in Patras than in Pamir. Thus, the impact of WMSV on peroxisome proliferation is genotype-specific and peroxisome abundance can be used as a proxy for the magnitude of plant immune response.
