AC Klinck is a six-row, spring feed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar developed by the Eastern Canada Barley Breeding Group, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. It has high yield, high seed weight, and a moderate level of resistance to powdery mildew and barley yellow dwarf virus. AC Klinck performs well in Ontario, Canada. Key words: Barley, Hordeum vulgare L., cultivar description, high yield, powdery mildew, barley yellow dwarf virus

Abstract Wheat (Triticumaestivum) relatives are sources of useful genes for disease resistance. Chromosomally segregating populations of intergeneric hybrids between wheat and its distantly related species provide opportunity to study and introgress multiple disease resistance. While introgressing resistance to barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) from Thinopyrum into wheat, which is susceptible to BYDV, we scored powdery mildew (Erysiphaegraminis) and leaf rust (Pucciniatriticina) resistance, and chromosome numbers in second and third backcrosses (BC2 and BC3) of intergeneric hybrids of wheat with Thinopyrum ponticum and Thinopyrumintermedium. The frequency of multiple resistance to all the three diseases was low or became low when selection was applied for BYDV resistance and low chromosome numbers. Selection for fewer alien chromosomes while maintaining BYDV resistance was more effective in wheat x T. intermedium than in the wheat x T. ponticum cross. Mean chromosome numbers were significantly different in BC3 generation between BYDV resistant and susceptible plants in both crosses. Significant negative correlations between chromosome numbers and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) values showed that as the critical Thinopyrum chromosome(s) were eliminated, susceptibility to BYDV increased. Results indicated that it is unlikely that genes for full resistance to all three diseases can be transferred simultaneously from Thinopyrum to wheat.

Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) causes an often-devastating disease of cereals that is most effectively controlled by using plant genotypes that are resistant or tolerant to the virus. New barley lines Vir8:3 and Vir13:8, with pyramided resistance genes against different pathogens and resistance gene Ryd2 against BYDV, are currently being tested. Because microRNAs (miRNAs) are associated with antiviral plant defense, here we compared the miRNA profiles in these lines and in cultivar Wysor (carrying one resistance gene, Ryd2), with and without BYDV infection and after feeding by virus-free aphids, to determine whether the miRNA profile in the resistant variety bear similarities with the newly developed lines. The BYDV titer for each group was also determined and compared to the titer in sensitive cultivar Graciosa. Among 746 miRNAs identified in barley, 66 were known miRNAs, and 680 were novel. The expression of 73 miRNAs differed significantly after BYDV infection, including the strong, specific upregulation of novel miRNA10778 that was conserved across all the barley genotypes. This miRNA belongs to the H box and ACA box (H/ACA) snoR14 family of RNAs (Rf01280) and is associated with pseudourydilation. The expression of 48 miRNAs also differed depending on the barley genotype. The profile of miRNAs expressed in Vir8:3 and Vir13:8 in response to BYDV was similar and differed from that of Wysor. Insights into the expression patterns of miRNAs in response to BYDV in barley provided here will benefit further studies toward understanding the resistance mechanisms and developing novel strategies against virus infections.
