Powdery mildew is caused by an obligate parasite Erysiphe pisi and considered as one of the most important constraints causing yield reductions in pea. Development and utilization of genetic resistance is acknowledged as the most effective, economic and environmental friendly method of control. Therefore, development of cultivars with improved resistance to biotic stresses is a primary goal of plant breeding programs throughout the world. Three monogenic sources er1, er2 and Er3 have been described to govern the powdery mildew disease resistance. Several markers have been reported linked to resistant genes at varying distances in different mapping populations. Genetic markers linked to the disease resistance gene make the breeding process more efficient for the use of Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) strategy to aid in obtaining a complete powdery mildew resistance in pea.

AbstractPowdery mildew is one of the most widespread diseases of wheat. Breeding resistant varieties by utilization of resistance genes is considered as the most economic and effective method of controlling this disease. Previous study showed that the gene(s) at 2Mb in Chinese Spring (CS)-Aegilops biuncialis 2Mb disomic addition line TA7733 conferred high resistance to powdery mildew. In this study, 15 Bgt isolates prevalent in different regions of China were used to further test the resistance spectrum of TA7733. As a result, TA7733 was high resistance to all tested isolates, indicating that the gene(s) on chromosome 2Mb was broad-spectrum powdery mildew resistance. In order to mine resistance gene candidates and develop 2Mb-specific molecular markers to assist the transfer resistance gene(s) at chromosome 2Mb, RNA-seq of TA7733 and CS was conducted before and after Bgt-infection, generating a total of 158,953 unigenes. Of which, 7,278 unigenes were TA7733-specific which were not expressed in CS, and 295 out of these 7,278 unigenes were annotated as R genes. Based on Blastn against with CS Ref Seq v1.0, 61 R genes were further mapped to homoeologous group 2. Analysis of R gene-specific molecular markers designed from R gene sequences verified 40 out of 61 R genes to be 2Mb specific. Annotation of these 40 R genes showed most genes encoded nucleotide binding leucine rich repeat (NLR) protein, being most likely resistance gene candidates. The broad-spectrum powdery mildew resistance gene(s), disease resistance gene candidates, and functional molecular markers of 2Mb-specific in present study will not only lay foundations for transferring disease resistance gene(s) from 2Mb to common wheat by inducing CS-Ae. biuncialis homoeologous recombination, but also provide useful candidates for isolating and cloning resistance gene(s) and dissecting molecular and genetic mechanisms of disease resistance from 2Mb.

Seedlings from three interspecific backcross rose populations derived from a F1 population were used to study inheritance of several traits in roses. Three F1 plants (WOB13, WOB21, and WOB26) from the hybridization of the diploid parents Rosa wichuraiana and `Old Blush' were backcrossed to `Old Blush' to produced three populations to observe the segregation of several morphological and disease resistance traits. The segregating rose traits in the backcrosses are no prickles on stems, non-recurrent blooming habit, white single flowers, black spot resistance, and powdery mildew resistance present in the Rosa wichuraiana parent compared to prickles on stems, recurrent blooming habit, pink double flowers, black spot susceptible, and powdery mildew susceptible present in the `Old Blush' parent. Visual data was collected for the segregating traits using color standards and rating scales as appropriate. The three populations expressed the segregating traits to varying degrees. Under the environmental conditions at College Station, Texas the population `Old Blush' × WOB26 had a greater expression of the traits for no prickles on stems, recurrent blooming habit, disease resistance to black spot, and disease resistance to powdery mildew, which are traits desired in breeding programs. The segregation of flower color (white/pink), and flower type (single, semi double, and double) were similar in all three populations.
