Stripe rust inflicted by the pathogen Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. hordei Eriks can cause marked grain yield reduction and deterioration of the malting quality in barley. Two barley genotypes, DWRB137 (DWR28/DWRUB64) and DWRB143 (DWRB73/DWR83) were identified as resistant (R) for three stripe rust races viz., 57 (0S0), M (1S0) and Q (5S0) at seedling and adult plant stages. These genotypes were crossed with two stripe rust susceptible (S) barley cultivars, RD2035 and Lakhan to study mode of inheritance of stripe rust resistance. All the F1 plants showed resistance against stripe rust race, 57 (0S0) indicating that the resistance (R) is dominant. The F2 generations derived from the crosses namely, Lakhan/DWRB137, Lakhan/DWRB143, RD2035/DWRB137 and RD2035/DWRB143 were tested with inoculum of race, 57 (0S0) under artificially inoculated conditions. The observed frequency of segregants in each F2 generation fit well in a theoretical ratio of 3(R):1(S) (χ 2(T) less than 0.01) indicating that the resistance against the tested race is controlled by a single dominant gene in the genotypes, DWRB137 and DWRB143. To validate the F2 hypothesis, the F3 progenies were also tested under above described conditions and followed discrete segregation of 1 (R): 2 (Segregating): 1(S) ratio in all the four crosses. Test of allelism was also conducted to establish the identity of resistance gene(s) present in the resistant genotypes. The F2 population derived from DWRB137/DWRB143 (R × R) cross fit to 15(R):1(S) ratio showing that the two genotypes had different resistance genes.

Wheat stripe rust, an airborne fungal disease and caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most devastating diseases on wheat. It is the most effective and economical measure for the diseases control to identify high-level resistance genes and apply in wheat breeding. Chinese wheat cultivar Xike01015 presents high levels of all stage resistance (ASR) to the current predominant Pst race CYR33. In this study, a single dominant gene, designated as YrXk, was identified in Xike01015 conferring resistance to CYR33 with genetic analysis of F2 and BC1 population from cross of Mingxian169 (susceptible) and Xike01015. The specific length amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq) strategy was used to construct linkage map in the F2 population. QTL analysis mapped YrXk to a 12.4 Mb segment on chromosome1BS, explaining over 86.96% phenotypic variance. Gene annotation in the QTL region identified three differential expressed candidate genes , TraesCS1B02G168600.1, TraesCS1B02G170200.1, and TraesCS1B02G172400.1. The qRT-PCR results displayed that TraesCS1B02G170200.1 and TraesCS1B02G168600.1 significantly up-regulated and down-regulated, respectively, and TraesCS1B02G170200.1 slightly up-regulated after changed with CYR33 in the seedling stage, which indicating these genes may function in wheat resistance to stripe rust. The results of this study can be used in wheat breeding for improving resistance to stripe rust.

Stripe rust caused by the biotrophic fungus Puccinia striiformis Westend. is one of the most important diseases of wheat worldwide, causing high yield and quality losses. Growing resistant cultivars is the most efficient way to control stripe rust, both economically and ecologically. Known resistance genes are already present in numerous cultivars worldwide. However, their effectiveness is limited to certain races within a rust population and the emergence of stripe rust races being virulent against common resistance genes forces the demand for new sources of resistance. Multiparent advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) populations have proven to be a powerful tool to carry out genetic studies on economically important traits. In this study, interval mapping was performed to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for stripe rust resistance in the Bavarian MAGIC wheat population, comprising 394 F6 : 8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs). Phenotypic evaluation of the RILs was carried out for adult plant resistance in field trials at three locations across three years and for seedling resistance in a growth chamber. In total, 21 QTL for stripe rust resistance corresponding to 13 distinct chromosomal regions were detected, of which two may represent putatively new QTL located on wheat chromosomes 3D and 7D.

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.

ABSTRACT: Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis is one of the most destructive diseases of wheat worldwide. CH5389 is a wheat-Thinopyrum intermedium derived line conferring stripe rust resistance. Genetic analyses of seedlings of F2 populations and F2:3 families developed by crossing CH5389 and susceptible common wheat revealed that stripe rust resistance in CH5389 was controlled by a single dominant gene that was designated YrCH5389. Eight SSR and EST-PCR polymorphic markers on chromosome 3AL were identified in F2 population of CH5389/Taichung29. The YrCH5389 was flanked by EST marker BE405348 and SSR marker Xwmc388 on chromosome 3AL with genetic distances of 2.2 and 4.6 cM, respectively. Comparative genomic analysis demonstrated that the orthologous genomic region of YrCH5389 covered 990 kb in rice, 640 kb in Brachypodium, and 890 kb in sorghum. Based on the locations of the markers, the resistance gene was located to chromosome deletion bin 3AL-0.85-1.00. Because there are no officially named stripe rust resistance genes on the 3AL chromosome, the YrCH5389 should be designated as a new resistance gene. These linkage markers could be useful for marker-assisted selection in wheat resistance breeding.

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.

Wheat stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) is a major disease that damages wheat plants and affects wheat yield all over the world. In recent years, stripe rust became a major problem that affects wheat yield in Egypt. New races appeared and caused breakdowns in the resistant genotypes. To improve resistance in the Egyptian genotypes, new sources of resistance are urgently needed. In the recent research, a set of 95 wheat genotypes collected from 19 countries, including Egypt, were evaluated for their resistance against the Egyptian race(s) of stripe rust under field conditions in the two growing seasons 2018/2019 and 2019/2020. A high genetic variation was found among the tested genotypes. Single marker analysis was conducted using a subset of 71 genotypes and 424 diversity array technology (DArT) markers, well distributed across the genome. Out of the tested markers, 13 stable markers were identified that were significantly associated with resistance in both years (p-value ≤ 0.05). By using the sequence of the DArT markers, the chromosomal position of the significant DArT markers was detected, and nearby gene models were identified. Two markers on chromosomes 5A and 5B were found to be located within gene models functionally annotated with disease resistance in plants. These two markers could be used in marker-assisted selection for stripe rust resistance under Egyptian conditions. Two German genotypes were carrying the targeted allele of all the significant DArT markers associated with stripe rust resistance and could be used to improve resistance under Egyptian conditions.

The New Zealand wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Karamu (same parentage as the US cv. Anza) was originally believed to carry gene Yr18, which provides adult plant resistance to stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici), in addition to the seedling resistance gene YrA. Following the detection of virulence to the stripe rust resistance gene YrA in 1995, much of the resistance of Karamu was eroded and the cultivar suffered from occasional severe stripe rust outbreaks. This meant that either one or more new races of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici with virulence to Yr18 had developed, or that Yr18 conferred inadequate resistance under high disease pressure. Karamu was crossed with cv. Otane, which carries Yr18, and 140 double haploid (DH) lines obtained from the F1 progeny were evaluated for seedling and adult plant resistance under greenhouse and field conditions. Evaluation of F1 plants against stripe rust pathotype 106E139A+ revealed that the resistance was recessive and that none of the resistance genes present was effective at the seedling stage. Segregation in the DH lines at the adult plant stage indicated that the resistance measured through infection type in both the greenhouse and the field was based on 3 genes, 1 from Karamu and 2 from Otane. However, the resistance gene from Karamu did not contribute towards resistance measured through final disease severity, but acted additively with genes from Otane in providing slow-rusting resistance as expressed by lower values for area under the disease progress curve. It was concluded that Karamu does not have gene Yr18, but rather possesses a recessive minor gene, which explains its adult plant susceptibility under high disease pressure. However, this Karamu gene did interact with Otane resistance genes to provide increased resistance.

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.

Randhawa, H., Puchalski, B. J., Frick, M., Goyal, A., Despins, T., Graf, R. J., Laroche, A. and Gaudet, D. A. 2012. Stripe rust resistance among western Canadian spring wheat and triticale varieties. Can. J. Plant Sci. 92: 713–722. Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis Westend.) is an important pathogen of wheat in western Canada and worldwide. One hundred and four spring wheat and triticale varieties and cultivars were evaluated for resistance to stripe rust in nurseries at Lethbridge and Creston, BC, during 2009 and 2010. In the Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) wheat class, newer varieties were more resistant compared with many of the older varieties. Among the white Canada Prairie Spring White (CPSW) wheats, Vista was moderately resistant, whereas Snowhite475 and Snowhite476 were susceptible. Little useful resistance was observed within the Canada Western Hard White Spring (CWHWS) class. Sixty percent of the Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheats, including the currently popular varieties Lillian, Harvest and Kane, were resistant. Susceptible CWRS varieties that are extensively seeded in western Canada include AC Barrie, Superb and McKenzie, but also include the recently registered CDC Kernen and Vesper. The varieties were tested for the presence of the stripe rust genes Yr10, Yr17, Yr18 and Yr36 using molecular markers. Much of the stripe rust resistance, particularly in the CWRS, Canada Western Extra Strong (CWES), and CPSR wheat classes was attributed to the presence of adult plant resistance gene Yr18. Yr17 and Yr36 were also detected among CWRS and CWES varieties. However, the absence of markers for known genes in several resistant varieties indicated that uncharacterized genes for stripe rust occur among hexaploid wheats. Durum wheat and triticale varieties were universally resistant with the absence of tested markers. Therefore, there appear to be numerous sources of stripe rust resistance, both characterized and uncharacterized, among western Canadian spring wheat and triticale varieties.

Stripe rust (incited by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei) and stem rust (incited by P. graminis f. sp. tritici) are two of the most important diseases affecting barley. Building on prior work involving the introgression of the resistance genes rpg4/Rpg5 into diverse genetic backgrounds and the discovery of additional quantitative trait locus (QTLs) for stem rust resistance, we generated an array of germplasm in which we mapped resistance to stripe rust and stem rust. Stem rust races TTKSK and QCCJB were used for resistance mapping at the seedling and adult plant stages, respectively. Resistance to stripe rust, at the adult plant stage, was determined by QTLs on chromosomes 1H, 4H, and 5H that were previously reported in the literature. The rpg4/Rpg5 complex was validated as a source of resistance to stem rust at the seedling stage. Some parental germplasm, selected as potentially resistant to stem rust or susceptible but having other positive attributes, showed resistance at the seedling stage, which appears to be allelic to rpg4/Rpg5. The rpg4/Rpg5 complex, and this new allele, were not sufficient for adult plant resistance to stem rust in one environment. A QTL on 5H, distinct from Rpg5 and a previously reported resistance QTL, was required for resistance at the adult plant stage in all environments. This QTL is coincident with the QTL for stripe rust resistance. Germplasm with mapped genes/QTLs conferring resistance to stripe and stem rust was identified and is available as a resource to the research and breeding communities.
