GENETIC ANALYSIS OF POWDERY MILDEW RESISTANCE GENE USING SSR MARKERS IN COMMON WHEAT ORIGINATED FROM WILD EMMER (Triticum dicoccoides Thell)

Mamoudou SAIDOU, Changyou WANG, Md. Ashraful ALAM, Chunhuan CHEN, Wanquan JI

Abstract

Common wheat line N0324, derived from the cross wild emmer (Triticum dicoccoides Thell) accession 5055 and Shaan 253, provides effective protection to powdery mildew. Analysis of 205 individuals in the segregating F2 population generated by crossing N0324 with the susceptible cultivar Shaanyou 225 revealed that resistance in N0324 line was controlled by a single recessive gene designated temporarily as Pm5055. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) and simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were used to characterize the powdery mildew resistance gene Pm5055. Four SSR markers such as Xwmc441, Xbarc7, Xbarc13 and Xbarc55 were linked to the gene with genetic distances of 10.6, 23, 23 and 23.9 cM, respectively. Chinese Spring nulli-tetrasomic and ditelosomic lines were used to assign the chromosomal locations of the linked markers. The results suggested that this gene might be located on chromosome 2B. Pm5055 can be used to diversify powdery mildew resistance sources in future wheat breeding programs.

Effects of Different Water Stress Levels on Biomass Yield and Agronomic Traits of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) Varieties under Semi-Arid Conditio

Erdal GONULAL, Suleyman SOYLU, Mehmet SAHIN

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in the Wielkopolska region at the Gorzyń Research Station, Poland (52.34°N, 15.54°E) in Central Europe. The study was conducted over a 3-year period (2017, 2018, 2019) as a two-factorial design with four replications in the RCBD. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the cultivar (‘Bolero’, ‘Tytan’) and the inoculation (Nitragina–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora I–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora II–soil inoculation, HiStick® Lupin–seeds inoculation) on plant development, seeds chemical composition and yielding of narrow-leaved lupin. The weather conditions and experimental factors significantly influenced on productivity of narrow-leaved lupin ‘Tytan’. Drought during the growing season reduced seeds and protein yields. After inoculation of HiStck the seeds yield was significantly greater by 12.4% (p < 0.01) and the protein yield after application of Nitroflora I or HiStick by 13.9% (p < 0.01) and 19.2% (p < 0.01), respectively. Correlation coefficients showed strong relations between number of pods and seeds per plant in both cultivars regardless of the inoculation variant, however the strongest relations in both cultivar were proved on HiStick treatment.
