玉米自交系CML470抗南方锈病基因的定位

南方锈病是我国玉米产区的主要病害,玉米抗病品种的利用是控制其为害的一条最为安全和经济的途径。但是,在我国当前的玉米育种中,所利用的玉米南方锈病基因多来自美国杂交种78599等。为寻找新的南方锈病抗病基因,本研究对CIMMYT自交系CML470的抗性进行了遗传分析。结果发现CML470的抗性由一个显性抗病基因（定名为RppC）控制,该抗病基因被定位于10号染色体短臂端部,位于SSR标记umc1380和umc1291之间,分别与两标记相距3.5 cM和8.8 cM。通过回交,并利用分子标记辅助选择,RppC被转移到了优良自交系昌7-2中。

南方玉米锈病抗病基因的定位及不同遗传背景对基因标记的比较分析

玉米自交系齐319高抗南方玉米锈病。利用SSR标记技术和BSA分析对齐319抗南方玉米锈病基因进行了标记分析,结果表明SSR标记phi041和phi118与齐319抗南方锈病基因连锁,其遗传距离分别为7.69cM和8.55cM。因此南方玉米锈病抗病基因定位于玉米10号染色体短臂上。本研究进行的抗病基因标记,选择使用了两个杂交组合的3个分离群体,标记结果显示同一杂交组合的不同分离群体其标记结果是一致的,而不同组分分离群体的标记结果有显著差异,这可能与基因的遗传背景相关。因此,在进行基因标记分析时,选择合适的分离群体是至关重要的。

Genetic analysis of resistance to six virus diseases in a multiple virus-resistant maize inbred line

Key message

Novel and previously known resistance loci for six phylogenetically diverse viruses were tightly clustered on chromosomes 2, 3, 6 and 10 in the multiply virus-resistant maize inbred line, Oh1VI.

Abstract

Virus diseases in maize can cause severe yield reductions that threaten crop production and food supplies in some regions of the world. Genetic resistance to different viruses has been characterized in maize populations in diverse environments using different screening techniques, and resistance loci have been mapped to all maize chromosomes. The maize inbred line, Oh1VI, is resistant to at least ten viruses, including viruses in five different families. To determine the genes and inheritance mechanisms responsible for the multiple virus resistance in this line, F₁ hybrids, F₂ progeny and a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross of Oh1VI and the virus-susceptible inbred line Oh28 were evaluated. Progeny were screened for their responses to Maize dwarf mosaic virus, Sugarcane mosaic virus, Wheat streak mosaic virus, Maize chlorotic dwarf virus, Maize fine streak virus, and Maize mosaic virus. Depending on the virus, dominant, recessive, or additive gene effects were responsible for the resistance observed in F₁ plants. One to three gene models explained the observed segregation of resistance in the F₂ generation for all six viruses. Composite interval mapping in the RIL population identified 17 resistance QTLs associated with the six viruses. Of these, 15 were clustered in specific regions of chr. 2, 3, 6, and 10. It is unknown whether these QTL clusters contain single or multiple virus resistance genes, but the coupling phase linkage of genes conferring resistance to multiple virus diseases in this population could facilitate breeding efforts to develop multi-virus resistant crops.     

Identification and mapping of a new powdery mildew resistance gene on chromosome 6D of common wheat

Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is one of the most serious wheat diseases. The rapid evolution of the pathogen's virulence, due to the heavy use of resistance genes, necessitates the expansion of resistance gene diversity. The common wheat line D57 is highly resistant to powdery mildew. A genetic analysis using an F(2) population derived from the cross of D57 with the susceptible cultivar Yangmai 158 and the derived F(2:3) lines indicated that D57 carries two dominant powdery mildew resistance genes. Based on mapping information of polymorphic markers identified by bulk segregant analysis, these two genes were assigned to chromosomes 5DS and 6DS. Using the F(2:3) lines that segregated in a single-gene mode, closely linked PCR-based markers were identified for both genes, and their chromosome assignments were confirmed through linkage mapping. The gene on chromosome 5DS was flanked by Xgwm205 and Xmag6176, with a genetic distance of 8.3 cM and 2.8 cM, respectively. This gene was 3.3 cM from a locus mapped by the STS marker MAG6137, converted from the RFLP marker BCD1871, which was 3.5 cM from Pm2. An evaluation with 15 pathogen isolates indicated that this gene and Pm2 were similar in their resistance spectra. The gene on chromosome 6DS was flanked by co-segregating Xcfd80 and Xmag6139 on one side and Xmag6140 on the other, with a genetic distance of 0.7 cM and 2.7 cM, respectively. This is the first powdery mildew resistance gene identified on chromosome 6DS, and plants that carried this gene were highly resistant to all of the 15 tested pathogen isolates. This gene was designated Pm45. The new resistance gene in D57 could easily be transferred to elite cultivars due to its common wheat origin and the availability of closely linked molecular markers.     

Molecular mapping in tropical maize (Zea mays L.) using microsatellite markers. 1. Map construction and localization of loci showing distorted segregation

Microsatellites have become the most important class of markers for mapping procedures. Primarily based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers, several molecular genetic maps of maize have been developed, mainly using temperate inbred maize lines. To characterize the level of polymorphism of microsatellite loci and construct a genetic map in tropical maize, two elite inbred lines, L-08-05F and L-14-4B, were crossed to produce 400 F(2) individuals that were used as a mapping population. A survey of 859 primer pair sequences of microsatellites was used. The polymorphism screens of each microsatellite and genotype assignment were performed using high-resolution agarose gels. About 54 % of the primer sets gave clearly scorable amplification products, 13 % did not amplify and 33 % could not be scored on agarose gels. A total of 213 polymorphic markers were identified and used to genotype the mapping population. Among the polymorphic markers, 40 showed loci deviating from expected Mendelian ratios and clusters of deviating markers were located in three chromosome regions. Non-Mendelian scoring was present in 19 markers. The final genetic map with 117 markers spanned 1634 cM in length with an average interval of 14 cM between adjacent markers.     

拔节期与抽穗期玉米抗纹枯病相关QTL的初步定位

以玉米自交系R15(抗)×478(感)的F_2分离群体为作图群体,构建了包含146个SSR标记位点的遗传连锁图谱,覆盖玉米基因组1666 cM,平均图距11．4 cM。通过麦粒嵌入法对229个F_(2：4)家系进行人工接种纹枯病菌,于玉米拔节期和抽穗期进行纹枯病的抗性鉴定。应用复合区间作图法分析两个时期的抗病QTL及遗传效应。结果共检测到17个抗性QTL,其中以拔节期病情指数为指标共检测到9个QTL,分别位于第1、2、3、4、5、6、和10染色体上,可解释的表型变异为3．72%-9．26%;以抽穗期的病情指数为指标共在7条染色体上检测到10个抗玉米纹枯病的QTL,分布于第2、3、4、5、6、8和9染色体上。单个QTL可解释的表型变异为4．27%-9．27%。两个时期共检测出2个共同QTL,它们分别位于第2染色体的bnlgl662-bnlg1940区间和第6染色体的umc1006-umc1723区间。定位结果表明两个时期检测出的抗性QTL的差异表达与玉米不同发育时期基因的时空表达有密切关系,从而反映在纹枯病的抗性位点差异性上．这为玉米抗病选育提供新的信息。     

转人工miRNA抗玉米粗缩病毒载体玉米的培育及其抗病能力

Molecular tagging and genetic mapping of the disease resistance gene<Emphasis Type="Italic"> RppQ</Emphasis> to southern corn rust

Southern corn rust (SCR), Puccinia polysora Underw, is a destructive disease in maize (Zea mays L.). Inbred line Qi319 is highly resistant to SCR. Results from the inoculation test and genetic analysis of SCR in five F₂ populations and five BC₁F₁ populations derived from resistant parent Qi319 clearly indicate that the resistance to SCR in Qi319 is controlled by a single dominant resistant gene, which was named RppQ. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) analysis was carried out in an F₂ population derived from the cross Qi319×340. Twenty SSR primer pairs evenly distributed on chromosome10 were screened at first. Out of them, two primer pairs, phi118 and phi 041, showed linkage with SCR resistance. Based on this result, eight new SSR primer pairs surrounding the region of primers phi118 and phi 041 were selected and further tested regarding their linkage relation with RppQ. Results indicated that SSR markers umc1,318 and umc 2,018 were linked to RppQ with a genetic distance of 4.76 and 14.59 cM, respectively. On the other side of RppQ, beyond SSR markers phi 041 and phi118, another SSR marker umc1,293 was linked to RppQ with a genetic distance of 3.78 cM. Because the five linkage SSR markers (phi118, phi 041, umc1,318, umc 2,018 and umc1,293) are all located on chromosome 10, the RppQ gene should also be located on chromosome 10. In order to fine map the RppQ gene, AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) analysis was carried out. A total 54 AFLP primer combinations were analyzed; one AFLP marker, AF1, from the amplification products of primer combination E-AGC/M-CAA, showed linkage with the RppQ gene in a genetic distance of 3.34 cM. Finally the RppQ gene was mapped on the short arm of chromosome 10 between SSR markers phi 041 and AFLP marker AF1 with a genetic distance of 2.45 and 3.34 cM respectively.Communicated by H. F.

Fine mapping of the Bsr1 barley stripe mosaic virus resistance gene in the model grass Brachypodium distachyon

The ND18 strain of Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) infects several lines of Brachypodium distachyon, a recently developed model system for genomics research in cereals. Among the inbred lines tested, Bd3-1 is highly resistant at 20 to 25 °C, whereas Bd21 is susceptible and infection results in an intense mosaic phenotype accompanied by high levels of replicating virus. We generated an F(6:7) recombinant inbred line (RIL) population from a cross between Bd3-1 and Bd21 and used the RILs, and an F(2) population of a second Bd21 × Bd3-1 cross to evaluate the inheritance of resistance. The results indicate that resistance segregates as expected for a single dominant gene, which we have designated Barley stripe mosaic virus resistance 1 (Bsr1). We constructed a genetic linkage map of the RIL population using SNP markers to map this gene to within 705 Kb of the distal end of the top of chromosome 3. Additional CAPS and Indel markers were used to fine map Bsr1 to a 23 Kb interval containing five putative genes. Our study demonstrates the power of using RILs to rapidly map the genetic determinants of BSMV resistance in Brachypodium. Moreover, the RILs and their associated genetic map, when combined with the complete genomic sequence of Brachypodium, provide new resources for genetic analyses of many other traits.     

Identification of microsatellite markers linked to Russian wheat aphid resistance genes Dn4 and Dn6

The Russian wheat aphid (RWA), Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko), is a serious economic pest of wheat worldwide. Host plant resistance is the preferred method to control RWA infestations. The identification and mapping of RWA-resistant genes and the development of resistant wheat cultivars can be facilitated through the use of molecular markers. In the present study, microsatellite (SSR) markers linked to the RWA-resistant genes Dn4 and Dn6 were identified using several F(2) mapping populations derived from crosses of susceptible wheat cultivars and resistant sources. Two flanking microsatellite markers Xgwm106 and Xgwm337 are linked in coupling phase with Dn4 on the short arm of wheat chromosome 1D at 7.4 cM and 12.9 cM, respectively. Two other microsatellite markers Xgwm44 and Xgwm111 are linked to Dn6 in coupling phase near the centromere on the short arm of chromosome 7D at 14.6 cM and 3.0 cM, respectively. This is the first report on the chromosomal location of Dn6, which proved to be either allelic or tightly linked to Dn1, Dn2 and Dn5. This result of Dn6 location contradicts previous reports that Dn6 was independent of Dn1, Dn2 and Dn5. The linked markers can be conveniently used for marker-assisted selection in wheat breeding programs for the identification and/or pyramiding of Dn4 and Dn6 genes.
