Nineteen barley landraces collected from Morocco were screened for resistance to powdery mildew. The landraces originated from the collection at the Polish Gene Bank, IHAR Radzików, Poland. The fifteen landraces tested showed powdery mildew resistance reactions and 35 single plant lines were selected. Twenty-one of these lines were tested in the seedling stage with 30, four lines with 17 and another 10 lines with 23 differential isolates of powdery mildew, respectively. The isolates were chosen according to their virulence spectra observed on the Pallas isolines differential set. Nine lines (E 1029-1-1, E 1042-2-2, E 1050-1-1, E 1054-5-1, E 1056-2-5, E 1056-3-1, E 1061-1-1, E 1061-1-3 and E 1067-1-2) which originated from seven landraces showed resistance to all prevalent European powdery mildew virulence genes. The most frequent score was 2 and 16 lines showed this reaction for inoculation with most isolates used. The distribution of reaction type indicated that about 77% of all reaction types observed were classified as powdery mildew resistance (scores 0, 1 and 2). In all lines the presence of unknown genes alone or in combinations with specific ones was postulated. Four different resistance alleles ( Mlat , Mla6 , Mla14 and Mla12 ) were postulated to be present in 10 tested lines alone or in combination. Alleles Mlat , Mla6 and Mla14 were postulated to be present in four and Mla12 in two tested lines, respectively. The value of barley landraces for diversification of resistance genes for powdery mildew is discussed. 相似文献

Quantitative Analysis of the Early Powdery Mildew Infection Stages on Resistant Barley Genotypes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A classification system was developed, that allowed quantification of the leaf surface development of the barley powdery mildew fungus on barley. An experiment with Manchuria and Pallas as susceptible controls and 4 resistance gene each represented by three lines with different gene backgrounds showed two types of gene background effects. First a general effect comprised of different distributions of the elongating secondary hyphae (ESH) in the stomatal and interstomatal region between Manchuria and, Pallas, and a higher number of lobes per appressorium on Pallas than on Manchuria. These effects also applied to isolines of Manchuria and Pallas possessing each of the four genes investigated. Second a specific effect was noticed on the ESH frequency on Ml-k lines. The ESH frequency varied significantly at the 5% level between the highest and lowest value. An experiment with Pallas as susceptible control and Pallas isolines with 11 different resistance genes, showed that powdery mildew development was unaffected by host genotype until after the formation of an appressorium. The first host effect observed was on the number of lobes on the appressorium, which reflects the number of penetration attempts. This number increased as the degree of resistance increased, i.e. the ESH frequency decreased. The penetration stage also invariably proved to be the limiting stage, where the largest proportion of fungal propagules was stopped. 相似文献

Individual isolates (in total 4040) of Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei were collected between 1989 and 1991 in fields of spring barley varieties with resistance genes Mla9, Mla12 and Ml(La) in the local air spora, i.e. remote from barley fields, in Hesse, Germany. Their virulence pattern was determined on a 13-partite differential set. In the air spora. virulence complexity (the number of virulence genes per isolate) increased by 30% (4.2 vs. 5.5) between 1989 and 1991. This was mainly due to an increase of pathotypes with virulence genes Va7, Val3, Vk and V(La). In each mildew field population, frequencies of several non-corresponding virulence genes, e.g. V(La) on Mla9 variety, greatly increased during the period. Such change can be caused by hitchhiking selection, i.e. indirect selection resulting from asexual reproduction, and direct selection by non-corresponding resistance genes. To separate the two effects, the aerial barley mildew population of 1991 was sampled on cv. Pallas and near-isogenic lines of Pallas. Frequencies of non-corresponding virulence genes as observed in samples from the near-isogenic lines were compared to expected non-corresponding virulence frequencies which were obtained by subdividing the sample on Pallas into 12 subsamples, comprising all isolates virulent to line 1 through 12, respectively. Among 90 resistance/virulence gene combinations selection for non-cor-responding virulence was significant in five cases (e.g. Va9 on Mla7 host) and against non-corresponding virulence in nine cases (e.g. Vk on Ml(La) host). Hitchhiking selection was significant in eight cases. In 11 cases the two types of selection were significant in combination but not individually. It is suggested to monitor the stability of selection against non-corresponding virulence genes in race surveys and utilize it in diversified barley crops such as variety mixtures in order to retard the evolution of complex races. 相似文献

Powdery mildew, caused byEryisphe graminis f. sp.hordei, is one of the most important diseases of barley (Hordeum vulgare). A number of loci conditioning resistance to this disease have been reported previously. The objective of this study was to use molecular markers to identify chromosomal regions containing genes for powdery mildew resistance and to estimate the resistance effect of each locus. A set of 28 F1 hybrids and eight parental lines from a barley diallel study was inoculated with each of five isolates ofE. graminis. The parents were surveyed for restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) at 84 marker loci that cover about 1100 cM of the barley genome. The RFLP genotypes of the F1s were deduced from those of the parents. A total of 27 loci, distributed on six of the seven barley chromosomes, detected significant resistance effects to at least one of the five isolates. Almost all the chromosomal regions previously reported to carry genes for powdery mildew resistance were detected, plus the possible existence of 1 additional locus on chromosome 7. The analysis indicated that additive genetic effects are the most important component in conditioning powdery mildew resistance. However, there is also a considerable amount of dominance effects at most loci, and even overdominance is likely to be present at a number of loci. These results suggest that quantitative differences are likely to exist among alleles even at loci which are considered to carry major genes for resistance, and minor effects may be prevalent in cultivars that are not known to carry major genes for resistance. 相似文献

Seedlings of 4 barley lines with powdery mildew resistance genes Ml-a1, Ml-a6 Ml-a12 and Ml-g were inoculated with powdery mildew culture CR3 which is avirulent to the 4 host lines. The inoculation density was 1.2 infectious conidia per mm2, and in total 50 million conidia were screened for the occurrence of virulent mutans. During 30 cycles of screening, 43 putative virulent mutants were selected, multiplied and tested. They could be grouped in 5 different genotypes according to virulence spectrum. Based on the virulence spectre, mating type, biochemical tests and analyses of test crosses, 3 of the types were rejected as being of mutational origin, and the verification of the remaining 2 were not consistent with the expectations deduced from a gene-for-gene interaction. Provided that none of the genotypes found were of mutational origin, the spontaneous mutation frequency from avirulence to virulence in barley powdery mildew is therefore below 2 × 10–8. A reconstructation experiment showed that the density of avirulent inoculum did not reduce the survival rate of rate virulent genotypes 相似文献

Isozyme Variation and Genetic Diversity of the European Barley Powdery Mildew Population 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Isozyme and virulence analyses of Erysiphe graminis bordei were performed with samples collected from different sites from nearly all over Europe. Isozymes and unspecific proteins extracted from conidia were separated by starch gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing, respectively, and the resulting isozyme banding patterns were compared with the corresponding virulence data. One isozyme phenotype prevailed in all samples. Only 7.9% of 280 isolates showed divergent banding patterns. Expected frequencies of isolates with divergent banding patterns were calculated for each subsample. In the Italian subsample, isolates with divergent banding patterns were significantly more frequent than expected. At the same time, isolates from Italy had significantly fewer virulence factors than those from N.W. Europe, indicating weaker selection by host resistance genes. It is suggested that isozyme uniformity in the homogeneous north-western European barley powdery mildew population has arisen from strong selection pressures for specific virulence genes. The direction of this selection, acting upon a mainly asexually reproducing population, has changed over space and time due to the introduction of new resistance genes, forcing local populations through bottlenecks. This may have led to random loss of genetic variation (genetic drift) in the barley powdery mildew gene pool. 相似文献

Cambridge Composite Cross Five (CCV) of barley was studied utilising hordeins, restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and reaction to powdery mildew with a view to understanding the genetic changes occurring in the population. Changes in the frequency of individual hordein patterns as well as pattern combinations showed directional trends in successive generations in three parallel populations maintained as discrete populations since 1977 in Cambridge. Certain hordein pattern combinations were more common in the resistance classes and there was a strong association between hordein patterns and mildew reaction. RFLP analysis revealed that 80% of a random sample taken from generation F24 of Population I had the same restriction pattern as that of the cultivar Algerian, which was one of the original 30 parental lines of CCV. This cultivar is the source of the Mla1 allele in barley improvement programmes in Europe. We argue, based on supporting evidence from hordein analysis and tests of reaction to selected mildew isolates of known virulence isolates together with UK virulence surveys, that selection for Mla1 in Cambridge has been the predominant evolutionary force in CCV in Cambridge. 相似文献

Effect of three suppressors on the expression of powdery mildew resistance genes in barley 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
J H J?rgensen 《Génome》1996,39(3):492-498
Three recessive mutagen-induced alleles that partially suppress the phenotypic expression of the semidominant powdery mildew resistance gene Mla12 have been studied. When each suppressor is present in homozygous condition, the infection type 0, conferred by gene Mla12 when homozygous, is changed to intermediate infection types. The three suppressor lines were crossed with seven near-isogenic lines with different powdery mildew resistance genes and one, M100, was crossed with nine additional lines. Seedlings of parents and from the F1and F2 generations were tested with powdery mildew isolates that possessed the appropriate avirulence and virulence genes. The segregation of phenotypes in the F2 generation disclosed that the three suppressors affected the phenotypic expression of three resistance genes, whereas that of four resistance genes remained unaffected. The suppressor in mutant M100 affected the phenotypic expression of 9 of the 10 additional resistance genes present. It is suggested that the three suppressors are mutationally modified genes involved in host defence processes. This implies that different resistance genes employ different, but overlapping, spectra of defence processes, or signal transduction pathways.

A single nucleotide polymorphism in the wheat powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici) cytochrome b gene is responsible for resistance to inhibitors of the quinol outer binding site of the cytochrome bc1 complex (QoI) fungicides. Analysis of a partial sequence of the cytochrome b gene from field isolates resistant and sensitive to QoI fungicides revealed the same point mutation in barley powdery mildew (B. graminis f. sp. hordei). Analysis of 118 and 40 barley powdery mildew isolates using a cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence assay and denaturing high performance liquid chromatography, respectively, confirmed that this single nucleotide polymorphism also confers resistance to QoI fungicides in barley powdery mildew. 相似文献

In the year 1992 a total of 163 isolates of wheat powdery mildew were tested. The samples of mildew isolates were obtained
by means of a mobile spore catching apparatus. The populations from 4 regions of Slovakia and 3 regions of Hungary were analyzed.
The resistance due toPm5, Pm8 andMl-i genes at the observed locations has already been overcome. The resistance genesPm1, Pm2 and a gene combinationPm2+Pm6 ensure the protection only against a part of the patho-types of powdery mildew population. Virulence corresponding to thePm4b gene has been low so far. The regional patterns of pathogen virulence are in good agreement with the gene resistance spectrum
by the cultivars grown regionally. Little differences in virulence among the populations from the regions of Slovakia and
Hungary indicate that this part of Eastern Europe should be considered as an epidemiologic unit. 相似文献

Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis is an important disease of cereals in many production regions. Until end of the last century triticale had been regarded as a species characterized by high level of resistance for this disease. However, after several years of intensive production on a big area in Poland, Germany and other European countries it start to be susceptible for many pathogens including B. graminis. Because of this, virulence structure of this pathogen population on triticale in Poland was evaluated across 2008–2010. Leaf samples with symptoms of the powdery mildew disease were collected randomly from nineteen localities. As a total, 1402 B. graminis isolates were collected: 23–25 isolates per locality in each year. Standard differential set of 28 genotypes was used: twenty‐one wheat with known resistance genes and seven triticale. Based on the obtained results it was possible to observe significant differences in virulence structure between years and localities. No virulence's against Pm21 (Yangmai5), and Pm3d + 4b (Kadett) were found in any year. All tested isolates were virulent on Moreno and Lamberto cultivars. In a total, 36% of tested isolates possessed 9, 11 or 12 virulence's per genotypes. Twenty five percent of tested isolates were virulent to 5 triticale cultivars. Correlation between pathotypes frequency and sampling region were not found what suggest that local epidemics play the most important role in triticale growing regions in Poland. 相似文献

Background
Powdery mildew of barley is a wind-borne and obligate biotrophic pathogen, which ranks among the most widespread barley pathogens worldwide. However, purposeful research towards studying the structure of the barley powdery mildew populations, of their virulence and of effectiveness of certain resistance genes against the infection was not conducted in Kazakhstan till present time. This paper is the first to describe characteristics of the pathotype structure of Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei (Bgh) population and effectiveness of resistance genes in two regions of barley cultivation in the republic.Results
One hundred and seven isolates of Bgh were obtained from seven populations occurring on cultivated barley at two geographically locations in Kazakhstan during 2015 and 2016. Their virulence frequency was determined on 17 differential lines Pallas. All isolates were virulent on the resistance gene Mla8 and avirulent for the resistance genes Mla9, Mla1 + MlaAl2, Mla6 + Mla14, Mla13 + MlRu3, Mla7 + MlNo3, Mla10 + MlDu2, Mla13 + MlRu3 and Mlo-5. The frequencies of isolates overcoming the genes Mla3, Mla22, Mlat Mlg + MlCP and Mla12 + MlEm2 were 0.0–33.33%, and frequencies of isolates overcoming the genes Mlra, Mlk, MlLa and Mlh ranged from 10.0 to 78.6%. Based on reactions of differential lines possessing the genes Mla22, Mlra, Mlk, Mlat, MlLa and Mlh, pathotypes were identified. In total, 23 pathotypes with virulence complexity ranging from 1 to 6 were identified. During both years in all populations of South Kazakhstan and Zhambyl regions pathotypes 24 and 64 mainly prevailed.Conclusions
Obtained data suggest that low similarity of populations Bgh in Kazakhstan to European, African, Australian and South-East Asian populations. The present study provides a foundation for future studies on the pathogenic variability within of Bgh populations in Kazakhstan and addresses the knowledge gap on the virulence structure of Bgh in Central Asia. Complete effectiveness of the resistance genes, for which no corresponding virulence was found, will allow Kazakhstanean breeders to access many modern barley cultivars that those possessing the resistance effectiveness genes.13.

Resistance to causal agents of diseases is an important varietal characteristic that influences the management practice of
crop plants and thus production costs of commodities. At present, almost all European barley varieties possess at least one
major gene for resistance to powdery mildew. After hybridizing selected parental varieties, resistance genes often segregate
in subsequent generations and, therefore, some varieties comprise lines that differ in the number or combinations of resistance
genes. The objective of this research was to describe the various methods available for postulating resistance genes to pathogens
in heterogeneous varieties using resistance to powdery mildew of barley as an example. Four spring barleys (‘Orbit’, ‘Malva’,
‘Tocada’ and CLE 233), and a six-row variety of winter barley, F 12872, were screened. For postulating resistance genes, several
testing procedures and many Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei isolates were used. Minimum amounts of seed were determined and different methods of obtaining homogeneous seed samples from
heterogeneous varieties were compared. It was found that ‘Orbit’ and ‘Malva’ are composed of three and ‘Tocada’, CLE 233 and
F 12872 of two lines with different resistances to powdery mildew. Problems of postulating resistance genes in heterogeneous
varieties and the advantages of testing leaf segments instead of young plants are discussed. 相似文献

The semi-dominantly acting Mlg resistance locus in barley confers race-specific resistance to the obligate biotrophic fungus Erysiphe graminis f.sp. hordei. A high-resolution genetic map was constructed at Mlg based on a cross between the near-isogenic barley lines Pallas BC5
Mlg and Pallas mlg. A total of 2000 F2 progeny were inspected by cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) analysis, defining a 4.47 cM interval encompassing
the resistance locus. Pathogen challenge of the segregants with multiple powdery mildew isolates uncovered a novel resistance
specificity in Pallas BC5
Mlg. Probes from within 4.0 cM of Mlg were mapped in rice, revealing orthologues on five different rice chromosomes and suggesting multiple breaks of chromosomal
collinearity in this region between the two grass species. The most tightly Mlg-linked RFLP marker, MWG032, was shown to reliably detect the presence of the resistance allele in a collection of 30 European
barley cultivars.

The occurrence and distribution of seedling resistance genes and the presence of adult plant resistance to powdery mildew, was investigated in a collection of 155 Nordic bread wheat landraces and cultivars by inoculation with 11 powdery mildew isolates. Eighty-nine accessions were susceptible in the seedling stage, while 66 accessions showed some resistance. Comparisons of response patterns allowed postulation of combinations of genes Pm1a, Pm2, Pm4b, Pm5, Pm6, Pm8 and Pm9 in 21 lines. Seedling resistance was three times more frequent in spring wheat than in winter wheat. The most commonly postulated genes were Pm1a+Pm2+Pm9 in Sweden, Pm5 in Denmark and Norway, and Pm4b in Finland. Forty-five accessions were postulated to carry only unidentified genes or a combination of identified and unidentified genes that could not be resolved by the 11 isolates. Complete resistance to all 11 isolates was present in 18 cultivars. Adult plant resistance was assessed for 109 accessions after natural infection with a mixture of races. In all, 92% of the accessions developed less than 3-5% pathogen coverage while nine lines showed 10-15% infected leaf surface. The characterization of powdery mildew resistance in Nordic wheat germplasm could facilitate the combination of resistance genes in plant breeding programmes to promote durability of resistance and disease management. 相似文献

We used a well-characterized barley mapping population (BCD 47 × Baronesse) to determine if barley stripe rust (BSR) resistance quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapped in Mexico and the USA were effective against a reported new race in Peru. Essentially the same resistance QTL were detected using data from each of the three environments, indicating that these resistance alleles are effective against the spectrum of naturally occurring races at these sites. In addition to the mapping population, we evaluated a germplasm array consisting of lines with different numbers of mapped BSR resistance alleles. A higher BSR disease severity on CI10587, which has a single qualitative resistance gene, in Peru versus Mexico suggests there are differences in pathogen virulence between the two locations. Confirmation of a new race in Peru will require characterization using a standard set of differentials, an experiment that is underway. The highest levels of resistance in Peru were observed when the qualitative resistance gene was pyramided with quantitative resistance alleles. We also used the mapping population to locate QTL conferring resistance to barley leaf rust and barley powdery mildew. For mildew, we identified resistance QTL under field conditions in Peru that are distinct from the Mla resistance that we mapped using specific isolates under controlled conditions. These results demonstrate the long-term utility of a reference mapping population and a well-characterized germplasm array for locating and validating genes conferring quantitative and qualitative resistance to multiple pathogens. 相似文献

Filamentous phytopathogens, such as fungi and oomycetes, secrete effector proteins to establish successful interactions with their plant hosts. In contrast with oomycetes, little is known about effector functions in true fungi. We used a bioinformatics pipeline to identify Blumeria effector candidates (BECs) from the obligate biotrophic barley powdery mildew pathogen, Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei (Bgh). BEC1–BEC5 are expressed at different time points during barley infection. BEC1, BEC2 and BEC4 have orthologues in the Arabidopsis thaliana‐infecting powdery mildew fungus Golovinomyces orontii. Arabidopsis lines stably expressing the G. orontii BEC2 orthologue, GoEC2, are more susceptible to infection with the non‐adapted fungus Erysiphe pisi, suggesting that GoEC2 contributes to powdery mildew virulence. For BEC3 and BEC4, we identified thiopurine methyltransferase, a ubiquitin‐conjugating enzyme, and an ADP ribosylation factor‐GTPase‐activating protein (ARF‐GAP) as potential host targets. Arabidopsis knockout lines of the respective HvARF‐GAP orthologue (AtAGD5) allowed higher entry levels of E. pisi, but exhibited elevated resistance to the oomycete Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis. We hypothesize that ARF‐GAP proteins are conserved targets of powdery and downy mildew effectors, and we speculate that BEC4 might interfere with defence‐associated host vesicle trafficking. 相似文献

Wheat powdery mildew is controlled mainly by race-specific resistance. To be effective, breeding wheat for resistance to powdery mildew requires knowledge of virulence diversity in local populations of the pathogen. Isolates of Blumeria graminis, collected in 2009 and 2010 from three areas of Iranian production, were analysed for virulence using a host differential series comprised of 16 known genes conferring resistance to powdery mildew. The results showed that high-virulence frequencies to genes Pm1, Pm2, Pm4a, Pm5, Pm6, Pm7, Pm8 and Pm9 were found over both years and across all three areas. Virulence frequencies for Pm3a and Pm3b were intermediate, while virulence frequencies for Pm3a, Pm3c, Pm4a and Pm2, 6 were low. Genes Pm1, 2, 9 and Pm2, 4b, 8 were highly resistant in all regions. Virulence to Pm8 increased to high levels, while virulence to Pm4a decreased across the area surveyed from 2009 to 2010. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to map new resistance genes against powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei L.), leaf rust (Puccinia hordei L.) and scald [Rhynchosporium secalis (Oud.) J. Davis] in the advanced backcross doubled haploid (BC2DH) population S42 derived from a cross between the spring barley cultivar Scarlett and the wild barley accession ISR42-8 (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum). Using field data of disease severity recorded in eight environments under natural infestation and genotype data of 98 SSR loci, we detected nine QTL for powdery mildew, six QTL for leaf rust resistance and three QTL for scald resistance. The presence of the exotic QTL alleles reduced disease symptoms by a maximum of 51.5, 37.6 and 16.5% for powdery mildew, leaf rust and scald, respectively. Some of the detected QTL may correspond to previously identified qualitative (i.e. Mla) and to quantitative resistance genes. Others may be newly identified resistance genes. For the majority of resistance QTL (61.0%) the wild barley contributed the favourable allele demonstrating the usefulness of wild barley in the quest for resistant cultivars. 相似文献

Hordeum bulbosum L. is a source of disease resistance genes that would be worthwhile transferring to barley (H. vulgare L.). To achieve this objective, selfed seed from a tetraploid H. vulgare x H. bulbosum hybrid was irradiated. Subsequently, a powdery mildew-resistant selection of barley phenotype (81882/83) was identified among field-grown progeny. Using molecular analyses, we have established that the H. bulbosum DNA containing the powdery mildew resistance gene had been introgressed into 81882/83 and is located on chromosome 2 (2I). Resistant plants have been backcrossed to barley to remove the adverse effects of a linked factor conditioning triploid seed formation, but there remains an association between powdery mildew resistance and non-pathogenic necrotic leaf blotching. The dominant resistance gene is allelic to a gene transferred from H. bulbosum by co-workers in Germany, but non-allelic to all other known powdery mildew resistance genes in barley. We propose Mlhb as a gene symbol for this resistance. 相似文献
