Abstract
  • Molecular tools, coupled with unique germplasm stocks and rigorous phenotyping, are useful for developing a better understanding of qualitative and quantitative disease resistance genes in plants. The identification of molecular markers linked to all types of resistance genes provides opportunities for implementing a range of resistance breeding strategies, ranging from gene pyramiding to gene deployment. This thesis consists of two chapters. The first describes a disease resistance gene mapping effort and the second describes a disease resistance gene introgression effort. The number, location, and effects of genes determining resistance to stripe rust, leaf rust and Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus were determined using a population of doubled haploid (DH) lines from the cross of Shyri x Galena. Resistance to leaf rust was qualitatively inherited, and the locus was mapped to the long arm of chromosome 1. Resistance to stripe rust and BYDV was quantitatively inherited. Multiple QTLs were detected for each type of resistance. The principal stripe rust resistance QTL was on the short arm of chromosome 5 and the principal BYDV resistance QTL was on the long arm of chromosome 1, linked in repulsion phase with the leaf rust resistance gene. Additional QTLs and QTL x QTL interactions were detected. The majority of the qualitative and quantitative resistance loci detected in the Shyri x Galena population coincided with Resistance Gene Analog Polymorphisms (RGAPs) mapped in the same population. These RGAPs were based on degenerate primers derived from cloned resistance gene sequence motifs. These associations should be useful for efficient resistance gene mapping and provide an approach for ultimately isolating and describing quantitative and qualitative resistance genes. The second chapter describes a molecular marker assisted selection (MMAS) effort to introgress stripe rust resistance QTLs on chromosomes 4 and 7 into susceptible germplasm. DH lines were derived form a MMAS backcross-one (BC-1) population, extensively phenotyped for stripe rust resistance, and genotyped for the introgressed QTLs and background genome. The resistance QTLs that were introgressed were significant determinants of resistance in the new genetic background. Additional resistance QTLs were also detected. Together, these chapters describe an integrated approach to disease resistance gene characterization and utilization.
