Abstract

AbstractA sequence‐tagged site marker has been developed from restriction fragment length polymorphism marker probe IAG95 for the rye‐derived powdery mildew resistance Pm8/Pm17 locus of common wheat. This polymerase chain reaction marker enables the amplification of DNA fragments with different sizes from T1AL.1RS and T1BL.1RS wheat‐rye translocation cultivars with chromatin from ‘Insave’ and ‘Petkus’ rye, respectively, and therefore will be very useful in distinguishing Pm8‐carrying cultivars from Pm17‐carrying cultivars. Results obtained with that marker were compared with resistance tests performed on detached primary leaves of 29 wheat lines from two populations derived from doubled haploid production. The molecular assay corresponded well with the resistance tests in all the lines, and therefore will be helpful for the identification of Pm17 in lines in which other Pm genes or quantitative trait loci are present.
