Abstract
The common wheat line 4N0461 showed adult-plant resistance to leaf rust. 4N0461 was crossed with susceptible cultivars Nongda4503 and Shi4185 to map the causal resistance gene(s). Segregation of leaf rust response in F2 populations from both crosses was 9 resistant:7 susceptible, indicative of two complementary dominant resistance genes. The genes were located on chromosome arms 3BS and 4BL and temporarily named LrN3B and LrN4B, respectively. Subpopulations from 4N0461 × Nongda4503 with LrN3B segregating as a single allele were used to fine-map LrN3B locus. LrN3B was delineated in a genetic interval of 0.07cM, corresponding to 106kb based on the Chinese Spring reference genome (IWGSC RefSeq v1.1). Four genes were annotated in this region, among which TraesCS3B02G014800 and TraesCS3B02G014900 differed between resistant and susceptible genotypes, and both were required for LrN3B resistance in virus-induced gene silencing experiments. Diagnostic markers developed for checking the polymorphism of each candidate gene, can be used for marker-assisted selection in wheat breeding programs.
