Abstract
Stripe rust, also known as yellow rust, is a significant threat to wheat yield worldwide. Adult plant resistance (APR) is the preferred way to obtain durable protection. Chinese winter wheat cultivar Xinong1376 has maintained acceptable APR to stripe rust in field environments. To characterize APR in this cultivar, 190 F10 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from Xiaoyan81 × Xinong1376 were evaluated for infection type and disease severity in fields either artificially or naturally inoculated. The population along with parents were genotyped using the Illumina 90K single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays. Six quantitative trait loci (QTL) were detected using the inclusive composite interval mapping method. QYr.nwafu-4AL and QYr.nwafu-6BL.3 conferred stable resistance in all environments, and likely corresponded to a gene-rich region on the long arm of chromosomes 4A and 6B. QYr.nwafu-5AL, QYr.nwafu-5BL, QYr.nwafu-3BL.1, and QYr.nwafu-3BL.2 were detected only in some environments but enhanced the level of resistance conferred by QYr.nwafu-4AL and QYr.nwafu-6BL.3. Kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers developed for QYr.nwafu-4AL and QYr.nwafu-6BL.3 were confirmed in a subset of RILs and 133 wheat genotypes. The QTL on 4AL and 6BL with their linked KASP markers would be useful for marker-assisted selection to improve stripe rust resistance in breeding programs.
