Wheat stripe rust is a devastating disease in many regions of the world.In wheat,49 resistance genes for stripe rust have been officially documented,but only three genes are cloned,including the race-specific resistance Yr10 candidate gene(Yr10_(CG)) and slow-rusting genes Lr34/Yr18(hereafter designated as Yr18) and Yr36.In this study,we developed gene-specific markers for these genes and used them to screen a collection of 659 wheat accessions,including 485 Chinese cultivars.Thirteen percent and eleven percent of the tested Chinese cultivars were positive for the markers for Yr10_(CG) and Yr18_(RH)(the resistant haplotype of Yr18),respectively,but none were positive for the Yr36 marker.Since there is a limited use of the Yr10 gene in Chinese wheat,the relatively high frequency of wheat varieties with the Yr10_(CG) marker suggests that the identity of the Yr10 gene is unknown.With regards to the Yr18 gene,29%of the tested cultivars that are used in the Middle and Lower Yangtze Valleys' winter wheat zone were positive for Yr18_(RH) markers.A non-functional allele of Yr18_(RH) was identified in 'Mingxian 169',a commonly used susceptible check for studying stripe rust.The data presented here will provide useful information for marker-assisted selection for wheat stripe rust resistance.

基因组靶向定位诱导损伤技术(Targeting Induced Local Lesions In Genomes,TILLING)是在化学诱变和PCR定向筛选基础上发展起来的检测点突变的反向遗传学研究方法,在多种重要农作物上都有应用。本研究使用化学诱变剂甲基磺酸乙酯(Ethyl methane sulfonate,EMS)处理大麦品种‘Tamalpais’,获得了2154个M2株系,同时开发了基于芹菜内切酶CEL I(celery juice extract)的酶切筛选体系。针对植物水杨酸抗病途径相关的两个重要基因EDR1和NPR1,检测到5个M2突变株系。序列分析表明,2个突变发生在内含子、1个NPR1基因的同义突变、2个EDR1基因的错义突变(His351Tyr和Pro556Ser)。本项研究为麦类作物反向遗传学研究奠定了基础。
