Abstract:To detect molecular markers linked to wheat powdery mildew resistance gene Pm2, microsatellite (simple sequence repeats, SSR) markers and bulked segregant analysis (BSA) method were used in the F2 segregation population derived from the F1 of between common wheat susceptible cultivar Chancellor and Pm2 near-isogonics line (NIL). The polymorphisms were revealed by 12 from 71 pairs SSR primers originally assigned to chromosome 5D of wheat between NIL of Pm2 and Chancellor. The polymorphic bands were found by 7 of these 12 SSR primers between the resistant and susceptible DNA pools, and the resistant and susceptible plants of the F2 population, respectively. These specific DNA bands were designated as Xcfd189360, Xcfd29190, Xcfd8160, Xcfd102250, Xcfd7200, Xcfd57245 and Xgwm190210, respectively. The genetic distance between these marks and Pm2 was 0, 1.5, 2.3, 5.4, 10.2, 31.5 and 54.3 cM, respectively. On the genetic linkage map of Pm2, Xcfd189360 was shown to co-segregate with the Pm2 gene, and markers Xcfd29190, Xcfd8160 and Xcfd102250 were closely linked to it. These markers can be used as the molecular assisted selection (MAS) for Pm2.
