Abstract:To reveal mechanism of seedling resistance to stripe rust in wheat translocation line M853-4 derived from Leymus mollis (Trin.) Hara, F2, F3 seeds derived from the cross of the wheat translocation line M853-4 and a susceptible variety Mingxian 169, and seedling resistance of M853-4 and it’s progenies to stripe rust was analyzed by artificial inoculation with races of the pathogen Su-11 in the greenhouse. The results suggested that M853-4 had one dominant gene and one recessive gene conferred resistance to Su-11. Using one segregation line from F3 family which had one dominant gene to Su-11 as SSR mapping population, four SSR markers, Xgwm44, Xwmc650, Barc170 and Xwmc718, from 320 pairs of SSR primer, on chromosome 4AL were found linked to the resistance gene (temporarily designated as YrLm2), the genetic distances of four markers to YrLm2 were 15.0, 5.0, 3.9, and 3.1cM, respectively. The dominant gene YrLm2 was located in the long leg of 4A chromosome, the results of markers can be used in wheat molecular-assisted breeding.
