Abstract: In order to study the function and mechanism of the resistance gene of wheat leaf rust,seeds of wheat TcLr19 was treated by EMS.The leaf rust resistance and agronomic traits were investigated and phenotypic mutants were identified in M1 and M2.A total of 367 individual plants were obtained in M1 with different concentrations of EMS.According to the emergence rate,seed rate and mutation rate,EMS 1.0% was considered the optimum concentration.In 2 359 M2 mutant,a total of 38 phenotype mutations were screened out with 1.61% mutation rate,and a total of 53 susceptible mutations to Puccinia triticina were screened out with 2.25% mutation rate.A total of 146 susceptible plants were obtained in 459 M3 susceptible populations,especially M36-2,M333-8,M333-9,M333-11,M344-4 and M396-8,and the frequency of susceptible mutation were more than 70%.Furthermore,Lr19 molecular marker-assisted selection was also used in order to guarantee the reliability of the results in the test.The results showed that EMS treatment was an effective method in screening of mutants susceptible to P.triticina.The result not only provided important genetic resources for wheat leaf rust resistance gene cloning and functional genomic research,but also provided new germplasms in wheat breeding.
