Abstract:

Wheat leaf rust and wheat powdery mildew are two important diseases in the world.Cultivating and planting disease resistant varieties is the most economical and effective method to control these two diseases.In order to test the distribution of wheat leaf rust resistance gene Lr21,the molecular marker closely linked to Lr21 was used to detect 1 200 wheat varieties(lines),and 23 wheat varieties(lines)were detected to contain Lr21.The molecular markers related to other leaf rust resistance genes were used to detect 23 wheat materials,Lr20 gene was detected in Gaoyou 2018,Lr37 gene was detected in Aifeng 8,Jingdong 22,Zhongmai 175,Luyuan 205 and Tang Y958,and Lr46 gene was detected in Jinan 17.No wheat varietie(line)was detected to contain Lr9,Lr10,Lr19,Lr24 or Lr34.Resistance evaluation of 23 wheat varieties(lines)containing Lr21 was identified using the epidemic races of Puccinia triticina(Pt)and Blumeria graminis f.sp.tritici(Bgt),respectively.The results showed that seven wheat varieties(lines)were resistant to both Pt and Bgt,with a frequency of 30.43%,and six wheat varieties(lines)were susceptible to Pt and Bgt mildew at the same time,and the frequency was 26.09%.Taken together,Lr21 was detected in 1 200 wheat cultivars(lines),as well as the presence of other rust resistance genes,and further evaluated their resistance to Pt and Bgt,which will provide a theoretical basis for the selection of multi-resistant wheat.
