Genetic Basis Identification of a NLR Gene, TaRGA5-like, That Confers Partial Powdery Mildew Resistance in Wheat SJ106.

ABSTRACT: Wheat powdery mildew is an important fungal disease that seriously jeopardizes wheat production, which poses a serious threat to food safety. SJ106 is a high-quality, disease-resistant spring wheat variety; this disease resistance is derived from Wheat-wheatgrass 33. In this study, the powdery mildew resistance genes in SJ106 were located at the end of chromosome 6DS, a new disease resistance locus tentatively named PmSJ106 locus. This interval was composed of a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) gene cluster containing 19 NLR genes. Five NLRs were tandem duplicated genes, and one of them (a coiled coil domain-nucleotide binding site-leucine-rich repeat (CC-NBS-LRR; CNL) type gene, TaRGA5-like) expressed 69-836-fold in SJ106 compared with the susceptible control.
