Development and Characterization of Two Wheat-Rye Introgression Lines with Resistance to Stripe Rust and Powdery Mildew.

ABSTRACT: Rye (Secale cereale L.) genes, which contribute to the tertiary gene pool of wheat, include multiple disease resistance genes useful for the genetic improvement of wheat. Introgression lines are the most valuable materials for wheat breeding because of their small alien segments and limited or lack of linkage drag. In the present study, wheat-rye derivative lines SN21627-2 and SN21627-6 were produced via distant hybridization. A genomic in situ hybridization analysis revealed that SN21627-2 and SN21627-6 lack alien segments, while a multi-color fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis detected structural changes in both introgression lines. At the seedling and adult plant stages, SN21627-2 and SN21627-6 were highly resistant to stripe rust and powdery mildew. Primers for 86 PCR-b
