Unveiling resistance expression profile to powdery mildew in wheat via Bulked Segregant RNA-Seq.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Developing wheat cultivars with durable resistance to powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is crucial for sustainable agriculture. The wheat genotype MYC exhibited high resistance to the Bgt isolate E09 at the seedling stage. Genetic analysis identified a recessive gene, temporarily named PmMYC, responsible for this resistance. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance is essential for advancing breeding programs.

Results

Bulked Segregant RNA-Seq revealed numerous alternative splicing events generated following Bgt infection, suggesting powdery mildew may disrupt alternative splicing and affect immune responses. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis indicated significant enrichment of differentially expressed genes in "re
