Genome-wide association of an organic naked barley diversity panel identified quantitative trait loci for disease resistance.

ABSTRACT: Foliar fungal diseases are a major limitation in organic naked barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) production. The lack of conventional fungicides in organic systems increases reliance on genetic resistance. We evaluated the severity of barley stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei Westend), leaf rust (Puccina hordei sp. hordei), spot blotch (Cochliobolus sativus, anamorph Bipolaris sorokiniana (S. Ito & Kurib.) Drechsler ex Dastur), and scald (Rhynchosporium commune Zaffarano, McDonald and Linde sp. nov) on a naked barley diversity panel of 350 genotypes grown in 13 environments to identify quantitative trait loci associated with disease resistance. Genome-wide association analyses across and within environments found 10 marker trait associations for barley stripe rust, four marker trait
