Functional Verification of Two Genes Related to Stripe Rust Resistance in the Wheat-Leymus mollis Introgression Line M8664-3.

ABSTRACT: Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most widespread and destructive fungal diseases of wheat worldwide. The cultivation and growth of resistant wheat varieties are the most economical, effective, and environmental friendly methods to control stripe rust. Therefore, it is necessary to use new resistance genes to breed resistant wheat varieties. A single dominant gene temporarily designated as YrM8664-3, from a wheat-Leymus mollis introgression line M8664-3 highly resistant to Chinese predominant Pst races, is a potentially valuable source of stripe rust resistance for breeding. Herein, based on previous YrM8664-3 chromosome location results (bin 4AL13-0.59-0.66 close to 4AL12-0.43-0.59) and expressi
