Identification and Validation of Quantitative Trait Loci for Wheat Dwarf Virus Resistance in Wheat (Triticum spp.).

ABSTRACT: Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) is transmitted by the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus. As a major pathogen in wheat and other cereals, WDV causes high yield losses in many European countries. Due to climate change, insect-transmitted viruses will become more important and the restrictions in the use of insecticides efficient against P. alienus renders growing of WDV resistant/tolerant varieties the only effective strategy to control WDV. So far, there is little information about the possible sources of resistance and no known information about the genome regions responsible for the resistance. In a screening for WDV resistance using artificial inoculation in gauze houses, a panel of 500 wheat accessions including cultivars, gene bank accessions, and wild relatives of wheat was
