Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes in Resistant Tetraploid Wheat (Triticum turgidum) under Sitobion avenae (F.) Infestation.

ABSTRACT: The grain aphid Sitobion avenae (Fabricius) is one of the most destructive pests of wheat (Triticum aestivum). Deployment of resistant wheat germplasm appears as an excellent solution for this problem. Elite bread wheat cultivars only have limited resistance to this pest. The present study was carried out to investigate the potential of the tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum) variety Lanmai, which showed high resistance to S. avenae at both seedling and adult plant stages, as a source of resistance genes. Based on apterous adult aphids' fecundity tests and choice bioassays, Lanmai has been shown to display antixenosis and antibiosis. Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was employed to identify and isolate the putative candidate defense genes in Lanmai a
