Identification of the major QTL QPm.cas-7D for adult plant resistance to wheat powdery mildew.

ABSTRACT: Developing effective and durable host plant resistance is crucial for controlling powdery mildew, a devastating disease caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt). In the present study, we dissected the genetic basis of the adult plant resistance to powdery mildew using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) composed of 176 F₉ RILs population derived from a cross between PuBing 3228 (P3228) and susceptible cultivar Gao 8901. P3228 exhibits stable adult-plant resistance to powdery mildew in the field over consecutive years. We identified two QTLs on chromosomes 7DS (QPm.cas-7D) and 1AL (QPm.cas-1A) contributed by P3228, and one QTL on 3DS (QPm.cas-3D) contributed by Gao 8901, which could explain 65.44%, 3.45%, and 2.18% of the phenotypic v
