Abstract
Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops in the world. The production and productivity of wheat is adversely affected by several diseases including leaf rust, which can cause yield losses, sometimes approaching >50%. In the present mini-review, we provide updated information on (i) all Lr genes including those derived from alien sources and 14 other novel resistance genes; (ii) a list of QTLs identified using interval mapping and MTAs identified using GWAS (particular those reported recently i.e., after 2018) and their association with known Lr genes; (iii) introgression/pyramiding of individual Lr genes in commercial/prominent cultivars from 18 different countries including India. Challenges and future perspectives of breeding for leaf rust resistance are also provided at the end of this mini-review. We believe that the information in this review will prove useful for wheat geneticists/breeders, not only in the development of leaf rust-resistant wheat cultivars, but also in the study of molecular mechanism of leaf rust resistance in wheat.

Characterization and Use in Wheat Breeding of Leaf Rust Resistance Genes from Durable Varieties. BIOLOGY 2021; 10:biology10111168. [PMID: 34827161 PMCID: PMC8615195 DOI: 10.3390/biology10111168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Revised: 10/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Simple Summary Wheat leaf rust is one of the most significant diseases worldwide, incited by a parasitic fungus which infects leaves, affecting grain yield. This pathogen is spread by the wind over large areas through microscopic spores. This huge number of spores favors the selection of virulent forms; therefore, there is a continuous need for new resistance genes to control this disease without fungicides. These resistant genes are naturally found in resistant wheat varieties and can be introduced by standard crosses. In this work, seven resistant genes were introduced into several commercial susceptible varieties. The selection of resistance genes was assisted by DNA markers that are close to these genes on the chromosome. Additionally, the selection of desirable traits from the commercial variety was also assisted by DNA markers to accelerate the process. In field testing, the varieties developed here were resistant to leaf rust, and suitable for commercial use. Abstract Leaf rust is one of the most significant diseases of wheat worldwide. In Argentina, it is one of the main reasons for variety replacement that becomes susceptible after large-scale use. Some varieties showed durable resistance to this disease, including Buck Manantial and Sinvalocho MA. RILs (Recombinant Inbred Lines) were developed for each of these varieties and used in genetics studies to identify components of resistance, both in greenhouse inoculations using leaf rust races, and in field evaluations under natural population infections. In Buck Manantial, the APR gene LrBMP1 was associated with resistance in field tests. In crosses involving Sinvalocho MA, four genes were previously identified and associated with resistance in field testing: APR (Adult Plant Resistance) gene LrSV1, the APR genetic system LrSV2 + LrcSV2 and the ASR (All Stage Resistance) gene LrG6. Using backcrosses, LrBMP1 was introgressed in four commercial susceptible varieties and LrSV1, LrSV2 + LrcSV2 and LrG6 were simultaneously introgressed in three susceptible commercial varieties. The use of molecular markers for recurrent parent background selection allowed us to select resistant lines with more than 80% similarity to commercial varieties. Additionally, progress towards positional cloning of the genetic system LrSV2 + LrcSV2 for leaf rust APR is reported.

Abstract
A complementary gene to LrSV2 for specific adult plant leaf rust resistance in wheat was mapped on chromosome 4BL, tightly linked to Lr12 / 31. LrSV2 is a race-specific adult plant leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) resistance gene on subdistal chromosome 3BS detected in the cross of the traditional Argentinean wheat (Triticum aestivum) variety Sinvalocho MA and the experimental line Gama6. The analysis of the cross of R46 [recombinant inbred line (RIL) derived from Sinvalocho MA carrying LrSV2 gene and the complementary gene Lrc-SV2 identified in the current paper] and the commercial variety Relmo Siriri (not carrying neither of these two genes) allowed the detection of the unlinked complementary gene Lrc-SV2 because the presence of one dominant allele of both is necessary to express the LrSV2-specific adult plant resistance. Lrc-SV2 was mapped within a 1-cM interval on chromosome 4BL using 100 RILs from the cross Sinvalocho MA × Purple Straw. This genetic system resembles the Lr27+31 seedling resistance reported in the Australian varieties Gatcher and Timgalen where interacting genes map at similar chromosomal positions. However, in high-resolution maps, Lr27 and LrSV2 were already mapped to adjacent intervals on 3BS and Lrc-SV2 map position on 4BL is distal to the reported Lr12/31-flanking microsatellites.

Abstract
Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is an important fungal disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and causes significant yield losses worldwide. To determine quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for leaf rust resistance, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population developed from a cross of Ning7840 × Clark was evaluated for leaf rust severity, and was genotyped for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using 9K Illumina chips, and with simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Two major QTLs on chromosome arms 7DS and 3BS, and two minor QTLs on chromosomes 5AS and 6AS showed a significant effect on leaf rust severity. The 7DS QTL from Ning7840 and the 3BS QTL from Clark explained, respectively, about 35% and 18% of the phenotypic variation for leaf rust resistance. The QTL on 7DS was confirmed to be Lr34. The QTL on 3BS, QLr.hwwg-3B.1, was associated with adult plant resistance and was provisionally identified as Lr74. QLr.hwwg-5AS and QLr.hwwg-6AS from Ning7840 and Clark, respectively, may correspond to previously described QTLs. Lr34, QLr.hwwg-3BS.1, and QLr.hwwg-6AS had an additive effect on leaf rust severity. RILs with all three favorable alleles showed the highest resistance to leaf rust and the RILs with none of them showed the lowest resistance.

PHYTOPATHOLOGY 2017; 107:1372-1380.

Abstract
CI13227 is a U.S. winter wheat line with adult-plant slow-rusting resistance that has been the subject of several studies on the characteristics and components of slow rusting. Previous genetic studies used different populations and approaches and came to different conclusions about the genetic basis of resistance in CI13227. To clarify the situation, a new doubled-haploid (DH) population of CI13227 × Lakin was produced and a linkage map was constructed using 5,570 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers derived from wheat 90K SNP assays and 84 simple sequence repeat markers. Three quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified for three slow-rusting traits on chromosome arms 2DS, 7AL, and 7BL from CI13227. A fourth QTL mapped on chromosome 3BS was from Lakin. The QTL on 2DS, designated QLr.hwwg-2DS, explained 11.2 to 25.6% of the phenotypic variation. It was found in the same position as a slow-rusting QTL in the CI13227 × Suwon 92 population in a previous study and, thus, verified the 2DS QTL. The QTL on chromosome 7BL explained 8.1 and 19.3% of the phenotypic variation and is likely to be Lr68. The other two QTL showed a minor effect on some of the traits evaluated in a single experiment. Flanking SNP closely linked to all QTL were converted to Kompetitive allele-specific polymerase chain reaction markers that can be used in marker-assisted selection to transfer these QTL into adapted wheat cultivars.

Abstract
Wheat accounts for 19% of the total production of major cereal crops in the world. In view of ever increasing population and demand for global food production, there is an imperative need of 40-60% increase in wheat production to meet the requirement of developing world in coming 40 years. However, both biotic and abiotic stresses are major hurdles for attaining the goal. Among the most important diseases in wheat, fungal diseases pose serious threat for widening the gap between actual and attainable yield. Fungal disease management, mainly, depends on the pathogen detection, genetic and pathological variability in population, development of resistant cultivars and deployment of effective resistant genes in different epidemiological regions. Wheat protection and breeding of resistant cultivars using conventional methods are time-consuming, intricate and slow processes. Molecular markers offer an excellent alternative in development of improved disease resistant cultivars that would lead to increase in crop yield. They are employed for tagging the important disease resistance genes and provide valuable assistance in increasing selection efficiency for valuable traits via marker assisted selection (MAS). Plant breeding strategies with known molecular markers for resistance and functional genomics enable a breeder for developing resistant cultivars of wheat against different fungal diseases.

Abstract
Selection for QLr.cau - 1AS (a major QTL detected in wheat for reducing leaf rust severity) based on the DNA marker gpw2246 was as effective as selection for Lr34 based on cssfr5. Leaf rust is an important disease of wheat worldwide. Utilization of slow-rusting resistance constitutes a strategy to sustainably control this disease. The American wheat cultivar Luke exhibits slow leaf-rusting resistance at the adult plant stage. The objectives of this study were to detect and validate QTL for the resistance in Luke. Three winter wheat populations were used, namely, 149 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the cross Luke × Aquileja, 307 RILs from Luke × AQ24788-83, and 80 F2:3 families selected from Lingxing66 × KA298. Aquileja and Lingxing66 are highly susceptible to leaf rust. AQ24788-83 shows high (susceptible) infection type but contains the slow-rusting gene Lr34 as diagnosed by the gene-specific marker cssfr5. KA298, an F9 RIL selected from Luke × AQ24788-83, contains Lr34 and QLr.cau-1AS (a major QTL originated from Luke, this study). These wheats were evaluated for leaf rust in 12 field and greenhouse environments involving four locations and five seasons. Genotyping was done using simple sequence repeat (SSR) and diversity arrays technology markers. Of the detected QTLs, QLr.cau-1AS was significant consistently across all the genetic backgrounds, test environments, and likely a wide range of pathogen races. QLr.cau-1AS explained 22.3-55.2% of leaf rust phenotypic variation, being comparable to Lr34 in effect size. A co-dominant SSR marker (gpw2246, http://wheat.pw.usda.gov/GG2/index.shtml ) was identified to be tightly linked to QLr.cau-1AS. Selection based on gpw2246 for QLr.cau-1AS was as effective as the selection based on cssfr5 for Lr34. QLr.cau-1AS will be helpful for increasing the genetic diversity of slow leaf-rusting resistance in wheat breeding programs.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE We detected several, most likely novel QTL for adult plant resistance to rusts. Notably three QTL improved resistance to leaf rust and stripe rust simultaneously indicating broad spectrum resistance QTL. The rusts of wheat (Puccinia spp.) are destructive fungal wheat diseases. The deployment of resistant cultivars plays a central role in integrated rust disease management. Durability of resistance would be preferred, but is difficult to analyse. The Austrian winter wheat cultivar Capo was released in the 1989 and grown on a large acreage during more than two decades and maintained a good level of quantitative leaf rust and stripe rust resistance. Two bi-parental mapping populations: Capo × Arina and Capo × Furore were tested in multiple environments for severity of leaf rust and stripe rust at the adult plant stage in replicated field experiments. Quantitative trait loci associated with leaf rust and stripe rust severity were mapped using DArT and SSR markers. Five QTL were detected in multiple environments associated with resistance to leaf rust designated as QLr.ifa-2AL, QLr.ifa-2BL, QLr.ifa-2BS, QLr.ifa-3BS, and QLr.ifa-5BL, and five for resistance to stripe rust QYr.ifa-2AL, QYr.ifa-2BL, QYr.ifa-3AS, QYr.ifa-3BS, and QYr.ifa-5A. For all QTL apart from two (QYr.ifa-3AS, QLr.ifa-5BL) Capo contributed the resistance improving allele. The leaf rust and stripe rust resistance QTL on 2AL, 2BL and 3BS mapped to the same chromosome positions, indicating either closely linked genes or pleiotropic gene action. These three multiple disease resistance QTL (QLr.ifa-2AL/QYr.ifa-2AL, QLr.ifa.2BL/QYr.ifa-2BL, QLr.ifa-3BS/QYr.ifa.3BS) potentially contribute novel resistance sources for stripe rust and leaf rust. The long-lasting resistance of Capo apparently rests upon a combination of several genes. The described germplasm, QTL and markers are applicable for simultaneous resistance improvement against leaf rust and stripe rust.

Abstract
Fine mapping permits the precise positioning of genes within chromosomes, prerequisite for positional cloning that will allow its rational use and the study of the underlying molecular action mechanism. Three leaf rust resistance genes were identified in the durable leaf rust resistant Argentinean wheat variety Sinvalocho MA: the seedling resistance gene Lr3 on distal 6BL and two adult plant resistance genes, LrSV1 and LrSV2, on chromosomes 2DS and 3BS, respectively. To develop a high-resolution genetic map for LrSV2, 10 markers were genotyped on 343 F2 individuals from a cross between Sinvalocho MA and Gama6. The closest co-dominant markers on both sides of the gene (3 microsatellites and 2 STMs) were analyzed on 965 additional F2s from the same cross. Microsatellite marker cfb5010 cosegregated with LrSV2 whereas flanking markers were found at 1 cM distal and at 0.3 cM proximal to the gene. SSR markers designed from the sequences of cv Chinese Spring BAC clones spanning the LrSV2 genetic interval were tested on the recombinants, allowing the identification of microsatellite swm13 at 0.15 cM distal to LrSV2. This delimited an interval of 0.45 cM around the gene flanked by the SSR markers swm13 and gwm533 at the subtelomeric end of chromosome 3BS.
