Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Xinong 511, a new wheat-Thinopyrum ponticum variety with excellent fusarium head blight resistance, the QTLs were mapped to the wheat chromosomes 5B and 7A with named QFhb.nwafu-5B and QFhb.nwafu-7A, respectively. Novel Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance germplasms and genes are valuable for wheat improvement and breeding efforts. Thinopyrum ponticum, a wild relative of common wheat, is a valuable germplasm of disease resistance for wheat improvement and breeding. Xinong 511 (XN511) is a high-quality wheat variety widely cultivated in the Yellow and Huai Rivers Valley of China with stable FHB-resistance. Through analysis of pedigree materials of the wheat cultivar XN511, we found that the genetic material and FHB resistance from Th. ponticum were transmitted to the introgression line, indicating that the FHB resistance in XN511 likely originates from Th. ponticum. To further explore the genetic basis of FHB resistance in XN511, QTL mapping was conducted using the RILs population of XN511 and the susceptible line Aikang 58 (AK58). Survey with makers closely-linked to Fhb1, Fhb2, Fhb4, Fhb5, and Fhb7, indicated that both XN511 and the susceptible lines do not contain these QTL. Using bulked segregant analysis RNA-seq (BSR-Seq) and newly developed allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) markers, QTLs in XN511 were successfully located on wheat chromosomes 5B and 7A. These findings are significant for further understanding and utilizing FHB resistance genes in wheat improvement.

Abstract
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is a serious disease that threatens wheat production globally. It is imperative to explore novel resistance genes to control this disease by developing and planting resistant varieties. Here, we identified a wheat-Dasypyrum villosum 3V (3D) disomic substitution line, NAU3815 (2n = 42), with a high level of powdery mildew resistance at both the seedling and adult-plant stages. Subsequently, NAU3815 was used to generate recombination between chromosomes 3V and 3D. Through genomic in situ hybridization (GISH), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and 3VS- and 3VL-specific markers analysis, four introgression lines were developed from the selfing progenies of 3V and 3D double monosomic line NAU3816, which was derived from the F1 hybrids of NAU3815/NAU0686. There were t3VS (3D) ditelosomic substitution line NAU3817, t3VL (3D) ditelosomic substitution line NAU3818, homozygous T3DL·3VS translocation line NAU3819, and homozygous T3DS·3VL translocation line NAU3820. Powdery mildew tests of these lines confirmed the presence of an all-stage and broad-spectrum powdery mildew resistance gene, Pm3VS, located on chromosome arm 3VS. When compared with the recurrent parent NAU0686 plants, the T3DL·3VS translocation line NAU3819 showed no obvious negative effect on yield-related traits. However, the introduction of the T3DL·3VS translocated chromosome had a strong effect on reducing the flag-leaf length. Consequently, the T3DL·3VS translocation line NAU3819 provides a new germplasm in breeding for both resistance and plant architecture.

Abstract
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is a destructive wheat disease pathogen. Thinopyrum elongatum is a valuable germplasm including diploid, tetraploid, and decaploid with plenty of biotic and abiotic resistance. In a previous study, we generated a stripe rust-resistant wheat-tetraploid Th. elongatum 1E/1D substitution line, K17-841-1. To further apply the wild germplasm for wheat breeding, we selected and obtained a new homozygous wheat-tetraploid Th. elongatum translocation line, T1BS⋅1EL, using genomic in situ hybridization, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), oligo-FISH painting, and the wheat 55K single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping array. The T1BS⋅1EL is highly resistant to stripe rust at the seedling and adult stages. Pedigree and molecular marker analyses revealed that the resistance gene was located on the chromosome arm 1EL of tetraploid Th. elongatum, tentatively named Yr1EL. In addition, we developed and validated 32 simple sequence repeat markers and two kompetitive allele-specific PCR assays that were specific to the tetraploid Th. elongatum chromosome arm 1EL to facilitate marker-assisted selection for alien 1EL stripe rust resistance breeding. This will help us explore and locate the stripe rust resistance gene mapping on the 1E chromosome and deploy it in the wheat breeding program.

Abstract
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is one of the most destructive fungal diseases threatening global wheat production. Exploring powdery mildew resistance (Pm) gene(s) and dissecting the molecular mechanism of the host resistance are critical to effectively and reasonably control this disease. Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durumDesf.) is an important gene donor for wheat improvement against powdery mildew. In this study, a resistant durum wheat accession W762 was used to investigate its potential resistance component(s) and profile its expression pattern in responding to Bgt invasion using bulked segregant RNA-Seq (BSR-Seq) and further qRT-PCR verification. Genetic analysis showed that the powdery mildew resistance in W762 did not meet monogenic inheritance and complex genetic model might exist within the population of W762 × Langdon (susceptible durum wheat). After BSR-Seq, 6,196 consistently different single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were called between resistant and susceptible parents and bulks, and among them, 763 SNPs were assigned to the chromosome arm 7B. Subsequently, 3,653 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between resistant and susceptible parents and bulks were annotated and analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO), Cluster of Orthologous Groups (COG), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment. The potential regulated genes were selected and analyzed their temporal expression patterns following Bgt inoculation. As a result, nine disease-related genes showed distinctive expression profile after Bgt invasion and might serve as potential targets to regulate the resistance against powdery mildew in W762. Our study could lay a foundation for analysis of the molecular mechanism and also provide potential targets for the improvement of durable resistance against powdery mildew.

Chromosomal mapping of a major genetic locus from Agropyron cristatum chromosome 6P that influences grain number and spikelet number in wheat. TAG. THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS. THEORETISCHE UND ANGEWANDTE GENETIK 2024; 137:82.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE A novel locus on Agropyron cristatum chromosome 6P that increases grain number and spikelet number was identified in wheat-A. cristatum derivatives and across 3 years. Agropyron cristatum (2n = 4x = 28, PPPP), which has the characteristics of high yield with multiple flowers and spikelets, is a promising gene donor for wheat high-yield improvement. Identifying the genetic loci and genes that regulate yield could elucidate the genetic variations in yield-related traits and provide novel gene sources and insights for high-yield wheat breeding. In this study, cytological analysis and molecular marker analysis revealed that del10a and del31a were wheat-A. cristatum chromosome 6P deletion lines. Notably, del10a carried a segment of the full 6PS and 6PL bin (1-13), while del31a carried a segment of the full 6PS and 6PL bin (1-8). The agronomic characterization and genetic population analysis confirmed that the 6PL bin (9-13) brought about an increase in grain number per spike (average increase of 10.43 grains) and spikelet number per spike (average increase of 3.67) over the three growing seasons. Furthermore, through resequencing, a multiple grain number locus was mapped to the physical interval of 593.03-713.89 Mb on chromosome 6P of A. cristatum Z559. The RNA-seq analysis revealed the expression of 537 genes in the del10a young spike tissue, with the annotation indicating that 16 of these genes were associated with grain number and spikelet number. Finally, a total of ten A. cristatum-specific molecular markers were developed for this interval. In summary, this study presents novel genetic material that is useful for high-yield wheat breeding initiatives to meet the challenge of global food security through enhanced agricultural production.

Abstract
Rye (Secale cereale), a valuable relative of wheat, contains abundant powdery mildew resistance (Pm) genes. Using physical mapping, transcriptome sequencing, barley stripe mosaic virus-induced gene silencing, ethyl methane sulfonate mutagenesis, and stable transformation, we isolated and validated two coiled-coil, nucleotide-binding site and leucine-rich repeat (CC-NBS-LRR) alleles, PmTR1 and PmTR3, located on rye chromosome 6RS from different triticale lines. PmTR1 confers age-related resistance starting from the three-leaf stage, whereas its allele, PmTR3, confers typical all-stage resistance, which may be associated with their differential gene expression patterns. Overexpression in Nicotiana benthamiana showed that the CC, CC-NBS, and CC-LRR fragments of PMTR1 induce cell death, whereas in PMTR3 the CC and full-length fragments perform this function. Luciferase complementation imaging and pull-down assays revealed distinct interaction activities between the CC and NBS fragments. Our study elucidates two novel rye-derived Pm genes and their derivative germplasm resources and provides novel insights into the mechanism of age-related resistance, which can aid the improvement of resistance against wheat powdery mildew.

Abstract
Common wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the most widely cultivated and consumed crops globally. In the face of limited arable land and climate changes, it is a great challenge to maintain current and increase future wheat production. Enhancing agronomic traits in wheat by introducing mutations across all three homoeologous copies of each gene has proven to be a difficult task due to its large genome with high repetition. However, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated nuclease (Cas) genome editing technologies offer a powerful means of precisely manipulating the genomes of crop species, thereby opening up new possibilities for biotechnology and breeding. In this review, we first focus on the development and optimization of the current CRISPR-based genome editing tools in wheat, emphasizing recent breakthroughs in precise and multiplex genome editing. We then describe the general procedure of wheat genome editing and highlight different methods to deliver the genome editing reagents into wheat cells. Furthermore, we summarize the recent applications and advancements of CRISPR/Cas technologies for wheat improvement. Lastly, we discuss the remaining challenges specific to wheat genome editing and its future prospects.

Abstract
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is a devastating disease that seriously threatens wheat yield and quality. To control this disease, host resistance is the preferred measure. However, wheat breeding is a complex process with elusive exchange and recombination of the traits from their parents. Increased resistance often leads to a decline in other key traits, such as yield and quality. Developing breakthrough germplasms with harmonious powdery mildew resistance and other key breeding traits is attractive in wheat breeding. In this study, we developed an ideal wheat breeding line AL46 that pyramided its hexaploid triticale parent-derived desirable yield traits and its wheat parent-derived powdery mildew resistance gene Pm2. Sequential genomic in situ hybridization (GISH), multicolor GISH, multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization, and molecular marker analyses revealed that AL46 was a wheat-rye T1RS·1BL translocation line. Genetic analysis combined with function marker detection and sequence alignment were used to confirm that AL46 carried the Pm2 gene. Then, we evaluated the powdery mildew resistance and comprehensive traits of AL46, and just as we designed, AL46 showed harmonious powdery mildew resistance with some key breeding traits. This study not only developed an ideal wheat germplasm resource but also provided a successful example for pyramiding breeding, which could be a promising direction for wheat improvement in the future.

Abstract
Sharp eyespot, a soil-borne disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), is one of the most devastating diseases and severely affects grain production. The most efficient and economical method of controlling the disease is the utilization of genetic resistance. In this study, the wheat-Psathyrostachys huashanica introgression line H83 processed the enhanced resistance to Rhizoctonia cerealis isolate R0301 than its wheat parent 7182. A resistance locus in the 600 to 800 Mb interval of chromosome 2BL was screened using 244 segregation population F2 plants of H83×Huixianhong with bulked segregant analysis and wheat axiom 660K genotyping array. Furthermore, by using 12 kompetitive allele-specific PCR markers, a major resistance gene, designated as Qse.xn-2BL, was identified in a secondary segregating population with 138 F3:4 lines and initially mapped to a 765.6 to 775.5 Mb interval on chromosome 2BL. Molecular cytology analysis revealed that H83 probably has an alien introgression at the distal of chromosome 2BL, where it overlapped with the mapping target gene. Above all, H83 showed great potential to improve wheat resistance to sharp eyespot and can be expected to improve resistance in wheat breeding.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231810495.

Abstract
In this study, a novel T6RS.6AL translocation line, 117-6, was selected from a cross between common Chuannong25 (CN25) wheat and Qinling rye. The results of nondenaturing fluorescence in situ hybridization (ND-FISH) and PCR showed that 117-6 contained two T6RS.6AL translocation chromosomes. The distal region of the 6RS chromosome in 117-6 was mutant and showed different FISH signal patterns. When inoculated with different stripe rust races and powdery mildew races in seedlings, 117-6 expressed high resistance to them. The 117-6 line also exhibited high resistance to stripe rust and powdery mildew in the field under natural Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) and Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt) infection. The cytogenetic analysis indicated that the introduction of 6RS conferred resistance ability. Compared with wheat parent CN25, 117-6 exhibited excellent agronomic traits in the field. The present study indicated that Qinling rye may carry favorite genes as a potential source for wheat genetic improvement, and 117-6 could be a useful germplasm for wheat breeding programs in the future.

Abstract
Powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici is a devastating disease that reduces wheat yield and quality worldwide. The exploration and utilization of new resistance genes from wild wheat relatives is the most effective strategy against this disease. Psathyrostachys huashanica Keng f. ex P. C. Kuo (2n = 2x = 14, NsNs) is an important tertiary gene donor with multiple valuable traits for wheat genetic improvement, especially disease resistance. In this study, we developed and identified a new wheat—P. huashanica disomic addition line, 18-1-5—derived from a cross between P. huashanica and common wheat lines Chinese Spring and CSph2b. Sequential genomic and multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization analyses revealed that 18-1-5 harbored 21 pairs of wheat chromosomes plus a pair of alien Ns chromosomes. Non-denaturing fluorescence in situ hybridization and molecular marker analyses further demonstrated that the alien chromosomes were derived from chromosome 7Ns of P. huashanica. The assessment of powdery mildew response revealed that line 18-1-5 was highly resistant at the adult stage to powdery mildew pathogens prevalent in China. The evaluation of agronomic traits indicated that 18-1-5 had a significantly reduced plant height and an increased kernel length compared with its wheat parents. Using genotyping-by-sequencing technology, we developed 118 PCR-based markers specifically for chromosome 7Ns of P. huashanica and found that 26 of these markers could be used to distinguish the genomes of P. huashanica and other wheat-related species. Line 18-1-5 can therefore serve as a promising bridging parent for wheat disease resistance breeding. These markers should be conducive for the rapid, precise detection of P. huashanica chromosomes and chromosomal segments carrying Pm resistance gene(s) during marker-assisted breeding and for the investigation of genetic differences and phylogenetic relationships among diverse Ns genomes and other closely related ones.

Abstract
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is a devastating disease of wheat that seriously affects yield and quality worldwide. Because of the extensive growth of wheat cultivars with homogeneous genetic background, exploring novel resistant resources from wheat relatives has become important for increasing the genetic diversity of wheat. Rye (Secale cereale) is a wheat relative possessing abundant resistance genes because of its high variation. Wheat line AL69, resistant to powdery mildew, was developed by crossing, backcrossing, and self-pollination for multiple generations between hexaploid triticale Zhongsi 237 and common wheat cultivar Zimai 17. Through genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) and multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), nondenaturing FISH, multicolor GISH, and selection with specific molecular markers, AL69 was determined to be a wheat-rye 2R (2D) disomic substitution line. Testing with different B. graminis f. sp. tritici isolates and genetic analysis showed that the all-stage resistance (also called seedling resistance) of AL69 was conferred by the cataloged powdery mildew resistance gene Pm4b derived from Zimai 17, and its adult-plant resistance was derived from the alien chromosome 2R of Zhongsi 237, which was found to be different from the previously reported rye-derived Pm genes, including Pm7 on 2RL. In addition, AL69 showed improved spike number per plant, spike length, fertile spikelet number per spike, kernel number per spike, and grain yield per plant compared with its wheat parent Zimai 17. An elite line S251 combining powdery mildew resistance with excellent agronomic performance was selected from the progenies of AL69 and wheat cultivar Jimai 22. Therefore, AL69 has two types of resistance genes to powdery mildew and improved agronomic traits through pyramiding and thus can be used as a promising genetic stock for wheat breeding.

Abstract
Stripe rust and powdery mildew are devastating diseases that have severe effects on wheat production. Introducing resistant genes/loci from wheat-related species into the wheat genome is an important method to improve wheat resistance. Rye (Secale cereale L.) is a cross-pollinating plant and is the most important related species for wheat genetic improvement. In this study, we developed three 6RS ditelosomic addition lines, three 6RL ditelosomic addition lines, and two 6R disomic addition lines by crossing common wheat cultivar Chuannong 25 and rye inbred line QL2. The chromosome composition of all new lines was confirmed by non-denaturing fluorescence in situ hybridization (ND-FISH) and molecular marker analyses. Disease responses to different Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) races and Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt) isolates and cytogenetic analysis showed that the resistance of the new lines was derived from the rye chromosome 6R of QL2, and both arms (6RS and 6RL) may harbor resistance genes against Pst and Bgt. These new lines could be used as a promising bridging parent and valuable genetic resource for wheat disease resistance improvement.

Abstract
Stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) is one of the most severe diseases for wheat production. An important method to improve the stripe rust resistance of wheat is to introduce resistance genes from related species into the wheat genome. The 1RS.1BL wheat-rye translocation from Petkus rye has contributed substantially to wheat resistance breeding worldwide. However, given the breakdown of the stripe rust resistance gene Yr9 in 1RS, its importance for wheat improvement has decreased. In this study, we developed 166 new primary 1RS.1BL translocation lines by crossing rye varieties Weining, Baili, and Aigan with several wheat cultivars. Cytogenetic and molecular analyses indicated that all of these lines contained a pair of intact 1RS.1BL translocation chromosomes. The stripe rust resistance of these translocation lines and their wheat parents was evaluated in southwestern China during the severe stripe rust epidemics in 2015 and 2021. The results showed diverse effects of the 1RS.1BL translocations from different rye cultivars on resistance to stripe rust. The highest genetic diversity was observed in 1RS.1BL translocations derived from diverse rye varieties but in the same wheat background. The development of diverse 1RS.1BL translocation lines offers ample opportunities to introduce new variations into wheat for improving stripe rust resistance. Finally, 71 new translocation lines, including nine developed from the cross of MY11 × Aigan, four from MY11 × Baili, 40 from MY11 × Weining, 14 from A42912 × Baili, and four from A42912 × Weining. These lines showed consistent resistance to stripe rust in fields under frequent changes of the pathogen races and could be useful genetic stocks for breeding wheat cultivars with resistance to stripe rust.

Abstract
Powdery mildew is one of the most destructive diseases in wheat production. Identifying novel resistance genes and deploying them in new cultivars is the most effective approach to minimize wheat losses caused by powdery mildew. In this study, wheat breeding line PBDH1607 showed high resistance to powdery mildew at both the seedling and adult plant stages. Genetic analysis of the seedling data demonstrated that the resistance was controlled by a single dominant gene, tentatively designated PmPBDH. The ΔSNP index based on bulked segregant RNA sequencing indicated that PmPBDH was associated with an interval of about 30.8 Mb (713.5 to 744.3 Mb) on chromosome arm 4AL. Using newly developed markers, we mapped PmPBDH to a 3.2-cM interval covering 7.1 Mb (719,055,516 to 726,215,121 bp). This interval differed from those of Pm61 (717,963,176 to 719,260,469 bp), MlIW30 (732,769,506 to 732,790,522 bp), and MlNSF10 (729,275,816 to 731,365,462 bp) reported on the same chromosome arm. PmPBDH also differed from Pm61, MlIW30, and MlNSF10 by its response spectrum, origin, or inheritance mode, suggesting that PmPBDH should be a new Pm gene. In the candidate interval, five genes were found to be associated with PmPBDH via time course gene expression analysis, and thus they are candidate genes of PmPBDH. Six closely linked markers, including two kompetitive allele-specific PCR markers, were confirmed to be applicable for tracking PmPBDH in marker-assisted breeding.

Abstract
Wheat-rye 1RS·1BL translocations from 'Petkus' rye have contributed substantially to wheat production worldwide with their great disease resistance and yield traits. However, the resistance genes on the 1RS chromosomes have completely lost their resistance to newly emerged pathogens. Rye could widen the variation of 1RS as a naturally cross-pollinated related species of wheat. In this study, we developed three new 1RS·1BL translocation lines by crossing rye inbred line BL1, selected from Chinese landrace rye Baili, with wheat cultivar Mianyang11. These three new translocation lines exhibited high resistance to the most virulent and frequently occurring stripe rust pathotypes and showed high resistance in the field, where stripe rust outbreaks have been most severe in China. One new gene for stripe rust resistance, located on 1RS of the new translocation lines, is tentatively named YrRt1054. YrRt1054 confers resistance to Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici pathotypes that are virulent toward Yr9 and YrCn17. This new resistance gene, YrRt1054, is available for wheat improvement programs. The present study indicated that rye cultivars may carry additional untapped variation as potential sources of resistance.

Deciphering resistance to Zymoseptoria tritici in the Tunisian durum wheat landrace accession 'Agili39'. BMC Genomics 2022; 23:372. [PMID: 35581550 PMCID: PMC9112612 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-022-08560-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by Zymoseptoria tritici (Z. tritici), is an important biotic threat to durum wheat in the entire Mediterranean Basin. Although most durum wheat cultivars are susceptible to Z. tritici, research in STB resistance in durum wheat has been limited. Results In our study, we have identified resistance to a wide array of Z. tritici isolates in the Tunisian durum wheat landrace accession ‘Agili39’. Subsequently, a recombinant inbred population was developed and tested under greenhouse conditions at the seedling stage with eight Z. tritici isolates and for five years under field conditions with three Z. tritici isolates. Mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) resulted in the identification of two major QTL on chromosome 2B designated as Qstb2B_1 and Qstb2B_2. The Qstb2B_1 QTL was mapped at the seedling and the adult plant stage (highest LOD 33.9, explained variance 61.6%), conferring an effective resistance against five Z. tritici isolates. The Qstb2B_2 conferred adult plant resistance (highest LOD 32.9, explained variance 42%) and has been effective at the field trials against two Z. tritici isolates. The physical positions of the flanking markers linked to Qstb2B_1 and Qstb2B_2 indicate that these two QTL are 5 Mb apart. In addition, we identified two minor QTL on chromosomes 1A (Qstb1A) and chromosome 7A (Qstb7A) (highest LODs 4.6 and 4.0, and explained variances of 16% and 9%, respectively) that were specific to three and one Z. tritici isolates, respectively. All identified QTL were derived from the landrace accession Agili39 that represents a valuable source for STB resistance in durum wheat. Conclusion This study demonstrates that Z. tritici resistance in the ‘Agili39’ landrace accession is controlled by two minor and two major QTL acting in an additive mode. We also provide evidence that the broad efficacy of the resistance to STB in ‘Agili 39’ is due to a natural pyramiding of these QTL. A sustainable use of this Z. tritici resistance source and a positive selection of the linked markers to the identified QTL will greatly support effective breeding for Z. tritici resistance in durum wheat.

Molecular Cytogenetic and Physiological Characterization of a Novel Wheat-Rye T1RS.1BL Translocation Line from Secale cereal L. Weining with Resistance to Stripe Rust and Functional "Stay Green" Trait. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23094626. [PMID: 35563016 PMCID: PMC9102831 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23094626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, a novel T1RS.1BL translocation line RT843-5 was selected from a cross between wheat Mianyang11 (MY11) and Weining rye. The results of MC-FISH, PCR, and A-PAGE showed that RT843-5 contained two intact T1RS.1BL translocation chromosomes. RT843-5 showed resistance to the most virulent and frequently occurring stripe rust races/isolates. Additionally, RT843-5 showed resistance in the field in locations where stripe rust outbreaks have been the most severe in China. Genetic analysis indicated one new gene for stripe rust resistance, located on 1RS of RT843-5, which was tentatively named YrRt843. Furthermore, the chlorophyll content, the activities of catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), and the net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of RT843-5 were significantly higher than those in its wheat parent MY11, whereas malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation was significantly lower after anthesis in RT843-5 compared to in MY11. RT843-5 had a significantly higher 1000-kernel weight and yield than MY11. The results indicated that RT843-5 exhibited functional stay-green traits after anthesis, that delayed the senescence process in wheat leaves during the filling stage and had positive effects on grain yield. The present study indicated that Weining rye may carry untapped variations as a potential source of resistance, and that RT843-5 could be an important material for wheat breeding programs in the future.

Abstract
Rye is the most important source for the genetic improvement of wheat. In this study, two stable wheat-rye primary 1RS.1BL translocation lines, RT855-13 and RT855-14, were selected and identified by acid polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (A-PAGE), co-dominant PCR, and multi-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (MC-FISH) from the progeny of the crossing of the wheat cultivar Mianyang11 and a Chinese rye Weining. When more than two independent, simple reciprocal translocations are involved in a carrier, they are defined as complex chromosome translocations (CCT). The MC-FISH results also indicated that CCT occurred in RT855-13; namely that, besides 1RS.1BL translocation chromosomes, there are other two pairs of balanced reciprocal translocations. It was demonstrated that the interchange between a distal segment of 4B and long arm of 3D occurred in the RT855-13. The novel translocation chromosomes in wheat were recorded as 3DS.4BSDS and 3DL-4BSPS.4BL. Reports about CCT as a genetic resource in plant breeding programs are scarce. Both lines expressed high resistance to Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, which are prevalent in China and are virulent on Yr9, and the CCT line RT855-13 retained better resistance as adult plants compared with RT855-14 in the field. Both lines, especially the CCT line RT855-13, exhibited better agronomic traits than their wheat parent, Mianyang11, indicating that both translocation lines could potentially be used for wheat improvement. The results also indicated that the position effects of CCT can lead to beneficial variations in agronomic and resistant traits, making them a valuable genetic resource to wheat breeding programs.

Abstract
Rye (Secale cereale L.), a naturally cross-pollinating relative of wheat, is a tertiary gene donor and of substantial value in wheat improvement. Wheat powdery mildew is caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), which seriously affects yield and quality worldwide. Identifying and transferring new, effective resistance genes against powdery mildew from rye is important for wheat breeding. The current study developed a wheat-rye line YT2 resistant to powdery mildew by crossing, backcrossing, and self-pollination for multiple generations between octoploid triticale 09R2-100 and common wheat cultivar Shixin 616. YT2 was confirmed to be a 6R disomic addition and T1RS⋅1BL translocation line by genomic in situ hybridization (GISH), multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (mc-FISH), multicolor-GISH (mc-GISH), and molecular marker analyses. Disease responses to different Bgt isolates and genetic analysis showed that the powdery mildew resistance gene of YT2 was derived from the rye chromosome 6R of 09R2-100, which differed from the previously reported Pm genes from rye including Pm20 on 6RL. Resistance phenotype of different translocation lines and deletion lines derived from YT2 combined with newly developed 6RL-specific markers analysis suggested that the powdery mildew resistance gene of YT2 was localized to the region in chromosome 6RL: 890.09-967.51 Mb and flanked by markers XM189 and X4M19, corresponding to the reference genome of Weining rye. Therefore, YT2 could be used as a promising bridging parent for wheat disease resistance improvement.

Abstract
Sugars, the chemically bound form of energy, are formed by the absorption of photosynthetically active radiation and fixation in plants. During evolution, plants availed the sugar molecules as a resource, balancing molecule, and signaling molecule. The multifaceted role of sugar molecules in response to environmental stimuli makes it the central coordinator required for growth, survival, and continuity. During the course of evolution, the molecular networks have become complex to adapt or acclimate to the changing environment. Sugar molecules are sensed both intra and extracellularly by their specific sensors. The signal is transmitted by a signaling loop that involves various downstream signaling molecules, transcriptional factors and, most pertinent, the sensors TOR and SnRK1. In this review, the focus has been retained on the significance of the sugar sensors during signaling and induced modules to regulate plant growth, development, biotic and abiotic stress. It is interesting to visualize the sugar molecule as a signaling unit and not only a nutrient. Complete information on the downstream components of sugar signaling will open the gates for improving the qualitative and quantitative elements of crop plants.

Abstract
Powdery mildew is one of the most destructive diseases in the world, causing substantial grain yield losses and quality reduction in cereal crops. At present 23 powdery mildew resistance genes have been identified in rye, of which the majority are in wheat-rye translocation lines developed for wheat improvement. Here, we investigated the genetics underlying powdery mildew resistance in the Gülzow-type elite hybrid rye (Secale cereale L.) breeding germplasm. In total, 180 inbred breeding lines were genotyped using the state-of-the-art 600 K SNP array and phenotyped for infection type against three distinct field populations of B. graminis f. sp. secalis from Northern Germany (2013 and 2018) and Denmark (2020). We observed a moderate level of powdery mildew resistance in the non-restorer germplasm population, and by performing a genome-wide association study using 261,406 informative SNP markers, we identified a powdery mildew resistance locus, provisionally denoted PmNOS1, on the distal tip of chromosome arm 7RL. Using recent advances in rye genomic resources, we investigated whether nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat genes residing in the identified 17 Mbp block associated with PmNOS1 on recent reference genomes resembled known Pm genes.

Abstract
Wheat powdery mildew is a devastating disease that seriously threatens yield worldwide. Utilization of host resistance is considered an effective strategy to minimize powdery mildew damage. Pm21, PmV, and Pm12 confer broad-spectrum resistance to wheat powdery mildew in China, of which Pm21 and PmV are allelic genes derived from the 6VS chromosome of Dasypyrum villosum, and Pm12 is derived from the 6SS chromosome of Aegilops speltoides and most likely orthologous to the former two genes. To accurately and efficiently transfer and pyramid these genes using marker-assisted selection (MAS), distinctive single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among the exon sequences of Pm21, PmV, and Pm12 and their homologous sequences in the common wheat genome were identified and then used for developing diagnostic Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) markers. The markers were validated in different genotypes including transgenic vectors, transgenic lines, translocation lines, resistance stocks with documented Pm genes, and in multiple susceptible cultivars without Pm genes. As a result, we initially developed a KASP marker that can simultaneously diagnose Pm21, Pm12, and PmV. Subsequently, we obtained a highly diagnostic KASP marker for each of the three genes that could distinguish among the three genes and also accurately distinguish them from other resistant stocks with documented Pm genes and from multiple susceptible genotypes. Compared with previously reported markers, the highly diagnostic KASP markers developed in this study have the advantages of low cost, easy assay, accuracy, and potentially high throughput for MAS.
