Radiation-induced translocations with reduced Haynaldia villosa chromatin at the Pm21 locus for powdery mildew resistance in wheat

Summary: | Haynaldia villosa Schur. (syn. Dasypyrum villosum Candargy, 2n = 2x = 14, genome VV), a species related to wheat, is highly resistant to powdery mildew. The powdery mildew resistance gene Pm21 from H. villosa was introduced into common wheat by means of a translocation line T6VS·6AL, where the 6VS chromosome arm of H. villosa was joined at the centromere with wheat chromosome arm 6AL. To develop small alien translocations, especially interstitial translocations of small alien chromosome segments, we irradiated mature female gametes of a T6VS·6AL translocation line with gamma rays. More than 20 new translocations and deletions of 6V chromatin were obtained and subsequently used to map Pm21. Pm21 was located in a small region (FL 0.45–0.58) by genomic in situ hybridization, molecular marker analysis, and powdery mildew response. Two homozygous translocation lines with small H. villosa chromosome fragments carrying Pm21 were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization and molecular marker analysis: an interstitial translocation in which a small fragment of 6VS is inserted into chromosome 4B and a terminal translocation with a small fragment of 6VS inserted into 1A. These small alien translocations are being transferred into an adapted elite wheat background by backcrossing to allow their easy use in breeding programs. |
