摘要: Key messageFunctional markers were developed based on the critical sequence deletion of TaHRC in the Fhb1 region and validated to be diagnostic in a worldwide wheat collection.AbstractWheat Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating disease in wheat and barley worldwide. Growing FHB-resistant cultivars is an effective strategy to minimize FHB damage in wheat production. Fhb1 is a quantitative trait locus for FHB resistance with the largest effect on disease severity identified to date. With this study, we developed diagnostic DNA markers for Fhb1 by comparing the genomic sequences in Fhb1 region between near-isogenic lines contrasting in Fhb1 alleles and phenotypic effects of the markers. Two markers were developed based on a deletion mutation in an gene encoding a putative histidine-rich calcium-binding protein (TaHRC) and validated in different types of populations. Haplotype or sequence analyses of the two markers in the three sets of diversity panels demonstrated that they are diagnostic for Fhb1, and superior to all previously used markers in selection accuracy. They also have the advantages of low cost, easy assay, and are suitable for breeding programs with either high- or low-throughput marker laboratories.
