Abstract

Puccinia striiformis f.sp.tritici(Pst) is the causal agent of stripe (yellow) rust on wheat. It seriously threatens wheat production worldwide. The obligate biotrophic fungus is highly capable of producing new virulent races that can overcome resistance. Studying the inheritance ofPstvirulence using the classical genetic approach was not possible until the recent discovery of its sexual stage on barberry plants. In the present study, 127 progeny isolates were obtained by selfing a representative Chinese Yellow Rust (CYR) race, CYR32, onBerberis aggregate. The parental isolate and progeny isolates were characterized by testing them on 25 wheat lines with differentYrgenes for resistance and 10 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The 127 progeny isolates were classified into 27 virulence phenotypes (VPs), and 65 multi-locus genotypes (MLGs). All progeny isolates and the parental isolate were avirulent toYr5, Yr8, Yr10, Yr15, Yr24, Yr26, Yr32, andYrTr1; but virulent toYr1, Yr2, Yr3, Yr4, Yr25, Yr44, andYr76. The VPs of the parental isolate to nineYrgenes (Yr6, Yr7, Yr9, Yr17, Yr27, Yr28, Yr43, YrA, andYrExp2) and the avirulence phenotype toYrSPwere found to be heterozygous. Based on the segregation of the virulence/avirulence phenotypes, we found that the VPs toYr7, Yr28, Yr43, andYrExp2were controlled by a dominant gene; those toYr6, Yr9, andYrA(Yr73, Yr74) by two dominant genes; those toYr17andYr27by one dominant and one recessive gene; and the avirulence phenotype toYrSPby two complementary dominant genes. Molecular mapping revealed the linkage of 10 virulence/avirulence genes. Comparison of the inheritance modes of the virulence/avirulence genes in this study with previous studies indicated complex interactions between virulence genes in the pathogen and resistance genes in wheat lines. The results are useful for understanding the plant-pathogen interactions and developing wheat cultivars with effective and durable resistance.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 March 2018.
All research outputs
#17,934,709
of 23,028,364 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Plant Science
#12,250
of 20,564 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#309,473
of 439,460 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Plant Science
#305
of 439 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,028,364 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,564 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 439,460 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 439 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
