Two previously isolated resistance gene analogs (RGAs) of oat have been located as RFLPs in the reference map of Avena byzantina ‘Kanota’ × Avena sativa ‘Ogle’ in regions either homologous or homoeologous to loci for resistance to Puccinia coronata , the causal agent of crown rust. In this study, the RGAs were mapped in two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations that segregate for crown rust resistance: the diploid Avena strigosa × Avena wiestii RIL population (Asw), which has been used for mapping the complex locus PcA, and the hexaploid MN841801-1 × Noble-2 RIL population (MN), in which QTLs have been located. To obtain single-locus markers, RGAs were converted to sequence tagged site (STS) markers using a procedure involving extension of the original RGA sequence lengths by PCR genome walking, amplification and cloning of the parental fragments, and identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms. The procedure successfully obtained STSs from different members of the L7M2 family of sequences, the initial NBS of which have nucleotide similarities of >83%. However, for RGA III2.18, the parental lines were not polymorphic for the STSs assayed. A sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker with features of an RGA had been previously identified for gene Pc94. This marker was also mapped in the above RIL populations. Markers based on RGA L7M2 co-localized with markers defining the QTL Prq1a in linkage group MN3, and were located 15.2 cM from PcA in linkage group AswAC. The SCAR marker for Pc94 was also located in the QTL Prq1a but at 39.5 cM from PcA in AswAC, indicating that the NBS-LRR sequence represented by this marker is not related to PcA. L7M2 was also excluded as a member of the PcA cluster, although it could be an appropriate marker for the Prq1a cluster if chromosome rearrangements are postulated.

O glyphosate é o herbicida mais usado no controle de plantas daninhas em eucalipto, atuando diretamente na rota do ácido chiquímico, principal via de formação de compostos ligados aos mecanismos de defesa das plantas, como: lignina, ácido salicítico e fitoalexinas. Assim, o contato do glyphosate com as folhas do eucalipto pode levar a conseqüências importantes sobre a resistência a doenças. Objetivou-se neste estudo avaliar o envolvimento do glyphosate, via deriva, na severidade da ferrugem causada por Puccinia psidii em genótipos de eucalipto com diferentes níveis de resistência ao patógeno. Para isso, mudas de quatro clones - dois heterozigotos resistentes à ferrugem (UFV01 e UFV02) e dois homozigotos suscetíveis (UFV03 e UFV04) - foram submetidas às subdoses de 0 (testemunha); 28,8; 57,6; 86,4; e 115,2 g ha-1 de glyphosate, simulando deriva. Três dias após a aplicação do glyphosate, as plantas foram inoculadas com o isolado monopustular UFV1 de P. psidii, obtido de Eucalyptus grandis, na região de Itapetininga, SP. Aos 21 dias após a inoculação, foram avaliados a severidade de ferrugem, utilizando-se uma escala diagramática com quatro classes (S0 e S1 resistentes à ferrugem e S2 e S3 suscetíveis), o número de pústulas cm-2 de área foliar, a área foliar lesionada pela ferrugem, o número médio de urediniósporos cm-2 de área foliar, o número médio de urediniósporos/pústula e a porcentagem de intoxicação pelo glyphosate. O clone UFV04 foi o mais sensível ao glyphosate, enquanto o UFV01 apresentou maior tolerância ao herbicida. O glyphosate não alterou o nível de resistência à ferrugem nos genótipos resistentes (UFV01 e UFV02) que apresentaram ausência de pústulas nas folhas, tanto em plantas expostas à deriva quanto nas testemunhas. Para os demais clones, manteve-se a suscetibilidade à ferrugem, embora, com o aumento das doses de glyphosate, tenha se observado diminuição da severidade da doença. Conclui-se que o glyphosate não afetou a resistência do eucalipto a Puccinia psidii, ocorrendo diminuição da severidade da doença em plantas expostas ao glyphosate via deriva, e que existe tolerância diferencial entre os clones ao herbicida.

Eucalyptus grandis, in its native Australian range, varies in resistance to Austropuccinia psidii (syn. Puccinia psidii). The biotrophic rust fungus, A. psidii is the causal agent of myrtle rust and poses a serious threat to Australian biodiversity. The pathogen produces yellow pustules of urediniospores on young leaves and shoots, resulting in shoot tip dieback, stunted growth, and death. Dissecting the underlying mechanisms of resistance against this pathogen will contribute to improved breeding and control strategies to mitigate its devastating effects. The aim of this study was to determine the molecular dialogue between E. grandis and A. psidii, using an RNA-sequencing approach. Resistant and susceptible E. grandis seedlings grown from seed collected across its natural range were inoculated with the pandemic biotype of A. psidii. The leaf tissue was harvested at 12-h post inoculation (hpi), 1-day post inoculation (dpi), 2-dpi and 5-dpi and subjected to RNA-sequencing using Illumina 50 bp PE reads to a depth of 40 million reads per sample. Differential gene expression and gene ontology enrichment indicated that the resistant seedlings showed controlled, coordinated responses with a hypersensitive response, while the susceptible seedlings showed no systemic response against myrtle rust. Brassinosteroid signaling was apparent as an enriched term in the resistant interaction at 2-dpi, suggesting an important role of this phytohormone in defense against the pathogen. Brassinosteroid mediated signaling genes were also among the candidate genes within two major disease resistance loci (Puccinia psidii resistance), Ppr3 and Ppr5. While brassinosteroids have been tagged as positive regulators in other plant disease resistance interactions, this is the first report in the Eucalyptus – Austropuccinia psidii interaction. Furthermore, several putative resistance genes, underlying known resistance loci and implicated in the interaction have been identified and highlighted for future functional studies. This study provided further insights into the molecular interactions between E. grandis and A. psidii, contributing to our understanding of this pathosystem.

Downy mildew is a destructive disease of spinach worldwide. There have been 10 races described since 1824, six of which have been identified in the past 10 years. Race identification is based on qualitative disease reactions on a set of diverse host differentials which include open-pollinated cultivars, contemporary hybrid cultivars, and older hybrid cultivars that are no longer produced. The development of a set of near-isogenic open-pollinated spinach lines (NILs), having different resistance loci in a susceptible and otherwise common genetic background, would facilitate identification of races of the downy mildew pathogen, provide a tool to better understand the genetics of resistance, and expedite the development of molecular markers linked to these disease resistance loci. To achieve this objective, the spinach cv. Viroflay, susceptible to race 6 of Peronospora farinosa f. sp. spinaciae, was used as the recurrent susceptible parent in crosses with the hybrid spinach cv. Lion, resistant to race 6. Resistant F1 progeny were subsequently backcrossed to Viroflay four times with selection for race 6 resistance each time. Analysis of the segregation data showed that resistance was controlled by a single dominant gene, and the resistance locus was designated Pfs-1. By bulk segregant analysis, an amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) marker (E-ACT/M-CTG) linked to Pfs-1 was identified and used to develop a co-dominant Sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker. This SCAR marker, designated Dm-1, was closely linked (≈1.7 cM) to the Pfs-1 locus and could discriminate among spinach genotypes that were homozygous resistant (Pfs-1Pfs-1), heterozygous resistant (Pfs-1pfs-1), or homozygous susceptible (pfs-1pfs-1) to race 6 within the original mapping population. Evaluation of a wide range of commercial spinach lines outside of the mapping population indicated that Dm-1 could effectively identify Pfs-1 resistant genotypes; the Dm-1 marker correctly predicted the disease resistance phenotype in 120 out of 123 lines tested. In addition, the NIL containing the Pfs-1 locus (Pfs-1Pfs-1) was resistant to multiple races of the downy mildew pathogen indicating Pfs-1 locus may contain a cluster of resistance genes.

An Aegilops umbellulata–derived leaf-rust-resistance gene, Lr9, was tagged with 3 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, which mapped within 1.8 cM of gene Lr9 located on chromosome 6BL of wheat. The markers were identified in an F2 population segregating for leaf-rust resistance, which was generated from a cross between 2 near-isogenic lines that differed in the alien gene Lr9 in a widely adopted agronomic background of cultivar 'HD 2329'. Disease phenotyping was done in controlled environmental conditions by inoculating the population with the most virulent pathotype, 121 R63-1 of Puccinia triticina. One RAPD marker, S5550, located at a distance of 0.8 ± 0.008 cM from the Lr9 locus, was converted to sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker SCS5550. The SCAR marker was validated for its specificity to gene Lr9 against 44 of the 50 known Lr genes and 10 wheat cultivars possessing the gene Lr9. Marker SCS5550 was used with another SCAR marker, SCS73719, previously identified as being linked to gene Lr24 on a segregating F2 population to select for genes Lr9 and Lr24, respectively, demonstrating the utility of the 2 markers in marker-assisted gene pyramiding for leaf-rust resistance in wheat.Key words: wheat, leaf rust resistance, Lr9, Lr24, RAPD, SCAR.
