Abstract:

The objective of this study was to identify leaf rust resistance gene and its closely linked molecular markers in LB0288. In order to make use of the leaf rust resistance gene in LB0288 effectively, F1 and F2 populations from the cross LB0288/Thatcher were tested with pathotype FHTT for following marker analysis. The results indicated that LB0288 carried a single dominant resistance gene Lr1, closely linked to the STS markers of Lr1 and SSR marker barc144, with genetic distances of 0 cM and 5.3 cM, respectively. Based on the chromosomal location and seedling reactions, it could be concluded that LB0288 carried resistance gene Lr1.
