Powdery mildew, which is caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is a disease of wheat worldwide. Xiaobaidong is a Chinese wheat landrace, which still maintains good resistance against powdery mildew. To obtain more genetic markers closely linked to the powdery mildew resistance gene mlxbd and narrow the candidate region for its isolation, new simple sequence repeats and cross intron-spanning markers were designed based on the genome sequence of Triticum aestivum cultivar Chinese Spring chromosome 7BL. The flanking markers 7BLSSR49 and WGGC5746 were found to be tightly linked to mlxbd at genetic distances of 0.4 cM and 0.3 cM, respectively. The resistance locus was mapped to a 63.40 kb and 0.29 Mb region of the Chinese Spring genome and Zavitan genome, respectively. The linked markers of mlxbd could be used as diagnostic markers for mlxbd. The linked molecular markers and delineated genomic region in the sequenced Chinese Spring genome will assist the future map-based cloning of mlxbd.
