This study identified three distant hybrid lines between wheat and Aegilops comosa, and confirmed that two of them have resistance to stripe rust and powdery mildew. The results demonstrate the potential application value of these distant hybrid lines in wheat breeding.
Aegilops comosa (MM, 2n = 2x = 14), an important diploid species from the wheat tertiary gene pool, contains many unique genes/traits of potential use for wheat breeding, such as disease resistance. In this study, three sister lines, NAL-32, NAL-33, and NAL-34, were identified from a wheat-A. comosa distant cross using fluorescence in situ hybridization, simple sequence repeat markers, and PCR-based unique gene markers combined with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis. Genetically, NAL-32 contained neither an alien nor translocation chromosome, whereas NAL-33 and NAL-34 had disomic 7M (7A) substitution chromosomes but differed in the absence or presence of the 1BL/1RS translocation chromosomes, respectively. The absence of 7A in NAL-33 and NAL-34 and the unusual 1B in the latter were verified by wheat 55K SNP arrays. The two 7M (7A) substitution lines had similar levels of resistance to stripe rust and powdery mildew, but better than that of NAL-32 and their common wheat parents, suggesting that the stripe rust and powdery mildew resistance of NAL-33 and NAL-34 were derived from the 7M of A. comosa. This research provides important bridge materials that can potentially be used for transferring stripe rust and powdery mildew resistance.
