Researchers identified four major loci for Fusarium crown rot resistance in wheat through evaluation of 209 wheat accessions. Combining these loci significantly increased the disease resistance. Additionally, two PCR-based markers were successfully developed, providing valuable tools for resistance breeding programs.
Fusarium crown rot (FCR) is a fungal disease and severely decreases wheat production worldwide. Tibetan semiwild wheat, Yunnan hulled wheat, Xinjiang rice wheat, and Sichuan white wheat are four subspecies landraces endemic to western China and have rich genetic diversity in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Here, a natural population, including 209 wheat accessions of four subspecies, was evaluated for FCR resistance. he genome-wide association study was performed using the wheat 55K single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The results showed that the disease index (DI) ranged from 16.88 to 85.00, while six accessions showed moderate to high resistance (DI <= 30). Genome-wide association analysis identified 10 stable loci for FCR resistance on chromosomes 1B, 2A (5), 5A, 7A, 7B, and 7D. Four major loci-Qfcr.sicau.2A-1, Qfcr.sicau.2A-3, Qfcr.sicau.5A, and Qfcr.sicau.7D-explained 6.01 to 14.48, 9.76 to 13.11, 8.19 to 10.29, and 5.76 to 12.21% phenotypic variation, respectively. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) pyramiding analysis of these four major loci revealed that accessions with four resistance haplotypes could significantly decrease FCR severity by 9.35 to 31.61% compared with those without or with one to three resistance haplotypes. One kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) marker each was successfully developed for Qfcr.sicau.2A-1 and Qfcr.sicau.7D. The KASP marker of Qfcr.sicau.2A-1 was used to genotype in an F-6 recombinant inbred line population. The result showed that the lines carrying the resistance allele reduced FCR severity by 17.78%, demonstrating the importance of Qfcr.sicau.2A-1 in resistance breeding programs. Our findings provide valuable QTL and breeder-friendly PCR-based markers for applications in FCR resistance breeding programs. Our study also proved that gene pyramiding of major loci could enhance FCR resistance.
