The genetic architecture of resistance to septoria tritici blotch in French wheat cultivars
Résumé
Results Genome-wide association study resulted in the detection of 57 wheat QTL, among which 40 were detected at the seedling stage. Three quarters of these QTL were in genomic regions previously reported for to confer resistance to Z. tritici, but 10 QTL are novel and may be of special interest as new sources of resistance. Some QTL colocalise with major Stb resistance genes, suggesting their presence in the French elite winter wheat germplasm. Among them, the three QTL with the strongest effect colocalize with Stb6, Stb9 and Stb18. There was minimal overlap between the QTL detected at the seedling and adult plant stages, with only 1 out of 20 seedling QTL also being detected in field trials inoculated with the same isolate. This suggests that different resistance genes are involved at the seedling and adult plant stages.
This work reveals the highly complex genetic architecture of French wheat resistance to STB and provides relatively small QTL intervals, which will be valuable for identifying the underlying causative genes and for marker-assisted selection.
