Abstract
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a major threat to global wheat production. Developing resistant wheat varieties is a crucial objective in wheat breeding programs. The Chinese common wheat cultivar Gaoyuan813 (GY813) has exhibited excellent resistance to Pst under field conditions for several years. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with stripe rust resistance using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between Gaoyuan813 and the susceptible variety Fukuho. The RILs were evaluated for stripe rust resistance in four field environments with a mixture of Chinese prevalent Pst races (CYR32, CYR33, CYR34, Zhong4, and HY46) and in a growth chamber with race CYR34 and genotyped using the Wheat55K single nucleotide polymorphism array. Five QTLs for stripe rust resistances were mapped to chromosomes 1BL (2), 2AS (2), and 7DS (1), explaining 4.37%-25.44% of the phenotypic variance. QYrsicau-2AS.1 and QYrsicau-7DS were stably detected across all field environments, whereas QYrsicau-1BL.2 was only detected in the growth chamber test. QYrsicau-1BL.1 and QYrsicau-7DS may correspond to the known resistance genes Yr29 and Yr18, respectively, while QYrsicau-1BL.2 and QYrsicau-2AS.2 are likely novel. Additive effects were observed for the combination of QYrsicau-1BL.1, QYrsicau-2AS.1, and QYrsicau-7DS. KASP markers linked to QYrsicau-1BL.2 (KASP_AX-109878201) and QYrsicau-2AS.1 (KASP_AX-110981112) were developed and validated to facilitate the breeding use of genes for wheat improvement.

期刊介绍:
Molecular Breeding is an international journal publishing papers on applications of plant molecular biology, i.e., research most likely leading to practical applications. The practical applications might relate to the Developing as well as the industrialised World and have demonstrable benefits for the seed industry, farmers, processing industry, the environment and the consumer.
All papers published should contribute to the understanding and progress of modern plant breeding, encompassing the scientific disciplines of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, physiology, pathology, plant breeding, and ecology among others.
Molecular Breeding welcomes the following categories of papers: full papers, short communications, papers describing novel methods and review papers. All submission will be subject to peer review ensuring the highest possible scientific quality standards.
Molecular Breeding core areas:
Molecular Breeding will consider manuscripts describing contemporary methods of molecular genetics and genomic analysis, structural and functional genomics in crops, proteomics and metabolic profiling, abiotic stress and field evaluation of transgenic crops containing particular traits. Manuscripts on marker assisted breeding are also of major interest, in particular novel approaches and new results of marker assisted breeding, QTL cloning, integration of conventional and marker assisted breeding, and QTL studies in crop plants.
