Abstract:
Bipolaris sorokiniana-induced spot blotch constitutes a major wheat disease in warm, humid production regions globally. Elucidating its genetic control is essential for breeding cultivars that mitigate yield and quality losses. We evaluated F2 and F2:3 generations from a WE35 × S2199 cross for resistance phenotypes. Genetic analysis revealed that resistance was controlled by two independent dominant genes: the previously identified Sb3 and a novel resistance gene designated SbWE35. Bulked segregant RNA-Seq (BSR-Seq) analysis using a segregating population from a cross between WE35 and a spot blotch susceptible line 621-18-3 mapped SbWE35 to chromosome 4BL. Fine mapping delimited SbWE35 to a 0.07 cM interval between markers YK12918 and YK13104 corresponding to 1.08 Mb in the Chinese Spring reference genome. Comparative genetic mapping revealed substantial overlap between the SbWE35 and Sb4 intervals, suggesting that SbWE35 and Sb4 may represent the same genetic locus, although formal allelism tests are required for confirmation. KEY MESSAGE : We identifiedSbWE35, a wheat spot blotch resistance gene, and demonstrated that resistance to spot blotch is controlled by two independent dominant genes,Sb3andSbWE35.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
