Genetic control of Fusarium head blight resistance in two Yangmai 158-derived recombinant inbred line populations
Genetic control of Fusarium head blight resistance in two Yangmai 158-derived recombinant inbred line populations

Yangmai 158 (Y158) is an elite wheat cultivar widely grown in China with stable Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance. To enrich the genetic basis underlying FHB resistance, QTL mapping was conducted using two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations derived from crosses of Y158 with susceptible lines Annong 8455 and Veery. Survey with makers linked to Fhb1Fhb2Fhb4 and Fhb5 in resistance cultivar Wangshuibai indicated that both Y158 and the susceptible lines do not contain these QTL.
