Abstract
Key message A new spot blotch (Bipolaris sorokiniana) resistance gene Sb4 was mapped in a genomic interval of 1.34 Mb on wheat chromosome 4BL. Abstract Spot blotch, caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana, has emerged as a serious concern for cultivation of wheat in warmer and humid regions of the world, which results in substantial yield losses and descends with quality. In this study, we identified and mapped a spot blotch resistance gene, designated as Sb4, against B. sorokiniana in wheat. Bulked segregant RNA-Seq (BSR-Seq) analysis and single-nucleotide polymorphism mapping showed that Sb4 is located on the long arm of chromosome 4B. A genetic linkage map of Sb4 was constructed using an F4 mapping population developed from the cross between ‘GY17’ and ‘Zhongyu1211,’ and Sb4 was delimited in a 7.14-cM genetic region on 4BL between markers B6811 and B6901. Using the Chinese Spring reference sequences of chromosome arm 4BL, 13 new polymorphic markers were developed. Finally, Sb4 was mapped in a 1.19-cM genetic interval corresponding to a 1.34-Mb physical genomic region of Chinese Spring chromosome 4BL containing 21 predicted genes. This study provides a foundational step for further cloning of Sb4 using a map-based approach.Keywords
