Abstract
Molecular mapping of genes for crop resistance to the green bug, Schizaphis graminum Rondani, will facilitate selection of green bug resistance in breeding through marker-assisted selection and provide information for map-based gene cloning. In the present study, microsatellite marker and deletion line analyses were used to map green bug resistance genes in five newly identified wheat germ plasms derived from Aegilops tauschii. Our results indicate that the Gb genes in these germ plasms are inherited as single dominant traits. Microsatellite markers X wmc 157 and X gdm 150 flank G bx 1 at 2.7 and 3.3 cM, respectively. Xwmc 671 is proximately linked to G ba, G bb, G bc and G bd at 34.3, 5.4, 13.7, 7.9 cM, respectively. X barc 53 is linked distally to G ba and G bb at 20.7 and 20.2 cM, respectively. X gdm 150 is distal to G bc at 17.9 cM, and X wmc 157 is distal to G bd at 1.9 cM. G bx 1, G ba, G bb, G bc, G bd and the previously characterized G bz are located in the distal 18% region of wheat chromosome 7 DL. G bd appears to be a new green bug resistance gene different from G bx 1 or G bz. G bx 1, G bz G ba, G bb, G bc and G bd are either allelic or linked to Gb 3.Entities:
