Abstract
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most devastating diseases of wheat. Resistant cultivars are the preferred strategy to control the disease. Space-induced wheat mutant R39 has adult-plant resistance (APR) to Pst. Genetic analysis indicated that a single recessive gene, designated YrR39, was responsible for the APR of R39 to Pst. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) combined with a SLAF sequencing (SLAF-seq) strategy was used to fine-map YrR39 to a 17.39 Mb segment on chromosome 4B. The region was confirmed by analysis with simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 126 genes were annotated in the region and 21 genes with annotations associated with disease response were selected for further qRT-PCR analysis. The candidate gene Traes_4BS_C868349E1 (annotated as an F-box/LRR-repeat protein) was up-regulated after 12, 24, 48, and 96 hours post inoculation with Pst, suggesting it is likely involved in the resistance. The current study demonstrated that BSA combined with SLAF-seq for SNP discovery is an efficient approach for mapping and identifying candidate functional gene.Entities:

Figure 2Identification of the target regions through two types of association analysis methods. (a) The results of Euclidean Distance association analysis. The x-axis represents the wheat chromosomes and y-axis represents the Euclidean Distance value. The black lines show all fitting results of ED, the red dotted line shows the threshold of ED. The larger the result of ED is, the stronger the association is. The association threshold was 0.23. Peak regions are defined as regions where the Loess-fitted values are greater than the threshold value (P < 0.01). (b) The results of ΔSNP-index association analysis. The x-axis represents the wheat chromosomes, and the y-axis represents the ΔSNP-index values. Black lines are the average values of ΔSNP-index drawn by sliding window analysis. The red (P < 0.01), blue (P < 0.05) and green (P < 0.1) lines are the threshold values, which was calculated by Loess regression. Peak regions are defined as regions where the smooth value s are greater than the threshold value.
