Dwarfing gene Rht24 does not affect Fusarium head blight resistance in a large European winter wheat diversity panel
Dwarfing gene Rht24 does not affect Fusarium head blight resistance in a large European winter wheat diversity panel
Abstract (English)
Reduced height ( Rht ) genes are widely used in modern wheat breeding although some confer higher susceptibility to Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by F. graminearum and other species. Our objective was to test whether the recently identified Rht24b dwarfing allele has a neutral effect on FHB response as reported previously from a single mapping population when unrelated winter wheat cultivars were analyzed. We artificially infected a panel of 420 cultivars divided into four genotypic groups ( Rht24a + Rht-D1a , Rht24b + Rht-D1a, Rht24a + Rht-D1b, Rht24b + Rht-D1b ) with Fusarium culmorum in five location-year combinations. High and significant (P ≤ 0.001) genetic variance for FHB severity and plant height (PH) was found in the entire panel as well as within the four Rht groups and both traits showed high entry-mean heritabilities of 0.92 and 0.98, respectively. Rht24b had no significant effect on FHB severity whereas Rht-D1b increased FHB susceptibility by 37%. The 29 most resistant cultivars either had the tallness alleles of the above mentioned Rht-D1 gene or Rht24b alone. The Rht24b + Rht-D1b combination had no significantly higher FHB severity than Rht-D1b alone. However, Rht24b reduced average PH only by 6.8 cm, whereas Rht-D1b conferred a reduction of 13.6 cm. For breeding short, FHB-resistant germplasm the neutral Rht24 gene must be complemented by further QTL or other FHB-neutral Rht genes.
