Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, the wheat stripe rust pathogen, is a dikaryotic, biotrophic, and macrocyclic fungus. Genetic study of P. striiformis f. sp. tritici virulence was not possible until the recent discovery of Berberis spp. and Mahonia spp. as alternate hosts. To determine inheritance of virulence and map virulence genes, a segregating population of 119 isolates was developed by self-fertilizing P. striiformis f. sp. tritici isolate 08-220 (race PSTv-11) on barberry leaves under controlled greenhouse conditions. The progeny isolates were phenotyped on a set of 29 wheat lines with single genes for race-specific resistance and genotyped with simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers derived from secreted protein genes, and SNP markers from genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS). Using the GBS technique, 10,163 polymorphic GBS-SNP markers were identified. Clustering …
