Will we meet the future demand?
Causal agent of wheat leaf rust: Puccinia triticina
Annual yield loss 10% to 70%(Huerta-Espino et al. 2011)
P. triticina germinated spore
Most common and widespread wheat disease

Leaf rust in Australia
(ACRCP, 2016)
• Six different clonal lineages in Australia:
• 10-1,3,9,10,12
• 53-1,(6),(7),11
• 64-(6),(7),(10),11
• 76-1,3,5,10,12
• 104-(2),3,(6),(7)
• 122-1,2, 3, (6),(7), 11
• From 2000 to 2016
• 30 pathotypes
Seedling vs Adult plant resistance• Also referred to as: “All stage
resistance”
• Often single gene with major effect
• Often hypersensitive response
• Race specific
• Pathogen overcomes easily
• Adult plant stage
• Single gene with large effect or multiple genes with minor effect
• Partial resistance
• Race-nonspecific
• Often additive effect

To identify new genomic regions underpinning leaf rust resistance inVavilov wheat diversity panel through genome-wide association studies.
Objective
The Vavilov wheat diversity panel
295 diverse bread wheat accessions from VIR
Collected from 28 countries, spanning from 1920–1990
Genotyped with >56,000 DArTseq GBS markers

Summary of Genome wide association studies (GWAS)
Alignment to previously reported studies
• 14 QTL aligned with previously reported studies
• 4 co-located with the catalogued Lr genes
• 13 QTL were considered new loci
• Two QTL on chromosome 3A and 7B were selected for further analysis

Outcomes
• Historical accessions provide a great source of genetic diversity for resistance to leaf rust
• GWAS identified a large number of genomic regions conferring APR to leaf rust (some novel)
• Landraces carry multiple QTL conferring resistance to leaf rust
• Stable resistance can be achieved via QTL pyramiding
