ABSTRACT
Development and use of resistant wheat cultivars is the most practical and economical approach for the control of Fusarium head blight (FHB). In the present study, a population of recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross between 'AC Brio' (a Canadian bread wheat cultivar moderately susceptible to FHB) and 'TC 67' (an FHB-resistant cultivar derived from Triticum timopheevii) was used to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for FHB resistance using microsatellite molecular markers. Multiple interval mapping detected several QTL for FHB resistance on the chromosomes 5AL and 6A. The QTL detected in the marker interval of cfd6.1-barc48 on chromosome 5AL explained 10.9, 5.2, and 7.8% of phenotypic variation for disease incidence (type I resistance), disease severity (a combination of type I and type II resistance), and Fusarium-damaged kernels (FDK) (type IV resistance) under field conditions, respectively. The second QTL mapped to 5AL, in the marker interval of cfd39-cfa2185, explained 19.4 and 20.6% of phenotypic variation for FDK under field conditions and disease severity in the greenhouse (type II resistance), respectively. The QTL located on chromosome 6A conferred resistance to disease incidence and severity under field conditions and to disease severity in the greenhouse, explaining 6.8 to 11.8% of phenotypic variation for these traits. Several QTL for agronomic traits were also mapped in this study, including one and two QTL to the chromosomes 2A and 5AL, respectively, all for plant height, and two QTL to chromosome 6A for plant height and flowering date, respectively. The 5AL QTL for FHB resistance mapped in the marker interval of cfd39-cfa2185 in the present study is a novel QTL that originated from T. timopheevii and is reported here for the first time. Further validation of this QTL is required for wheat breeding programs to enhance resistance levels to FHB.
