However, the genetic relationship between GC and PHS resistance remains unclear. In this study, 168 wheat varieties(lines) with significant differences in GC and PHS resistance were genotyped using an Illumina 90K iSelect SNP array. Genome-wide association study(GWAS) based on a mixed linear model showed that 67 marker-trait associations(MTAs) assigned to 29 loci, including 17 potentially novel loci, were significantly associated with GC, which explained 1.1–17.0% of the phenotypic variation. In addition, 100 MTAs belonging to 54 loci, including 31 novel loci, were significantly associated with PHS resistance, which accounted for 1.1–14.7% of the phenotypic variation. Subsequently, two cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences(CAPS) markers, 2B-448 on chromosome 2B and 5B-301 on chromosome 5B,were developed from the representative SNPs of the major common loci Qgc.ahau-2B.3/Qphs.ahau-2B.4controlling GC/PHS resistance and PHS resistance locus Qphs.ahau-5B.4, respectively. Further validation in 171 Chinese mini-core collections confirmed significant correlations of the two CAPS markers with GC and PHS resistance phenotypes under different environments(P<0.05). Furthermore, the wheat public expression database, transcriptomic sequencing, and gene allelic variation analysis identified TraesCS5B02G545100, which encodes glutaredoxin, as a potential candidate gene linked to Qphs.ahau-5B.4. The new CAPS marker CAPS-356 was then developed based on the SNP(T/C) in the coding sequences(CDS) region of TraesCS5B02G545100. The high-density linkage map of the Jing 411/Hongmangchun 21 recombinant inbred lines(RILs) constructed based on specific locus amplified fragment sequencing markers showed that CAPS-356 collocated with a novel QTL for PHS resistance, supporting the role of TraesCS5B02G545100 as the potential candidate gene linked to Qphs.ahau-5B.4. These results provide valuable information for the map-based cloning of Qphs.ahau-5B.4 and breeding of PHS resistant white-grained varieties.展开更多
