Abstrakt: Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor Say) is a significant pest in cereal crops, causing substantial yield losses worldwide. While host resistance is the most efficient method for pest control, research on genetic characterization of Hessian fly resistance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has been limited, and the underlying resistance mechanism remains largely unknown. In this study, we conducted fine mapping of a crucial Hessian fly resistance locus, known as HvRHF1, using a biparental population. Assisted with genetic markers and robust phenotyping assay, we pinpointed the HvRHF1 gene to an ~ 82 kb region on chromosome 4H. Gene prediction and annotation revealed that the HvRHF1 locus comprises three complete NBS-LRR genes, which are characteristic of disease resistance genes. As a result, our study not only provides valuable resources for resistance in barley and genetic tools for breeding, but also identifies candidate genes that lay the foundation for cloning HvRHF1. This endeavor will significantly contribute to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying cereal resistance to Hessian fly.
