Popis: | Sequence-based markers have added a new dimension in the efficiency of identifying alien introgressions in wheat. Expressed sequence tag-sequence tagged sites (EST-STS) markers have proved useful in tracing alien chromatin. In this study, we report the development of Thinopyrum bessarabicum- and Secale anatolicum-specific EST-STS markers and their application in tracing respective alien chromatin introgressions in wheat. The parental lines, Chinese Spring (CS), ISR991.1 (CS/Th. bessarabicum amphidiploid), and ISR1049.2 (CS/Secale anatolicum amphidiploid), were used as core experimental materials. Using comparative analysis of RNA-Seq data, 10 903 and 10 660 candidate sequences specific to Th. bessarabicum and S. anatolicum, respectively, were assembled and identified. To validate the genome specificity of these candidate sequences, 68 and 64 EST-STS markers were developed from randomly selected candidate sequences of Th. bessarabicum and S. anatolicum, respectively, and tested on sets of alien addition lines. Fifty-five and 53 markers for Th. bessarabicum and S. anatolicum chromatin, respectively, were assigned to chromosomal location(s), covering all seven chromosomes. Approximately 83% of S. anatolicum-specific markers were transferable to S. cereale. The genome-specific candidate sequences identified and the EST-STS markers developed will be valuable resources for exploitation of Th. bessarabicum and Secale species diversity in wheat and triticale breeding. |
