title: Development of the single nucleotide polymorphism marker of the wheat Lr1 leaf rust resistance gene.
abstract: The range of publicly available data on plant nucleotide sequences opens a new possibility in the design of SNP assays. The purpose of this study was to identify point mutations in genomic sequences closely linked to the Lr1 leaf rust resistance gene, and to develop SNP markers based on primer extension (SNuPE) facilitating efficient marker-based selection procedures, e.g. the pyramiding of resistance genes. Studies were performed on the panel of 37 wheat cultivars, the set of 41 Thatcher near-isogenic lines of spring wheat and on the 21 individuals derived from doubled-haploid (DH) lines derived from 'Henika' (Lr1) x 'IPG-SW-14'. A minisequencing reaction run with Lr1_98F primer detected four genotypes (T, C+T, C and "null") in the set of all Triticum aestivum varieties tested. In this study, it turned out that the T allele is associated with the Lr1 gene in a wide genetic background.
