TAUMATHIN-LIKE PROTEIN AND OXALATE OXIDASE AS MARKERS OF WINTER WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.) RESISTANCE TO POWDERY MILDEW (ERYSIPHE GRAMINIS)
Abstract
In the present article, we studied a correlation between an increased resistance of winter wheat seedlings of different varieties to powdery mildew and high levels of constitutive expression of genes encoding one of two pathogenesisrelated proteins: thaumatin-like protein (Tlp) or oxalate oxidase (OxOxid). Highly resistant varieties have shown either high Tlp expression and low OxOxid expression or high OxOxid expression and low Tlp expression. We propose to use a combination of both Tlp and OxOxid gene expression levels as a marker for resistance of winter wheat breeding material to powdery mildew.
