Abstract
Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance against non-parasitic leaf spots (NPLS) were first characterized in a spring barley double haploid population derived from the cross IPZ 24727/Barke (Behn et al., 2004). The aim of the present study was to identify QTLs for NPLS resistance in the half-sibling DH population IPZ 24727/Krona and to compare them with the QTLs of the population IPZ 24727/Barke. An anther culture-derived doubled haploid population of 536 DH lines was developed from the cross IPZ 24727 (resistant)/Krona (susceptible). Field trials were performed over two years in two replications, scoring NPLS and agronomic traits that might interact with NPLS. A molecular linkage map of 1035 cM was constructed based on AFLPs, SSRs and the mlo marker. QTL analyses for NPLS identified three QTLs that accounted for 30% of the phenotypic variation. For comparison of the QTLs from each DH population, a consensus map was generated comprising 277 markers with a length of 1199 cM. In both populations, the QTLs for NPLS mapped to chromosomes 1H, 4H and 7H. A common QTL with a great effect in both populations and over all environments was localized at the mlo locus on chromosome 4H, indicating that the mlo powdery mildew resistance locus has a considerable effect on NPLS susceptibility. The steps necessary to validate the QTLs and to improve the NPLS resistance by breeding were discussed.
