Genetic analysis of oviposition deterrence to orange wheat blossom midge in spring wheat.
KEY MESSAGE: A major QTL for oviposition deterrence to orange wheat blossom midge was detected on chromosome 1A in the Canadian breeding line BW278 that was inherited from the Chinese variety Sumai-3. Orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM, Sitodiplosis mosellana Géhin, Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is an important insect pest of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that reduces both grain yield and quality. Oviposition deterrence results in a reduction of eggs deposited on spikes relative to that observed on a wheat line preferred by OWBM. Quantification of oviposition deterrence is labor-intensive, so wheat breeders require efficient DNA markers for the selection of this trait. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for oviposition deterrence in a doubled haploid (DH) population developed from the spring wheat cross Superb/BW278. The DH population and check varieties were evaluated for OWBM kernel damage from five field nurseries over three growing seasons. QTL analysis identified major effect loci on chromosomes 1A (QSm.mrc-1A) and 5A (QSm.mrc-5A). Reduced kernel damage was contributed by BW278 at QSm.mrc-1A and Superb at QSm.mrc-5A. QSm.mrc-1A mapped to the approximate location of the oviposition deterrence QTL previously found in the American variety Reeder. However, haplotype analysis revealed that BW278 inherited this oviposition deterrence allele from the Chinese spring wheat variety Sumai-3. QSm.mrc-5A mapped to the location of awn inhibitor gene B1, suggesting that awns hinder OWBM oviposition. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified for predicting the presence or absence of QSm.mrc-1A based upon haplotype. Functional annotation of candidate genes in 1A QTL intervals revealed eleven potential candidate genes, including a gene involved in terpenoid biosynthesis. SNPs for QSm.mrc-1A and fully awned spikes provide a basis for the selection of oviposition deterrence to OWBM.
