Seedling and adult plant (field) resistance to yellow rust in the durum wheat ( ssp. ) cross Kunduru-1149 x Cham-1 was characterized using a functionally-targeted DNA marker system, NBS-profiling. Chi-squared analysis indicated a four gene model conferring seedling yellow rust resistance against f. sp. isolate WYR85/22 (virulent on , , and ). Interval mapping located two QTL for yellow rust resistance on the long arm of chromosome 1B, while Kruskal-Wallis single marker regression identified a number of additional marker loci associated with seedling and/or adult plant, field resistance to yellow rust. These results suggested that much of the yellow rust resistance seen in the field may be due to seedling expressed resistance (R) genes. Characterization of the DNA sequence of three NBS marker loci indicated that all showed significant homology to functionally-characterized R-genes and resistance gene analogues (RGAs), with the greatest homology being NBS-LRR-type R-genes and RGAs from cereal species.

Over the past two decades, genomic prediction (GP), also known as genomic selection (GS), has been widely adopted in plant and animal breeding programs worldwide. GP is a promising approach that utilizes genomic markers to estimate genomic-estimated breeding values (GEBVs), facilitating the selection of superior individuals. In this study, we assessed the performance of five GP models- Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (GBLUP), Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space regression (RKHS) and Bayesian methods (BayesA, BayesB, and BayesC)-for predicting seedling and adult plant resistance (APR) to leaf/brown rust (LR), stem/black rust (SR), and yellow/stripe rust (YR) in wheat using a panel of 347 diverse germplasm accessions.
