A linkage map of diploid Avena based on RFLP loci and a locus conferring resistance to nine isolates of Puccinia coronata var. 'avenae'

An F2 oat population was produced by crossing the diploid (n=7) species Avena strigosa (CI 3815) with Avena wiestii (CI 1994), resistant and susceptible, respectively, to 40 isolates of Puccinia coronata, the causal agent of crown rust. 88 F2 individuals were used to construct an RFLP linkage map re...

Description
Summary:An F2 oat population was produced by crossing the diploid (n=7) species Avena strigosa (CI 3815) with Avena wiestii (CI 1994), resistant and susceptible, respectively, to 40 isolates of Puccinia coronata, the causal agent of crown rust. 88 F2 individuals were used to construct an RFLP linkage map representing the A genome of cultivated hexaploid oat. 208 RFLP loci have been placed into 10 linkage groups. This map covers 2416 cM, with an average of 12 cM between RFLP loci. 88 F3 lines, derived from F2 individuals used to construct the map, were screened for resistance to 9 isolates of P. coronata. One locus, Pca, was found to confer a dominant resistance phenotype to isolates 203, 258, 263, 264B, 290, 298, 325A, and 345. Pca also conferred resistance to isolate 276; however, an unlinked second gene may also be involved.
