METHODOLOGY
Powdery mildew resistant lines (Table 1) NC96BGTD3 (NCD3), NC96BGTA5 (NCA5), NC96BGTA6 (NCA6) and NC97BGTD7 (NCD7) were each crossed to the susceptible cultivar ‘Saluda’F2 derived lines (90-120) from these four populations were evaluated for their disease reaction in greenhouse and field experiments following inoculation and rating procedures described by Srnic et al. (2005).Germplasm x germplasm populations: NCD3xNCD7, NCA6xNCD7, NCA5xNCD7 and NCA5xNC99BGTAG11(NCAG11) were also rated in the field (Srnic et al. 2005 identified SSR markers for NCAG11) DNA extractions followed method by Stein et al. (2001) and PCR protocols for the linkage analysis with SSR markers were performed as described by Srnic et al.(2005).Virulence test followed procedure by Leath and Heun (1990) with powdery mildew isolates provided by R. Parks and C. Cowger (USDA-ARS Raleigh, NC)
INTRODUCTION
•Powdery mildew of wheat, caused by Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici, is a prevalent fungal disease in the southeastern United States. •Host resistance as a method to control the disease requires plant breeders to constantly search for new resistance sources.•The North Carolina State University (NCSU) Small Grains Programs has released 11 germplasm lines with powdery mildew resistance introgressed from diploid and tetraploid wheat relatives into the soft red winter wheat cultivar ‘Saluda’.
Molecular markers
SSR markers linked to the four powdery mildew
resistance genes were found.Linkage maps were constructed (Figures 2 and 3)

Candidate new Pm genes
Pm genes in NC lines were putatively assigned to specific chromosome arms based on the chromosomal location of the SSR markers linked to them but not all SSR markers found are reported to be chromosome specific in the literature. Only NCD7 and NCD3 genes are in a chromosome arm were no order Pm gene has been reported (5DL).Pm 2 is also located in chromosome 5D but in the short arm.Virulence test differentiated among disease reactions of NCD7, NCD3 and Ulka (Pm2) (Table 2, Figure 4)Chromosomal location of all SSR markers linked to the NCD7 Pm resistance was confirmed using Nullitetrasomic (Nulli5D-tetra5A) and ditelosomic 5DL (DT5DL) ‘Chinese spring’ lines:
SSR marker bands for Xbarc144, Xbarc177 and Xgwm 272 were absent in Nullisomic 5D but present in DT5DL and in Chinese spring (Figure 5)
Additional markers are needed to confirm chromosomal location of NCD3 gene.
Germplasm x germplasm populations
Codominant SSR markers were used to selected for homozygous resistant lines among those phenotypically
scored as resistant.

OBJECTIVES
To determine the mode of inheritance of powdery mildew resistance in four wheat germplasm lines developed by NCSU Small Grains Program (Table 1)To identify microsatellite (SSR) markers linked to these powdery mildew resistance genes that can be used for Marker Assisted Selection (MAS).

Results
Phenotypic analysis
Greenhouse and field disease ratings (Figure 1) showed segregation for powdery mildew resistance as a monogenic dominant trait for all germplasm lines (X2 tests for 1 resistant:2 segregating:1 susceptible ratio were non significant, P>0.46).Germplasm x germplasm populations fitted a digenic model except for NCD3xNCD7.

Conclusions
Powdery mildew resistance is inherited as a monogenic dominant trait in the four NC germplasm lines included in the study.SSR markers found can be used to be develop lines with pyramids of Pm genes or to facilitate the incorporation of these new resistance sources into cultivar development programs.The powdery mildew resistance gene in NCD7 is postulated as a new Pm gene.
