The Species to ID • Downy Mildews Primary Host • Peronosclerospora sorghi Sorghum • P. maydis Maize • P. sacchari Sugarcane • P. philippinensis* all the above • Sclerospora graminicola pearl millet • Peronospora sparsa rose
Common Characteristics of these Pathogens • Oomycetes-not true fungi • Asexual conidia if dew • Oospores from sexual reproduction in crop residue • Obligate parasites • Can’t grow in pure culture • Can’t cross on demand • Species differ in host preference and size of asexual “conidia” • Unknown genome size • No “marker” mutants or gene maps
P. sorghi • conidia-asexual spores • antheridum and oogonium forming in leaf tissue
Chenglin Yao, PhD • China quarantine service • Protect against P. philippinensis • Classify via average spore size in grain samples? • We have P. sorghi

This sequence has been used to develop Real Time PCR primers & probe for rapid detection of SDM
Are other regions useful for species comparisons? How about rDNA? -present in many copies per genome -extremely conserved in LS and SS regions -sequences maintained by “concerted evolution” -nontranscribed spacers between units -internal spacers cut out after transcription -data from other species suggest these represent species-specific sequences

Anthracnose resistance Objective: Identify DNA-based markers that co-segregate with gene “Cg1” that confers resistance to Colletotrichum graminicola Tools: AFLP & SSR markers (from BAC contig sequences) Cross: SC748-5 (resistant) by BTx 635 (susceptible)

Segregation for anthracnose resistance and susceptibility in F2 population from a cross between BTx623 (susceptible parent) and SC748-5 (resistant parent) This is a subset of the population tested by Mehta et al. (2005)
F2 progeny selected for DNA analysis Parents: BTx 623 x SC 748-5 (Susceptible) (Resistant) F1 self pollinations Homozygous Homozygous Heterozygous Resistant Susceptible Segregating (29) (29) (13) Disease genotypes of F2 individuals verified in F3/F4 for use in gene tagging These must be correct!!

Cosegregation of AFLP marker Xtxa6227 and the Cg1 locus in F2-3 progeny derived from the cross of BTx623 and SC748-5. AFLP templates from parental inbreds BTx623 (cg1cg1) and SC748-5 (Cg1Cg1) and IS3620C (mapping parent) were run as controls to aid in the identification of polymorphic bands. Co-segregation of dominant SSR marker SSR 1 and the cgf1 locus in F2-3 progeny derived from the cross of ATx623 and SC748-5. Genomic DNA from parental inbreds BTx623 (cg1cg1) and SC748-5 (Cg1Cg1) were run to aid in the identification of parental alleles for SSR 1. The amplified band from the SSR 1allele was 152 bp (BTx623) or 155 bp (SC748-5)
Relative positions of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and Simple Sequence repeats (SSRs) markers linked to gene cg1 in the off-end of linkage group J in a segregating population derived from the cross BTx623*SC748-5
Conclusions • SC748-5 - major dominant gene • AFLP - Xtxa6227 - linked in coupling phase 1.8 cM from cg1 (LG 5) • SSR1- (CT)8 repeat motif- 3.5 cM [5’CCATGAATGGACTCGCTGT3’ & 5’CGGAACAGTAAAACCAACGA3’] - BAC clone [117e5_04 that contains txa455(05)] • First report placing a gene for resistance to Colletotrichum graminicola on the sorghum molecular marker map
Identification, chromosome location, and diagnostic markers for a new gene (Shs1) for resistance to sorghum head smut • Objectives: • Determining the inheritance and chromosomal location of the of sorghum head smut (Sporisorium reilianum) resistance gene Shs1 from BTx635 • Identification of markers linked to the Shs1 using high throughput AFLP technology • Conversion of dominant AFLP marker into STSs/SCARs marker derived by cloning and sequencing specific AFLP marker
