Molecular identification of a Pm4 allele conferring powdery mildew resistance in durum wheat DR88
PmDR88 was mapped in the Pm4 locus. Despite sharing identical amino acid sequences with Pm4d, PmDR88 exhibits distinct expression patterns. Moreover, DR88 shows broad and high levels of resistance to powdery mildew. Two complementary DNA markers were identified for MAS breeding. The molecular identification of PmDR88 will facilitate transfer of this Pm4 allele into susceptible cultivars for resistance improvement or into resistant cultivars for resistance-enhanced pyramiding breeding.
