Cotton bunchy top (CBT) is an aphid transmitted Polerovirus disease and a significant threat to the Australian cotton industry. Symptoms include stunted plant growth, and leaves often display pale green angular patterns at the leaf margins and dark green centers with a leathery texture. Resistance to CBT was evaluated in 206 F2 plants and 76 F2:3 families derived from the resistant cultivar ‘Delta...
The height-reducing gene Rht8 was introduced into Italian wheats by breeder Nazareno Strampelli from the Japanese landrace Akakomugi, and has been widely used in wheats adapted to southern and eastern European conditions. Following identification of a close linkage to Rht8, microsatellite marker Gwm261 has been used extensively to screen large numbers of diverse international germplasm. A 192bp allele...
The wheat microsatellite XGWM261 is of interest to wheat breeders because of its linkage to a commercially significant reduced height gene (Rht8). Previous studies have indicated that there are three major alleles at the XGWM261 locus and that the majority (90%) of varieties are homozygous, generating PCR products of 192,174, or 165 bp. As a preliminary investigation of heterozygosity and sequence...
