Genome-wide association study identified genetic loci for resistance against Septoria nodorum blotch and tan spot in wheat, highlighting significant marker-trait associations.
Key Points
Resistance against Septoria nodorum blotch was found in 53% of lines, aiding in wheat breeding.
Approximately 60% of the lines exhibited resistance to tan spot, indicating potential breeding options.
Markers for SNB resistance were located near the Tsn1 gene on chromosome 5B, crucial for breeding.
Identification of quantitative trait loci on various chromosomes could enhance wheat disease resistance.
