BGN  48:180 Export to PDF
Stock number: BGS 751
Locus name: Reaction to Puccinia graminis 7 (wheat stem rust) 
Locus symbol: Rpg7

Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:

None.

Inheritance:

Monofactorial dominant (1).
Located in chromosome 3HL (1); Rpg7.i is near the telomeric region of 3HL (1) between 135 and 155 cM based on the POPSEQ consensus map or between 667 and 693 Mbp based on the barley physical map.

Description:

The Rpg7.j gene confers moderate seedling resistance, Infection Types (ITs) 0;1 to 23, to a wide spectrum of domestic and foreign races of the wheat stem rust pathogen Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) and also to an isolate of rye stem rust pathogen P. graminis f. sp. secalis (Pgs) (2). Accessions WBDC094 (ICARDA number: 40035 and USDA National Small Grains Collection number PI 681809) from Karak, Jordan and WBDC238 (ICARDA number: 40037; PI 681943) from Amman, Jordan were resistant as seedlings to Pgt race HKHJC in a greenhouse evaluation (2). Additional molecular and genetic studies revealed this gene to be novel; thus, a new locus designation, Rpg7, and an allele designation, Rpg7.i, were recommended (1, 2).
