Abstract
A total of 7654 DNA fragments were screened for linkage to wheat powdery mildew resistance gene Pm1c employing fluorescently based AFLP analysis and phenotypic pools from F3 families. F3 and derived F4 families were used for segregation analysis. Pool screening revealed several cosegregating and tightly linked (0.9 cM) AFLP markers for the Pm1c resistance gene. The previously reported RFLP locus Xwhs178 was integrated into the AFLP map in the vicinity of Pm1c. One AFLP marker, 18M2, was determined to be highly specific for the Pm1c gene in diverse genetic backgrounds. As Pm1c allele confers an effective resistance to powdery mildew, the marker 18M2 provides a valuable tool for enhancing marker assisted selection and pyramiding of powdery mildew resistance genes in wheat.
