Alien Gene Transfer in Crop Plants, Volume 2

Abstract

Oat (Avena sativa L.) productivity is affected by crown rust (Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae) and stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. avenae) worldwide. Control of these diseases has been through the use of host resistance genes, but frequent changes in pathogen virulence provide a continuing threat to oat production. Wild oat species have been a major source of diversity for the improvement of cultivated oat. Many rust resistance genes, as well as genes providing resistance to other major oat diseases, have been found in wild oat species, landraces as well as in cultivated species and have been utilised in plant breeding. However, the transfer of resistance from wild diploid and tetraploid species to cultivated hexaploid oat is difficult because their chromosomes do not pair readily. Nevertheless, many improved oat cultivars possess alien-derived rust resistance genes and occupy considerable acreage in the major oat-producing regions of the world. This chapter reviews the major developments and their impacts on oat breeding, specifically through alien gene transfer from wild and related species.
