Enhancing soybean rust resistance through Rpp2,
   Rpp3 and Rpp4 pair wise gene pyramiding




   M. Maphosa, Talwana, H & Tukamuhabwa, P
Introduction

•Soybean rust is an obligate fungal parasite with multiple
hosts
•It is a polycyclic disease with multiple re-infections

•Genetic resistance is a long term solution

•However, single genes have been overcome in certain
areas whilst others show increasing susceptibility

•To enhance single gene resistance & broaden the base for
available resistance genes
Introduction


•Conventional gene pyramiding is a challenge

•It is not practically feasible in some cases

•Marker assisted gene pyramiding may be a possible solution

•Given that some of the resistance genes have markers
associated with them

•No attempt has be done to use identified SSR for MAS
pyramiding & effect of pyramiding genes
Study 1

•Validate the use of SSR in pyramiding resistance genes Rpp2,
Rpp3 and Rpp4

Study 1
Study 2


•Evaluating the most effective resistance gene combination
using sporulation & severity indices
Study 2

• All parents has severities higher that the pair wise
combinations
•In the F3 generation
Major Findings

• Complementary gene interactions occurred resulting in
  enhanced resistance
• The effectiveness of resistance is influenced by the genetic
  background of introgression
• Independent genetic control of severity and sporulation in
  soybean rust
• Disproportinate contribution of resistance, Rpp3 more
  dominant
Recommendations

• MAS gene pyramiding is feasible

• Introgression to elite lines

• Evalution of pairwise genes in other areas

• Assessing for durability of the resistance
