The fungal pathogen Claviceps purpurea<\/em> infects ovaries of a broad range of temperate grasses and cereals, including hexaploid wheat, causing a disease commonly known as ergot. Sclerotia produced in place of seed carry a cocktail of harmful alkaloid compounds that result in a range of symptoms in humans and animals, causing ergotism. Following a field assessment of C. purpurea<\/em> infection in winter wheat, two varieties \u2018Robigus\u2019 and \u2018Solstice\u2019 were selected which consistently produced the largest differential effect on ergot sclerotia weights. They were crossed to produce a doubled haploid mapping population, and a marker map, consisting of 714 genetic loci and a total length of 2895\u00a0cM was produced. Four ergot reducing QTL were identified using both sclerotia weight and size as phenotypic parameters; QCp.niab.2A<\/em> and QCp.niab.4B<\/em> being detected in the wheat variety \u2018Robigus\u2019, and QCp.niab.6A<\/em> and QCp.niab.4D<\/em> in the variety \u2018Solstice\u2019. The ergot resistance QTL QCp.niab.4B<\/em> and QCp.niab.4D<\/em> peaks mapped to the same markers as the known reduced height (Rht<\/em>) loci on chromosomes 4B and 4D, Rht<\/em>–B1<\/em> and Rht<\/em>–D1<\/em>, respectively. In both cases, the reduction in sclerotia weight and size was associated with the semi-dwarfing alleles, Rht<\/em>–B1b<\/em> from \u2018Robigus\u2019 and Rht<\/em>–D1b<\/em> from \u2018Solstice\u2019. Two-dimensional, two-QTL scans identified significant additive interactions between QTL QCp.niab.4B<\/em> and QCp.niab.4D<\/em>, and between QCp.niab.2A<\/em> and QCp.niab.4B<\/em> when looking at sclerotia size, but not between QCp.niab.2A<\/em> and QCp.niab.4D<\/em>. The two plant height QTL, QPh.niab.4B<\/em> and QPh.niab.4D<\/em>, which mapped to the same locations as QCp.niab.4B<\/em> and QCp.niab.4D,<\/em> also displayed significant genetic interactions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
