- Genome‐wide association study for powdery mildew resistance in CIMMYT 's spring wheat germplasm Deepa Bhadana Prabhjot Kaur Ramandeep Kaur Vikas Kumar Ravat Ashutosh Rahul Kumar Neeraj Kumar Vasistha Plant Pathology Abstract Powdery mildew (PM), caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is a foliar disease of wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) that adversely affects both grain yield and quality. Growing resistant cultivars offers an effective and environmentally sustainable solution to managing PM. However, relying on the same genetic source of resistance can lead to resistance breakdown as Bgt isolates rapidly evolve. To mitigate this, identifying novel resistance sources is crucial. In this study, 225 diverse wheat genotypes were evaluated at adult plant stage in disease nurseries over the three crop seasons (2018/2019, 2019/2020 and 2020/2021). Using disease and genotyping data from 12,160 single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to identify novel resistance loci. We identified 22 marker loci significantly (at p < 0.005) associated with PM resistance, distributed across 14 wheat chromosomes (1A, 1B, 1D, 2A, 2B, 2D, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, 5D, 6A, 7A and 7B). Of these, seven loci overlap with previously identified regions, while the remaining 15 loci represent novel regions reported for the first time in this study. The identified SNP markers have significant potential for wheat breeding programmes, as they can accelerate the development of PM‐resistant cultivars through marker‐assisted selection. 10.1111/ppa.14031 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
