Leaf rust and powdery mildew are two important foliar diseases in wheat. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, obtained by crossing two bread wheat cultivars ('Victo' and 'Spada'), was evaluated for resistance to the two pathogens at seedling stage. Upon developing a genetic map of 8726 SNP loci, linkage analysis identified three resistance Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs), with 'Victo' contributing the resistant alleles to all loci. One major QTL (Q Pm. gb-7A) was detected in response to Blumeria graminis on chromosome 7A, which explained 90% of phenotypic variation (PV). The co-positional relationship with known powdery mildew ( Pm ) resistance loci suggested that a new source of resistance was identified in T. aestivum . Two QTLs were detected in response to Puccinia triticina : a major gene on chromosome 5D (Q Lr .gb-5D), explaining a total PV of about 59%, and a minor QTL on chromosome 2B (Q Lr .gb-2B). A positional relationship was observed between the Q Lr .gb-5D with the known Lr 1 gene, but polymorphisms were found between the cloned Lr 1 and the corresponding 'Victo' allele, suggesting that Q Lr .gb-5D could represent a new functional Lr 1 allele. Lastly, upon anchoring the QTL on the T. aestivum reference genome, candidate genes were hypothesized on the basis of gene annotation and in silico gene expression analysis.
