Stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is a destructive disease that occurs throughout the major wheat-growing regions of the world. This pathogen is highly variable due to the capacity of virulent races to undergo rapid changes in order to circumvent resistance in wheat cultivars and genotypes and to adapt to different environments. Intensive efforts have been made to study the genetics of wheat resistance to this disease; however, no known avirulence genes have been molecularly identified in Pst so far. To identify molecular markers for avirulence genes, a Pst panel of 157 selected isolates representing 126 races with diverse virulence spectra was genotyped using 209 secreted protein gene-based single nucleotide polymorphism (SP-SNP) markers via association analysis. Nineteen SP-SNP markers were identified for significant associations with 12 avirulence genes: AvYr1, AvYr6, AvYr7, AvYr9, AvYr10, AvYr24, AvYr27, AvYr32, AvYr43, AvYr44, AvYrSP, and AvYr76. Some SP-SNPs were associated with two or more avirulence genes. These results further confirmed that association analysis in combination with SP-SNP markers is a powerful tool for identifying markers for avirulence genes. This study provides genomic resources for further studies on the cloning of avirulence genes, understanding the mechanisms of host–pathogen interactions, and developing functional markers for tagging specific virulence genes and race groups.
