Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the haplotype groups and identify the specific alleles associated with desirable agronomic characteristics in bread wheat. For this purpose, 42 local bread wheat genotypes belong to Iran region and nine commercial cultivars along with Chinese Spring variety (reference genotype) were cultivated in the format of augmented design and evaluated based on their 13 phenotypic traits. The results of descriptive statistics showed that awn length and day to flowering had the highest and lowest phenotypic coefficient of variation, respectively. Eight microsatellite markers were used to investigate the haplotype variation of QTLs associated with phenotypic traits located on wheat chromosomes 4B and 7D. The result showed that the genotypes were classified into 13 and 6 haplotype groups according to the allelic comparison with the reference genotype on chromosome 4B and 7D, respectively. In order to investigate the relationship between traits and markers, analysis of variance was performed based on completely randomized design with unequal numbers of replications for each marker. In general, of the 13 traits studied, there was a statistically significant linkage for eight traits and for the three traits, an allele-specific was introduced simultaneously. If the breeders are interested in genotype selection that simultaneously have three desirable characteristics such as early anthesis, semi-dwarfing and a greater number of grains per spike, they can use an allele-specific (153 bp) of Xgwm149-4B marker.

Abstract
To evaluate the effect of fungus Blumeria graminis (powdery mildew disease) on expression of genes associated with resistance reactions in barley, a susceptible cultivar (Afzal), a semi-susceptible genotype (Line 67) and a resistant genotype (Line 104) were selected. Following inoculation with Blumeria graminis at seedling stage, sampling was performed at different time points (0-10 days). Changes in gene expression levels were measured by qRT-PCR analysis. Analysis of molecular data showed that the genes encoding chitinase and glucanase as the key enzymes in fungal cell wall degradation, had higher expression levels in the resistant genotype (Line 104). The transcript level of chitinase in semi-susceptible genotype (Line 67) was lower than that of the resistant genotype (Line 104) and higher than that of the susceptible cultivar. Most transcripts of chitinase gene were seen at 12 hours post inoculation in the resistant genotype (Line 104), whereas the lowest expression level was recorded at the same time in the susceptible cultivar. The expression levels of the other two genes (glucanase and peroxidase) were higher in the resistant genotype (Line 104) than those in the susceptible cultivar. Increasing in MAPK transcripts in resistant genotype (Line 104) and its depletion in susceptible cultivar confirmed MAPK role in Hypersensitive response (HR) and defense responses of barley infected with powdery mildew disease. Based on the findings of this study, it appears that the HR in the resistant genotype initiated as early as six hours post inoculation, effectively hindering the penetration and dissemination of the pathogen within the plant. Such reaction was not observed in the semi-susceptible and susceptible barley plants, possibly due to delayed in responses, allowing the pathogen ample time to penetrate and propagate within the host plant. The results of this research can be used to evaluate the resistance level of cultivars and also to evaluate the resistance in the seedling stage of promising lines.
