Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) is among the most important diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) globally. Utilization of adult plant resistance (APR) constitutes a key tool for maintaining protection against this disease. The CIMMYT wheat cultivar P10057 displayed a high level of APR to stripe rust in germplasm evaluation in field environments. To clarify the genetic basis and identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) involved in stripe rust resistance in P10057, three wheat populations were used: 150 F-5:6 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the cross Mingxian 169 x P10057, and 161 and 140 F-2:3 lines from Avocet S x P10057 and Zhengmai 9023 x P10057, respectively. These three populations were evaluated for infection type (IT) and disease severity (DS) in Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan during the 2014-15 and 2015-16 cropping seasons. Genotyping was performed with Kompetitive Allelic Specific PCR (KASP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers linked to the resistance loci. Using QTL analysis, two genomic regions associated with resistance were found on chromosome arms 2BS and 3BS, respectively. These two stable QTLs, designated Qyrlov.nwafu-2BS and Qyrlov.nwafu-3BS, were detected across all environments and explained average 22.6 to 31.6% and 21.3 to 32.3% of stripe rust severity phenotypic variation, respectively. Qyrlov.nwafu-2BS may be the resistance allele derived from CIMMYT germplasm and Qyrlov.nwafu-3BS likely corresponds to the locus Sr2/Lr27/Yr30/Pbc. The KASP markers IWA5377, IWA2674, and IWA5830 linked to QYrlov.nwafu-2BS and IWB57990 and IWB6491 linked to Qyrlov.nwafu-3BS were reliable for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in the Zhengmai 9023 x P10057 population. These QTLs with KASP markers are expected to contribute in developing wheat cultivars with improved stripe rust resistance.
