Mapping of the apple scab-resistance gene Vb.

Apple scab, caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis, is the major production constraint in temperate zones with humid springs. Normally, its control relies on frequent and regular fungicide applications. Because this control strategy has come under increasing criticism, major efforts are being directed toward the breeding of scab-resistant apple cultivars. Modern apple breeding programs include the use of molecular markers, making it possible to combine several different scab-resistance genes in 1 apple cultivar (pyramiding) and to speed up the breeding process. The apple scab-resistance gene Vb is derived from the Siberian crab apple 'Hansen's baccata #2', and is 1 of the 6 "historical" major apple scab-resistance genes (Vf, Va, Vr, Vbj, Vm, and Vb). Molecular markers have been published for all these genes, except Vr. In testcross experiments conducted in the 1960s, it was reported that Vb segregated independently from 3 other major resistance genes, including Vf. Recently, however, Vb and Vf have both been mapped on linkage group 1, a result that contrasts with the findings from former testcross experiments. In this study, simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to identify the precise position of Vb in a cross of 'Golden Delicious' (vbvb) and 'Hansen's baccata #2' (Vbvb). A genome scanning approach, a fast method already used to map apple scab-resistance genes Vr2 and Vm, was used, and the Vb locus was identified on linkage group 12, between the SSR markers Hi02d05 and Hi07f01. This finding confirms the independent segregation of Vb from Vf. With the identification of SSR markers linked to Vb, another major apple scab-resistance gene has become available; breeders can use it to develop durable resistant cultivars with several different resistance genes.

Polyphenol gene expression and changes in anthocyanins and polyphenols in the skin of ‘Braeburn’ apples after the autumn application of prohexadione-calcium

Prohexadione-calcium (Pro-Ca) transient inhibits 2-Oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases and causes significant changes in the flavonoid spectrum of apple. In the present study the influence of two autumn preharvest applications of Pro-Ca on the polyphenol metabolism in apple peel during the advanced maturation was investigated. Pro-Ca was sprayed in two doses, approximately five and 3 weeks before the technological maturity. Changes in the concentrations of hydroxycinnamic acids, dihydrochalcones, flavonols, flavanols and anthocyanins as well as their related gene expression and enzyme activities in the apple peel were monitored six times during the advanced maturation until the technological maturity of the fruits. To evaluate its influence on red coloration differences in the chromatic values a*, h° and L* between the treated and untreated apples were monitored. The parameters showed a temporary effect of Pro-Ca on the intensity of red coloration, which was not detected anymore at the technological maturity of apples. The application of Pro-Ca decreased the flavanone 3-hydroxylase activity and slightly inhibited activities of all the enzymes analyzed. Concomitantly, the concentrations of anthocyanins in the peel of the treated apples decreased, whereas the concentrations of hydroxycinnamic acids, dihydrochalcones and flavan 3-ols increased. Flavonol concentrations, however, remained unchanged. The expression of ANS, ANR, FGT and MYB10 was downregulated after the Pro-Ca treatment. The results indicate that the autumn application of Pro-Ca modulates the biosynthetic pathway resulting in distinct changes in the flavonoid composition in the apple peel of ‘Braeburn’ apples. However, the changes are temporary and are generally suspended during apple storage.     

Overexpression of MsDREB6.2 results in cytokinin‐deficient developmental phenotypes and enhances drought tolerance in transgenic apple plants

Dehydration‐responsive element binding factors (DREBs) play important roles in plant growth, development, and stress signaling pathways in model plants. However, little is known about the function of DREBs in apple (Malus × domestica), a widely cultivated crop that is frequently threatened by drought. We isolated a DREB gene from Malus sieversii (Ledeb.) Roem., MsDREB6.2, and investigated its functions using overexpression analysis and c himeric re pressor gene‐s ilencing t echnology (CRES‐T). We identified possible target genes of the protein encoded by MsDREB6.2 using electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Overexpression of MsDREB6.2 increased the expression of a key cytokinin (CK) catabolism gene, MdCKX4a, which led to a significant reduction in endogenous CK levels, and caused a decrease in shoot:root ratio in transgenic apple plants. Overexpression of MsDREB6.2 resulted in a decrease in stomatal aperture and density and an increase in root hydraulic conductance (L₀), and thereby enhanced drought tolerance in transgenic plants. Furthermore, manipulating the level of MsDREB6.2 expression altered the expression of two aquaporin (AQP) genes. The effect of the two AQP genes on L₀ was further characterized using the AQP inhibitor HgCl₂. Based on these observations, we conclude that MsDREB6.2 enhances drought tolerance and that its function may be due, at least in part, to its influence on stomatal opening, root growth, and AQP expression. These results may have applications in apple rootstock breeding programs aimed at developing drought‐resistant apple varieties.

The development of a cisgenic apple plant

Cisgenesis represents a step toward a new generation of GM crops. The lack of selectable genes (e.g. antibiotic or herbicide resistance) in the final product and the fact that the inserted gene(s) derive from organisms sexually compatible with the target crop should rise less environmental concerns and increase consumer's acceptance. Here we report the generation of a cisgenic apple plant by inserting the endogenous apple scab resistance gene HcrVf2 under the control of its own regulatory sequences into the scab susceptible apple cultivar Gala. A previously developed method based on Agrobacterium-mediated transformation combined with a positive and negative selection system and a chemically inducible recombination machinery allowed the generation of apple cv. Gala carrying the scab resistance gene HcrVf2 under its native regulatory sequences and no foreign genes. Three cisgenic lines were chosen for detailed investigation and were shown to carry a single T-DNA insertion and express the target gene HcrVf2. This is the first report of the generation of a true cisgenic plant.     

Development of sequence-characterized amplified regions (SCARs) from amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers tightly linked to the Vf gene in apple.

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers have become widely used in saturating the region of a gene of interest for the ultimate goal of map-based cloning of the gene or for marker-assisted selection. However, conversion of AFLP markers into restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) or polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based markers will greatly expand their usefulness in genetic applications. Previously, we have identified 15 AFLP markers tightly linked to the Vf gene conferring scab resistance in apple. In this study, we have successfully converted 11 of these AFLPs into sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers. Of the remaining four nonconverted AFLP markers, one, ET2MC8-1, has been found to be very short (83 base pairs) and is an A/T rich (90%) marker; a second, EA2MG11-1, has shown identical sequences between Malus floribunda 821 (the original source of the Vf gene) and scab-susceptible apple cultivars; while the other two, EA12MG16-1 and ET8MG1-1, have not been cloned. Using the 11 converted SCAR markers along with 5 previously identified SCAR markers, a high-resolution linkage map around the Vf gene has been constructed, and found to be consistent with its corresponding AFLP map. Three converted SCAR markers (ACS-3, -7, and -9) are inseparable from the Vf gene; whereas one (ACS-6) is located left of, and the remaining seven (ACS-1, -2, -4, -5, -8, -10, and -11) are located right of the Vf gene at genetic distances of 0.4 and 0.2 cM, respectively. A reliable and robust procedure for development of SCAR markers from AFLP markers is presented.     

Vf scab resistance of Malus

The apple production in temperate regions with spring rains, the Scab caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis is the most important constraint. To produce spotless apples and avoid damage that develops during storage, growers apply fungicide on a regular or weather-determined basis. All major apple cultivars are highly susceptible to this disease. To limit the need for fungicide applications, apple breeders are currently introgressing disease resistance from wild Malus accessions into commercial lines. The first attempts to do this were made 100 years ago. As apples are self-incompatible, pseudo-backcrossing is used to eliminate unwanted traits from wild Malus and select new cultivars that are attractive to both producers and consumers. This process, from the first cross of a commercial cultivar with a wild, disease-resistant Malus, is extremely long due to apple’s long juvenile phase, the need for more than seven backcross steps and the high heterozygosity of this genus. Therefore, most of today’s scab-resistant cultivars rely on a single introduction of scab resistance from Malus floribunda 821, referred to as Vf. In this paper, we trace the history of Vf from its initial identification through its use in breeding and commercial production. We sum up the literature describing how and where Vf resistance has been overcome by new pathotypes of V. inaequalis. Finally, we describe the current knowledge of the genes behind Vf resistance, its mode of action and the use of Vf genes in gene technology.
