Saturation of two chromosome regions conferring resistance to SCMV with SSR and AFLP markers by targeted BSA

Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and bulked segregant analyses (BSA) identified the major genes Scmv1 on chromosome 6 and Scmv2 on chromosome 3, conferring resistance against sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) in maize. Both chromosome regions were further enriched for SSR and AFLP markers by targeted bulked segregant analysis (tBSA) in order to identify and map only markers closely linked to either Scmv1 or Scmv2. For identification of markers closely linked to the target genes, symptomless individuals of advanced backcross generations BC5 to BC9 were employed. All AFLP markers, identified by tBSA using 400 EcoRI/ MseI primer combinations, mapped within both targeted marker intervals. Fourteen SSR and six AFLP markers mapped to the Scmv1 region. Eleven SSR and 18 AFLP markers were located in the Scmv2 region. Whereas the linear order of SSR markers and the window size for the Scmv2 region fitted well with publicly available genetic maps, map distances and window size differed substantially for the Scmv1 region on chromosome 6. A possible explanation for the observed discrepancies is the presence of two closely linked resistance genes in the Scmv1 region.     

Cloning of AFLP markers linked to resistance to Peronosclerospora sorghi in maize

Genetic mapping of resistance genes for sorghum downy mildew (SDM) in maize revealed multiple-locus inheritance. A combination of AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) technique with bulked segregant analysis (BSA) was applied to map the genes involved in the resistance to SDM (Peronosclerospora sorghi) in a recombinant inbred population. Three AFLP markers were identified and mapped to chromosomes 1 and 9, in regions previously associated with SDM resistance. One other AFLP marker was found to be associated with disease susceptibility but could not be linked to any chromosome. These four AFLP fragments were isolated, cloned and sequenced. A BLAST search of the GenBank database showed that none of these four sequences was closely related to resistance genes that have been reported previously. Sequence-characterized amplified regions (SCARs) were produced and used to assess the presence of SDM resistance genes and characterize specific genotypes. These markers may be useful in marker-assisted breeding programs.     

Brassica napus DNA markers linked to white rust resistance in Brassica juncea

White rust, caused by Albugo candida, is an economically important disease of Brassica juncea mustard. The most efficient and cost effective way of protecting mustard plants from white rust is through genetic resistance. The development of canola quality B. juncea through interspecific crosses of B. juncea with Brassica napus has lead to the introgression of white rust resistance from B. napus into B. juncea. The objective of this study was to identify DNA markers for white rust resistance, derived from the introgressed B. napus chromosome segment, in a BC(3)F(2) population of condiment B. juncea mustard. This segregating population was phenotyped for white rust reaction and used to screen for AFLP markers associated with white rust resistance using bulked segregant analysis. Segregation data indicated that a single dominant gene controlled resistance to white rust. Eight AFLP markers linked to white rust resistance were identified, all derived from B. napus. The B. napus chromosome segment, carrying the white rust resistance gene ( Ac2V(1)), appeared to have recombined with the B. juncea DNA since recombinant individuals were identified. Comparative mapping of the eight B. napus-derived AFLP markers in a typical B. napus mapping population was inconclusive; therefore, the size of the introgressed B. napus fragment could not be determined.     

AFLP markers linked to resistance against Striga gesnerioides race 1 in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata).

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was used in combination with bulked segregant analysis (BSA) to identify molecular markers linked to two cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) genes conferring resistance to Striga gesnerioides race 1. After AFLP analysis of an F2 population derived from a cross between the resistant cultivar Gorom and the susceptible cultivar Tvx 3236, seven AFLP markers were identified that are linked to Rsg3, the gene conferring race I resistance in 'Gorom'. The distances between these markers and Rsg3 ranged from 9.9 to 2.5 cM, with two markers, E-AGA/M-CTA460 and E-AGA/M-CAG300, flanking Rsg3 at 2.5 and 2.6 cM, respectively. Analysis of a second F2 population derived from the cross between 'Tvx 3236' and the resistant cultivar IT81D-994 identified five AFLP markers linked to the race 1 resistance gene 994-Rsg present in 'IT81D-994'. The two markers showing the tightest linkage to the 994-Rsg locus were E-AAG/M-AAC450 and E-AAG/M-AAC150 at 2.1 and 2.0 cM, respectively. Two of the markers linked to 994-Rsg, E-AGA/M-CAG300 and E-AGA/M-CAG450, were also linked to Rsg3. The identification of molecular markers in common between the two sources of race 1 resistance suggests that either Striga resistance genes are clustered in these plants or that these loci are allelic. Mapping of the resistance loci within the cowpea genome revealed that three markers linked to Rsg3 and (or) 994-Rsg are located on linkage group 6.     

High-resolution genetic map of Nb,a gene that confers hypersensitive resistance to potato virus X in Solanum tuberosum

Nb is a single dominant gene in potato that confers hypersensitive resistance to potato virus X (PVX) isolates from strain groups 1 and 2. Genetic and molecular analyses showed that Nb is located on the upper arm of chromosome V and forms part of a cluster of resistance genes encoding specificities to many different pathogens. We describe the genetical localisation of molecular markers tightly linked to the Nb locus and the development PCR-based markers suitable for isolation of the Nb resistance gene by positional cloning. A bulked segregant approach was applied to identify polymorphic AFLP markers tightly linked to the Nb locus. These markers were mapped in a population of segregating S1 progeny (1,300 plants) from a self-pollinated potato cultivar, Pentland Ivory. From this analysis, Nb was placed in an interval of 0.76 cM, flanked by the AFLP markers GM339 and GM637. Recombinant PVX strains carrying different combinations of avirulence genes were used in biological assays to show that Nb was also present in potato cv. Cara but was masked by the extreme PVX resistance conferred by the Rx gene. PCR-based screening of a Cara genomic BAC library with markers closest to the Nb locus identified a new marker tightly linked to Nb.     

SCAR markers linked to the common bean rust resistance gene Ur-13

Rust in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is caused by Uromyces appendiculatus Pers.:Pers. (Unger) which exhibits a high level of pathogenic diversity. Resistance to this disease is conditioned by a considerable number of genes. Pyramiding resistance genes is desirable and could be simplified by the use of molecular markers closely linked to the genes. The resistance gene Ur-13, present in the South African large seeded cultivar Kranskop, has been used extensively in the local breeding program. The purpose of this study was the development of a molecular marker linked to Ur-13. An F₂ population derived from a cross between Kranskop and a susceptible (South African) cultivar Bonus was used in combination with bulked segregant analysis utilizing the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique. Seven AFLP fragments linked significantly to the rust resistance and five were successfully converted to sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers. The co-dominant SCAR markers derived from a 405 bp EAACMACC fragment, KB126, was located 1.6 cM from the gene. Two additional SCAR markers and one cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence marker were located further from the gene. The gene was mapped to linkage group B8 on the BAT 93/Jalo EEP 558 core map (chromosome 3).     

Identification of AFLP fragments linked to seed coat colour in Brassica juncea and conversion to a SCAR marker for rapid selection

A Brassica juncea mapping population was generated and scored for seed coat colour. A combination of bulked segregant analysis and AFLP methodology was employed to identify markers linked to seed coat colour in B. juncea. AFLP analysis using 16 primer combinations revealed seven AFLP markers polymorphic between the parents and the bulks. Individual plants from the segregating population were analysed, and three AFLP markers were identified as being tightly linked to the seed coat colour trait and specific for brown-seeded individuals. Since AFLP markers are not adapted for large-scale application in plant breeding, our objective was to develop a fast, cheap and reliable PCR-based assay. Towards this goal, we employed PCR-walking technology to isolate sequences adjacent to the linked AFLP marker. Based on the sequence information of the cloned flanking sequence of marker AFLP8, primers were designed. Amplification using the locus-specific primers generated bands at 0.5 kb and 1.2 kb with the yellow-seeded parent and a 1.1-kb band with the brown-seeded parent. Thus, the dominant AFLP marker (AFLP8) was converted into a simple codominant SCAR (Sequence Characterized Amplified Region) marker and designated as SCM08. Scoring of this marker in a segregating population easily distinguished yellow- and brown-seeded B. juncea and also differentiated between homozygous (BB) and heterozygous (Bb) brown-seeded individuals. Thus, this marker will be useful for the development of yellow seed B. juncea cultivars and facilitate the map-based cloning of genes responsible for seed coat colour trait.

Genetic analysis of scab resistance QTL in wheat with microsatellite and AFLP markers.

Three chromosomal regions associated with scab resistance were detected in a common cultivar, Ning7840, by microsatellite and AFLP analysis. Six microsatellites on chromosome 3BS, Xgwm389, Xgwm533, Xbarc147, Xgwm493, Xbarc102, and Xbarc131, were integrated into an amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) linkage group containing a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for scab resistance in a mapping population of 133 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from 'Ning7840' x 'Clark'. Based on single-factor analysis of variance of scab infection data from four experiments, Xgwm533 and Xbarc147 were the two microsatellite markers most tightly associated with the major scab resistance QTL. Interval analysis based on the integrated map of AFLP and microsatellite markers showed that the major QTL was located in a chromosome region about 8 cM in length around Xgwm533 and Xbarc147. Based on mapping of six microsatellite markers on eight 3BS deletion lines, the major QTL was located distal to breakage point 3BS-8. In total, 18 microsatellites were physically located on different subarm regions on 3BS. Two microsatellites, Xgwm120 and Xgwm614, were significantly associated with QTL for scab resistance on chromosome 2BL and 2AS, respectively. The resistance alleles on 3BS, 2BL, and 2AS were all derived from 'Ning7840'. Significant interaction between the major QTL on 3BS and the QTL on 2BL was detected based on microsatellite markers linked to them. Using these microsatellite markers would facilitate marker-assisted selection to improve scab resistance in wheat.     

Genetic analysis,molecular tagging and mapping of the thermo-sensitive genic male-sterile gene (wtms1) in wheat

A thermo-sensitive genic male-sterile (TGMS) wheat line ( Triticum aestivum L.) BNY-S was obtained from the spontaneous mutant of BNY-F. Its fertility was decided by the temperature during the differentiation stage of the spikelets. BNY-S was completely sterile when the temperature was lower than 10 degrees C during the differentiation stage of the spikelets, but fertile when the temperature was higher than 10 degrees C. Genetic analysis indicated that the sterility of BNY-S was controlled by a single recessive gene, which was named as wtms1. An F(2) population, consisting of 3,000 individuals from the cross between BNY-S and Lankao 52-24, was used for genetic analysis and statistical analysis of the TGMS and, out of them, 158 sterile and 93 fertile extremes were present for molecular tagging and mapping of the wtms1 gene. SSR (simple sequence repeat) and AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) techniques combined with BSA (bulked segregant analysis) were used to screen markers linked to the target gene. As a result, wtms1 was preliminarily mapped on chromosome 2B according to SSR analysis. In AFLP analysis, 14 polymorphic AFLP loci were identified with a linkage relation to the wtms1 gene. Then linkage analysis using the F(2) population showed that three of them, E: AAG/M: CTA(163), E: AGG/M: CTC(220) and E: ACA/M: CTA(160), were linked to the wtms1 gene relatively close to a genetic distance of 6.9 cM, 6.9 cM and 13.9 cM, respectively. Finally, the wtms1 gene was mapped between the SSR marker Xgwm 374 and the AFLP marker E: AAG/M: CTA(163) with the distance of 4.8 cM and 6.9 cM, respectively. A partial linkage map was constructed according the SSR and AFLP data.     

A potato hypersensitive resistance gene against potato virus X maps to a resistance gene cluster on chromosome 5

 The dominant Nb gene of potato confers strain-specific hypersensitive resistance against potato virus X (PVX). A population segregating for Nb was screened for resistance by inoculating with PVX strain CP2, which is sensitive to Nb. Through a combination of bulked segregant analysis and selective restriction fragment amplification, several amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers linked to Nb were identified. These were cloned and converted into dominant cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers. The segregation of these markers in a Lycopersicon esculentum×L. pennellii mapping population suggested that Nb is located on chromosome 5. This was confirmed by examining resistant and susceptible potato individuals with several tomato and potato chromosome-5-specific markers. Nb maps to a region of chromosome 5 where several other resistance genes– including R1, a resistance gene against Phytophthora infestans, Gpa, a locus that confers resistance against Globodera pallida, and Rx2, a gene that confers extreme resistance against PVX–have previously been identified.
