Fine mapping of an anthracnose-resistance locus in Andean common bean cultivar Amendoim Cavalo

Sumario:Anthracnose, caused by the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, is one of the world’s most destructive diseases of common bean. The use of resistant cultivars is the most cost-effective strategy to manage this disease; however, durable resistance is difficult to achieve due to the vast virulence diversity of the anthracnose pathogen. Finding new genes with broad-spectrum resistance increases the prospect of designing an effective anthracnose-management strategy. Genetic analysis confirmed the presence of a single, dominant anthracnose-resistance locus in AC, which we provisionally named Co-AC. Bulk segregant analysis and genetic mapping of two F(2) populations from the crosses AC × PI207262 and AC × G 2333 were used to determine the position of the Co-AC locus in a 631 Kbp genomic region flanked by the SNP markers SS56 and SS92 on the lower arm of chromosome Pv01. By genotyping 77 F(3) plants from the AC × PI207262 cross using nine additional markers, we fine-mapped the Co-AC locus to a significantly smaller genomic region (9.4 Kbp) flanked by the SNP markers SS102 and SS165. This 9.4 Kbp region harbors three predicted genes based on the common bean reference genome, notably including the gene model Phvul.001G244300, which encodes Clathrin heavy chain 1, a protein that supports specific stomatal regulation functions and might play a role in plant defense signaling. Because the Co-AC resistance locus is linked in cis, it can be selected with great efficiency using molecular markers. These results will be very useful for breeding programs aimed at developing bean cultivars with anthracnose resistance using marker-assisted selection. This study revealed the broad-spectrum resistance of AC to C. lindemuthianum and the existence of the Co-AC anthracnose-resistance locus. Fine mapping positioned this locus in a small genomic region on the lower end of chromosome Pv01 that contained three candidate genes for the Co-AC locus.
