Identification of RAPD markers linked to the rust (Uromyces fabae) resistance gene in pea (Pisum sativum)

摘要

Two RAPD markers linked to gene for resistance (assayed as pustule number cm−2 leaf area) to rust [Uromyces fabae (Pers.) de Bary] in pea (Pisum sativum L.) were identified using a mapping population of 31 BC1F1 [HUVP 1 (HUVP 1 × FC 1] plants, FC 1 being the resistant parent. The analysis of genetics of rust resistance was based on the parents, F1, F2, BC1F1 and BC1F2 generations. Rust resistance in pea is of non-hypersensitive type; it appeared to be governed by a single partially dominant gene for which symbol Ruf is proposed. Further, this trait seems to be affected by some polygenes in addition to the proposed oligogene Ruf. A total of 614 decamer primers were used to survey the parental polymorphism with regard to DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction. The primers that amplified polymorphic bands present in the resistant parent (FC 1) were used for bulked segregant analysis. Those markers that amplified consistently and differentially in the resistant and susceptible bulks were separately tested with the 31 BC1F1 individuals. Two RAPD makers, viz., SC10-82 360 (primer, GCCGTGAAGT), and SCRI-71 1000 (primer, GTGGCGTAGT), flanking the rust resistance gene (Ruf) with a distance of 10.8 cM (0.097 rF and LOD of 5.05) and 24.5 cM (0.194 rF and a LOD of 2.72), respectively, were identified. These RAPD markers were not close enough to Ruf to allow a dependable maker-assisted selection for rust resistance. However, if the two makers flanking Ruf were used together, the effectiveness of MAS would be improved considerably.
