Article Synopsis
- A whole-genome QTL study on tomatoes revealed 73 meta-QTL regions linked to resistance against bacterial and fungal diseases, significantly narrowing the confidence intervals (CIs) of the original QTLs.
- The analysis examined 491 previously reported QTLs from 40 studies, leading to the identification of 29 MQTLs for bacterial resistance and 44 for fungal resistance, with CIs reduced by 4.1-fold and 6.7-fold, respectively.
- 73 genes associated with plant defense responses were found within the MQTL regions, highlighting potential candidate genes for breeding programs focused on enhancing resistance to diseases in tomatoes.

Article Synopsis
- Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is vital for food security in developing countries but faces economic losses due to various diseases, highlighting the need for effective disease resistance strategies.*
-
- This study performed a meta-QTL analysis using data from 152 QTLs across 44 populations, identifying nine stable QTL regions, with significant reductions in confidence intervals to improve trait mapping.*
-
- Specific QTLs linked to disease resistance were found for various ailments like halo blight, white mold, and anthracnose, suggesting shared genetic loci for resistance, and comparative genomics helped identify potential functional genes across related species.*
