Powdery mildew caused by Leveillula taurica adversely affects the development and growth of pepper plants. However, there have been few reports on the fine mapping and quantitative trait locus (QTLs) gene cloning of resistance genes to powdery mildew in pepper. Herein, an F segregating population was constructed using the high resistance material "NuMex Suave Red" and the extremely susceptible material "c89" for bulked segregant analysis and DNA re-sequencing (BSA-seq).

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the impact of different rating systems on identifying quantitative trait loci (QTL) related to resistance against a harmful pathogen affecting pepper crops.
  • Two methods were compared, revealing that the Bosland and Lindsey system better detected specific QTL than the Black system, although each had unique strengths in identifying certain QTL.
  • Resistance inheritance patterns showed a 7:9 segregation ratio, suggesting a complex genetic interaction influenced by incomplete gene action and the characteristics of the tested population.

Background: Phytophthora root rot, caused by Phytophthora capsici, is a major disease affecting Capsicum production worldwide. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from the hybridization between 'Criollo de Morellos-334' (CM-334), a resistant landrace from Mexico, and 'Early Jalapeno', a susceptible cultivar was genotyped using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS)-derived single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. A GBS-SNP based genetic linkage map for the RIL population was constructed.
