Angular leaf spot (ALS) and powdery mildew (PWM) are two important fungi diseases causing significant yield losses in common beans. In this study, a new genetic linkage map was constructed using single sequence repeats (SSRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), in a segregating population derived from the AND 277 x SEA 5 cross, with 105 recombinant inbred lines. Phenotypic evaluations were performed in the greenhouse to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with resistance by means of the composite interval mapping analysis.

- Acrocomia aculeata is a tropical palm known for its fruit, which has potential applications in cosmetics and biofuels.
- The study investigated the genetic structure and mating system of the species in Brazil, revealing a clustering of populations and a high rate of outcrossing, though some inbreeding was noted.
- Findings suggest the need for conservation strategies to preserve genetic diversity by sampling individuals from different genetic clusters.
