Two genes and linked RAPD markers involved in resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris race 0 in chickpea
Plant Breeding 122 (2), 188-191
Abstract: The inheritance of resistance to fusarium wilt race 0 of chickpea and linked random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were studied in two F6 : 7 recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations. These RILs were developed from the crosses CA2156 x JG62 (susceptible x resistant) and CA2139 x JG62 (resistant x resistant), and were sown in a field infected with fusarium wilt race 0 in Beja (Tunisia) over 2 years. A 1 : 1 resistant to susceptible ratio was found in the RIL population from the CA2156 x JG62 cross, indicating that a single gene with two alleles controlled resistance. In the second RIL population (CA2139 x JG62) a 3 : 1 resistant to susceptible ratio indicated that two genes were present and that either gene was sufficient to confer resistance. Linkage analysis showed a RAPD marker, OPJ20₆₀₀, linked to resistance in both RIL populations, which is present in the resistant parent JG62.
