Identification of quantitative trait loci underlying resistance to southern root-knot and reniform nematodes in soybean accession PI 567516C
Molecular Breeding 35 (131)
Abstract: Soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycine Ichinohe), southern root-knot nematode [SRKN, Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood] and reniform nematode (RN, Rotylenchulus reniformis Linford and Oliveira) are three important plant–parasitic pests in soybean. Previous study showed that plant introduction (PI) 567516C harbored novel quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring SCN resistance to soybean. However, QTL underlying resistance to SRKN and RN in PI 567516C remain unknown. The objectives of this study were to identify QTL for resistance to SRKN and RN in PI 567516C. Two hundred and forty-seven F_6:9 recombinant inbred lines, derived from a cross between cultivar Magellan and PI 567516C, were evaluated for resistance to SRKN and RN. Two hundred and thirty-eight simple sequence repeats and 687 single nucleotide polymorphism markers were used to construct a genetic linkage map. Three significant QTL associated with resistance to SRKN were mapped on chromosomes (Chrs.) 10, 13 and 17. Two significant QTL associated with resistance to RN were detected on Chrs. 11 and 18. Whole-genome resequencing revealed that there might be Peking-type Rhg1 in PI 567516C. Our study provides useful information to employ PI 567516C in soybean breeding in order to develop new cultivars with resistance to multiple nematodes.
