Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is the main disease affecting soybean production in Brazil. The plant introduction PI 594756 is a resistance source that has been employed in breeding for resistance to ASR in this country. This study aimed at investigating the resistance of the PI 594756 to a panel of P. pachyrhizi isolates and mapping its resistance in populations derived from the cross with the susceptible PI 594891. The PI 594756 and resistant varieties were inoculated with seven ASR monosporic isolates. F 2 and F 2:3 populations were tested against ASR in a greenhouse and used to map a resistance gene to a likely genomic location by means of bulked segregant analysis. Bulks were genotyped with In nium BeadChips and the genomic region identi ed was saturated with target GBS (tGBS). PI 594756 presented a unique resistance pro le compared to the differential varieties, being resistant to six isolates and immune to one. The resistance was visually monogenic dominant; however, it was classi ed as incompletely dominant when quantitatively studied. Genetic and QTL mapping placed the PI 594756 gene between chromosome (chr) 18 55, 863,741 and 56,123,516. This position is slightly upstream mapping positionsof Rpp1 (PI 200492) and Rpp1-b (PI 594538A). Finally, we performed a haplotype analysis of a panel composed of Brazilian historical germplasm, sources of Rpp genes and resistant varieties and found SNPs that can successfully differentiated the new allele from PI 594756 from Rpp1 and Rpp1-b sources. The haplotype identi ed can be used as a tool for marker assisted selection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
