Background: Downy mildew caused by Plasmopara halstedii is a devastating disease in sunflower worldwide. Several dominant resistance genes designated as Pl have been identified and linked molecular markers have been demonstrated. However, no information on theresistance genes is available forIranian lines. Objectives: The presence of three map-based molecular markers previously proved to be linked to different resistance genes were evaluated in sunflower inbred lines. Materials and Methods: Using PCR-based and CAPS molecular markers, 26 sunflower inbred lines with different responses to P. halstedii race 100 were used to detect the presence of three resistance loci including Pl 1 , Pl 6 and Pl 13 within the lines. Results: Molecular marker linked to Pl 13 was present in some of the sunflower lines but was not correlated with the phenotypic reaction of the lines to race 100. Despite the use of three markers linked to Pl 6 , PCR failed to amplify any corresponding product. This data may suggest that none of the genotypes possessed Pl 6 locus. Pl 1 -linked cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences (CAPS) were present in several resistance lines and effectively differentiated susceptible and resistant sunflower lines. Conclusions: Applicability of molecular markers in breeding programs revisited in disease management.
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.
