Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is a major disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Because of the high genetic variability of C. lindemuthianum, development of varieties with durable resistance requires deployment of loci with resistance to a wide range of C. lindemuthianum races. The objective of the current study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with resistance to nine races of C. lindemuthianum in an Andean population. A total of 150 F4:8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from Andean parents Solwezi and AO‐1012‐29‐3‐3A were evaluated for resistance to nine races of C. lindemuthianum in a screenhouse at University of Zambia, Lusaka, Zambia. AO‐1012‐29‐3‐3A is resistant to some races of C. lindemuthianum. The population was genotyped with 5,398 SNP markers and composite interval mapping conducted to identify QTL for resistance. A total of 14 QTL for resistance to nine races of C. lindemuthianum were identified on five chromosomes including Pv02, Pv03, Pv04, Pv07, and Pv10. These 14 QTL included both major and minor QTL with R2 values ranging from 7.3% for ANT10.1SA on Pv10 to 79% for ANT2.1UC,SA on Pv02. A majority of the identified QTL were major QTL but a few were minor QTL, suggesting a role for both qualitative and quantitative resistance in the mapping population. The major QTL ANT02.1UC,SA and ANT04.1SA, which in combination provided resistance to all nine races used in the study, colocalize with previously reported major genes and would be ideal targets for pyramiding using marker‐assisted selection to develop varieties with durable resistance to anthracnose.
