The SSR marker CIR246, which is linked to the B 12 gene that confers resistance to race 18 of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. malvacearum (Xam), was used to evaluate a series of cotton germplasms that were also tested for their response to inoculation with race 18 of Xam (S-295, Delta Opal, 101-102B, Guazuncho-2, Acala 44, Mebane B1, and Stoneville 2B-S9). The allele associated with resistance was amplified in genotypes that carry the B 12 gene (S-295 and Delta Opal) as well as in those that carry B 2 B 3 (101-102B) and B 9L B 10L (Guazuncho-2), indicating that the molecular marker is able to identify genotypes resistant to the Xam races up to race 18, with resistance genes other than B 12 .
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.
