Inheritance of resistance to Fusarium wilt in the carioca grain type common bean

Abstract

Carioca grains are the most cultivated commercial group of common bean and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli (Fop) is an important disease under field conditions. Genetic resistance is the most effective control strategy. Thus, our objective was to study the inheritance of Fop resistance in the carioca grain type common bean. Lines CNFC 11965 (S) and CVIII 8511 (R) were crossed to obtain F 1 and F 2 generations and backcrosses, inoculated with the isolate FOP UFV 01, and severity grades used to estimate genetic parameters. Segregation of resistant and susceptible plants in the F 2 generations and backcrosses resulted in dominant monogenic inheritance of Fop resistance. The high values of heritability emphasized the probability of success in the selection processes because environmental factors were not significant. The carioca grain line CVIII 8511 is promising, and its Fop resistance gene can be transferred to commercial cultivars of this group using the backcross method.

Genetic control of the resistance of tomato genotypes Yoshimatsu and Hawaii 7996 to Ralstonia solanacearum

“…There are no commercial cultivars on the market that are resistant to bacterial wilt. It is therefore necessary to obtain new cultivars to control this disease, as the introduction of resistance genes into a new cultivar is the most effective and sustainable control strategy, both in economic terms and in terms of ease of adoption by farmers (Batista et al 2022). To this end, studying the genetic control of resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum in different genotypes is an essential step.…”
