Mapping of the Cladosporium fulvum resistance gene Cf-16, a major gene involved in leaf mold disease in tomato.

ABSTRACT: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is widely cultivated and consumed worldwide. Tomato leaf mold, caused by Cladosporium fulvum, is one of the most devastating diseases in tomato production. At present, some tomato leaf mold resistance (Cf series) genes used in production gradually lose resistance due to the continuous and rapid differentiation of C. fulvum physiological races. The Cf-16 gene derived from the "Ontario7816" tomato cultivar has shown effective resistance in field trials for many years, but few studies have reported on the mapping of the Cf-16 gene, which has not been cloned, limiting its utilization in tomato breeding. Here, we mapped Cf-16 using a novel comprehensive strategy including bulk segregation analysis (BSA), genome reseq
