Genome-wide association analysis of Monilinia fructicola lesion in a collection of Spanish peach landraces.

ABSTRACT: Brown rot, caused by the Monilinia spp., is the disease that causes the greatest losses in stone fruit worldwide. Currently, M. fructicola has become the dominant species in the main peach production area in Spain. The fruit cuticle is the first barrier of protection against external aggressions and may have a key role in the susceptibility to brown rot. However, information on the role of skin fruit on the resistance to brown rot in peach is scarce. Previous genetic analyses in peach have demonstrated that brown rot resistance is a complex and quantitative trait in which different fruit parts and resistance mechanisms are involved. To search for genomic areas involved in the control of the cultivar susceptibility to brown rot and to elucidate the role of fruit skin against t
