Routine mapping of Fusarium wilt resistance in BC(1) populations of Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Susceptibility to Fusarium wilt disease varies among wild accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana. Six RESISTANCE TO FUSARIUM OXYSPORUM (RFO) quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling the resistance of accession Columbia-0 (Col-0) and susceptibility of Taynuilt-0 to Fusarium oxysporum forma specialis matthioli (FOM) are detected in a recombinant population derived from a single backcross of the F1 hybrid (BC1). In particular, the RFO1 QTL appears to interact with three other loci, RFO2, RFO4 and RFO6, and is attributed to the gene At1g79670.

Results

When resistance to FOM was mapped in a new BC(1) population, in which the loss-of-function mutant of At1g79670 replaced wild type as the Col-0 parent, RFO1's major effect and RFO1's interaction with RFO2, RFO4 and RFO6 wer
