Identification and evaluation of quantitative trait loci underlying resistance to multiple HG types of soybean cyst nematode in soybean PI 437655.

ABSTRACT:

Key message

We performed QTL analysis for SCN resistance in PI 437655 in two mapping populations, characterized CNV of Rhg1 through whole-genome resequencing and evaluated the effects of QTL pyramiding to enhance resistance. Soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) is one of the most serious pests of soybean worldwide. PI 437655 has broader resistance to SCN HG types than PI 88788. The objectives of this study were to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying SCN resistance in PI 437655, and to evaluate the QTL for their contribution to SCN resistance. Two F6:7 recombinant inbred line populations, derived from cv. Williams 82 × PI 437655 and cv. Hutcheson × PI 437655 crosses, were evaluated for resistance to SCN HG types 1.2.5.7 (PA2), 0 (PA3), 1.3.5.6.7 (P
