Confirmation of Fusarium root rot resistance QTL Fsp-Ps 2.1 of pea under controlled conditions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dry pea production has increased substantially in North America over the last few decades. With this expansion, significant yield losses have been attributed to an escalation in Fusarium root rots in pea fields. Among the most significant rot rotting pathogenic fungal species, Fusarium solani fsp. pisi (Fsp) is one of the main causal agents of root rot of pea. High levels of partial resistance to Fsp has been identified in plant genetic resources. Genetic resistance offers one of the best solutions to control this root rotting fungus. A recombinant inbred population segregating for high levels of partial resistance, previously single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyped using genotyping-by-sequencing, was phenotyped for disease reaction in replicated and repeated gree
