North-Western Himalayan Common Beans: Population Structure and Mapping of Quantitative Anthracnose Resistance Through Genome Wide Association Study.

ABSTRACT: Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important legume crop of north-western (NW) Himalayan region and the major disease that causes catastrophic loss to the crop is anthracnose, which is caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. The pathogen is highly diverse and most of the commercial cultivars are susceptible to different races prevalent in the region. The lack of information on the genomic regions associated with anthracnose resistance in NW Himalayan common bean population prompted us to dissect Quantitative Resistance Loci (QRLs) against major anthracnose races. In this study, 188 common bean landraces collected from NW region were screened against five important anthracnose races and 113 bean genotypes showed resistance to one or multiple races.
