BSA-seq Identifies a Major Locus on Chromosome 6 for Root-Knot Nematode (Meloidogyne graminicola) Resistance From Oryza glaberrima.

ABSTRACT: Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne graminicola) is one of the emerging threats to rice production worldwide that causes substantial yield reductions. There is a progressive shift of the cropping system from traditional transplanting to direct-seeded water-saving rice production that favored the development of M. graminicola. Scouting and deploying new resistance genes is an economical approach to managing the root-knot nematodes. Here, we report that the inheritance of root-knot nematode resistance in Oryza glaberrima acc. IRGC102206 is governed by a single dominant gene. Traditional mapping coupled with BSA-seq is used to map nematode resistance gene(s) using the BC₁F₁ population derived from a cross of O. sativa cv. PR121 (S) and O. glabe
