Study of a genetic collection of strawberry (<i>Fragaria</i> L.) for resistance to powdery mildew

Powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca macularis Mag. (syn. Podosphaera aphanis Wallr.)) is a dangerous disease of strawberry (Fragaria L.). The resistance of strawberry to powdery mildew is controlled polygenically. Several genetic loci with a large contribution to disease resistance have been identified in...

description Powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca macularis Mag. (syn. Podosphaera aphanis Wallr.)) is a dangerous disease of strawberry (Fragaria L.). The resistance of strawberry to powdery mildew is controlled polygenically. Several genetic loci with a large contribution to disease resistance have been identified in various strawberry varieties. Diagnostic DNA markers have been developed for QTL 08 To-f. They showed a high level of reliable gene detection in mapping populations. The purpose of this study was assessment of a strawberry genetic collection for resistance to powdery mildew and identification of promising strawberry forms for breeding for resistance to S. macularis. The objects of the study were wild species of the genus Fragaria L., varieties and selected seedlings of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) created in the I.V. Michurin Federal Scientific Center, and strawberry varieties introduced from various ecological and geographical regions. To identify QTL 08 To-f, DNA markers IB535110 and IB533828 were used. Locus 08 To-f was detected in 23.2 % of the analyzed strawberry genotypes, including wild species F. moschata and F. orientalis, strawberry varieties of Russian breeding (Bylinnaya and Sudarushka) and foreign breeding (Florence, Korona, Malwina, Ostara, Polka and Red Gauntlet). The correlation between the presence of markers IB535110 and IB533828 and phenotypic resistance (powdery mildew effect on strawberry plants is absent) was 0.649. The determination coefficient (R2 ) showing the contribution of the studied locus to the manifestation of the trait was 0.421, that is, in 42.1 % of cases resistance was explained by the presence of QTL 08 To-f, and in 57.9 % of cases, by other genetic factors. All strawberry genotypes with locus 08 To-f were characterized by high field resistance to S. macularis in the conditions of Michurinsk, Tambov region. Thus, locus 08 To-f is promising for conferring resistance on local powdery mildew races, and markers IB535110 and IB533828 can be used in marker-assisted breeding programs to create powdery mildewresistant strawberry genotypes.
