Abstract
Sharka, caused by plum pox virus, is the most important viral disease of stone fruits. Important progresses have been recently achieved in apricot (Prunus armeniaca), identifying a major locus on chromosome 1 which explains most of the variability for plum pox virus (PPV) resistance trait. A set of molecular markers associated with the resistance has been developed and validated in different genetic backgrounds, endorsing their application for breeding purposes. Particularly for complex traits as the PPV resistance, requiring long and expensive phenotyping procedures, marker-assisted selection (MAS) bears a great potential to improve the efficiency of conventional breeding. In this work, novel HRM (high-resolution melting) assays were designed for the genotyping of resistant/susceptible alleles at PPV resistance (PPVres) locus. The assays were tested on 51 apricot cultivars and breeding selections already phenotyped for PPV resistance and cross-validated with standard short simple repeat marker data. We demonstrated that three HRM assays, PGS1.21_SNP, PGS1.24_SNP, and ZP002_DEL, represent a reliable, quick, and cost-effective genotyping approach, particularly suitable as high-throughput screening method for large-scale breeding programs.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
