Abstract

In this contribution we review the state of the art for genetic resistance to powdery mildew, caused by Erysiphe pisi, in pea (Pisum sativum L.) and potential use of marker-assisted selection (MAS) for developing disease resistant cultivars. Powdery mildew is important in many production regions worldwide and reduces yield and crop quality when present in epidemic proportions. Although genetic resistance to powdery mildew is available (er1 and er2) and has been durable since its characterization in 1969, recently a new dominant gene (Er3) has been reported in Pisum fulvum, a wild relative of pea that is different from previously reported er1 and er2. The efficacy of these genes may be at risk from the point of view of new pathotypes and pathogens. Erysiphe trifolii has been reported that was not previously known as a pathogen of pea powdery mildew. A continued search for new and diverse resistant sources remains a priority in pea breeding and special emphasis should be paid to selection of resistance that will prolong durability of existing resistance genes. Marker assisted selection is a new emerging approach for target breeding that has been intensively employed especially in cereals and has recently got popularity among legume breeders. With the advancement of genomic research, especially related to quantitative traits loci, the MAS is potentially anticipated future technique for routine plant breeding that is scarce in legumes at present. In pea, various DNA markers have been reported linked to er1, er2 and Er3 at varying distances in different mapping populations that are currently being used in breeding programs. Currently MAS of single gene is the most powerful approach and successes have been witnessed. If single marker is not close enough to the gene of interest then two flanking markers are considerably utilized to improve the correct identification that is being successfully employed in MAS for powdery mildew resistance in pea.
