Abstract

We constructed a BAC contig of about 300 kb spanning the Rdr1 locus for black spot resistance in Rosa multiflora hybrids, using a new BIBAC library from DNA of this species. From this contig, we developed broadly applicable simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers tightly linked to Rdr1, which are suitable for genetic analyses and marker-assisted selection in roses. As a source for the high molecular weight DNA, we chose the homozygous resistant R. multiflora hybrid 88/124-46. For the assembly of the BAC contig, we made use of molecular markers derived from a previously established R. rugosa contig. In order to increase the resolution for fine mapping, the size of the population was increased to 974 plants. The genomic region spanning Rdr1 is now genetically restricted to 0.2 cM, corresponding to a physical distance of about 300 kb. One single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and one SSR marker cosegregate with the Rdr1-mediated black spot resistance, while one SSR and several cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence or SSCP markers are very tightly linked with one to three recombinants among the 974 plants. The benefits of the molecular markers developed from the R. multiflora contig for the genetic analysis of roses and the integration of rose genetic maps are discussed.
