Abstract

Aschochyta blight, caused by Mycosphaerella pinodes, is one of the most economically serious pea pathogens, particularly in winter sowings. The wild Pisum sativum subsp. syriacum accession P665 shows good levels of resistance to this pathogen. Knowledge of the genetic factors controlling resistance to M. pinodes in this wild accession would facilitate gene transfer to pea cultivars; however, previous studies mapping resistance to M. pinodes in pea have never included this wild species. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling resistance to M. pinodes in P. sativum subsp. syriacum and to compare these with QTLs previously described for the same trait in P. sativum. A population formed by 111 F6:7 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between accession P665 and a susceptible pea cultivar (Messire) was analysed using morphological, isozyme, RAPD, STS and EST markers. The map developed covered 1214 cM and contained 246 markers distributed in nine linkage groups, of which seven could be assigned to pea chromosomes. Six QTLs associated with resistance to M. pinodes were detected in linkage groups II, III, IV and V, which collectively explained between 31 and 75% of the phenotypic variation depending of the trait. While QTLs MpIII.1 and MpIII.2 were detected both for seedlings and field resistance, MpV.1 and MpII.1 were specific for growth chamber conditions and MpIII.3 and MpIV.1 for field resistance. Quantitative trait loci MpIII.1, MpII.1, MpIII.2 and MpIII.3 may coincide with other QTLs associated with resistance to M. pinodes previously described in P. sativum. Four QTLs associated with earliness of flowering were also identified. While dfIII.2 and dfVI.1, may correspond with other genes and QTLs controlling earliness in P. sativum, dfIII.1 and dfII.1 may be specific to P. sativum subsp. syriacum. Flowering date and growth habit were strongly associated with resistance to M. pinodes in the field evaluations. The relation observed between earliness, growth habit and resistance to M. pinodes is discussed.
