AbstractPowdery mildew (PM) caused by Podosphaera aphanis is a major fungal disease in cultivated strawberry. Mildew Resistance Locus O (MLO) is a gene family described for having conserved seven-transmembrane domains. Induced loss-of-function in specific MLO genes can confer durable and broad resistance against PM pathogens. However, the underlying biological role of MLO genes in strawberry is still unknown. In the present study, the genomic structure of MLO genes were characterized in both diploid (Fragaria vesca) and octoploid strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa), and the potential sources of MLO-mediated susceptibility were identified. Twenty MLO-like sequences were identified in F. vesca, with sixty-eight in F. ×ananassa. Phylogenetic analysis divides strawberry MLO genes into eight different clades, in which three FveMLO and ten FaMLO genes were grouped together with the functionally known MLO susceptibility. Out of ten FaMLO genes, FaMLO17-2 and FaMLO17-3 showed the highest similarity to the known susceptibility MLO proteins. Gene expression analysis of FaMLO genes was conducted using a multi-parental segregating population. Three expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) were substantially associated with MLO transcript levels in mature fruits, suggesting discrete genetic control of susceptibility. These results are a critical first step in understanding allele function of MLO genes, and are necessary for further genetic studies of PM resistance in cultivated strawberry.
