AbstractPlasmopara viticola is the oomycete that causes downy mildew in grapevine. Varying levels of resistance to P. viticola across grape cultivars allowed quantitative trait loci to be identified. The Rpv3 locus is located at chromosome 18, in a region enriched in TIR-NBS-LRR genes, and the phenotype associated is a high hypersensitive response. In this work, we aimed to identify candidate genes associated with resistance to downy mildew on the Rpv3 locus and to evaluate their transcriptional profiles in a susceptible and a resistant grapevine cultivar after challenging with P. viticola. Candidate genes were identified by representational differential analysis and also by functional enrichment tests. Many predicted genes associated with resistance to diseases were found at the Rpv3 locus. In total, seventeen genes were evaluated by RT-qPCR. Differences in the steady-state expression of these genes were observed between the two cultivars. Four genes were found to be expressed only in Villard Blanc, suggesting their association to the hypersensitivity reaction. Concerning marker assisted-selection for downy mildew resistance, we show the efficient use of a haplotype of SSR markers. Furthermore, based on Rpv3-located SNPs between grapevine cultivars contrasting in downy mildew resistance, we developed and tested forty-one new markers for assisted selection. After genotypic and phenotypic evaluations on segregant populations, two markers, Rpv3_15 and Rpv3_33, were considered efficient for downy mildew resistance identification. This study constitutes an in-depth genomic characterization of the Rpv3 locus, confirms its involvement in resistance against P. viticola infection and presents promising biotechnological tools for the selection of young resistant individuals.

Abstract Background Downy mildew, the most devastating disease of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), is caused by the oomycete Peronospora effusa [=P. farinosa f. sp. spinaciae]. The P. effusa shows race specificities to the resistant host and comprises 19 reported races and many novel isolates. Sixteen new P. effusa races were identified during the past three decades, and the new pathogen races are continually overcoming the genetic resistances used in commercial cultivars. A spinach breeding population derived from the cross between cultivars Whale and Lazio was inoculated with P. effusa race 16 in an environment-controlled facility; disease response was recorded and genotyped using genotyping by sequencing (GBS). The main objective of this study was to identify resistance-associated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers from the cultivar Whale against the P. effusa race 16. Results Association analysis conducted using GBS markers identified six significant SNPs (S3_658,306, S3_692697, S3_1050601, S3_1227787, S3_1227802, S3_1231197). The downy mildew resistance locus from cultivar Whale was mapped to a 0.57 Mb region on chromosome 3, including four disease resistance candidate genes (Spo12736, Spo12784, Spo12908, and Spo12821) within 2.69–11.28 Kb of the peak SNP. Conclusions Genomewide association analysis approach was used to map the P. effusa race 16 resistance loci and identify associated SNP markers and the candidate genes. The results from this study could be valuable in understanding the genetic basis of downy mildew resistance, and the SNP marker will be useful in spinach breeding to select resistant lines.

Abstract As part of our investigation of disease resistance in lettuce, we generated mutants that have lost resistance to Bremia lactucae, the casual fungus of downy mildew. Using a rapid and reliable screen, we identified 16 distinct mutants of Latuca sativa that have lost activity of one of four different downy mildew resistance genes (Dm). In all mutants, only a single Dm specificity was affected. Genetic analysis indicated that the lesions segregated as single, recessive mutations at the Dm loci. Dm3 was inactivated in nine of the mutants. One of five Dm 1 mutants was selected from a population of untreated seeds and therefore carried a spontaneous mutation. All other Dm1, Dm3, Dm5/8 and Dm7 mutants were derived from gamma- or fast neutron-irradiated seed. In two separate Dm 1 mutants and in each of the eight Dm3 mutants analyzed, at least one closely linked molecular marker was absent. Also, high molecular weight genomic DNA fragments that hybridized to a tightly linked molecular marker in wild type were either missing entirely or were truncated in two of the Dm3 mutants, providing additional evidence that deletions had occurred in these mutants. Absence of mutations at loci epistatic to the Dm genes suggested that such loci were either members of multigene families, were critical for plant survival, or encoded components of duplicated pathways for resistance; alternatively, the genes determining downy mildew resistance might be limited to the Dm loci.
