Exploration of heterotic patterns among maize inbreds has become important since it could provide information on which new germplasm could be used to improve base population in breeding program. This experiment was a preliminary study on the heterotic relationships between tropical quality protein maize (QPM) and downy mildew resistance (DMR) maize inbreds based on analysis on combining ability. Seven tropical maize inbreds were crossed in a line × tester. One commercial hybrid from Bisi Company, Bisi 2, was included for the evaluation of hybrids as check cultivar. The result revealed that two heterotic groups has been recognized, i.e., major group consisted of CML 161, CML 163, CML 172, Nei 9008, and P345. Whereas the small group contains MR 10 and Ki 3. The hybrids and their parental inbreds were evaluated in Jatinangor, Indonesia (753 m above sea level) in 2003 to 2004. The location of yield test has a humid climate with an annual rainfall of about 1925 mm. The field experiment was arranged in a randomize block design with two replications. The present study revealed two heterotic groups: major group involving CML 161, CML 163, CML 172, Nei 9008, and Ki 3; and small group containing MR 10 and P 345. Moreover, the major group can be divided into two subgroups involving all CML lines for the first subgroup and Nei 9008 and Ki 3 for the second subgroup.

Improvement of high yield maize cultivars possessing high quality of seed as showed by high lysine and tryptophan content must be fulfilled with resistance against downy mildew pathogen in any maize breeding program. A set of experiment to study genetic variability and to estimate both heritability and heterosis of important characters of grain yield on DMR and QPM lines has been conducted. Four downy mildew resistance (DMR) lines, i.e. Nei 9008, P 345, Ki 3, and MR 10; three quality protein maize (QPM) lines, including CML 161, CML 163, and CML 172; and their single cross hybrids formed based on line × tester mating design were used in the experiment. The following characters: height of the first ear, seeds number per row, seed weight per ear, and grain yield per plot showed broad genetic variability. Narrow sense heritability (hns) of grain yield and its components ranged from 0.01 to 0.71. Broad sense heritability (hbs), on the other hand, ranged from 0.20 to 0.74. It was found that hybrid derived from crossing between parental inbred lines possessing broad genetic background would express high heterosis.

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.

Downy mildew, incited by the biotrophic fungal parasite, Peronospora parasitica (Pers. Fr.) Fr., is one of the most destructive diseases of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L., Italica Group) and other related crop species throughout the world. Cultivation of resistant cultivars is the most desirable control method because it provides a practical, long-term, and environmentally benign means of limiting damage from this disease. The commercial hybrid cultivar, Everest, has been shown previously to contain a high level of downy mildew resistance. Doubled-haploid (DH) lines developed from that hybrid were also shown to exhibit a similar, high level of resistance at the three- to four-leaf stage. To determine the mode of inheritance of this true leaf resistance, the resistant DH line was crossed to a susceptible line (derived from `Marathon') to produce an F1 hybrid. Subsequently, F2 and backcross (BC) populations were developed from the hybrid. In addition, a DH population of ≈100 lines was developed from the same F1 used to create the F2 and BC. All populations were evaluated for response to artificial inoculation with P. parasitica at the three- to four-leaf stage. F1 plants were resistant like the resistant parent and F2 populations segregated approximately nine resistant to seven susceptible. Using the resistant parent as recurrent parent, BC populations contained all resistant plants, while the BC to the susceptible parent fit a 1 resistant: 3 susceptible segregation ratio. These results can be explained by a model with two complementary dominant genes. This model was confirmed by the DH population that segregated ≈1:3, resistant to susceptible. Due to the dominant nature of this resistance, controlling genes should be easily incorporated into F1 hybrids and used commercially to prevent downy mildew.
