Employment of flanking codominant STS markers to estimate allelic substitution effects of a nematode resistance locus in carrot

In carrot, two codominant sequence-tagged site (STS) markers, flanking in tight linkage the Meloidogyne javanica resistance (Mj-1) locus, were employed to investigate the association between expression of resistance and locus dosage. Phenotypic expression of homozygous resistant (R); heterozygous; and homozygous susceptible (S) individuals in an F₂ population of 396 F₂ plants from ‘Brasília-1252’ (R) × ‘B6274’ (S) was estimated for three resistance criteria: total egg production per plant (TEP), egg production per gram of fibrous root (EPG) and root gall index (RGI). The homozygous resistant class had average values of 403.9 for TEP; 147.5 for EPG and 0.8 for RGI. The heterozygous class had 1,673; 477.3; and 0.16 whereas the homozygous susceptible class had 68,604; 11,877; and 2.54, respectively. The dominance ratio (d/a) indicated that genomic region(s) derived from the resistant parent encompass genetic factor(s) with almost complete dominance for RGI (d/a = 0.93–0.94) and incomplete dominance for transformed (TEP)^0.25 and (EPG)^0.25 (d/a = 0.63–0.65). Broad sense heritabilities were high varying from 72.9% for (EPG)^0.25 to 86.0% for RGI. Narrow sense heritability values ranged from 55.9% for RGI to 64.3%for (TEP)^0.25. Highly significant orthogonal contrasts were observed between homozygous resistant vs. heterozygous for (TEP)^0.25 and (EPG)^0.25. Marker-assisted selection could greatly facilitate the incorporation of the Mj-1 allele in both male-fertile and male-sterile counterpart lines in order to obtain F₁ hybrids with the most effective levels of resistance. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Effectiveness of quantitative resistance conferred by the genetic background of pepper in the control of root‐knot nematodes and influence onto durability of Me1‐ and Me3‐resistant genes in greenhouse conditions

In pepper (Capsicum annuum), the major genes (R‐genes) Me1 and Me3 confer resistance against root‐knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.). The combination of R‐genes and quantitative resistance factors in the same genotype is considered a good breeding strategy for increasing the durability of R‐genes. To ascertain this hypothesis, five pepper inbred lines, differing in their quantitative resistance level, were combined with Me1 or Me3 genes in F₁ hybrids. The resistance of inbred lines and F₁ hybrids was evaluated in a greenhouse with soil naturally infected by M. incognita in two successive growing years. In both years, lines carrying Me3 were less infected by the nematode when combined with quantitative resistance. An increase in nematode infection was observed in the second growing year in lines carrying Me1 or Me3, independently of quantitative resistance. The infection level recorded in inbred lines without R‐genes was similar in both years. The effectiveness of quantitative resistance controlling M. incognita is confirmed in greenhouse conditions, although the durability of Me1 and Me3 when combined with quantitative resistance factors was not seen to increase.     

Genetic resistance to root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) in eggplant (Solanum melongena)

A germplasm collection of 39 eggplant Solanum melongena genotypes and one accession of S. torvum was evaluated for resistance to the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) by using controlled greenhouse tests. Different degrees of resistance to the disease caused by this nematode species were observed among the genotypes tested. Complete resistance (no nematode egg mass formation up to 7 weeks after inoculation) was detected in one accession belonging to domesticated S. melongena species. Good levels of incomplete resistance were also observed in some commercial eggplant genotypes. This is apparently the first report of a source of complete resistance to M. javanica within the S. melongena gene pool and our finding could greatly facilitate the incorporation of this trait into commercial eggplant cultivars. S. torvum, previously described as resistant to several root-knot nematode species (including M. javanica, M. arenaria, and M. incognita) was also confirmed as a source of resistance to this Brazilian population of M. javanica. Therefore, S. torvum can be considered as one of the most promising sources of broad-spectrum resistance genes against root-knot nematodes. Broad-spectrum resistance is of paramount importance for breeding programmes focused on the development of cultivars for tropical and subtropical areas of the world where multiple infestation of soils with distinct Meloidogyne species is a very common feature.

Effect of Inoculation with the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Glomus Intraradices on the Root-Knot Nematode Meloidogyne Incognita in Cucumber

ABSTRACT

A pot experiment was carried out to investigate the tolerance of cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L.) to root-knot nematode after inoculation with Glomus intraradices. Plants were inoculated with G. intraradices for four weeks and then transplanted in soil treated with Meloidogyne incognita for a further five weeks. The low phosphorus (P) loamy soil was amended with 50 and 100 mg P kg^?1 soil. Mycorrhizal colonization increased shoot dry weight, shoot length, leaf numbers, root fresh weight and shoot P concentration, whereas nematode penetration and reproduction were significantly decreased. Similarly, P fertilization usually increased shoot growth and significantly decreased the number of galls and the number of egg masses and eggs per g root. Our results indicate that inoculation with G. intraradices and P fertilizer confer tolerance of cucumber plants to M. incognita by enhancing plant growth and by suppressing reproduction and/or galling of nematodes during the early stages of plant growth.
