Abstract
Bacterial wilt (BW) caused by the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) represents one of the most serious diseases affecting potato cultivation. The development of BW-resistant cultivars represents the most efficient strategy to control this disease. The resistance-related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in plants against different RSSC strains have not been studied extensively. Therefore, we performed QTL analysis for evaluating BW resistance using a diploid population derived from Solanum phureja, S. chacoense, and S. tuberosum. Plants cultivated in vitro were inoculated with different strains (phylotype I/biovar 3, phylotype I/biovar 4, and phylotype IV/biovar 2A) and incubated at 24 °C or 28 °C under controlled conditions. Composite interval mapping was performed for the disease indexes using a resistant parent-derived map and a susceptible parent-derived map consisting of single-nucleotide polymorphism markers. We identified five major and five minor resistance QTLs on potato chromosomes 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, and 11. The major QTLs PBWR-3 and PBWR-7 conferred stable resistance against Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum (phylotype I) and Ralstonia syzygii (phylotype IV), whereas PBWR-6b was a strain-specific major resistance QTL against phylotype I/biovar 3 and was more effective at a lower temperature. Therefore, we suggest that broad-spectrum QTLs and strain-specific QTLs can be combined to develop the most effective BW-resistant cultivars for specific areas.

Abstract
Нематоды относятся к числу значимых вредителей сельскохозяйственных растений. В обзоре
рассмотрены последние данные о молекулярных механизмах устойчивости растений к цистообразующим
и галловым нематодам, среди которых одни из наиболее вредоносных видов: Globodera rostochiensis, G. pallida, Heterodera schachtii, Meloidogyne chitwoodi и M. incognita. Например, золотистая картофельная нематода
G. rostochiensis, зарегистрированная в 61 субъекте РФ на общей площади 1.8 млн га, способна приводить к потере
от 19 до 90 % урожая картофеля. Биологические особенности нематод затрудняют разработку агротехнических
способов борьбы с ними: цисты G. rostochiensis сохраняют жизнеспособность в почве в течение многих лет, нематициды токсичны или малоэффективны, поэтому предпочтительным методом борьбы с ними является интрогрессия генов устойчивости от родственных культурных и дикорастущих видов. Стратегия жизненного цикла
цистообразующих и галловых нематод основана на способности личинок проникать в корни восприимчивых
видов растений, репрограммировать клетки растения-хозяина, формирующие гигантские клетки или синцитии
в качестве питающих структур, а также ингибировать иммунный ответ. Молекулярные механизмы, лежащие в
основе такого взаимодействия в системе «патоген–хозяин», вызывают значительный интерес как с точки зрения
управления морфогенезом растений, так и в аспекте разработки безопасных и эффективных способов борьбы с
паразитическими нематодами. В обзоре рассмотрены данные об эффекторах, с помощью которых разные виды
нематод контролируют иммунный ответ растения-хозяина, а также гены устойчивости (R-гены) и некоторые
молекулярные механизмы, прерывающие формирование питающих структур и развитие паразита. Приведены
новые данные о способах генетического контроля, основанных на одном из активно обсуждаемых в последнее время варианте механизма РНК-интерференции – HIGS (host induced gene silencing), представляющем собой
адресное выключение экспрессии гена-мишени в клетках личинки нематоды с помощью специфических двуцепочечных РНК, синтезирующихся в клетках растения-хозяина. Индукция РНК-интерференции в клетках растений
приводит к появлению молекул-медиаторов, способных инициировать аналогичный процесс в клетках фитофагов, взаимодействующих с растением, в том числе у личинок нематод. Описаны случаи, в которых такое адресное выключение экспрессии генов-мишеней приводило к нарушениям развития личинок и высокому уровню
защиты сельскохозяйственных растений от наиболее опасных видов нематод.

Genotyping of potato samples from the GenAgro ICG SB RAS collection using DNA markers of genes conferring resistance to phytopathogens. Vavilovskii Zhurnal Genet Selektsii 2021; 25:677-686. [PMID: 34755022 PMCID: PMC8553976 DOI: 10.18699/vj21.077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2020] [Revised: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 06/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Wart (a disease caused by Synchytrium endobioticum) and golden cyst potato nematode (Globodera rostochiensis), which parasitize the roots of the host plant, cause signif icant damage to potato crop. Both of these disease factors are quarantined in the Russian Federation, and each registered variety is tested for resistance to their most common races and pathotypes. The main method of opposing such diseases is by the development of resistant varieties. An important step in this process is the selection of resistant genotypes from the population and the estimation of the resistance of hybrids obtained by crosses during the breeding process. Conducting a permanent phenotypic evaluation is associated with diff iculties, for example, it is not always possible to work with pathogens, and phenotypic evaluation is very costly and time consuming. However, the use of DNA markers linked to resistance genes can signif icantly speed up and reduce the cost of the breeding process. The aim of the study was to screen the GenAgro potato collection of ICG SB RAS using known diagnostic PCR markers linked to golden potato cyst nematode and wart resistance. Genotyping was carried out on 73 potato samples using three DNA markers 57R, CP113, Gro1-4 associated with nematode resistance and one marker, NL25, associated with wart resistance. The genotyping data were compared with the data on the resistance of the collection samples. Only the 57R marker had a high level of correlation (Spearman R = 0.722008, p = 0.000000, p < 0.05) between resistance and the presence of a diagnostic fragment. The diagnostic eff iciency of the 57R marker was 86.11 %. This marker can be successfully used for screening a collection, searching for resistant genotypes and marker-assisted selection. The other markers showed a low correlation between the presence of the DNA marker and resistance. The diagnostic eff iciency of the CP113 marker was only 44.44 %. Spearman's correlation coeff icient (Spearman R = -0.109218, p = 0.361104, p < 0.05) did not show signif icant correlation between resistance and the DNA marker. The diagnostic eff iciency of the NL25 marker was 61.11 %. No signif icant correlation was found between the NL25 marker and resistance (Spearman R = -0.017946, p = 0.881061, p < 0.05). The use of these markers for the search for resistant samples is not advisable.

Abstract
AFLP or amplified fragment length polymorphism is a PCR-based molecular technique that uses selective amplification of a subset of digested DNA fragments from any source to generate and compare unique fingerprints of genomes. It is more efficient in terms of time, economy, reproducibility, informativeness, resolution, and sensitivity, compared to other popular DNA markers. Besides, it requires very small quantities of DNA and no prior genome information. This technique is widely used in plants for taxonomy, genetic diversity, phylogenetic analysis, construction of high-resolution genetic maps, and positional cloning of genes, to determine relatedness among cultivars and varietal identity, etc. The review encompasses in detail the various applications of AFLP in plants and the major advantages and disadvantages. The review also considers various modifications of this technique and novel developments in detection of polymorphism. A wet-lab protocol is also provided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Globodera rostochiensis belongs to major potato pathogens with a sophisticated mechanism of interaction with roots of the host plants. Resistance of commercial varieties is commonly based on specific R genes introgressed from natural populations of related wild species and from native potato varieties grown in the Andean highlands. Investigation of molecular resistance mechanisms and screening the natural populations for novel R genes are important for both fundamental knowledge on plant pathogen interactions and breeding for durable resistance. Here we exploited the Solanum phureja accessions collected in South America with contrasting resistance to G. rostochiensis. RESULTS The infestation of S. phureja with G. rostochiensis juveniles resulted in wounding stress followed by activation of cell division and tissue regeneration processes. Unlike the susceptible S. phureja genotype, the resistant accession reacted by rapid induction of variety of stress response related genes. This chain of molecular events accompanies the hypersensitive response at the juveniles' invasion sites and provides high-level resistance. Transcriptomic analysis also revealed considerable differences between the analyzed S. phureja genotypes and the reference genome. CONCLUSION The molecular processes in plant roots associated with changes in gene expression patterns in response to G. rostochiensis infestation and establishment of either resistant or susceptible phenotypes are discussed. De novo transcriptome assembling is considered as an important tool for discovery of novel resistance traits in S. phureja accessions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The characterization of major resistance genes (R genes) in the potato remains an important task for molecular breeding. However, R genes are rapidly evolving and frequently occur in genomes as clusters with complex structures, and their precise mapping and identification are complicated and time consuming. RESULTS Comparative analysis of root transcriptomes of Solanum phureja genotypes with contrasting resistance to Globodera rostochiensis revealed a number of differentially expressed genes. However, compiling a list of candidate R genes for further segregation analysis was hampered by their scarce annotation. Nevertheless, combination of transcriptomic analysis with data on predicted potato NBS-LRR-encoding genes considerably improved the quality of the results and provided a reasonable number of candidate genes that provide S. phureja with strong resistance to the potato golden cyst nematode. CONCLUSION Combination of comparative analyses of tissue-specific transcriptomes in resistant and susceptible genotypes may be used as an approach for the rapid identification of candidate potato R genes for co-segregation analysis and may be used in parallel with more sophisticated studies based on genome resequencing.

Abstract
Late blight, caused by the pathogen Phytophthora infestans, is one of the most devastating diseases of potato. Here, we describe a new single dominant resistance gene, Rpi2, from the Mexican diploid wild species Solanum pinnatisectum that confers high level and broad spectrum resistance to late blight. The Rpi2 locus confers full resistance to complex isolates of P. infestans, for which race specificity has not yet been demonstrated. This new gene, flanked by the RFLP-derived marker SpT1756 and AFLP-derived marker SpAFLP2 with a minimal genetic distance of 0.8 cM, was mapped to potato chromosome 7. Using the genomic sequence data of potato, we estimated that the physical distance of the nearest marker to the resistance gene was about 27 kb. The map location and other evidence indicated that this resistance locus was different from the previously reported resistance locus Rpi1 on the same chromosome from S. pinnatisectum. The presence of other reported resistance genes in the target region, such as Gro1-4, I-3, and three NBS-LLR like genes, on a homologous tomato genome segment indicates the Rpi2-related region is a hotspot for resistance genes. Comparative sequence analysis showed that the order of nine markers mapped to the Rpi2 genetic map was highly conserved on tomato chromosome 7; however, some rearrangements were observed in the potato genome sequence. Additional markers and potential resistance genes will promote accurate location of the site of Rpi2 and help breeders to introduce this resistance gene into different cultivars by marker-aided selection.

Abstract
Potatoes are highly heterozygous and the conventional breeding of superior germplasm is challenging, but use of a combination of MAS and EBVs can accelerate genetic gain. Cultivated potatoes are highly heterozygous due to their outbreeding nature, and suffer acute inbreeding depression. Modern potato cultivars also exhibit tetrasomic inheritance. Due to this genetic heterogeneity, the large number of target traits and the specific requirements of commercial cultivars, potato breeding is challenging. A conventional breeding strategy applies phenotypic recurrent selection over a number of generations, a process which can take over 10 years. Recently, major advances in genetics and molecular biology have provided breeders with molecular tools to accelerate gains for some traits. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) can be effectively used for the identification of major genes and quantitative trait loci that exhibit large effects. There are also a number of complex traits of interest, such as yield, that are influenced by a large number of genes of individual small effect where MAS will be difficult to deploy. Progeny testing and the use of pedigree in the analysis can provide effective identification of the superior genetic factors that underpin these complex traits. Recently, it has been shown that estimated breeding values (EBVs) can be developed for complex potato traits. Using a combination of MAS and EBVs for simple and complex traits can lead to a significant reduction in the length of the breeding cycle for the identification of superior germplasm.

Abstract
The obligate biotrophic, soil-borne fungus Synchytrium endobioticum causes wart disease of potato (Solanum tuberosum), which is a serious problem for crop production in countries with moderate climates. S. endobioticum induces hypertrophic cell divisions in plant host tissues leading to the formation of tumor-like structures. Potato wart is a quarantine disease and chemical control is not possible. From 38 S. endobioticum pathotypes occurring in Europe, pathotypes 1, 2, 6 and 18 are the most relevant. Genetic resistance to wart is available but only few current potato varieties are resistant to all four pathotypes. The phenotypic evaluation of wart resistance is laborious, time-consuming and sometimes ambiguous, which makes breeding for resistance difficult. Molecular markers diagnostic for genes for resistance to S. endobioticum pathotypes 1, 2, 6 and 18 would greatly facilitate the selection of new, resistant cultivars. Two tetraploid half-sib families (266 individuals) segregating for resistance to S. endobioticum pathotypes 1, 2, 6 and 18 were produced by crossing a resistant genotype with two different susceptible ones. The families were scored for five different wart resistance phenotypes. The distribution of mean resistance scores was quantitative in both families. Resistance to pathotypes 2, 6 and 18 was correlated and independent from resistance to pathotype 1. DNA pools were constructed from the most resistant and most susceptible individuals and screened with genome wide simple sequence repeat (SSR), inverted simple sequence region (ISSR) and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Bulked segregant analysis identified three SSR markers that were linked to wart resistance loci (Sen). Sen1-XI on chromosome XI conferred partial resistance to pathotype 1, Sen18-IX on chromosome IX to pathotype 18 and Sen2/6/18-I on chromosome I to pathotypes 2,6 and 18. Additional genotyping with 191 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers confirmed the localization of the Sen loci. Thirty-three SNP markers linked to the Sen loci permitted the dissection of Sen alleles that increased or decreased resistance to wart. The alleles were inherited from both the resistant and susceptible parents.

Abstract
The H1 locus confers resistance to the potato cyst nematode Globodera rostochiensis pathotypes 1 and 4. It is positioned at the distal end of chromosome V of the diploid Solanum tuberosum genotype SH83-92-488 (SH) on an introgression segment derived from S. tuberosum ssp. andigena. Markers from a high-resolution genetic map of the H1 locus (Bakker et al. in Theor Appl Genet 109:146-152, 2004) were used to screen a BAC library to construct a physical map covering a 341-kb region of the resistant haplotype coming from SH. For comparison, physical maps were also generated of the two haplotypes from the diploid susceptible genotype RH89-039-16 (S. tuberosum ssp. tuberosum/S. phureja), spanning syntenic regions of 700 and 319 kb. Gene predictions on the genomic segments resulted in the identification of a large cluster consisting of variable numbers of the CC-NB-LRR type of R genes for each haplotype. Furthermore, the regions were interspersed with numerous transposable elements and genes coding for an extensin-like protein and an amino acid transporter. Comparative analysis revealed a major lack of gene order conservation in the sequences of the three closely related haplotypes. Our data provide insight in the evolutionary mechanisms shaping the H1 locus and will facilitate the map-based cloning of the H1 resistance gene.

Abstract
Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is one of the most devastating diseases in cultivated potato. Breeding of new potato cultivars with high levels of resistance to P. infestans is considered the most durable strategy for future potato cultivation. In this study, we report the identification of a new late-blight resistance (R) locus from the wild potato species Solanum bulbocastanum. Using several different approaches, a high-resolution genetic map of the new locus was generated, delimiting Rpi-blb3 to a 0.93 cM interval on chromosome 4. One amplification fragment length polymorphism marker was identified that cosegregated in 1,396 progeny plants of an intraspecific mapping population with Rpi-blb3. For comparative genomics purposes, markers linked to Rpi-blb3 were tested in mapping populations used to map the three other late-blight R loci Rpi-abpt, R2, and R2-like also to chromosome 4. Marker order and allelic conservation suggest that Rpi-blb3, Rpi-abpt, R2, and R2-like reside in the same R gene cluster on chromosome 4 and likely belong to the same gene family. Our findings provide novel insights in the evolution of R gene clusters conferring late-blight resistance in Solanum spp.

Abstract
Genetic resistance to plant viruses has been used for at least 80 years to control agricultural losses to viral diseases. To date, hundreds of naturally occurring genes for resistance to plant viruses have been reported from studies of both monocot and dicot crops, their wild relatives, and the plant model, Arabidopsis. The isolation and characterization of a few of these genes in the past decade have resulted in detailed knowledge of some of the molecules that are critical in determining the outcome of plant viral infection. In this chapter, we have catalogued genes for resistance to plant viruses and have summarized current knowledge regarding their identity and inheritance. Insofar as information is available, the genetic context, genomic organization, mechanisms of resistance and agricultural deployment of plant virus resistance genes are also discussed.

Abstract
The endoparasitic root cyst nematode Globodera rostochiensis causes considerable damage in potato cultivation. In the past, major genes for nematode resistance have been introgressed from related potato species into cultivars. Elucidating the molecular basis of resistance will contribute to the understanding of nematode-plant interactions and assist in breeding nematode-resistant cultivars. The Gro1 resistance locus to G. rostochiensis on potato chromosome VII co-localized with a resistance-gene-like (RGL) DNA marker. This marker was used to isolate from genomic libraries 15 members of a closely related candidate gene family. Analysis of inheritance, linkage mapping, and sequencing reduced the number of candidate genes to three. Complementation analysis by stable potato transformation showed that the gene Gro1-4 conferred resistance to G. rostochiensis pathotype Ro1. Gro1-4 encodes a protein of 1136 amino acids that contains Toll-interleukin 1 receptor (TIR), nucleotide-binding (NB), leucine-rich repeat (LRR) homology domains and a C-terminal domain with unknown function. The deduced Gro1-4 protein differed by 29 amino acid changes from susceptible members of the Gro1 gene family. Sequence characterization of 13 members of the Gro1 gene family revealed putative regulatory elements and a variable microsatellite in the promoter region, insertion of a retrotransposon-like element in the first intron, and a stop codon in the NB coding region of some genes. Sequence analysis of RT-PCR products showed that Gro1-4 is expressed, among other members of the family including putative pseudogenes, in non-infected roots of nematode-resistant plants. RT-PCR also demonstrated that members of the Gro1 gene family are expressed in most potato tissues.

Abstract
To facilitate isolation and characterization of disease and insect resistance genes important to potato, two bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries were constructed from genomic DNA of the Mexican wild diploid species, Solanum pinnatisectum, which carries high levels of resistance to the most important potato pathogen and pest, the late blight and the Colorado potato beetle (CPB). One of the libraries was constructed from the DNA, partially digested with BamHI, and it consists of 40328 clones with an average insert size of 125 kb. The other library was constructed from the DNA partially digested with EcoRI, and it consists of 17280 clones with an average insert size of 135 kb. The two libraries, together, represent approximately six equivalents of the wild potato haploid genome. Both libraries were evaluated for contamination with organellar DNA sequences and were shown to have a very low percentage (0.65-0.91%) of clones derived from the chloroplast genome. High-density filters, prepared from the two libraries, were screened with ten restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers linked to the resistance genes for late blight, CPB, Verticillium wilt and potato cyst nematodes, and the gene Sr1 for the self-incompatibility S-locus. Thirty nine positive clones were identified and at least two positive BAC clones were detected for each RFLP marker. Four markers that are linked to the late blight resistance gene Rpi1 hybridized to 14 BAC clones. Fifteen BAC clones were shown to harbor the PPO (polyphenol oxidase) locus for the CPB resistance by three RFLP probes. Two RFLP markers detected five BAC clones that were linked to the Sr1 gene for self-incompatibility. These results agree with the library's predicted extent of coverage of the potato genome, and indicated that the libraries are useful resources for the molecular isolation of disease and insect resistance genes, as well as other economically important genes in the wild potato species. The development of the two potato BAC libraries provides a starting point, and landmarks for BAC contig construction and chromosome walking towards the map-based cloning of agronomically important target genes in the species.

Abstract
Velvetbean ( Mucuna sp., n=11), a self-pollinated species, is an important legume used in tropical agricultural systems in rotation with other crops for nematode management and/or soil improvement. A genetic map of velvetbean was constructed in order to identify potential molecular markers linked to important morphological and agronomic traits that would be particularly useful for developing and improving the species. Traits such as seed coat color, pod color, and pod pubescence were among the main parameters observed in a process of genetic diversity estimation. Two slightly divergent velvetbean accessions, PI364362 and 'Edgar Farm White', a land race from Alabama, were used to make an intraspecific F(1) hybrid. Amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis (AFLP) detected an average of six polymorphic fragments per primer pair between the two parents. As expected for dominant markers, the sum of all AFLP bands from both parents was generally observed to be present in the AFLP profiles of the F(1) progeny, indicating full penetrance and the dominant nature of AFLP markers. An F(2) population was generated by self-pollinating a single F(1) plant. Using 37 AFLP primer pairs, we detected 233 polymorphic markers of which 164 (70.4%) segregated in 3:1 Mendelian ratios, while the remaining 69 (29.6%) both segregated and were scorable. The genetic linkage map constructed from this population comprised 166 markers, including two morphological traits (pod color and pod pubescence). Twenty linkage groups were found with an average distance between markers of 34.4 cM, covering a total of 687.9 cM. The linkage groups contained from 2 to 12 loci each and the distance between two consecutive loci ranged from 0 to 21.8 cM. The newly designated morphological traits pod color ( pdc) and pod pubescence ( pdp) co-segregated with each other at a distance of 4.2 cM. Two DNA markers designated ACGCAG2 and ACTCTG1 were located in the same group as pdc and pdp. The AFLP linkage map provides opportunities for use in marker-assisted selection and in the detection of loci controlling morphologically important traits.

Abstract
The progress made in DNA marker technology has been tremendous and exciting. DNA markers have provided valuable tools in various analyses ranging from phylogenetic analysis to the positional cloning of genes. The development of high-density molecular maps which has been facilitated by PCR-based markers, have made the mapping and tagging of almost any trait possible. Marker-assisted selection has the potential to deploy favorable gene combinations for disease control. Comparative studies between incompatible species using these markers has resulted in synteny maps which are useful not only in predicting genome organization and evolution but also have practical application in plant breeding. DNA marker technology has found application in fingerprinting genotypes, in determining seed purity, in systematic sampling of germplasm, and in phylogenetic analysis. This review discusses the use of this technology for the genetic improvement of plants.

Abstract
A panel of 17 tetraploid and 11 diploid potato genotypes was screened by comparative sequence analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertion-deletion polymorphisms (InDels), in regions of the potato genome where genes for qualitative and/or quantitative resistance to different pathogens have been localized. Most SNP and InDel markers were derived from bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) insertions that contain sequences similar to the family of plant genes for pathogen resistance having nucleotide-binding-site and leucine-rich-repeat domains (NBS-LRR-type genes). Forty-four such NBS-LRR-type genes containing BAC-insertions were mapped to 14 loci, which tag most known resistance quantitative trait loci (QTL) in potato. Resistance QTL not linked to known resistance-gene-like (RGL) sequences were tagged with other markers. In total, 78 genomic DNA fragments with an overall length of 31 kb were comparatively sequenced in the panel of 28 genotypes. 1498 SNPs and 127 InDels were identified, which corresponded, on average, to one SNP every 21 base pairs and one InDel every 243 base pairs. The nucleotide diversity of the tetraploid genotypes (pi = 0.72 x 10(-3)) was lower when compared with diploid genotypes (pi = 2.31 x 10(-3)). RGL sequences showed higher nucleotide diversity when compared with other sequences, suggesting evolution by divergent selection. Information on sequences, sequence similarities, SNPs and InDels is provided in a database that can be queried via the Internet.

Abstract
In sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), early bolting is caused by a single dominant gene, designated B. Twenty AFLP markers selected from a 7.8-cM segment of the B region on chromosome 2 were used to screen a YAC library, and a first-generation physical map including the B gene, made up of 11 YACs, was established. Because the genome coverage of the YAC library was low, a BAC library was constructed in the vector pBeloBAC11. This library consists of 57,600 clones with an average insert size of 116 kb, corresponding to 8.8 genome equivalents. Screening of the BAC library with chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA probes indicated that less than 0.1% of the clones contained organelle-derived DNA. To fill the gaps in the physical map around the B gene, the BAC library was screened with four AFLP markers and 10 YAC-derived probes. In total, 54 different BACs were identified. Overlaps between BACs were detected by using BAC termini amplified by PCR as probes, and by RFLP fingerprinting. In this way, a minimal tiling path of the central 4.6-cM region was constructed, which consists of 14 BACs. The B locus was localized to a 360-kb contig, a size which makes positional cloning of the gene feasible.

Abstract
The European chicken meat market is characterized by numerous quality marks: "Label de Qualité Wallon" in Belgium, "Label Rouge" in France, denominations of geographical origin, organic agriculture, etc. Most of those certified productions have specifications requiring the use of slow-growing chicken strains. The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique has been used to search molecular markers able to discriminate slow-growing chicken strains from fast-growing ones and to authenticate certified products. Two pairs of restriction enzymes (EcoRI/MseI and EcoRI/TaqI) and 121 selective primer combinations were tested on individual DNA samples from chicken products essentially in carcass form that were ascribed as belonging to either slow- or fast-growing strains. Within the resulting fingerprints, two fragments were identified as type-strains specific markers. One primer combination gives a band (333 bp) that is specific for slow-growing chickens, and another primer pair generates a band (372 bp) that was found to be characteristic of fast-growing chickens. The two markers were isolated, cloned, and sequenced. The effectiveness and the specificity of the two interesting determinants were assessed on individuals of two well-known strains (ISA 657 and Cobb 500) and on commercialized products coming from various origins.

Abstract
Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers have become widely used in saturating the region of a gene of interest for the ultimate goal of map-based cloning of the gene or for marker-assisted selection. However, conversion of AFLP markers into restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) or polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based markers will greatly expand their usefulness in genetic applications. Previously, we have identified 15 AFLP markers tightly linked to the Vf gene conferring scab resistance in apple. In this study, we have successfully converted 11 of these AFLPs into sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers. Of the remaining four nonconverted AFLP markers, one, ET2MC8-1, has been found to be very short (83 base pairs) and is an A/T rich (90%) marker; a second, EA2MG11-1, has shown identical sequences between Malus floribunda 821 (the original source of the Vf gene) and scab-susceptible apple cultivars; while the other two, EA12MG16-1 and ET8MG1-1, have not been cloned. Using the 11 converted SCAR markers along with 5 previously identified SCAR markers, a high-resolution linkage map around the Vf gene has been constructed, and found to be consistent with its corresponding AFLP map. Three converted SCAR markers (ACS-3, -7, and -9) are inseparable from the Vf gene; whereas one (ACS-6) is located left of, and the remaining seven (ACS-1, -2, -4, -5, -8, -10, and -11) are located right of the Vf gene at genetic distances of 0.4 and 0.2 cM, respectively. A reliable and robust procedure for development of SCAR markers from AFLP markers is presented.Key words: apple, AFLP, SCAR, apple scab disease, Vf gene.

Abstract
Genomic positions of phenotypically defined disease resistance genes (R genes) and R gene homologues were analyzed in three solanaceous crop genera, Lycopersicon (tomato), Solanum (potato), and Capsicum (pepper). R genes occurred at corresponding positions in two or more genomes more frequently than expected by chance; however, in only two cases, both involving Phytophthora spp., did genes at corresponding positions have specificity for closely related pathogen taxa. In contrast, resistances to Globodera spp., potato virus Y, tobacco mosaic virus, and tomato spotted wilt virus were mapped in two or more genera and did not occur in corresponding positions. Without exception, pepper homologues of the cloned R genes Sw-5, N, Pto, Prf, and I2 were found in syntenous positions in other solanaceous genomes and in some cases also mapped to additional positions near phenotypically defined solanaceous R genes. This detailed analysis and synthesis of all available data for solanaceous R genes suggests a working hypothesis regarding the evolution of R genes. Specifically, while the taxonomic specificity of host R genes may be evolving rapidly, general functions of R alleles (e.g., initiation of resistance response) may be conserved at homologous loci in related plant genera.

Abstract
The presence of a single resistance (R) gene allele can determine plant disease resistance. The protein products of such genes may act as receptors that specifically interact with pathogen-derived factors. Most functionally defined R-genes are of the nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat (NBS-LRR) supergene family and are present as large multigene families. The specificity of R-gene interactions together with the robustness of plant-pathogen interactions raises the question of their gene number and diversity in the genome. Genomic sequences from tomato showing significant homology to genes conferring race-specific resistance to pathogens were identified by systematically "scanning" the genome using a variety of primer pairs based on ubiquitous NBS motifs. Over 70 sequences were isolated and 10% are putative pseudogenes. Mapping of the amplified sequences on the tomato genetic map revealed their organization as mixed clusters of R-gene homologues that showed in many cases linkage to genetically characterized tomato resistance loci. Interspecific examination within Lycopersicon showed the existence of a null allele. Consideration of the tomato and potato comparative genetic maps unveiled conserved syntenic positions of R-gene homologues. Phylogenetic clustering of R-gene homologues within tomato and other Solanaceae family members was observed but not with R-gene homologues from Arabidopsis thaliana. Our data indicate remarkably rapid evolution of R-gene homologues during diversification of plant families.

Abstract
We describe the mapping of amplified restriction fragment polymorphism (AFLP) markers in chicken (Gallus domesticus) using a multi-colour fluorescent detection system. DNA was used from a population consisting of four families with a total of 183 F2 individuals. The enzyme combination EcoRI/TaqI was used for double digestion, and fluorescently labelled fragments were analysed on an ABI PRISM 377 DNA sequencer. Polymorphic signals in the range of 50-500 bp were genotyped with the ABI PRISM Genotyper 2.0 software, which enabled the analysis of both dominant and incomplete dominant markers (with respect to AFLP, often referred to as codominant). In 19 sets consisting of 3 EcoRI/TaqI primer pair combinations each, a total of 475 polymorphic markers was detected. From these polymorphisms 344 markers could be mapped on the Wageningen linkage map. Fourteen markers were length polymorphisms of the same fragment and 28 markers Z-linked and uniformative; 64 AFLP markers appeared to be unlinked and 25 AFLP markers could not be accurately mapped on the basis of the genotyping results. The resulting AFLP/microsatellite linkage map is comprised of 33 linkage groups with a total of 835 loci.

Abstract
Plant genes for pathogen resistance can be used to engineer disease resistant crops. Oligonucleotides were designed from sequence motifs conserved between resistance genes of tobacco and Arabidopsis thaliana and used as PCR primers in potato DNA. Amplification products were obtained that were homologous to known resistance genes and linked without recombination with the nematode resistance locus Gro1 and the Phytophthora infestans resistance locus R7 of potato. Map positions of PCR-derived potato gene fragments were also correlated with resistance loci of the related tomato and tobacco genomes. Our results indicate that plant resistance genes that are effective against nematodes, fungi, viruses and bacteria may be isolated based on common sequence motifs and PCR methodology.

Abstract
Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) has been proposed as a valuable tool for gene mapping in plant species. We compared the levels of polymorphism for AFLP, RAPD, and microsatellite markers on 12 japonica and 2 indica rice cultivars. For AFLPs, seven EcoRI and seven MseI primers used in 18 primer combinations generated a total of 529 bands, of which 147 were clearly polymorphic among the accessions. The 21 RAPD primers produced 103 bands of which 43 were polymorphic. For the microsatellite markers the number of alleles per locus ranged from one (1 locus) to six. All marker types gave the same classification of the rice accessions into subspecies. Within japonica cultivars, the average percent polymorphism between any two accessions was 22% for AFLP, 24% for RAPD, and 36% for microsatellite markers (monomorphic bands excluded). The average percent polymorphism between indica and japonica accessions was 65, 35, and 76%, for AFLP, RAPD, and microsatellite markers, respectively. The total number of polymorphic bands was much higher for AFLPs, averaging over eight per gel. Seven AFLP primer combinations were assayed on 80 F2 plants of an indica x japonica cross previously mapped with RFLP markers. Of 54 AFLP bands scored, 50 could be mapped to specific chromosomes, and these appeared to be distributed throughout the rice genome. This indicates that AFLPs are a promising marker for mapping important genes in rice.

Abstract
The R1 allele confers on potato a race-specific resistance to Phytophthora infestans. The corresponding genetic locus maps on chromosome V in a region in which several other resistance genes are also located. As part of a strategy for cloning R1, a high-resolution genetic map was constructed for the segment of chromosome V that is bordered by the RFLP loci GP21 and GP179 and includes the R1 locus. Bulked segregant analysis and markers based on amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP markers) were used to select molecular markers closely linked to R1. Twenty-nine of approximately 3200 informative AFLP loci displayed linkage to the R1 locus. Based on the genotypic analysis of 461 gametes, eight loci mapped within the GP21-GP179 interval. Two of those could not be separated from R1 by recombination. For genotyping large numbers of plants with respect to the flanking markers GP21 and GP179 PCR based assays were also developed which allowed marker-assisted selection of plants with genotypes Rr and rr and of recombinant plants.
