Abstract
Mungbean (Vigna radiata) and ricebean (V. umbellata) were utilized to obtain an inter-specific recombinant inbred line (RIL) population with the objective of detecting quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) resistance. To precisely map QTLs, accurate genetic linkage maps are essential. In the present study, genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) platform was utilized to develop the genetic linkage map. The map contained 538 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, consisted of 11 linkage groups and spanned for 1291.7cM with an average marker distance of 2.40cM. The individual linkage group ranged from 90.2 to 149.1cM in length, and the SNP markers were evenly distributed in the genetic linkage map, with 30-79 SNP markers per chromosome. The QTL analysis using the genetic map and 2years (2015 and 2016) of phenotyping data identified five QTLs with phenotypic variation explained (PVE) from 10.11 to 20.04%. Of these, a QTL on chromosome 4, designated as qMYMV4-1, was major and stably detected in the same marker interval in both years. This QTL region harbours possible candidate genes for controlling MYMV resistance. The linkage map and QTL/gene (s) for MYMV resistance identified in this study should be useful for QTL fine mapping and cloning for further studies.
