Abstract
Bacterial leaf spot (BLS) is a disease that affects lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) worldwide. The disease is caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pathovar vitians (Xcv), which exclusively infects lettuce and is particularly devastating in warm humid climates. Reine des Glaces (RG), an old Batavia-type cultivar, exhibited an uninvestigated partial resistance to Xcv. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were analyzed using two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations derived from RG × Eruption and RG × Delsay using three isolates collected in California and Canada, each representing a different race, and an isolate collected in France. A major QTL was identified in linkage group 2 in both populations; additional, minor QTLs were also detected in other linkage groups. The major QTL collocates with the Xanthomonas resistance 1 (Xar1) and Xanthomonas campestris vitians resistance (Xcvr) genes that had previously been identified using RIL populations derived from Salinas 88 × La Brillante and PI 358001-1 × Tall Guzmaine. RG provides another resistance resource for combating BLS using data provided by this study for marker-assisted selection.
