Book The Development of a Niemann Pick Gene based Marker in Common Bean  Phaseolus Vulgaris L   for the Selection of Common Bacterial Blight Resistance

Download or read book The Development of a Niemann Pick Gene based Marker in Common Bean Phaseolus Vulgaris L for the Selection of Common Bacterial Blight Resistance written by Emily Morneau and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common bacterial blight (CBB) is a major disease in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli and Xanthomonas fuscans subsp. fuscans. By characterizing alleles in three candidate genes within white bean line OAC Rex, a codominant molecular marker for resistance was created. The Niemann-Pick polymorphism (NPP) marker was developed to screen common beans for CBB resistance, and is anchored in a candidate resistance gene (Niemann-Pick like gene). Individuals in two segregating populations were screened for allelic state and disease susceptibility. It was found that the NPP marker is significantly more efficient (8% decrease in error rate) in comparison to other markers. Within the OAC Rex pedigree, the resistant allele for the NPP marker was found solely within progeny from the introgression of Phaseolus acutifolius into P. vulgaris. Lastly, the two additional candidate resistance genes investigated (R-genes 231733-8-004 and 231733-8-005), were found to have no exploitable polymorphisms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The edited book covers all major and minor diseases in grain legumes (chickpea, pigeon pea, lentil, mung bean, common bean, groundnut, and soybean) and forages legumes (including Medicago, rice bean, and faba bean) and their control measures by using various breeding approaches. Grain legumes are versatile nutritionally rich crops, and are one of the important components of global food security. However, grain legumes are severely challenged by various major and emerging minor diseases causing serious limitations in grain yield and production. Thus, to minimize the negative impact of the growing yield loss caused by these diseases, several approaches have been developed and embraced. This book covers all the latest development in genetics, breeding, genomics, and molecular biology tools for combating various major and minor emerging diseases in all the grain legumes from expert authors. Chapters in this title contain all the relevant illustrations and statistical data detailing the present scenario and identifying the gap for meeting the future demand for sustaining global protein security by developing disease-resistant cultivars. This book is of interest to graduate and postgraduate students, researchers, and policymakers to understand the impacts of various diseases on yield loss in legume crops.

Book Transcriptome Analysis of Common Bean  Phaselous Vulgaris  in Response to Infection by Bacterial Bight Pathogen Xanthomonas Axonopodis Pv  Phaseoli

Download or read book Transcriptome Analysis of Common Bean Phaselous Vulgaris in Response to Infection by Bacterial Bight Pathogen Xanthomonas Axonopodis Pv Phaseoli written by Laura Cox and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most devastating diseases affecting common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production is common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap). Breeding for resistant cultivars represents the best strategy for CBB immunity, but the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between P. vulgaris and CBB are little understood. A transcriptome analysis was undertaken to elucidate this plant-pathogen interaction in a CBB-resistant recombinant inbred line (RIL) and a CBB-susceptible RIL. A total of 800 differentially expressed genes were identified following Xap inoculation, with the majority upregulated in the CBB-resistant RIL 48 hours after inoculation. Upregulated genes included isoflavonoid biosynthesis genes. A metabolite analysis revealed that the isoflavonoids daidzein and genistein, and the phytoalexins coumestrol and phaseollinisoflavan accumulated in the CBB-resistant RIL. These findings are important for targeted breeding approaches aiming to enrich these phytoalexins in P. vulgaris as a strategy to enhance resistance to CBB.

Book The Host pathogen Interaction and Breeding and Genetics of Resistance for Common Bacterial Blight of Common Bean  Phaseolus Vulgaris L   Caused by Xanthomonas Campestris Pv  Phaseoli and X  C  Pv  Phaseoli Var  Fuscans

Download or read book The Host pathogen Interaction and Breeding and Genetics of Resistance for Common Bacterial Blight of Common Bean Phaseolus Vulgaris L Caused by Xanthomonas Campestris Pv Phaseoli and X C Pv Phaseoli Var Fuscans written by Robert Wayne Duncan and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli Smith (Dye) (Xcp, synonym: X. axonopodis pv. phaseoli [Smith] Vauterin et al.) and X. c. pv. phaseoli var. fuscans (Burkholder) Starr & Burkholder (Xcpf, synonym: X. fuscans subsp. fuscans sp. nov.) is the most important bacterial disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Host resistance is the best method of management for this seed-borne disease. The first objective of this research was a host-pathogen diversity study, where new Xcp and Xcpf genotypes associated with CBB in Wisconsin were identified. These new genotypes, along with five previously reported genotypes, were inoculated onto 27 common bean genotypes having different combinations of CBB resistance QTL and markers. Eight host genotypes were identified that were resistant to all pathogen genotypes. The second objective was to compare direct disease selection (DDS) with marker-assisted selection (MAS) for the development of CBB resistant breeding lines, and the cost-effectiveness of the two selection methods. More CBB-resistant breeding lines were generated with DDS under conditions of high disease pressure in the greenhouse. However, under moderate disease pressure in the field, there were no significant differences between the two selection techniques. Under the parameters of this study, DDS was more cost-effective than MAS. Finally, the relationship between flower and seed color, CBB resistance, a CBB resistance SCAR marker (BC420) and the SOD12490 marker associated with the V pigmentation locus was investigated. In an F2 population and in the F3 progeny test, no recombination was found between colored flowers (purple [P] and lilac [L]), a dark undesirable DRK seed coat color and presence of the BC420 marker. All plants in the F2 and F3 that lacked the BC420 marker had white/lilac-striped (wl) flower color and the desirable DRK seed color. The SOD12490 marker was not linked with CBB resistance. Some plants with wl flowers were resistant but lacked the BC420 marker, indicating unidentified QTL in the CBB-resistant donor germplasm (VAX 3, Wilkinson 2, or I9365-25). Together, this information will facilitate the improvement of CBB resistance in all market classes of common bean.

Book Bacterial Blights of Common Bean

Download or read book Bacterial Blights of Common Bean written by Michael Lennon O'Leary and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common bean is a genetically diverse crop that is a staple food in many regions of the world. However, common bean is affected by numerous diseases that can negatively impact production. There are three major bacterial diseases of common bean: halo blight, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola (Psp), bacterial brown spot, caused by P. syringae pv. syringae (Pss), and common bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap) and X. fuscans subsp. fuscans (Xff). Disease symptoms caused by Psp and Pss can be difficult to distinguish in certain common bean genotypes and under certain environmental conditions. Precise pathogen identification is important in terms of potential yield loss and the need for disease management. Symptoms with characteristics of both halo blight and bacterial brown spot were observed on a newly developed cultivar of dark red kidney beans in Wisconsin, and pseudomonads were recovered from all samples. To determine the etiology of this disease, a method of identification was developed that involved 1) PCR with primers specific for toxin genes utilized by Psp and Pss, 2) the ability to induce a hypersensitivity response in tobacco leaves, and 3) symptoms induced on common bean. When applied to the unusual disease phenotype on this dark red kidney variety most of these were atypical symptoms of halo blight. This method was then successfully applied to identify bacterial brown spot in disease samples from Oregon, and halo blight and bacterial brown spot in disease samples from Turkey. Xap and Xff strains induce identical symptoms on common bean but are genetically distinct species. Strains of Xap and Xff can be differentiated in culture by the production of a brown diffusible pigment by Xff strains. However, some Xap strains, particularly those that originate from East Africa, are more genetically related to Xff strains than to the globally predominant Xap strains, and show pathogenic variability on certain cultivars, e.g., Andean versus Middle American. To better understand the genetic diversity among Xap and Xff strains, the complete genome sequences of three globally predominant Xap strains, two East African Xap strains, three Xff strains, and one Xanthomonas spp. strain that is associated with common bean but not pathogenic were determined using long-read sequencing technology. Whole-genome alignment revealed differences in chromosome organization between Xap strains, East African Xap strains, and Xff strains; additionally, mobile element content is variable among these strains. Conserved genetic factors, e.g. conserved plasmids and type III secreted effector proteins, some of which may have been horizontally acquired by Xap and Xff strains, were identified. The brown diffusible pigment produced by Xff strains is the result of an oxidation product of homogentisic acid, which is referred to as pyomelanin. In the tyrosine catabolism pathway, homogentisic acid is produced by 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) and converted to 4-maleylacetoacetate by homogentisate dioxygenase (HmgA). The complete genome sequences of Xap and Xff strains revealed that Xff strains have a conserved mutation in the hmgA gene, whereas Xap strains have an intact hmgA gene. HPPD deletion mutants in an Xff strain resulted in loss of pyomelanin (brown pigment) production, whereas deletion of hmgA in two Xap strains resulted in brown pigment production, making Xap colonies resemble those of wild-type Xff strains. Additionally, complementing a wild-type Xff strain with a functional hmgA gene eliminated visible pyomelanin accumulation. Finally, virulence of a Xff HPPD and a Xap hmgA deletion mutant was assessed on twelve bean cultivars, including both Andean and Middle American gene pools, with different levels of disease resistance to common bacterial blight. There was no significant differences in virulence between brown pigment mutants and wild-type strains.

  • Release : 2012-12-06
  • ISBN : 9400959214
  • Pages : 346 pages

Download or read book Phytochemical Methods written by Jeffrey B. Harborne and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are many books available on methods of organic and biochemical analysis, the majority are either primarily concerned with the application of a particular technique (e.g. paper chromatography) or have been written for an audience of chemists or for biochemists work ing mainly with animaltissues. Thus, no simple guide to modern metho ds of plant analysis exists and the purpose of the present volume is to fill this gap. It is primarily intended for students in the plant sciences, who have a botanical or a general biological background. It should also be of value to students in biochemistry, pharmacognosy, food science and 'natural products' organic chemistry. Most books on chromatography, while admirably covering the needs of research workers, tend to overwhelm the student with long lists of solvent systems and spray reagents that can be applied to each class of organic constituent. The intention here is to simplify the situation by listing only a few specially recommended techniques that have wide currency in phytochemical laboratories. Sufficient details are provided to allow the student to use the techniques for themselves and most sections contain some introductory practical experiments which can be used in classwork.

Book Genomic Designing of Climate Smart Oilseed Crops

Download or read book Genomic Designing of Climate Smart Oilseed Crops written by Chittaranjan Kole and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights modern strategies and methods to improve oilseed crops in the era of climate change, presenting the latest advances in plant molecular breeding and genomics-driven breeding. Spectacular achievements in the fields of molecular breeding, transgenics and genomics in the last three decades have facilitated revolutionary changes in oilseed- crop-improvement strategies and techniques. Since the genome sequencing of rice, as the first crop plant, in 2002, the genomes of about one dozen oilseed crops have been sequenced and more are to follow. This has made it possible to decipher the exact nucleotide sequence and chromosomal positions of agroeconomic genes. Most importantly, comparative genomics and genotyping-by-sequencing have opened up new vistas for exploring available biodiversity, particularly of wild crop relatives, for identifying useful donor genes.
