Gummy stem blight (GSB), caused by Didymella bryoniae (syn. Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum), is an important disease of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) worldwide. To better understand the resistance to GSB in cucumber seedlings, a set of 160 F9 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) and a total of 405 pairs of SSR primers were employed to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) conferring the resistance. Genetic analysis indicated that the resistance to GSB in PI 183967 seedlings was quantitative and mainly governed by two pairs of major QTLs and multiple minor QTLs. Six QTLs, gsb3.1, gsb3.2, gsb3.3, gsb4.1, gsb5.1, and gsb6.1, for resistance to GSB in cucumber seedlings were detected. The stable locus gsb5.1 on Chr.5 was repeatedly detected in three seasons. Locus gsb5.1 accounted for the highest phenotypic variation, 17.9%, and was flanked by SSR15321 and SSR07711 within the genetic distance of 0.5 cM. There were 102 candidate genes predicted in the region harboring the stable QTL gsb5.1, of which seven genes were related to disease resistance. These results can provide a good base for further study and molecular markers for fine-mapping the major QTL conferring GSB resistance in cucumber.

Abstract Key message We identified QTLs associated with gummy stem blight resistance in an interspecific F2:3Citrullus population and developed marker assays for selection of the loci in watermelon. Abstract Gummy stem blight (GSB), caused by three Stagonosporopsis spp., is a devastating fungal disease of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and other cucurbits that can lead to severe yield losses. Currently, no commercial cultivars with genetic resistance to GSB in the field have been reported. Utilizing GSB-resistant cultivars would reduce yield losses, decrease the high cost of disease control, and diminish hazards resulting from frequent fungicide application. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with GSB resistance in an F2:3 interspecific Citrullus mapping population (N = 178), derived from a cross between Crimson Sweet (C. lanatus) and GSB-resistant PI 482276 (C. amarus). The population was phenotyped by inoculating seedlings with Stagonosporopsis citrulli 12178A in the greenhouse in two separate experiments, each with three replications. We identified three QTLs (ClGSB3.1, ClGSB5.1 and ClGSB7.1) associated with GSB resistance, explaining between 6.4 and 21.1% of the phenotypic variation. The genes underlying ClGSB5.1 includes an NBS-LRR gene (ClCG05G019540) previously identified as a candidate gene for GSB resistance in watermelon. Locus ClGSB7.1 accounted for the highest phenotypic variation and harbors twenty-two candidate genes associated with disease resistance. Among them is ClCG07G013230, encoding an Avr9/Cf-9 rapidly elicited disease resistance protein, which contains a non-synonymous point mutation in the DUF761 domain that was significantly associated with GSB resistance. High throughput markers were developed for selection of ClGSB5.1 and ClGSB7.1. Our findings will facilitate the use of molecular markers for efficient introgression of the resistance loci and development of GSB-resistant watermelon cultivars.
