- Abstract
The Rvi15 ( Vr2) apple scab resistance locus found in the GMAL 2473 accession has been previously mapped to the top of the Linkage Group 2 (LG2) by analyzing 89 progeny plants of a cross between 'Idared' and GMAL 2473. A new population of 989 progeny plants, derived from a cross between 'Golden Delicious' and GMAL 2473, has been analyzed with the two SSR markers CH02c02a and CH02f06, previously found to be associated with Rvi15 ( Vr2), and with two published markers derived from NBS sequences (ARGH17 and ARGH37) estimated to map close to the Rvi15 ( Vr2) locus. ARGH17 and ARGH37, were found to be the closest markers to the resistance locus, bracketing it within an interval of 1.5 cM. The SSRs mapped one on each side of Rvi15 ( Vr2). CH02f06 mapped at 2.9 cM from ARGH37 while CH02a02a mapped at 1.7 from ARGH17. The position of Rvi15 ( Vr2) respect to CH02a02a indicates that Rvi15 ( Vr2) and Rvi4 ( Vh4), a second apple scab gene mapped on the top of LG2, are two different resistance genes. In order to develop even more tightly linked markers to Rvi15 ( Vr2), ARGH17 was used as the starting point for chromosome walking through the Rvi15 ( Vr2) homolog region of the cv. 'Florina'. A single 'Florina' BAC clone, 36I17, was sufficient to span the homologous locus in the new population's recombinant progeny. Sequencing of the 36I17 BAC clone allowed identifying seven putative ORFs, including two showing a TIR-NBS-LRR structure. Ten additional markers could be developed mapping within a 1.8 cM interval around the Rvi15 ( Vr2) resistance gene. ARGH17 and GmTNL1 markers, the latter also derived from NBS-LRR resistance gene homolog sequence, are the closest markers to Rvi15 ( Vr2) bracketing it within a 0.5 cM interval. The availability of 12 markers within the Rvi15 ( Vr2) region, all within a small physical distance (kbp) in 'Florina', suggests that cloning of the Rvi15 ( Vr2) apple scab resistance gene from GMAL 2473 will be possible.
