- Abstract
Angular leaf spot is one of the major diseases of the common bean. The extensive genetic variability of this pathogen requires the constant development of new resistant cultivars. Different sources of resistance have been identified and characterized. For the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, four main resistance sources were found: Mexico 54, AND 277, MAR 2 and Cornell 49-242. Independent characterization of these genotypes demonstrates that resistance in all four sources is dominant and monogenic. However, there are no studies on the relationship and independence of these genes. In the present work, allelism tests were carried out to understand the relationship among the resistance genes present in these four resistance sources. The data revealed a much higher complexity in the resistance inheritance of these genes than previously reported. It was demonstrated that Cornell 49-242 possesses a dominant gene ( Phg-3); Mexico 54 possesses three genes, denominated Phg-2, Phg-5 and Phg-6. In MAR 2, two genes were found, one independent designated Phg-4 and the other, an allelic form of Phg-5, denominated of Phg-52. Allelic forms were also found in AND 277, Phg-22, Phg-32 and Phg-42. These results have special importance for breeding programs aiming to pyramid resistance genes.
