Abstrakt: Key message: QTL mapping and recombinant screening confirmed the major effect of QTL Ae-Ps4.5 on pea resistance to pathotype III of Aphanomyces euteiches and fine-mapped the QTL to a 3.06-Mb interval. Aphanomyces root rot, caused by Aphanomyces euteiches, is the most important disease of pea (Pisum sativum L.) worldwide. The development of pea-resistant varieties is a major challenge to control the disease. Previous linkage studies identified seven main resistance quantitative trait loci (QTL), including the QTL Ae-Ps4.5 associated with partial resistance in US nurseries infested by the pea pathotype III of A. euteiches. This study aimed to confirm the major effect of Ae-Ps4.5 on A. euteiches pathotype III, refine its interval, and identify candidate genes underlying the QTL. QTL mapping on an updated genetic map from the Puget × 90-2079 pea recombinant inbred line population identified Ae-Ps4.5 in a 0.8-cM confidence interval with a high effect (R2 = 89%) for resistance to the Ae109 reference strain of A. euteiches (pathotype III) under controlled conditions. However, the QTL mapping did not detect Ae-Ps4.5 for resistance to the RB84 reference strain of A. euteiches (pathotype I). Screening 224-pea BC5F2 plant progeny derived from three near-isogenic lines (NILs) carrying the 90-2079 allele at Ae-Ps4.5 in the Puget genetic background with 26 SNP markers identified 15 NILs showing recombination in the QTL interval. Phenotyping of the recombinant lines for resistance to the Ae109 strain of A. euteiches reduced the QTL to a physical interval of 3.06 Mb, containing 50 putative annotated genes on the Caméor pea genome V1a among which three candidate genes highlighted. This study provides closely linked SNP markers and putative candidate genes to accelerate pea breeding for resistant varieties to Aphanomyces root rot. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
