Abstract Background Downy mildew is the most relevant disease of quinoa and the most widespread. Though, little is known about the genetics of resistance to this disease. The objective of this study was to identify the genomic regions controlling downy mildew resistance in quinoa and candidate genes for this trait. With this aim we carried out a GWAS analysis in a collection formed by 211 quinoa accessions from different origins. This approach was combined with inheritance studies and Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) in a segregating population. Results GWAS analysis identified 26 genomic regions associated with the trait. Inheritance studies in a F2 population segregating for resistance revealed the existence of a major single dominant gene controlling downy mildew complete resistance in quinoa accession PI614911. Through BSA, this gene was found to be located in chromosome 4, in a region also identified by GWAS. Furthermore, several plant receptors and resistance genes were found to be located into the genomic regions identified by GWAS and are postulated as candidate genes for resistance. Conclusions Until now, little was known about the genetic control of downy mildew resistance in quinoa. A previous inheritance study suggested that resistance to this disease was a quantitative polygenic trait and previous GWAS analyses were unable to identify accurate markers for this disease. In our study we demonstrate the existence of, at least, one major gene conferring resistance to this disease, identify the genomic regions involved in the trait and provide plausible candidate genes involved in defense. Therefore, this study significantly increases our knowledge about the genetics of downy mildew resistance and provides relevant information for breeding for this important trait. |
