Definitions
- the invention relates to plants which express resistance against a pathogen. More in particular, this invention relates to pepper plant which is resistant against Leveillula taurica. Furthermore the invention relates to the seeds, progeny and propagation material derived from the resistant pepper plant and the use of the resistant plant as germplasm in a breeding program.
- Sweet pepper plants belong to the genus Capsicum which is part of the Nightshade family ⁇ Solanaceae).
- Capsicum species are native to South America, Middle America and a part of North America, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years, and are now cultivated worldwide. Some of the members of Capsicum are used as spices, vegetables, and medicines.
- Capsicum plants have a variety of names depending on place and type.
- the species Capsicum annuum is the most common and extensively cultivated of the five domesticated Capsicum species ⁇ Capsicum annuum, Capsicum baccatum, Capsicum chacoense, Capsicum chinense, Capsicum frutescens). It comprises several cultivar groups among which bell pepper (also named paprika or sweet pepper) is the most commonly grown in northern Europe and the USA. Bell peppers are eaten raw, cooked, immature and mature and may be processed into powders, sauces, and salsas. The fruits are mostly green in the beginning, but during ripening they become red, yellow, orange, purple, white or brown.
- Peppers can be cultivated in the open field, greenhouses or shade house under a wide range of various climatic conditions, but they will be most successful in warm and dry conditions.
- Powdery mildew infections in pepper caused by Leveillula taurica are becoming an increasing problem in pepper production areas.
- Leveillula taurica causes powdery mildew of numerous crops as pepper, tomato, artichoke, cucumber, onion and potato.
- Capsicum spec. L. are rare and unsatisfactory. Several pepper accessions exhibit various levels of resistance in natural infection conditions although most of them are non-annuum species or their resistance level is low. Only few articles and reports on resistance in pepper to Leveillula taurica can be found. The most promising source of resistance was found in the C. annuum accession "H3" from east Africa (Daubeze et al, 1989). Research on the hereditary nature of the underlying resistance factors done by Daubeze et al. (1995) (Plant Breeding 114, 327-329) and Lefebvre et al.
- pepper plants were developed that are highly resistant against L. taurica.
- the said resistance of the invention is controlled by a genetic determinant, the inheritance of which is consistent with that of a polygenic recessive trait.
- LG1/8 is an additional linkage group for chromosome 1 and chromosome 8.
- a special notation is used, because of the known reciprocal translocation in that region, differentiating the genome of C. annuum from that of other Capsicum species.
- the current invention which relates to a QTL that explains almost 57% of the found variation has certainly an added value compared to this prior art.
- the use of a QTL that can explain most of the variance found in resistance against Leveillula taurica can provide a more efficient method than the combined use of several QTL's that can explain less of the found variance.
- a strong QTL can provide a good indicator of the phenotypic trait without the necessity of doing a more time and cost consuming PM test.
- the less different QTL's are needed the more efficient a test can be applied.
- the more variance a QTL can explain the more predictive power and therefore the more value a QTL has.
- the invention thus relates to a pepper plant ⁇ Capsicum spec.) showing resistance against Leveillula taurica, wherein the pepper plant comprises a QTL on LG1/8 which QTL when homozygously present, leads to resistance against Leveillula taurica and wherein the said QTL is as present in or obtainable from a pepper plant representative seed of which was deposited under deposit accession number NCIMB 42136.
- the pepper plant is a specimen of the species Capsicum annuum.
- the QTL is linked to a molecular marker according to SEQ ID NO. 1.
- Plants of the invention may or may not have the molecular marker. If the plant does not have the molecular marker but when the QTL is present such a plant is still a pepper plant of the invention.
- the QTL is homozygously present and the pepper plant shows resistance against Leveillula taurica.
- Plants in which the QTL is heterozygously present are also part of this invention since although they may not show the resistance phenotype, such plants are still a source of the QTL and can be used in breeding for Leveillula taurica resistant peppers.

- “Introgression” as used in this application is intended to mean introduction of a trait into a plant not carrying the trait, by means of crossing and selection.
- Progeny as used in this application is intended to mean the first and all further descendants from a cross with a plant of the invention that shows fruit formation in the absence of fertilisation. Progeny of the invention are descendants of any cross with a plant of the invention that carries the trait that leads to fruit formation in the absence of fertilisation.
- Progeny also encompasses plants that carry the trait of the invention and are obtained from other plants of the invention by vegetative propagation or multiplication.
- An ancestor is intended to encompass not only the generation immediately prior to the plant but also multiple generations before that. More in particular, the ancestor is a plant from the deposited seed or a further generation descendent there from.
- a mapping population was made from a cross between Capsicum frutescens as deposited at the NCIMB under accession number 41789 and a susceptible Capsicum annuum line.
- the initial population consisted of about 100 lines.
- For marker development and the construction of a genetic map 76 lines and the two parent lines were genotyped with more than 5000 SNPs. Polymorphic markers were used to develop a population specific map. Phenotypic data has been collected on this population for the trait Leveillula taurica resistance. Plants were tested for resistance against Leveillula taurica according to the method as described in example 1. A total of 7 plants per line were tested and the powdery mildew infection level per line was determined. The overlap between phenotypic data and genotypic data resulted in a set of 70 lines to be analyzed with the software package MapQTL.
- interval mapping analysis was performed using the regression algorithm. This was followed by a permutation test to derive the LOD threshold, above which a marker locus is considered a significant QTL. For the Leveillula taurica resistance in this test, the threshold was found to be 3.6. Subsequently the interval mapping results were inspected using the data-driven thresholds and each time the marker closest to a significant peak was chosen as cofactor for a following round of MQM mapping until stable peaks were observed.
- a QTL causing the trait of resistance against Leveillula taurica was found to reside on the linkage group 1/8. This QTL could explain 56.8% of the found variation in Leveillula.
- the LOD score for the QTL is 17.59.
- Table 2 shows the resistance scores of 70 plant lines of the mapping population with and without the QTL on LGl/8. As the results in Table 2 show, the average score of pepper plant lines comprising the QTL is 0.60 on a scale of 0 to 5. The average score of plant lines without the QTL is 2.97. The difference between the average of the two groups is 2.37 on a scale of 0 to 5.
- Plant Resistance QTL present A Plant Resistance QTL not present (B line score allele) line score allele) line 6 1 A line 1 2 B
- Table 3 the resistance scores for individual plants from the F2 with and without the QTL are given. As shown in Table 3, the average score of pepper plants from the F2 comprising the QTL is 2.44 on a scale of 0 to 5. The average score of pepper plants from the F2 without the QTL is 4.68. The difference between these two groups is 2.24 on a scale of 0 to 5.
