EPAGRI hybrid apple cultivars resistant to Glomerella leaf spot have the Rgls resistance gene

Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Glomerella Leaf Spot (GLS) is the main disease of the ‘Gala’ apple cultivar in Brazil. Recent studies have suggested that the resistance of apple trees to GLS is controlled by a recessive gene called Rgls. This study investigated whether EPAGRI new apple cultivars have this resistance gene. The cultivars evaluated were ‘Fuji Suprema’ and ‘Gala Real’, which are standards of resistance and susceptibility to GLS, respectively, and the new apple cultivars selected by the phenotypic resistance to GLS: ‘Monalisa’, ‘Luiza’, ‘Venice’, ‘Isadora’ (hybrids) and ‘Gala Gui’ (spontaneous 'Gala' mutant). The DNA of cultivars was extracted and amplified using the SSR S0506206 molecular marker. RT-PCR was performed, and its products were evaluated by electrophoresis in 2% agarose gel. The new hybrid apple cultivars exhibited amplified DNA fragments similar to those of ‘Fuji Suprema’, indicating the presence of the Rgls gene. However, ‘Gala Gui’ cultivar showed amplified DNA fragments similarly to the ‘Gala Real’ susceptible cultivar. The results suggest that the genetic resistance of apple trees to GLS may be regulated by genes other than Rgls, particularly for spontaneous 'Gala' mutants that are phenotypically resistant to GLS.
Resumo A Mancha Foliar de Glomerella (MFG) é a principal doença dos cultivares Gala no Brasil. Estudos recentes sugerem que a resistência das macieiras à MFG é controlada por um gene recessivo chamado Rgls. Este estudo investigou se os novos cultivares de macieira da EPAGRI possuem este gene de resistência. Os cultivares avaliados foram: Fuji Suprema e Gala Real, que são padrões de resistência e suscetibilidade à MFG, respectivamente, e os novos cultivares de maçã selecionadas pela resistência fenotípica à MFG: Monalisa, Luiza, Venice, Isadora (híbridos) e Gala Gui(mutante espontâneo de Gala). O DNA dos cultivares foi extraído e amplificado, usando o marcador molecular SSR S0506206. A RT-PCR foi realizada, e os produtos, avaliados poreletroforese em gel de agarose a 2%. Os novos cultivares híbridos de maçã exibiram fragmentos de DNA amplificados, semelhantes aos da 'Fuji Suprema', indicando a presença dogene Rgls.No entanto, a 'Gala Gui' mostrou fragmentos de DNA amplificados de forma semelhante ao cultivar suscetível Gala Real. Os resultados sugerem que a resistência genética das macieiras à MFG pode ser regulada por genes diferentes do Rgls, especialmente para mutantes espontâneos de 'Gala' que são fenotipicamente resistentes à MFG. |
