摘要： Gummy stem blight (GSB), caused by Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum (syn. Didymella bryoniae), is a destructive foliar disease of watermelon in areas with hot and humid climates. The wild watermelon germplasm PI 189225 is a known source of resistance to GSB. The identification and use of molecular markers linked to resistance genes in the wild-type germplasm will speed up the introgression of GSB resistance into new watermelon varieties. An F-2 segregating population was obtained from a cross between the resistant wild watermelon genotype PI 189225 and the susceptible genotype K3. The F-2-derived F-3 families were inoculated with a single isolate of S. cucurbitacearum (JS002) from Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The results of the genetic analysis demonstrated that GSB resistance in PI 189225 was controlled by a major quantitative trait locus (QTL), temporarily designated Qgsb8.1. Based on the results of bulk sergeant analysis and sequencing, one associated region spanning 5.7 Mb (10,358,659 to 16,101,517) on chromosome 8 was identified as responsible for the resistance to GSB using the Delta(single-nucleotide polymorphism [SNP]-index) method. The result of a QTL linkage analysis with Kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) SNP markers further mapped the GSB resistance locus between the SNP markers KASP_JS9383 and KASP_JS9168 in a region of 571.27 kb on chromosome 8. According to the watermelon gene annotation database, the region contains approximately 19 annotated genes and, of these 19 genes, 2 are disease resistance gene analogs: Cla001017 (coiled-coil nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat resistance protein) and Cla001019 (pathogenesis related). Reverse-transcription quantitative PCR demonstrated that the expression of the two genes changed following S. cucurbitacearum infection, suggesting that they play important roles in GSB resistance in watermelon. This result will facilitate fine mapping and cloning of the Qgsb8.1 locus, and the linked markers will further provide a useful tool for marker-assisted selection of this locus in watermelon breeding programs.
