Screening of Resistance Gene Analogue Marker(S) in Indian Bean [Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet] against Yellow Mosaic Disease

Abstract

In this study, 104 genotypes of Indian beans were evaluated against the yellow mosaic disease at  College Farm, N. M. College of Agriculture,  Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari  during Rabi 2021–2022 (South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone-II ), based on the disease rating scale (1–9). Out of the 104 genotypes of Indian beans, 33 genotypes showed resistance to the yellow mosaic disease, 14 genotypes showed moderate resistance, 17 genotypes showed moderate susceptibility, 29 genotypes showed susceptibility, and 11 genotypes showed highly susceptibility. The obtained sequence has a greatest identity of 95.05 percent with the full sequence of the dolichos yellow mosaic virus isolate AG segment DNA A with accession number MZ821026.1. As a result, the variant was given the accession number ON461886 and named dolichos yellow mosaic virus isolate NAU-RA coat protein gene segment DNA -A. In present investigation six resistant (P-19-169, V-19-15, V-19-35, GNIB-22, W-19-05, V-19-24) and six highly susceptible (P-19-176, W-19-60, P-19-127, V-19-11, W-19-58, V-19-106) Indian bean genotypes were screened by nine pairs of RGA primers.  The amplicons were obtained in seven pairs of RGA primers, where five pairs of RGA primersRGA1FCG &RGA1R,VMYR1F & VMYR1R,YR4F & YR4R, RGAIB3 & RGAIB4, RGAIB5 & RGAIB6 amplified single band size of approximately 450 bp, 450 bp, 450 bp, 450 bp and 1050 bp respectively in resistant genotypes, while only two pairs of RGA primers CYR1F & CYR1R and RGAIB1 & RGAIB2 were found with prominent band of approximately 950bp and 350bp. According to the data from the current investigation, seven pairs of RGA markers have proven successful in differentiating between the resistant and highly susceptible genotypes of Indian beans. These RGA markers can be employed in investigations mapping resistance genes and validating markers with long-lasting YMV resistance.
