TL;DR
Scientists cloned a peanut gene that helps resist a destructive bacterial disease, offering new tools for breeding resistant crops.
Contribution
The positional cloning of AhRRS6 and its differential impact on plant immunity pathways in peanut against Ralstonia solanacearum.
Findings
Two resistance loci were mapped on chromosome 12, including a novel 1.11 Mb QTL.
AhRRS6y conferred strong resistance, while AhRRS6x caused susceptibility in model plants.
AhRRS6y reduced oxidative damage markers, enhancing resistance to bacterial wilt.
Abstract
Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, is a destructive disease with no effective chemical control, severely affecting global crop production. This study applied BSR-seq on 581 recombinant inbred lines (RILs), combined with linkage mapping, to identify resistance quantitative trait loci (QTL). Illumina sequencing yielded 189.6 Gb of data, identifying 70,035 high-quality SNPs from 55,840 genes. Two resistance loci were mapped on chromosome 12: a novel 1.11 Mb QTL and an adjacent 1.03 Mb region. Five CC-NBS-LRR-type resistance candidate genes were identified. The AhRRS6 alleles were cloned, and three allele-specific SNP markers were developed and validated across peanut breeding varieties. Additionally, 3,851 differentially expressed genes were detected, including key resistance-related genes. Transgenic AhRRS6y conferred strong resistance to R. solanacearum, while AhRRS6x…
