Abstract:

Powdery mildew is one of the common diseases of Cucurbitaceae crops, which seriously affects the yield and quality of bottle gourd. In this study, 203 MAGIC (multi-parent advanced generation inter cross) populations from the F8 generation of 8 gourd parents were used to conduct genome wide association analysis (GWAS) based on 221 043 high-quality SNPs screened by gene re-sequencing filter using the disease resistant phenotype data in 2020 and 2021. In two years’ data, 46 SNPs were repeatedly detected to be significantly related to powdery mildew resistance, and 32 candidate genes were detected in the candidate regions associated with disease resistance, of which 12 genes were predicted to be related to the disease resistance function of bottle gourd. In this study, MAGIC population was constructed in Cucurbitaceae crops for the first time, and the powdery mildew resistance gene was mapped through GWAS analysis, which laid a foundation for cloning powdery mildew resistance related genes of bottle gourd, and also had important significance for in-depth understanding of powdery mildew resistance mechanism and assisting in breeding resistant varieties.

Key words: powdery mildew of bottle gourd, MAGIC group, genome wide association analysis, candidate gene
