Résumé
GWAS identified 19 QTLs for resistance to Sclerotinia minor, 11 of them co-locating with red leaf color. Lower disease incidence was observed in red and dark red accessions. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), one of the most economically important vegetables grown primarily in moderate climates around the world, is susceptible to many diseases including lettuce drop caused by the soilborne fungus Sclerotinia minor. Complete resistance to S. minor has not been identified in cultivated lettuce or its wild relatives. We conducted five experiments over 4 years with the diversity panel of almost 500 lettuce accessions to evaluate their response to the pathogen in an artificially infested field. The lowest disease incidence (DI) was observed in cultivars Eruption, Infantry, and Annapolis (median DI of 12.1-17.5%), while the highest DI was recorded for cultivars Reine des Glaces, Wayahead, and line FL. 43007 (median DI of 81.0-95.2%). Overall, significantly lower DI was observed in red and dark red accessions compared to those with a lower anthocyanin content. Genome-wide association mapping identified 19 QTLs for resistance to S. minor, 21 for the presence of red leaf color or its variations caused by the anthocyanin content, and one for the green color intensity. Eleven of the QTLs for disease resistance were located within 10 Mb of the loci associated with red color or anthocyanin content identified in this diversity panel. The frequent, non-random co-location of QTLs, together with the lower DI observed in red and dark red accessions suggests that lettuce interaction with S. minor may be partly influenced by anthocyanins. We have identified RLL2 and ANS, the genes of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway that co-locate with resistance QTLs, as candidates for functional studies to ascertain the involvement of anthocyanins in lettuce resistance against S. minor. Resistance QTLs closely linked with QTLs for anthocyanin content could be used to develop lettuce with a relatively high partial resistance and red color, while those not associated with anthocyanins could be used to develop partially resistant cultivars of green color.
