Article Abstract

Soybean is a crucial crop for the Brazilian economy, but it faces challenges from the biotrophic fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, which causes Asian Soybean Rust (ASR). In this study, we aimed to identify SNPs associated with resistance within the Rpp1 locus, which is effective against Brazilian ASR populations. We employed GWAS and re-sequencing analyzes to pinpoint SNP markers capable of differentiating between soybean accessions harboring the Rpp1, Rpp1-b and other alternative alleles in the Rpp1 locus and from susceptible soybean cultivars. Seven SNP markers were found to be associated with ASR resistance through GWAS, with three of them defining haplotypes that efficiently distinguished the accessions based on their ASR resistance and source of the Rpp gene. These haplotypes were subsequently validated using a bi-parental population and a diverse set of Rpp sources, demonstrating that the GWAS markers co-segregate with ASR resistance. We then examined the presence of these haplotypes in a diverse set of soybean genomes worldwide, finding a few new potential sources of Rpp1/Rpp1-b. Further genomic sequence analysis revealed nucleotide differences within the genes present in the Rpp1 locus, including the ULP1-NBS-LRR genes, which are potential R gene candidates. These results provide valuable insights into ASR resistance in soybean, thus helping the development of resistant soybean varieties through genetic breeding programs.

Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by , is one of the most serious soybean () diseases in tropical and subtropical regions. To facilitate the development of resistant varieties using gene pyramiding, DNA markers closely linked to seven resistance genes, namely, , , , , , , and , were identified. Linkage analysis of resistance-related traits and marker genotypes using 13 segregating populations of ASR resistance, including eight previously published by our group and five newly developed populations, identified the resistance loci with markers at intervals of less than 2.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the investigation and mapping of resistance to Asian soybean rust (ASR) in the soybean line PI 594756, comparing it to the susceptible line PI 594891.
  • Using Bulked Segregant Analysis (BSA) and a panel of isolates, researchers identified resistance traits, classifying PI 594756 as having monogenic dominant resistance, although it showed incomplete dominance when quantified.
  • Genetic mapping placed the resistance gene on chromosome 18, pinpointing it between specific base pair positions, and a haplotype analysis revealed unique SNPs that can aid in marker-assisted selection (MAS) for future breeding.

The soybean Rpp1 locus confers resistance to Phakopsora pachyrhizi, causal agent of rust, and resistance is usually dominant over susceptibility. However, dominance of Rpp1-mediated resistance is lost when a resistant genotype (Rpp1 or Rpp1b) is crossed with susceptible line TMG06_0011, and the mechanism of this dominant susceptibility (DS) is unknown. Sequencing the Rpp1 region reveals that the TMG06_0011 Rpp1 locus has a single nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) gene (DS-R), whereas resistant PI 594760B (Rpp1b) is similar to PI 200492 (Rpp1) and has three NBS-LRR resistance gene candidates.
