Validation of molecular marker associated with powdery mildew resistance in mungbean
Main Article Content
Abstract
Powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe polygoni, is one of the major diseases of mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek), causes yield loss up to 20-40%. The present investigation was undertaken to study the SSR markers associated with powdery mildew resistance in mungbean. The resistant line, TARM1 was crossed with highly susceptible, but popular variety DGGV2 and the F1s were selfed to obtain F2. F2 population was evaluated for response to powdery mildew under field conditions. Of the 64 SSR markers studied, only four were found polymorphic between two parents (TARM1 and DGGV2). Single marker analysis indicated that one SSR marker (MB-SSR238) showed association with powdery mildew resistance in mungbean, explaining the phenotypic variance of 11.64%.
