To date, there are no reported watermelon cultivars with resistance to PLS. Since <em>Citrullus amarus<\/em>, a relative of cultivated watermelon, has been a valuable source of many disease resistance genes, the USDA plant introduction (PI) collection of <em>C. amarus<\/em> was screened for resistance to PLS. The accessions were resequenced and data used to perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Genetic markers associated with resistance were identified on five chromosomes. Two were found in genes documented to play important roles in resistance to <em>P. syringae<\/em> in other species. The results will facilitate breeding for resistance to PLS in watermelon.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For further reading:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/37129351\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Genome-Wide Association Study of Resistance to <em>Pseudomonas syringae<\/em> in the USDA Collection of <em>Citrullus amarus<\/em><\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nBy: Gabriel Rennberger, Sandra Branham, and William Wechter<br \/>\nPublished in Plant Disease on May 2, 2023.<br \/>\nDOI: <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1094\/pdis-04-23-0795-re\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10.1094\/PDIS-04-23-0795-RE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Citrullus amarus was screened for resistance to Pseudomonas leaf spot.
