Abstract
Yellow Mosaic disease (YMD) is one of the most destructive diseases of blackgram (Vigna mungo) causing heavy yield losses every year. Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV) is one of the YMD causing begomoviruses prevalent in the major blackgram growing area (northern and central part) of India. Inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene was studied in blackgram using F1, F2 and F2:3 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant)× AKU 9904 (susceptible). The results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the MYMIV resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31. The F2 population from the same cross was also used to tag and map the MYMIV resistance gene using SSR markers. Out of 361 markers, 31 were found polymorphic between the parents. However, marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with resistance gene following the bulked segregant analysis. This marker was mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals at a map distance of 12.9 cm. The validation of this marker in nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes has suggested its use in marker assisted breeding for developing MYMIV resistant genotypes in blackgram.

Introduction
Yellow Mosaic Disease (YMD) inflicts heavy yield losses in five economically important food legumes including blackgram (Vigna mungo), soybean (Glycine max), mungbean (Vigna radiata), frenchbean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia). Blackgram, which is mainly cultivated in India, Myanmar, Thialand, Phillipines and Pakistan, is highly prone to YMD. The disease is caused by representative species of the genus Begomovirus. Based on several studies, it has been confirmed that at least two virus species causing YMD are prevalent in Indian sub-continent. One of these species, mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) is commonly occurring in northern part of Indian sub-continent while Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) is mostly confined to peninsular region of India (Varma and Malathi 2003; Malathi and John 2008). These two virus species can easily be distinguished on the basis of nucleotide sequence identity (Fauquet et al. 2003). The losses due to MYMIV strain have been observed from 60 to 100 % in Northern India. Since the virus transmission is attributed by the vector-whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), control of MYMIV based upon limiting the vector population by using insecticides is ineffective under severe whitefly infestations. Further, this is also not an eco-friendly approach. The most effective way to prevent the occurrence of this disease is to develop genetically resistant cultivars of blackgram.
There are conflicting reports about the genetics of resistance to YMD, claiming both resistance and susceptibility to be dominant. In blackgram, monogenic dominant nature of resistance was reported by Dahiya et al. (1977), Kaushal and Singh (1988) and Gupta et al. (2005) while it was reported to be digenic recessive by Singh (1980), Dwivedi and Singh (1985), Verma and Singh (1986). Monogenic recessive control of yellow mosaic resistance has also been reported (Pal et al. 1991; Reddy and Singh 1995). Nevertheless, these studies have been conducted by taking into account the yellow mosaic disease in general. However, the prevalence of two different species of virus causing YMD and sources of resistance to each of these species might have caused differing results about the genetics of resistance to the disease.
Marker assisted indirect selection of resistant genotypes using linked markers has been reported as an effective breeding approach for developing YMD resistant cultivars in blackgram. It is assuming increased importance due to lack of uniform field screening procedure as well as difficulty in direct selection due to complex interaction of virus, vector and host (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006). Basak et al. (2004) reported use of resistance gene analog (RGA) associated with yellow mosaic tolerance. However, in their study, linkage distance between marker and gene was not estimated and virus species was not specified. Similarly, a SCAR marker linked to MYMV resistance gene with a distance of 6.8 cm was also reported (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006), although in this study also the virus species has not been clearly identified. Therefore, identification of a tightly linked molecular marker with MYMIV resistance is urgently required that could be used easily by plant breeders in blackgram breeding program. In recent years, SSR markers have proved to be most powerful tool for marker assisted breeding in many crops as they are highly polymorphic, reproducible and easy to use for screening large segregating populations. Previously, development of SSR markers has been reported in several Vigna species and other pulse crops (for review see Kumar et al. 2011a, b). The studies on disease resistance genes have shown a high level of polymorphism due to the presence of SSR at certain loci (Yu et al. 1996). Therefore, aim of the present investigation was to study inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene, tagging and mapping of the resistance loci and validation of linked marker among diverse genotypes of blackgram.
Materials and methods
Plant materials
The hybridization between DPU 88-31 and AKU 9904 genotypes of blackgram (V. mungo) was carried out at Main Research Farm of Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur and the hybrid seeds of the cross DPU 88-31× AKU 9904 were harvested during 2009. Genotype DPU 88-31 was used as a resistant parent to MYMIV in this investigation, which is an advanced breeding line developed from the cross PLU 131× T9 at IIPR, Kanpur while genotype AKU 9904, also a breeding line, was used as susceptible parent. 19 F1s of this cross were sown in the year 2010 in the field with the two parents sown alongwith as checks for distinguishing the true hybrids from false ones. Hybridity of F1s was confirmed through molecular marker analysis. Six true F1 plants of above cross were then harvested individually to produce their respective F2 populations. The F2 populations were sown in the field, and the F3 plants were harvested individually in 2011. These, F2:3 families were raised in the field to confirm the segregation ratio observed in F2.
One F2 population from the DPU 88-31× AKU 9904 cross was chosen randomly to tag the MYMIV resistant gene(s) of DPU 88-31. This population had 168 individuals. At the seedling stage, when the second trifoliate leaf unrolled, the young leaves were collected from individual plants of DPU 88-31, AKU 9904, F1 and F2 population, and preserved in the refrigerator at –70 °C.
Evaluation for MYMIV reaction
For evaluation of the test material against MYMIV, the infector row method of sowing two test rows alternating with spreader rows of highly susceptible variety ‘Barabanki Local’ was adopted at test location which is the hot spot for the disease (Singh and Gurha, 1994). The F1, F2 and F2:3 were scored for disease incidence after 80 % of the plants in spreader rows showed MYMIV incidence. As evidenced by the disease data over the years, Kanpur is a hot spot for MYMIV and during the test years as well more than 80 % MYMIV incidence was recorded in most susceptible check ‘Barabanki Local’. For evaluation of parental genotypes, the MYMIV reaction was observed on the basis of agro-inoculation test as suggested by Mandal et al. (1997) with a few modifications (Jacob et al. 2003). Accordingly, non-viruliferous adult white flies were given acquisition feeding for 24 h on infected leaves and transferred to the healthy test plants for inoculation feeding. For confirmation of virus species on the basis of sequence identity, MYMIV and MYMV specific primers (Naimuddin et al. 2011) were synthesized by ILS, India and used for viral DNA amplification.
MYMIV reaction data were recorded on parents, F1, each individual plant of F2 population and F2:3 families and accordingly, those were classified as: healthy (no symptoms), necrotic (necrotic mottle, N)] and susceptible (typical yellow mosaic symptoms, S). Both healthy and necrotic plants were grouped together as resistant (R) plants as suggested by Biswas and Varma (2001).
DNA extraction
Total genomic DNA was isolated from parental lines, F1 and individual F2 plants following Doyle and Doyle (1987) with slight modifications. The quality of extracted DNA was checked by comparing with λ DNA while quantity was determined using spectrophotometer. The working DNA sample was diluted to a standard concentration of 20 ng/μl. For isolation of viral total DNA from infected leaf samples, a Qiagen DNeasy Plant Mini Kit was used.
Simple sequence repeats analysis
Total 361 SSR markers were used in the present study which were derived from previous reports in other legume species viz., adzuki bean (Wang et al. 2004), mungbean (Somta et al. 2009; Kumar et al. 2002a; Kumar et al. 2002b), cowpea (Li et al. 2001), common bean (Gaitan-Solis et al. 2002; Blair et al. 2003), chickpea (Buhariwalla et al. 2005) and pigeonpea (Datta et al. 2010). These primer sequences were synthesized by IDT, USA and used to genotype the parental lines. Polymerase Chain Reaction was carried out in 20 μl reaction mixture containing 1× PCR buffer (Fermantas, USA), 50 ng genomic DNA, 0.6 U of Taq DNA polymerase (Fermantas, USA), 0.2 mM dNTP mix (Fermantas, USA) and 0.2 μM each of forward and reverse primers (IDT, USA and ILS, India) in a thermocycler (G-Storm, UK). The PCR profile was programmed for an initial denaturation of 94 °C for 3 min followed by 35 cycles of 94 °C for 1 min, annealing for 1 min, 72 °C for 2 min and final extension at 72 °C for 7 min. The amplification products were resolved on 10 % PAGE following silver staining. Polymorphic markers were distinguished on the basis of differences in allele size or presence/absence of marker allele visible on the gel. The sequence of reverse and forward primers of polymorphic SSR markers is given in Table 1.
Preparation of DNA bulks for bulked segregant analysis (BSA)
For BSA, two bulks, one each from highly resistant and susceptible plants identified in F2 population were prepared as described by Michelmore et al. (1991). For each bulk, equal quantity of DNA (25 ng/μl) was taken from 12 individual plants and pooled together. The polymorphic markers identified between the parents were used to genotype the parental genotypes along with resistant and susceptible bulks. On the basis of amplification of an allele, either in resistant bulk and resistant parent or susceptible bulk and susceptible parent, the association of marker with genes controlling the target trait was established. The marker showing association with target gene through BSA was used to genotype individual F2 plants and genotypic data were recorded on each individual plant as homozygous for parental alleles and heterozygous at marker locus.
Segregation analysis
The phenotypic data of disease reaction and genotypic data of concerned marker, which were recorded on individual F2 plants and F2:3 families were used to classify the segregating population into distinct classes and analyzed with the help of Chi square (χ2) test for a fixed ratio hypothesis (Gomez and Gomez 1984). The hypothesis was tested at 5 % level of significance. Homogeneity among F2 populations and among F2:3 families was evaluated using contingency test.
Linkage analysis and validation of linked marker
Linkage between the marker and the target gene was declared when χ2 value was significantly higher than the table value. The product ratio (z) method was used to determine the per cent recombination between resistance gene and the linked marker locus. The ‘z’ value was calculated using the formula taking into account that marker and gene are associated in coupling phase (Stevens 1939). The per cent recombination between two loci was determined from the table of recombination fraction given by Stevens (1939) against calculated ‘z’ value. This recombination frequency was then converted into linkage distance as 1 % recombination equal to 1 cm. The marker linked with MYMIV resistance was also used for its validation into survey the other nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes of blackgram. The genotypes used for validation are listed in Table 4.
Results
Confirmation of MYMIV species
In order to confirm the species of the virus causing yellow mosaic disease under local conditions, MYMIV-specific primer pairs were used. These primers amplified the desired size of amplicons (i.e. approximately 1,000 bp for DNA-A and 900 bp for DNA-B) in the disease infected leaves of the susceptible parent, which was used as infector in present investigation. Based on these results, it was confirmed that the present study was carried out for Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV) and not for MYMV.
Inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene
Inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene was studied in six individual F2 populations derived from the cross DPU88-31 (resistant)× AKU9904 (susceptible). Each of the six F2 populations exhibited segregation for resistance gene, and all segregation ratios of resistant to susceptible fitted a 3:1 ratio under Chi square test. Table 2 shows that homogeneity Chi square test among the six F2 populations further demonstrated the segregation ratio as being homogeneously 3:1. Further the pooled population of the six F2 populations with a total of 640 resistant and 199 susceptible plants also fitted a 3:1 segregation ratio. The frequency of resistant and susceptible plants did not deviate significantly from 3:1 ratio suggesting that single dominant gene is controlling resistance to MYMIV in blackgram.
One F2 population from the DPU 88-31× AKU 9904 cross (population no. 4) was chosen randomly to develop F2:3 families to confirm the observed F2 segregation ratio for MYMIV resistant gene(s) of DPU 88-31. This population had 168 individuals. The seeds of all individual plants were sown in separate rows. Each row was observed for segregation for resistant and susceptible types for MYMIV. The segregation ratio of the number of non-segregating resistant lines: number of 3:1 segregation of F2:3 lines: number of susceptible lines fitted a 1:2:1 ratio (χ2 = 0.540, P = 0.706) as expected.
Tagging of MYMIV resistant gene for DPU 88-31
The polymorphism between resistant line DPU 88-31 and susceptible line AKU 9904 was analyzed with 361 pairs of SSR primers. Among them, 31 SSR markers were found to be polymorphic between the above-mentioned parental genotypes. These 31 pairs of SSR primers were further used to test the polymorphism between the susceptible bulk (S bulk) and resistant bulk (R bulk). Among these, only the marker CEDG180 amplified an allele of 136 bp in the resistant parent and R bulk while in susceptible parent and S bulk, the allele size was 163 bp. The amplification of resistant parental allele in R bulk and susceptible parental allele in S bulk indicated that this marker is associated with the gene controlling MYMIV resistance in blackgram.
Mapping of linked marker and its validation
The SSR marker associated with MYMIV resistance gene was used to genotype each individual of the F2 population (Fig. 1). Genotyping data were employed to classify this population as homozygote for alleles of resistant parents, heterozygote and homozygote for alleles of susceptible parents at the marker locus. In F2, though the marker and the target trait segregated separately in 1:2:1 and 3:1 ratio, as expected the two loci did not segregate independently (P < 0.05), and frequency of parental types (148 out of 168) was observed to be higher than the recombinants. These results further indicated association of CEDG180 marker with the gene controlling MYMIV resistance in blackgram. Based on product ratio method, the calculated ‘z’ value (0.028) corresponded with recombination fraction table given by Stevens (1939) that indicated a map distance of 12.9 cm between the marker CEDG180 and MYMIV resistance gene in coupling phase of linkage (Table 3).
This marker (CEDG180) was also used to survey 9 resistant and 7 susceptible genotypes screened earlier for MYMIV disease reaction. It was able to distinguish the resistant genotypes with 136 bp allele and the susceptible genotypes with 163 bp allele (Fig. 2; Table 4). However two genotypes of susceptible category did not show the susceptible allele. The susceptible genotype LGB 20 was observed to be heterozygote, while another genotype T9, was homozygote for the alleles of resistant parent at marker locus. The heterozygosity at marker locus was further confirmed in one of the genotypes, LBG20 by analysing the individual seeds using the marker CEDG 180.
Discussion
Marker assisted selection for those traits which are difficult to screen phenotypically has become an important tool for breeding programs. Molecular markers are now widely used to track loci and genome regions in many important crops including legume crops and several improved varieties have been developed using molecular markers in recent times (Kumar et al. 2011a, b). Screening for MYMIV resistance in blackgram is also difficult owing to practical difficulties in creation of artificial epiphytotic conditions and dependency of MYMIV occurrence on several factors such as vector population, climatic conditions, etc. The aim of present investigation was to tag and map genes controlling MYMIV resistance in blackgram. For this purpose, we used a resistant donor DPU88-31, which was earlier identified to be a resistance source against the MYMV species (Gupta et al. 2005). However, subsequent studies based on sequence similarity analysis confirmed that this resistance was against MYMIV species. This virus species is prevalent in northern, central and eastern regions of India, while MYMV species is common in southern states of India (Fauquet et al. 2003; Haq et al. 2011). Since the confirmatory studies as well the present investigation were conducted under local conditions which is a hotspot for MYMIV, it was established that DPU 88-31 is a resistant donor for MYMIV and nor for MYMV species. Using the disease reaction data of individual F2 plants, the inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene was also studied. Our results showed that a single dominant gene controls the inheritance of MYMIV resistance in blackgram which confirms the results of Gupta et al. (2005). However, this is contradictory to other study which reported that resistance to MYMIV is controlled by monogenic recessive gene (Basak et al. 2004).
For tagging and mapping of resistance gene in the present study, a F2 mapping population was developed by crossing between the resistant and susceptible parents and subsequently screening the population with a number of SSR markers. Several studies have suggested that SSR markers are among the most useful markers for marker assisted breeding because these are highly polymorphic, reproducible and their easy handling makes it possible to screen large segregating populations over a limited period of time. The DNA of parental genotypes was surveyed and 8.6 % polymorphism was observed, which was low as compared to overall polymorphism reported in diverse genotypes of blackgram in an earlier study (Gupta et al. 2013). This low level of polymorphism is common in pulse crops due to narrow genetic base (Kumar et al. 2011a, b).
Bulked segregant analysis is an important method to tag a gene without the need of preparing a linkage map and hence it reduces the cost, time and labour required for genotyping of all the plants in a mapping population with large number of polymorphic markers. Therefore, its use becomes more important in those conditions where insufficient polymorphic markers exist for mapping (Shoba et al. 2012). The difficulty of genotyping all the plants in mapping population can be reduced through selective genotyping through BSA. BSA involves selection of extremely resistant and susceptible lines and pooling their DNA into two bulks viz., resistant and susceptible bulks (Michelmore et al. 1991). In this study we used BSA technique to identify SSR marker(s) associated with MYMIV resistance in cultivated blackgram. Among the 31 polymorphic SSR markers, only one marker, CEDG180, was able to distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks. Genotyping of all 168 F2 individuals of the cross DPU88-31× AKU9904 resulted in association of this marker with MYMIV resistance gene at a distance of 12.9 cm. In several such studies conducted earlier, molecular markers have been used to tag virus resistance in many legumes like soybean (Jeong and SaghaiMaroof 2004), common bean (Urrea 1996), pea (Gao et al. 2004) and peanut (Shoba et al. 2012). In blackgram, Basak et al. (2004) reported linkage of a RGA marker of 445 bp with YMV resistance. However in our study this marker did not show polymorphism in the parental lines. Nevertheless, this study had not specified the virus species and estimation of linkage was not performed. Similarly, without specifying the virus species, resistance gene for yellow mosaic disease was identified to be linked with a SCAR marker at a map distance of 6.8 cm (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006). The resistant parent TU94-2 used in this study was bred in southern part of India and was screened under south Indian conditions only where MYMV virus is prevalent (Fauquet et al. 2003, Haq et al. 2011). Hence based on these observations, probably Souframanien and Gopalakrishna (2006) had mapped the resistance gene to MYMV rather than MYMIV (prevalent virus species in northern India). In another study, a RGA marker namely CYR1 was shown to be completely linked to the MYMIV resistance gene when validated in susceptible (T9) and resistant (AKU9904) genotypes (Maiti et al. 2011). However, the genotype AKU9904 showed consistently highly susceptible reaction to MYMIV at Kanpur over the years (Gupta et al. 2008; Anjum Tuba et al. 2010) and therefore was used as a highly susceptible parent in our mapping population. Therefore, the marker CYR1 was not used for mapping the MYMIV resistant gene in present study.
Molecular marker identified in the present study has been validated in nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes (Table 3). Among the two susceptible genotypes showing heterozygosity at marker locus, the DNA profile study of individual seeds of LBG 20 suggested that the seed lot was genetically impure and could be an admixture with seeds of another genotype having the resistant allele. The identified marker with resistant gene is not very close to the resistance locus and hence showed discrepancy in T 9 cultivar. Since the marker CEDG 180 linked to the gene controlling MYMIV resistance validated in majority of test genotypes, this can be effectively utilized for developing the MYMIV resistant genotypes through marker assisted selection. Such cultivars will be of immense use for cultivation in the northern and central part of India, which is the major blackgram growing area of the country.
