Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Andean common bean landrace G19833 (Chaucha Chuga) was recently used to obtain the first reference genome of Phaseolus vulgaris (Schmutz et al, 2014). A large quantity of sequence information is available for this landrace which includes BAC libraries, cDNA libraries, SNP databases, gene expression profiles from various tissues (RNAseq), etc. Additionally, G19833 has been used to generate RIL populations for mapping traits such as phosphorous acquisition, agronomic performance, and disease resistance. G19833 has also been reported as resistant to the anthracnose, angular leaf spot, and Ascochyta blight pathogens and susceptible to the bean golden mosaic and bean common mosaic, viruses (Reviewed by Broughton et al, 2003). However, little is known about the reaction of G19833 to the bean rust pathogen. We report here the reaction of G19833 to a set of 13 races of the rust pathogen, 10 Mesoamerican and three Andean. Together, these races overcome all known rust resistance genes in common bean. Rust resistance in the under-utilized Andean beans lags behind that of Mesoamerican beans. The objective of this study was to determine the spectrum of resistance of Andean G19833 to 13 different virulent races of the bean rust pathogen.
