Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 22Development of a Snp-Based Caps Assay for the Me1 Gene Conferring Resistance To Root Knot Nematode in Pepper(Springer Verlag, 2015) Uncu, Ali Tevfik; Çelik, İbrahim; Devran, Zübeyir; Frary, Anne; Frary, Amy; Doğanlar, SamiRoot knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are significant agricultural pests on many crops, including pepper (Capsicum annuum). Host plant resistance offers the most sustainable means of controlling this pest. A cluster of genes on chromosome 9 confers resistance, with Me1 providing protection against three nematode species: M. incognita, M. javanica and M. arenaria. We describe the development of a codominant CAPS marker located 1.13 cM away from the Me1 gene. This marker should be useful for marker assisted selection of nematode resistance in pepper breeding programs.
