Abstract
Microsatellite markers are widely used in population genetics and breeding. Despite the economic significance of yams in developing countries, there is a paucity of microsatellite markers, and as of now, no comprehensive microsatellite marker database exists. In this study, we conducted genome-wide microsatellite marker development across four yam species, identified cross-species transferable markers, and designed an easy-to-use web portal for the yam researchers. The screening of Dioscorea alata, Dioscorea rotundata, Dioscorea dumetorum, and Dioscorea zingiberensis genomes resulted in 318,713, 322,501, 307,040, and 253,856 microsatellites, respectively. Mono-, di-, and tri-nucleotides were the most important types of repeats in the different species, and a total of 864,128 primer pairs were designed. Furthermore, we identified 1170 cross-species transferable microsatellite markers. Among them, 17 out of 18 randomly selected were experimentally validated with good discriminatory power, regardless of the species and ploidy levels. Ultimately, we created and deployed a dynamic Yam Microsatellite Markers Database (Y2MD) available at https://y2md.ucad.sn/. Y2MD is embedded with various useful tools such as JBrowse, Blast, insilicoPCR, and SSR Finder to facilitate the exploitation of microsatellite markers in yams. This study represents the first comprehensive microsatellite marker mining across several yam species and will contribute to advancing yam genetic research and marker-assisted breeding. The released user-friendly database constitutes a valuable platform for yam researchers.

Abstract
This is the first identification of QTLs underlying resistance in Cucumis melo to an isolate of Pseudoperonospora cubensis identified as Clade 2/mating type A1. Pseudoperonospora cubensis, causal organism of cucurbit downy mildew (CDM), causes severe necrosis and defoliation on Cucumis melo (melon). A recombinant inbred line population (N = 169) was screened against an isolate of P. cubensis (Clade 2/mating type A1) in replicated greenhouse and growth chamber experiments. SNPs (n = 5633 bins) identified in the RIL population were used for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping. A single major QTL on chromosome 10 (qPcub-10.3-10.4) was consistently associated with resistance across all experiments, while a second major QTL on chromosome 8 (qPcub-8.3) was identified only in greenhouse experiments. These two major QTLs were identified on the same chromosomes (8 and 10) but in different locations as two major QTLs (qPcub-8.2 and qPcub-10.1) previously identified for resistance to P. cubensis Clade 1/mating type A2. Kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers were developed for these four major QTLs and validated in the RIL population through QTL mapping. These markers will provide melon breeders a high-throughput genotyping toolkit for development of melon cultivars with broad tolerance to CDM.

Abstract
Peronospora tabacina is an obligate parasite that causes blue mold of tobacco. The pathogen reproduces primarily by sporangia, whereas the sexual oospores are rarely observed. A collection of 122 isolates of P. tabacina was genotyped using nine microsatellites to assess the population structure of individuals from subpopulations collected from central, southern, and western Europe; the Middle East; Central America; North America; and Australia. Genetic variations among the six subpopulations accounted for ∼8% of the total variation, including moderate levels of genetic differentiation, high gene flow among these subpopulations, and a positive correlation between geographic and genetic distance (r = 0.225; P < 0.001). Evidence of linkage disequilibrium (P < 0.001) showed that populations contained partially clonal subpopulations but that subpopulations from Australia and Mediterranean Europe did not. High genetic variation and population structure among samples could be explained by continuous gene flow across continents via infected transplant exchange and/or long-distance dispersal of sporangia via wind currents. This study analyzed the most numerous P. tabacina collection and allowed conclusions regarding the migration, mutation, and evolutionary history of this obligate biotrophic oomycete. The evidence pointed to the species origin in Australia and identified intracontinental and intercontinental migration patterns of this important pathogen.[Formula: see text] Copyright © 2022 The Author(s).
