Abstract
Anthracnose (ANT) and angular leaf spot (ALS) caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and Pseudocercospora griseola, respectively, are devastating diseases of common bean around the world. Therefore, breeders are constantly searching for new genes with broad-spectrum resistance against ANT and ALS. This study aimed to characterize the genetic resistance of California Dark Red Kidney (CDRK) to C. lindemuthianum races 73, 2047, and 3481 and P. griseola race 63-39 through inheritance, allelism testing, and molecular analyses. Genetic analysis of response to ANT and ALS in recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from a CDRK × Yolano cross (CY) showed that the resistance of CDRK cultivar is conferred by a single dominant loci, which we named CoPv01CDRK/PhgPv01CDRK. Allelism tests performed with race 3481showed that the resistance gene in CDRK is independent of the Co-1 and Co-AC. We conducted co-segregation analysis in genotypes of 110 CY RILs and phenotypes of the RILs in response to different races of the ANT and ALS pathogens. The results revealed that CoPv01CDRK and PhgPv01CDRK are coinherited, conferring resistance to all races. Genetic mapping of the CY population placed the CoPv01CDRK/PhgPv01CDRK loci in a 245 Kb genomic region at the end of Pv01. By genotyping 19 RILs from the CY population using three additional markers, we fine-mapped the CoPv01CDRK/PhgPv01CDRK loci to a smaller genomic region of 33 Kb. This 33 Kb region harbors five predicted genes based on the common bean reference genome. These results can be applied in breeding programs to develop bean cultivars with ANT and ALS resistance using marker-assisted selection.

Abstract
The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is a multihost pathogen that affects perennial crops such as grapevine, sweet orange, and olive tree worldwide. It is inherently difficult to study these pathosystems owing to the long-term growth habit of the host plant. Thus, the availability of model plants becomes essential to accelerate discoveries with economic impact. In this study, we uncovered evidence that the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana can be colonized by two different X. fastidiosa subspecies, pauca and fastidiosa. We observed that these bacteria are able to move away from the inoculation point as high bacterial populations were found in distant tissues. In addition, confocal laser scanning microscopy analysis of bacterial movement inside the petiole revealed the ability of the bacterium to move against the net xylem flow during the time course of colonization forming biofilm. These findings provide evidence for the capacity of X. fastidiosa to colonize Arabidopsis. Furthermore, leaves inoculated with X. fastidiosa showed a significant accumulation of anthocyanin. We propose that the X. fastidiosa subsp. pauca or fastidiosa colonization pattern and anthocyanin accumulation in the Arabidopsis ecotype Col-0 can be used as marker phenotypes to facilitate further studies aimed at improving genetic components involved in X. fastidiosa-host interaction.

Abstract
The phyllosphere, i.e., the aerial parts of the plant, provides one of the most important niches for microbial colonization. This niche supports the survival and, often, proliferation of microbes such as fungi and bacteria with diverse lifestyles including epiphytes, saprophytes, and pathogens. Although most microbes may complete the life cycle on the leaf surface, pathogens must enter the leaf and multiply aggressively in the leaf interior. Natural surface openings, such as stomata, are important entry sites for bacteria. Stomata are known for their vital role in water transpiration and gas exchange between the plant and the environment that is essential for plant growth. Recent studies have shown that stomata can also play an active role in limiting bacterial invasion of both human and plant pathogenic bacteria as part of the plant innate immune system. As counter-defense, plant pathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato (Pst) DC3000 use the virulence factor coronatine to suppress stomate-based defense. A novel and crucial early battleground in host-pathogen interaction in the phyllosphere has been discovered with broad implications in the study of bacterial pathogenesis, host immunity, and molecular ecology of bacterial diseases.

Abstract
The broadest based resistance to anthracnose of common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is conferred by the Co-4 locus. We sequenced a bacterial artificial chromosome clone harboring part of the Co-4 locus of the bean genotype Sprite and assembled a single contig of 106.5 kb for functional annotation. This region contained five copies of the COK-4 gene that encodes for a serine threonine kinase protein previously mapped to the Co-4 locus and 19 novel genes with no similarity to any previously identified genes of common bean. Several putative genes of the Co-4 locus seemed to be expressed as they matched perfectly with bean expressed sequence tags. The expression of the COK-4 genes was assessed by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, and a single 850-bp cDNA fragment was sequenced and compared with the genomic sequences of the COK-4 homologs. Although the COK-4 cDNA was isolated from a different bean cultivar, it showed high similarity (95%) to the exons of genes BA17 and BA21, suggesting that they were expressed. In a phylogenetic tree including all currently available Pto-like sequences from Phaseolus species, the COK-4 homologs formed a single cluster with the Pto gene, whereas two sequences from P. coccineus and all sequences of P. vulgaris formed two closely related clusters. The Co-4 locus was physically mapped to the short arm of bean chromosome 3, which corresponds to linkage group B8. This study represents a first step in gaining an understanding of the genomic organization of an anthracnose resistance locus of common bean and provides molecular data for comparative analysis with other plant species.

Abstract
Two 24-mer SCAR primers (SW13) were developed from a previously identified 10-mer RAPD primer (OW13(690)) linked to the I gene, which conditions resistance to bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) in common bean. Linkage between SW13 and the I gene was tested in three F2 populations segregating for both SW13 and the I gene: N84004/Michelite (1.0 +/- 0.7 cM), Seafarer/UI-114 (1.3 +/- 0.8 cM), and G91201/Alpine (5.0 +/- 2.2 cM). SW13 proved to be more specific and reproducible than the OW13(690) RAPD marker. Using different heat-stable DNA polymerases, SW13 amplified a single 690-bp fragment linked to the I gene that more consistently permitted the identification of resistant plants. In addition, the presence of the I gene was detected using SW13 in genotypes originating from different gene pools of Phaseolus vulgaris L., indicating a broad utility of this marker for bean breeding programs.
