Abstract
Resistance to anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum capsici and C. acutatum, was investigated in Capsicum baccatum PBC80 and PBC1422 and C. chinense PBC932. Mature green and ripe fruit were inoculated with 13 isolates of the two Colletotrichum species PBC80 contained the broadest spectrum of resistance to both Colletotrichum species because none of the isolates were able to infect the genotype. At both fruit maturity stages, PBC1422 was infected by only Colletotrichum acutatum. PBC932 at ripe fruit stage was infected by both C. capsici and C. acutatum, except for one isolate, 158ci, that did not infect PBC932. PBC932 at the mature green fruit stage was infected by only C. acutatum. An intraspecific cross between PBC80 and PBC1422 was developed to determine inheritance of resistance to C. acutatum. Anthracnose resistance was assessed at mature green and ripe fruit stages using 0 to 9 disease severity scores. Frequency distribution of the disease scores in the F(2) and BC(1) populations suggested a single recessive gene responsible for the resistance at mature green fruit stage and a single dominant gene for the resistance at ripe fruit stage. Linkage analysis between the two genes identified in both fruit maturity stages showed the genes to be independent. Based on phenotypic data, the two newly identified genes, co4 and Co5, from PBC80 appeared to be different loci from the co1 and co2 previously identified from PBC932 and will be valuable sources of resistance to anthracnose in chili breeding programs.

Abstract
Genomic libraries enriched for microsatellites from Colletotrichum capsici, one of the major causal agents of anthracnose disease in chilli pepper (Capsicum spp.), were developed using a modified hybridization procedure. Twenty-seven robust primer pairs were designed from microsatellite flanking sequences and were characterized using 52 isolates from three countries India, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Highest gene diversity of 0.857 was observed at the CCSSR1 with up to 18 alleles among all the isolates whereas the differentiation ranged from 0.05 to 0.45. The sequence-tagged microsatellite site markers developed in this study will be useful for genetic analyses of C. capsici populations.

Abstract
Eleven isolates of Colletotrichum capsici were screened on nine chili genotypes derived from four cultivated species of Capsicum: Capsicum annuum, C. baccatum, C. chinense, and C. frutescens. Host reactions were assessed 9 days after inoculation by microinjection of spores into the pericarp of red fruit. A set of disease scales, with 0 to 9 scores, were developed for anthracnose infection of each Capsicum sp. based on percent lesion size in relation to fruit size, appearance of necrotic or water-soaked tissue, and presence of acervuli. Three pathotypes, PCc1, PCc2, and PCc3, were identified according to differential qualitative infection of fruit of C. chinense genotypes PBC932 and C04714. PCc1 was the most virulent pathotype, infecting all genotypes of C. annuum, C. chinense, and C. frutescens, whereas PCc3 was the least virulent pathotype, infecting only the genotypes C. annuum and C. frutescens. Quantitative infection occurred in all chili genotypes except for genotypes of C. baccatum, where no infection occurred, demonstrating various levels of aggressiveness of isolates within pathotypes.

Abstract
Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris) is consumed in many countries as a rich source of protein in largely vegetarian diets. Australia grows lentil as a cash crop in rotation with cereal and produces predominantly red lentils that are exported throughout the world, particularly to countries in South Asia and the Middle East. Differentiation of varieties is important when exporting products to such markets, maintaining variety purity during seed production and in the collection of end-point royalties. Lentil-specific and fluorescent sequenced tagged microsatellite markers (STMS) markers were used to construct a DNA fingerprint database for 10 Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris genotypes (Northfield, Digger, ILL7537, Nugget, Indianhead, ILL2024, ILL6788, Palouse, Nipper and Boomer) that represent major new cultivars and key breeding lines within the Australian breeding program. All 10 lentil genotypes were distinguished using the assessed STMS loci. Unique alleles were observed for several lines, including Boomer and Nipper, varieties recently released in Australia. This database will play an important role in seed typing for commercial export certification and the commercial management of cultivars.

Abstract
Cultivated chickpea germplasm collections contain a low frequency of ascochyta blight resistant accessions. This might lead to limitations on the future progress of chickpea breeding worldwide. In an effort to identify novel sources of resistance to ascochyta blight, 56 unique accessions, comprising 8 annual wild Cicer species, were evaluated under a controlled environment that was optimal for infection with an aggressive Australian isolate of Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labrousse. The majority of wild Cicer accessions were either susceptible or highly susceptible to A. rabiei 21 days after inoculation; however, 11 accessions, of which 7 were Cicer judaicum, were resistant. The most resistant accession detected in this study, ATC 46934, together with accessions ATC 46892 and ATC 46935, which were resistant in this and another study, should be targeted for use in future interspecific resistance breeding programs.

QTL analysis for ascochyta blight resistance in an intraspecific population of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). TAG. THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS.

Abstract
In both controlled environment and the field, six QTLs for ascochyta blight resistance were identified in three regions of the genome of an intraspecific population of chickpea using the IDS and AUDPC disease scoring systems. One QTL-region was detected from both environments, whereas the other two regions were detected from each environment. All the QTL-regions were significantly associated with ascochyta blight resistance using either of the disease scoring systems. The QTLs were verified by multiple interval mapping, and a two-QTL genetic model with considerable epistasis was established for both environments. The major QTLs generally showed additive gene action, as well as dominance inter-locus interaction in the multiple genetic model. All the QTLs were mapped near a RGA marker. The major QTLs were located on LG III, which was mapped with five different types of RGA markers. A CLRR-RGA marker and a STMS marker flanked QTL 6 for controlled environment resistance at 0.06 and 0.04 cM, respectively. Other STMS markers flanked QTL 1 for field resistance at a 5.6 cM interval. After validation, these flanking markers may be used in marker-assisted selection to breed for elite chickpea cultivars with durable resistance to ascochyta blight. The tight linkage of RGA markers to the major QTL on LG III will allow map-based cloning of the underlying resistance genes.

Abstract
The first intraspecific linkage map of the lentil genome was constructed with 114 molecular markers (100 RAPD, 11 ISSR and three RGA) using an F(2) population developed from a cross between lentil cultivars ILL5588 and ILL7537 which differed in resistance for ascochyta blight. Linkage analysis at a LOD score of 4.0 and a maximum recombination fraction of 0.25 revealed nine linkage groups comprising between 6 and 18 markers each. The intraspecific map spanned a total length of 784.1 cM. The markers were distributed throughout the genome, however markers were clustered in the middle or near the middle of the linkage groups, suggesting the location of centromeres. Of 114 mapped markers, 16 (14.0%) were distorted, usually at the end or middle of the linkage groups. The utility of ISSR and RGA markers for mapping in lentil was explored, and the primer with an (AC) repeat motif was found to be useful.

Abstract
SUMMARY A genome linkage map was developed for Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labrousse, (teleomorph) Didymella rabiei (Kovachevski), an important pathogen causing ascochyta blight in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The map was constructed using 96 progeny generated from a single pseudothecium produced from a cross between a USA MAT-2 isolate and an Australian MAT-1 isolate. The map comprised 126 molecular markers of which 69 were random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, 46 were amplified fragment length polymorphic (AFLP) markers, 10 were sequence-tagged microsatellite site (STMS) markers, and one was a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker. Eighteen large and 10 small linkage groups (LG) were characterized and the mating-type locus was mapped on to LGd. The map spanned 1271 cM with an average spacing between markers of 15.1 cM. The SCAR marker, specific for mating type 2, was designed to amplify a region of the MAT locus and was used to identify the mating type of A. rabiei isolates. One AFLP marker, derived from the MAT-1 parent, was closely linked to the mating-type locus (9.6 cM). The linkage map provides a framework for the future identification of the locations of other important traits such as virulence/avirulence and fungicide resistance. Findings from this study suggest that the MAT-2 isolates of D. rabiei should be renamed to MAT-1 isolates because the alpha-box, specific for MAT-1 from other ascomycetes, was amplified from A. rabiei MAT-2 isolates.

Preliminary investigation of QTLs associated with seedling resistance to ascochyta blight from Cicer echinospermum, a wild relative of chickpea. TAG. THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS.

Abstract
Accessions from Cicer echinospermum, a wild relative of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), contain resistance to the fungal disease ascochyta blight, a devastating disease of chickpea. A linkage map was constructed based on an interspecific F(2) population, derived from a cross between a susceptible chickpea cultivar (Lasseter) and a resistant C. echinospermum accession (PI 527930). The linkage map incorporated 83 molecular markers, that included RAPD, ISSR, STMS and RGA markers; eight markers remained unlinked. The map comprised eight linkage groups and covered a map distance of 570 cM. Six out of the eight linkage groups were correlated to linkage groups from the integrated Cicer map using STMS markers. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with ascochyta blight resistance were detected using interval mapping and single-point analysis. The F(2) population was evaluated for seedling and stem resistance in glasshouse trials. At least two QTLs were identified for seedling resistance, both of which were located within linkage group 4. Five markers were associated with stem resistance, four of which were also associated with seedling resistance. QTLs from previous studies also mapped to LG 4, suggesting that this linkage group is an important region of the Cicer genome for resistance to ascochyta blight.

Abstract
An intraspecific linkage map of the chickpea genome based on STMS as anchor markers, was established using an F(2) population of chickpea cultivars with contrasting disease reactions to Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. At a LOD-score of 2.0 and a maximum recombination distance of 20 cM, 51 out of 54 chickpea-STMS markers (94.4%), three ISSR markers (100%) and 12 RGA markers (57.1%) were mapped into eight linkage groups. The chickpea-derived STMS markers were distributed throughout the genome, while the RGA markers clustered with the ISSR markers on linkage groups LG I, II and III. The intraspecific linkage map spanned 534.5 cM with an average interval of 8.1 cM between markers. Sixteen markers (19.5%) were unlinked, while l1 chickpea-STMS markers (20.4%) deviated significantly ( P < 0.05) from the expected Mendelian segregation ratio and segregated in favor of the maternal alleles. However, ten of the distorted chickpea-STMS markers were mapped and clustered mostly on LG VII, suggesting the association of these loci in the preferential transmission of the maternal germ line. Preliminary comparative mapping revealed that chickpea may have evolved from Cicer reticulatum, possibly via inversion of DNA sequences and minor chromosomal translocation. At least three linkage groups that spanned a total of approximately 79.2 cM were conserved in the speciation process.

Abstract
An aberrant random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker in genomic DNA of tissue culture plantlets was frequently observed during a comparison of DNA fingerprints derived from potato germplasm grown in tissue culture and the field. The RAPD marker was cloned, sequenced and determined to be of bacterial origin. A bacterial contaminant was isolated from the tissue culture plants and identified as a Bacillus pumilus. A set of sequence characterised amplified region (SCAR) primers were designed from the sequence of the cloned fragment and tested for the specific detection of B. pumilus. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLPs) were also used to generate B. pumilus profiles specific to our isolate in order to test and confirm the sequence homology of amplified markers generated from a range of DNA samples isolated from tissue culture plants and pure isolates of B. pumilus-like bacteria.
