Genes, Vol. 13, Pages 2297: Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) of White Mold Resistance in Snap Bean Genes doi: 10.3390/genes13122297 Authors: Haidar A. Arkwazee Lyle T. Wallace John P. Hart Phillip D. Griffiths James R. Myers White mold can result in snap bean yield losses of 90 to 100% when field conditions favor the pathogen. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to detect loci significantly associated with white mold resistance in a panel of snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars. Two populations of snap bean were used in this study. The first population was the BeanCAP (Coordinated Agriculture Project) Snap Bean Diversity Panel (SBDP) (n = 136), and the second population was the Snap Bean Association Panel (SnAP) (n = 378). SBDP was evaluated for white mold reaction in the field in 2012 and 2013, and SnAP was screened in a greenhouse only using the seedling straw test in 2016. Two reference genomes representing the Andean and Middle American centers of domestication were utilized to align the genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) data. A GWAS was performed using FarmCPU with one principal component after comparing five models. Thirty-four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with white mold resistance were detected. Eleven significant SNPs were identified by the seedling straw test, and 23 significant SNPs were identified by field data. Fifteen SNPs were identified within a 100 kb window containing pentatricopepti...
