Acceso Abierto Common Bean germplasm molecular analysis: a biotechnological approach for breeding(2010) Galván, M.; Stenglein, Sebastián; Balatti, Pedro AlbertoArgentina, which is a major producer of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), represents the southern most limit of the Andean diversification center of the species. The diverse environmental conditions of these places and human selection favored the development of a great variability of wild beans and landraces, which is endangered due to the destruction of habitats by forest exploitation and agriculture. Information on the variability of these resources is essential to set conservation strategies and design breeding programs aimed at enlarging the genetic base of commercial beans. This work is an overview of the marker-based studies on landraces and wild bean genetic diversity, with special emphasis on Argentinean beans, as a first step for the optimal exploitation of the naturally available bean genetic resources, to generate new traits and improve crop performance. The identification of diversity and hybridization between populations is enhanced by the application of the new tools and the information generated by bean genomic research. Gene flow, which appears to occur fairly frequently in bean, has to be studied in more detail in this region in order to facilitate the transfer of useful alleles from the unexploited germplasm to improved lines, broadening the genetic diversity available for breeding. Some resistance gene analogs (RGAs) have been described within the Andean gene pool and only a few have been functionally characterized or linked to a phenotype. Therefore, a strategy for the exploitation of bean germplasm variability based on the detection of RGAs is also mentioned, though more work should be devoted at identifying these sequences in Andean landraces and wild beans. - Artículo
Embargado Pseudocercospora griseola Causing Angular Leaf Spot on Phaseolus vulgaris Produces 1,8-Dihydroxynaphthalene-Melanin(2009) Saparrat, Mario; Fermoselle, Geraldine; Stenglein, Sebastián; Aulicino, Mónica B.; Balatti, Pedro AlbertoPseudocercospora griseolais the causal agent of angular leaf spot of common bean (ALS). It has undergone parallel coevolution with its host and two major groups have been defined, “Andean” (P. griseolaf.griseola) and “Mesoamerican” (P. griseolaf.mesoamericana). The aim of this study was to analyze the nature and the level of the dark pigment synthesized by the representatives of each group. After 21days of incubation on potato dextrose agar medium,P. griseolaf. griseolaisolate S3b developed colonies with diameters of 17.5±1.3mm and concentric rings of pigmentation. Isolate T4 ofP. griseolaf.mesoamericanapresented smaller colonies (9.9±0.3mm) with a uniform dark-gray color. Both isolates, S3b and T4, produced the same pigment, a 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-melanin, although different in quantity and structural features as suggested by the IR spectrum. TheP. griseolaf. griseolaisolate S3b had a higher growth rate and melanin content as well as smaller sensitivity to melanin synthesis inhibitors compared to the isolate T4 ofP. griseolaf.mesoamericana. These results suggest a possible link between melanin and growth inP. griseola.
