downy mildew resistance

Details

A biparental cross of 95 recombinant inbred lines of "Salinas 88" (susceptible) and "La Brillante" (highly resistant to downy mildew). The 89 RILs were evaluated in field experiments performed in 2010 and 2011 near Salinas, California. Each loc had a 2 or 3 rep RCB design. There were approximately 30 plants per plot. Plots were scored 0 (no disease) to 5 (severe disease).

The authors used the following model in a first-stage analysis to compute adjusted means for each genotype:

y = loc + gen + gen:loc + block:loc + error

where gen was fixed and all other terms random. The adjusted means were used as the response in a second stage:

mn = 1 + Zu + error

where Z is the design matrix of marker effects. The error term is fixed to have covariance matrix R be the same as from the first stage.

Genotyping was performed with 95 SNPs and 205 amplified fragment length polymporphism markers so that a marker matrix M (89×300) was provided. The biallelic marker M(iw) for the ith genotype and the wth marker with alleles A1 (i.e. the reference allele) and A2 was coded as 1 for A1,A1, -1 for A2,A2 and 0 for A1,A2 and A2,A2.
