Abstract
Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is an economically important grain legume cultivated in Asian countries. High-density genetic linkage is a valuable and effective tool for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL). In the current study, a high-resolution genetic map containing 4,180 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was assigned to 11 linkage groups (LGs) and spanning 1,751.39 cM in length was constructed for mung bean, and the average distance between adjacent markers was 0.42 cM. Bruchids (Callosobruchus spp.) cause significant damage to and loss of legume seeds. A locus for bruchid resistance was detected. The gene Vradi05g03810, encoding a probable resistance-specific protein, was found to be the most likely key candidate gene in mung beans. A 69-bp sequence deletion was identified in the coding region by comparing the cDNA sequences of bruchid-resistant and bruchid-susceptible lines. This SNP-based high-density linkage map is one of the first to be constructed across the mung bean genome. This map will not only facilitate the genetic mapping of genes or complex loci that control important agronomic traits but also offer a tool for promoting future genetics and comparative genomic studies in Vigna.
