Spotted wilt, caused by tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), has been one of major diseases in cultivated peanut grown in the southeastern United States (US) since 1990. Previously a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) controlling spotted wilt disease resistance was mapped to an interval of cM genetic distance corresponding to a physical distance of Mb on chromosome A01 of peanut by using a segregating F2 population. |
