EVALUATION AND ASSOCIATION ANALYSIS OF STEMPHYLIUM LEAF SPOT RESISTANCE FOR USDA SPINACH GERMPLASM

Objective

Evaluate and screen Stemphylium leaf spot resistance in USDA spinach germplasm accessions in GRIN (Germplasm Resource Information Network), and conduct genome wide association studies (GWAS) to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for leaf spot resistance in USDA spinach germplasm in order to conduct marker assisted selection (MAS) and genomic selection (GS) in a spinach breeding program to select plants and lines for Stemphylium leaf spot resistance.
