Two quantitative trait loci (QTLs), (QTL(AR1) and QTL(AR2)) associated with resistance to ascochyta blight, caused by Ascochyta rabiei, have been identified in a recombinant inbred line population derived from a cross of kabulixdesi chickpea. The population was evaluated in two cropping seasons under field conditions and the QTLs were found to be located in two different linkage groups (LG4a and LG4b). LG4b was saturated with RAPD markers and four of them associated with resistance were sequenced to give sequence characterized amplified regions (SCARs) that segregated with QTL(AR2). This QTL explained 21% of the total phenotypic variation. However, QTL(AR1), located in LG4a, explained around 34% of the total phenotypic variation in reaction to ascochyta blight when scored in the second cropping season. This LG4a region only includes a few markers, the flower colour locus (B/b), STMS GAA47, a RAPD marker and an inter-simple-sequence-repeat and corresponds with a previously reported QTL. From the four SCARs tagging QTL(AR2), SCAR (SCY17(590)) was co-dominant, and the other three were dominant. All SCARs segregated in a 1:1 (presence:absence) ratio and the scoring co-segregated with their respective RAPD markers. QTL(AR2) on LG4b was mapped in a highly saturated genomic region covering a genetic distance of 0.8 cM with a cluster of nine markers (three SCARs, two sequence-tagged microsatellite sites (STMS) and four RAPDs). Two of the four SCARs showed significant alignment with genes or proteins related to disease resistance in other species and one of them (SCK13(603)) was sited in the highly saturated region linked to QTL(AR2). STMS TA72 and TA146 located in LG4b were described in previous maps where QTL for blight resistance were also localized in both inter and intraspecific crosses. These findings may improve the precision of molecular breeding for QTL(AR2) as they will allow the choice of as much polymorphism as possible in any population and could be the starting point for finding a candidate resistant gene for ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea.
