Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri is a notorious disease affecting a decrease in fruit productivity and quality. Citrus export to USA is also prohibited by the disease. Therefore, development of citrus canker resistant variety is essential and exploitation of markers for molecular breeding is urgent. To develop DNA molecular markers, we performed whole genome resequencing for 8 varieties: 4 citrus canker resistant varieties including C. hybrid ‘Kioymi’ and 4 citrus canker susceptible varieties including C. iyo ‘Miyauchiiyokan’. In total, 642 polymorphic SNPs were detected between resistant and susceptible varieties. Of the 642 SNPs, 50 SNPs were preferably selected based on integrative genomics viewer. To apply the markers in a broad range of citrus variety, we performed genotyping with 6 other varieties very well known as citrus canker resistant and susceptible varieties in addition to previous mentioned 8 varieties. Three of the 50 SNPs were identified as a marker to distinguish citrus canker resistant varieties from susceptible varieties. Secondly, we developed molecular markers to apply for F1 lines crossed by ‘Kiyomi’ and ‘Miyauchiiyokan’. Of the 50 SNPs, we identified 2 SNP markers to distinguish between F1 resistant and susceptible lines. One of them is a resistance gene that plays a role in plant defense mechanism. In this study, we developed 5 molecular marker candidates possible to apply for molecular breeding to develop citrus canker resistant variety. We are working on development of candidate markers related to citrus canker.
