Fig. 1. RAPD marker linkage map previously constructed using F_8:9 recombinant inbred lines derived from a common bean cross Belneb RR-1 x A 55. The gene and marker names are given on the right, and the length in cM shown on the right bottom of each linkage group. Markers significantly (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001) associated with resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss) are indicated by boxes. The associated resistance to Pss is indicated in the boxes, with a line extending from the boxes indicating the confidence interval for interval mapping. The abbreviations of disease reactions to Pss are as follows; STEM = resistance to stem inoculations in growth chamber; BBS = plant resistance to natural infection in the field; LFA = resistance to natural infection in the field using the leaflet freezing assay to indirectly measure bacterial population sizes.
