Resumen
Several studies have been conducted to identify QTLs for resistance to white mold in
Phaseolus vulgaris. SSR markers have the advantages of being codominant and distributed
throughout the genome, being considered one of the best genetic markers for mapping purposes
and efficient to identify QTLs (Soule et al. 2011). In the meta-QTL analysis, SSR markers can be
used to identify stable genomic regions in populations, and therefore, be more promising in
marker-assisted selection programs. The objective of the study was to identify SSR markers
nearby and/or within the meta-QTL intervals described by Vasconcellos et al. (2017), in order to
evaluate the possibility of using these markers for resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in
common bean.
