Abstract Bacterial wilt (BW) caused by the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) represents one of the most serious diseases affecting potato cultivation. The development of BW-resistant cultivars represents the most efficient strategy to control this disease. The resistance-related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in plants against different RSSC strains have not been studied extensively. Therefore, we performed QTL analysis for evaluating BW resistance using a diploid population derived from Solanum phureja, S. chacoense, and S. tuberosum. Plants cultivated in vitro were inoculated with different strains (phylotype I/biovar 3, phylotype I/biovar 4, and phylotype IV/biovar 2A) and incubated at 24?°C or 28?°C under controlled conditions. Composite interval mapping was performed for the disease indexes using a resistant parent-derived map and a susceptible parent-derived map consisting of single-nucleotide polymorphism markers. We identified five major and five minor resistance QTLs on potato chromosomes 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, and 11. The major QTLs PBWR-3 and PBWR-7 conferred stable resistance against Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum (phylotype I) and Ralstonia syzygii (phylotype IV), whereas PBWR-6b was a strain-specific major resistance QTL against phylotype I/biovar 3 and was more effective at a lower temperature. Therefore, we suggest that broad-spectrum QTLs and strain-specific QTLs can be combined to develop the most effective BW-resistant cultivars for specific areas.
