Key message Bulked segregant RNA seq of pools of pepper accessions that are susceptible or resistant to Broad bean wilt virus 2 identifies a gene that might confer resistance to this devastating pathogen. Abstract The single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV2) causes substantial damage to pepper ( Capsicum annuum ) cultivation. Here, we describe mapping the BBWV2 resistance locus bwvr using a F 7:...
