Résumé : Disease resistance and defence gene analog (RGA/DGA) sequences were isolated in cocoa using a PCR approach with degenerate primers designed from conserved domains of plant resistance and defence genes: the NBS (nucleotide binding site) motif present in a number of resistance genes such as the tobacco N, sub-domains of plant serine/threonine kinases such as the Pto tomato gene, and conserved domains of two defence gene families: pathogenesis-related proteins (PR) of classes 2 and 5. Nucleotide identity between thirty six sequences isolated from cocoa and known resistance or defence genes varied from 58 to 80%. Amino acid sequences translated from corresponding coding sequences produced sequences without stop codons, except for one NBS - like sequence. Most of the RGAs could be mapped on the cocoa genome and three clusters of genes could be observed: NBS-like sequences clustered in two regions located on chromosomes 7 and 10, Pto-like sequences mapped in five genome regions of which one, located on chromosome 4, corresponded to a cluster of five different sequences. PR2-like sequences mapped in two regions located on chromosome 5 and 9 respectively. An enrichment of the genetic map with microsatellite markers allowed us to identify several co-localisations of RGAs, DGAs and QTL for resistance to Phytophthora detected in several progenies, particularly on chromosome 4 where a cluster of Pto-like sequences and 4 QTL for resistance to Phytophthora were observed. Many other serious diseases affect cocoa and the candidate genes, isolated in this study, could be of broader interest in cocoa disease management.
