  abstract = {{C}assava ({M}anihot esculenta {C}rantz) is a major root crop widely grown in the tropics. {C}assava bacterial blight, caused by {X}anthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis ({X}am), is an important disease in {L}atin {A}merica and {A}frica resulting in significant losses. {T}he preferred control method is the use of resistant genotypes. {M}apping expressed sequence tags ({EST}s) and determining their co-localization with quantitative trait loci ({QTL}s) may give additional evidence of the role of the corresponding genes in resistance or defense. {T}wenty-one {EST}-derived simple sequence repeats ({SSR}s) were mapped in 16 linkage groups. {EST}s showing similarities with candidate resistance genes or defense genes were also mapped using strategies such as restriction fragment length polymorphisms, cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences, and allele-specific primers. {I}n total, 10 defense-related genes and 2 bacterial artificial chromosomes ({BAC}s) containing resistance gene candidates ({RGC}s) were mapped in 11 linkage groups. {T}wo new {QTL}s associated with resistance to {X}am strains {CIO}121 and {CIO}151 were detected in linkage groups {A} and {U}, respectively. {T}he {QTL} in linkage group {U} explained 61.6% of the phenotypic variance and was associated with an {RGC}-containing {BAC}. {N}o correlation was found between the new {EST}-derived {SSR}s or other mapped {EST}s and the new or previously reported {QTL}s.},
