An introgression breeding programme was carried out to transfer the virus resistance gene  AV-1   pro   from the wild species  Asparagus prostratus  to the garden asparagus  Asparagus officinalis . Serious crossing barriers caused by genetic distance and different ploidy levels of the crossing parents have been overcome using embryo rescue for the F 1 , BC 1 , and BC 2  generations. The male and female fertility was widely restored in BC 2  and was shown to be comparable to the cultivated asparagus. Five AV-1 resistant diploid (2n = 2x = 20) BC 2  plants were selected and reciprocally backcrossed with asparagus cultivars. Segregation analyses of fourteen seedborne BC 3  progenies suggested a monogenic dominant inheritance of the AV-1 resistance. Genotyping by sequencing analysis gave a strong hint for location of the resistance gene on asparagus Chromosome 2. Using an Axiom single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping array for the analysis of three BC 3  families with 10 AV-1 resistant and 10 AV-1 susceptible plants each, as well as 25 asparagus cultivars, the  AV-1   pro   locus on Chromosome 2 was further narrowed down. The SNP with the highest LOD score was converted to a kompetitive allele specific PCR (KASP) marker, shown to be useful for the further backcross programme and serving as the starting point for the development of a diagnostic marker.
