A high-resolution genetic map of yellow monkeyflower identifies chemical defense QTLs and recombination rate variation.

ABSTRACT: Genotyping-by-sequencing methods have vastly improved the resolution and accuracy of genetic linkage maps by increasing both the number of marker loci as well as the number of individuals genotyped at these loci. Using restriction-associated DNA sequencing, we construct a dense linkage map for a panel of recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between divergent ecotypes of Mimulus guttatus. We used this map to estimate recombination rate across the genome and to identify quantitative trait loci for the production of several secondary compounds (PPGs) of the phenylpropanoid pathway implicated in defense against herbivores. Levels of different PPGs are correlated across recombinant inbred lines suggesting joint regulation of the phenylpropanoid pathway. However, the three quantitative trait loci identified in this study each act on a distinct PPG. Finally, we map three putative genomic inversions differentiating the two parental populations, including a previously characterized inversion that contributes to life-history differences between the annual/perennial ecotypes.

Project description:Development and large-scale genotyping of user-friendly informative genome/gene-derived InDel markers in natural and mapping populations is vital for accelerating genomics-assisted breeding applications of chickpea with minimal resource expenses. The present investigation employed a high-throughput whole genome next-generation resequencing strategy in low and high pod number parental accessions and homozygous individuals constituting the bulks from each of two inter-specific mapping populations [(Pusa 1103 × ILWC 46) and (Pusa 256 × ILWC 46)] to develop non-erroneous InDel markers at a genome-wide scale. Comparing these high-quality genomic sequences, 82,360 InDel markers with reference to kabuli genome and 13,891 InDel markers exhibiting differentiation between low and high pod number parental accessions and bulks of aforementioned mapping populations were developed. These informative markers were structurally and functionally annotated in diverse coding and non-coding sequence components of genome/genes of kabuli chickpea. The functional significance of regulatory and coding (frameshift and large-effect mutations) InDel markers for establishing marker-trait linkages through association/genetic mapping was apparent. The markers detected a greater amplification (97%) and intra-specific polymorphic potential (58-87%) among a diverse panel of cultivated desi, kabuli, and wild accessions even by using a simpler cost-efficient agarose gel-based assay implicating their utility in large-scale genetic analysis especially in domesticated chickpea with narrow genetic base. Two high-density inter-specific genetic linkage maps generated using aforesaid mapping populations were integrated to construct a consensus 1479 InDel markers-anchored high-resolution (inter-marker distance: 0.66 cM) genetic map for efficient molecular mapping of major QTLs governing pod number and seed yield per plant in chickpea. Utilizing these high-density genetic maps as anchors, three major genomic regions harboring each of pod number and seed yield robust QTLs (15-28% phenotypic variation explained) were identified on chromosomes 2, 4, and 6. The integration of genetic and physical maps at these QTLs mapped on chromosomes scaled-down the long major QTL intervals into high-resolution short pod number and seed yield robust QTL physical intervals (0.89-2.94 Mb) which were essentially got validated in multiple genetic backgrounds of two chickpea mapping populations. The genome-wide InDel markers including natural allelic variants and genomic loci/genes delineated at major six especially in one colocalized novel congruent robust pod number and seed yield robust QTLs mapped on a high-density consensus genetic map were found most promising in chickpea. These functionally relevant molecular tags can drive marker-assisted genetic enhancement to develop high-yielding cultivars with increased seed/pod number and yield in chickpea.

Project description:A whole genome screen was used to assay every gene of Escherichia coli strain BW25113 to identify genes involved in susceptibility to the monobactam (beta-lactam) antibiotic aztreonam. The methodology has been called TraDIS-Xpress, and is a version of TraDIS or Tn-seq. A transposon mutant library consisting of several hundred thousand mutants was constructed using a Tn5-derived transposon incorporating an inducible outward transcribing promoter. All the mutants were grown in LB broth cultures supplemented with aztreonam at 2 x, 1 x, 0.5 x and 0.25 x MIC with induction of the transposon promoter using 0.2 mM IPTG or 1 mM IPTG or without induction. Following growth, mutants with increased susceptibility show reduced numbers and those with reduced susceptibility show increased numbers. Each condition was performed in duplicate. The methodology enable genes to be assayed by insertional inactivation or by changes in expression. Expression changes result from altered transcription from upstream transposon insertions transcribing into the gene, or downstream insertions transcribing into the gene in the reverse direction leading to RNA interference through the generation of reverse and complementary RNA. Thus, essential genes into which transposon insertions are not tolerated may be assayed also by changes in numbers of upstream or downstream insertion mutants. Changes to high throughput sequencing protocols permit the generation of nucleotide sequence reads from the known transposon sequences into the surrounding insertion site for all the mutants in the mixture simultaneously. Matching the sequence of the reads to the genome nucleotide sequence of E. coli BW25113 then allows the precise locations of all the transposon insertion sites of all the mutants to be mapped simultaneously. The relative changes in mutants between control (without) and selective condition (with aztreonam) then indicates which genes are involved in susceptibility. The numbers of sequence reads that match is reflected by the number of mutants, and so the degree of susceptibility can also be estimated.
