ABSTRACT: Background
Blackgram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper], is an important legume crop of Asia with limited genomic resources. We report a comprehensive set of genic simple sequence repeat (SSR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) markers using Illumina MiSeq sequencing of transcriptome and its application in genetic variation analysis and mapping.Results
Transcriptome sequencing of immature seeds of wild blackgram, V. mungo var. silvestris by Illumina MiSeq technology generated 1.9 × 107 reads, which were assembled into 40,178 transcripts (TCS) with an average length of 446 bp covering 2.97 GB of the genome. A total of 38,753 CDS (Coding sequences) were predicted from 40,178 TCS and 28,984 CDS were annotated through BLASTX and mapped to GO and KEGG database resulting in 140 unique pathways. The tri-nucleotides were most abundant (39.9%) followed by di-nucleotide (30.2%). About 60.3 and 37.6% of SSR motifs were present in the coding sequences (CDS) and untranslated regions (UTRs) respectively. Among SNPs, the most abundant substitution type were transitions (Ts) (61%) followed by transversions (Tv) type (39%), with a Ts/Tv ratio of 1.58. A total of 2306 DEGs were identified by RNA Seq between wild and cultivar and validation was done by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. In this study, we genotyped SNPs with a validation rate of 78.87% by High Resolution Melting (HRM) Assay.Conclusion
In the present study, 1621genic-SSR and 1844 SNP markers were developed from immature seed transcriptome sequence of blackgram and 31 genic-SSR markers were used to study genetic variations among different blackgram accessions. Above developed markers contribute towards enriching available genomic resources for blackgram and aid in breeding programmes.
