Selection footprints reflect genomic changes associated with breeding efforts in 56 cucumber inbred lines.

ABSTRACT: Cucumber selective breeding over recent decades has dramatically increased productivity and quality, but the genomic characterizations and changes associated with this breeding history remain unclear. Here, we analyzed the genome resequencing data of 56 artificially selected cucumber inbred lines that exhibit various phenotypes to detect trait-associated sequence variations that reflect breeding improvement. We found that the 56 cucumber lines could be assigned to group 1 and group 2, and the two groups formed a distinctive genetic structure due to the breeding history involving hybridization and selection. Differentially selected regions were identified between group 1 and group 2, with implications for genomic-selection breeding signatures. These regions included known quantitative trait loci or genes that were reported to be associated with agronomic traits. Our results advance knowledge of cucumber genomics, and the 56 selected inbred lines could be good germplasm resources for breeding.

Project description:Key messageWe evaluated genomic selection across five breeding cycles of bread wheat breeding. Bias of within-cycle cross-validation and methods for improving the prediction accuracy were assessed. The prospect of genomic selection has been frequently shown by cross-validation studies using the same genetic material across multiple environments, but studies investigating genomic selection across multiple breeding cycles in applied bread wheat breeding are lacking. We estimated the prediction accuracy of grain yield, protein content and protein yield of 659 inbred lines across five independent breeding cycles and assessed the bias of within-cycle cross-validation. We investigated the influence of outliers on the prediction accuracy and predicted protein yield by its components traits. A high average heritability was estimated for protein content, followed by grain yield and protein yield. The bias of the prediction accuracy using populations from individual cycles using fivefold cross-validation was accordingly substantial for protein yield (17-712 %) and less pronounced for protein content (8-86 %). Cross-validation using the cycles as folds aimed to avoid this bias and reached a maximum prediction accuracy of [Formula: see text] = 0.51 for protein content, [Formula: see text] = 0.38 for grain yield and [Formula: see text] = 0.16 for protein yield. Dropping outlier cycles increased the prediction accuracy of grain yield to [Formula: see text] = 0.41 as estimated by cross-validation, while dropping outlier environments did not have a significant effect on the prediction accuracy. Independent validation suggests, on the other hand, that careful consideration is necessary before an outlier correction is undertaken, which removes lines from the training population. Predicting protein yield by multiplying genomic estimated breeding values of grain yield and protein content raised the prediction accuracy to [Formula: see text] = 0.19 for this derived trait.
