Construction of ddRADseq-Based High-Density Genetic Map and Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci for Trans-resveratrol Content in Peanut Seeds.

ABSTRACT: Resveratrol (trans-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene) is a natural stilbene phytoalexin which is also found to be good for human health. Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), a worldwide important legume crop, is one of the few sources of human's dietary intake of resveratrol. Although the variations of resveratrol contents among peanut varieties were observed, the variations across environments and its underlying genetic basis were poorly investigated. In this study, the resveratrol content in seeds of a recombination inbred line (RIL) population (Zhonghua 6 × Xuhua 13, 186 progenies) were quantified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method across four environments. Genotypes, environments and genotype × environment interactions significantly influenced the resveratrol contents in the RIL population. A total of 8,114 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified based on double-digest restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq) reads. These SNPs were clustered into bins using a reference-based method, which facilitated the construction of high-density genetic map (2,183 loci with a total length of 2,063.55 cM) and the discovery of several chromosome translocations. Through composite interval mapping (CIM), nine additive quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resveratrol contents were identified on chromosomes A01, A07, A08, B04, B05, B06, B07, and B10 with 5.07-8.19% phenotypic variations explained (PVE). Putative genes within their confidential intervals might play roles in diverse primary and secondary metabolic processes. These results laid a foundation for the further genetic dissection of resveratrol content as well as the breeding and production of high-resveratrol peanuts.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Cucurbita pepo is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, the second- most important horticultural family in terms of economic importance after Solanaceae. The "summer squash" types, including Zucchini and Scallop, rank among the highest-valued vegetables worldwide. There are few genomic tools available for this species.The first Cucurbita transcriptome, along with a large collection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP), was recently generated using massive sequencing. A set of 384 SNP was selected to generate an Illumina GoldenGate assay in order to construct the first SNP-based genetic map of Cucurbita and map quantitative trait loci (QTL). RESULTS: We herein present the construction of the first SNP-based genetic map of Cucurbita pepo using a population derived from the cross of two varieties with contrasting phenotypes, representing the main cultivar groups of the species' two subspecies: Zucchini (subsp. pepo) × Scallop (subsp. ovifera). The mapping population was genotyped with 384 SNP, a set of selected EST-SNP identified in silico after massive sequencing of the transcriptomes of both parents, using the Illumina GoldenGate platform. The global success rate of the assay was higher than 85%. In total, 304 SNP were mapped, along with 11 SSR from a previous map, giving a map density of 5.56 cM/marker. This map was used to infer syntenic relationships between C. pepo and cucumber and to successfully map QTL that control plant, flowering and fruit traits that are of benefit to squash breeding. The QTL effects were validated in backcross populations. CONCLUSION: Our results show that massive sequencing in different genotypes is an excellent tool for SNP discovery, and that the Illumina GoldenGate platform can be successfully applied to constructing genetic maps and performing QTL analysis in Cucurbita. This is the first SNP-based genetic map in the Cucurbita genus and is an invaluable new tool for biological research, especially considering that most of these markers are located in the coding regions of genes involved in different physiological processes. The platform will also be useful for future mapping and diversity studies, and will be essential in order to accelerate the process of breeding new and better-adapted squash varieties.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Cultivated peanut, or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), is an important oilseed crop with an allotetraploid genome (AABB, 2n=4x=40). In recent years, many efforts have been made to construct linkage maps in cultivated peanut, but almost all of these maps were constructed using low-throughput molecular markers, and most show a low density, directly influencing the value of their applications. With advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, the construction of high-density genetic maps has become more achievable in a cost-effective and rapid manner. The objective of this study was to establish a high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based genetic map for cultivated peanut by analyzing next-generation double-digest restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq) reads. RESULTS: We constructed reduced representation libraries (RRLs) for two A. hypogaea lines and 166 of their recombinant inbred line (RIL) progenies using the ddRADseq technique. Approximately 175 gigabases of data containing 952,679,665 paired-end reads were obtained following Solexa sequencing. Mining this dataset, 53,257 SNPs were detected between the parents, of which 14,663 SNPs were also detected in the population, and 1,765 of the obtained polymorphic markers met the requirements for use in the construction of a genetic map. Among 50 randomly selected in silico SNPs, 47 were able to be successfully validated. One linkage map was constructed, which was comprised of 1,685 marker loci, including 1,621 SNPs and 64 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The map displayed a distribution of the markers into 20 linkage groups (LGs A01-A10 and B01-B10), spanning a distance of 1,446.7 cM. The alignment of the LGs from this map was shown in comparison with a previously integrated consensus map from peanut. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that the ddRAD library combined with NGS allowed the rapid discovery of a large number of SNPs in the cultivated peanut. The first high density SNP-based linkage map for A. hypogaea was generated that can serve as a reference map for cultivated Arachis species and will be useful in genetic mapping. Our results contribute to the available molecular marker resources and to the assembly of a reference genome sequence for the peanut.

Project description:Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.), a member of the genus Ziziphus, which comes under the family Rhamnaceae, is the most important species in terms of its economic, ecological, and social benefits. To dissect the loci associated with important phenotypical traits and analyze their genetic and genomic information in jujube, a whole-genome resequencing (WGR) based highly saturated genetic map was constructed using an F1 hybrid population of 140 progeny individuals derived from the cross of 'JMS2' × 'Jiaocheng 5'. The average sequencing depth of the parents was 14.09× and that of the progeny was 2.62×, and the average comparison efficiency between the sample and the reference genome was 97.09%. Three sets of genetic maps were constructed for a female parent, a male parent, and integrated. A total of 8,684 markers, including 8,158 SNP and 526 InDel markers, were evenly distributed across all 12 linkage groups (LGs) in the integrated map, spanning 1,713.22 cM with an average marker interval of 0.2 cM. In terms of marker number and density, this is the most saturated genetic map of jujube to date, nearly doubling that of the best ones previously reported. Based on this genetic map and phenotype data from 2019 to 2021, 31 leaf trait QTLs were identified in the linkage groups (LG1, 15; LG3, 1; LG5, 8; LG7, 4; LG8, 1, and LG11, 2), including 17 major QTLs. There were 4, 8, 14, and 5 QTLs that contributed to leaf length, leaf width, leaf shape index, and leaf area, respectively. Six QTLs clusters were detected on LG1 (8.05 cM-9.52 cM; 13.12 cM-13.99 cM; 123.84 cM-126.09 cM), LG5 (50.58 cM-50.86 cM; 80.10 cM-81.76 cM) and LG11 (35.98 cM-48.62 cM). Eight candidate genes were identified within the QTLs cluster regions. Annotation information showed that 4 genes (LOC107418196, LOC107418241, LOC107417968, and LOC112492570) in these QTLs are related to cell division and cell wall integrity. This research will provide a valuable tool for further QTL analysis, candidate gene identification, map-based gene cloning, comparative mapping, and marker-assisted selection (MAS) in jujube.
