Development of an Aus-Derived Nested Association Mapping (Aus-NAM) Population in Rice.

ABSTRACT: A genetic resource for studying genetic architecture of agronomic traits and environmental adaptation is essential for crop improvements. Here, we report the development of a rice nested association mapping population (aus-NAM) using 7 aus varieties as diversity donors and T65 as the common parent. Aus-NAM showed broad phenotypic variations. To test whether aus-NAM was useful for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, known flowering genes (Ehd1, Hd1, and Ghd7) in rice were characterized using single-family QTL mapping, joint QTL mapping, and the methods based on genome-wide association study (GWAS). Ehd1 was detected in all the seven families and all the methods. On the other hand, Hd1 and Ghd7 were detected in some families, and joint QTL mapping and GWAS-based methods resulted in weaker and uncertain peaks. Overall, the high allelic variations in aus-NAM provide a valuable genetic resource for the rice community.

Development and Genetic Characterization of an Advanced Backcross-Nested Association Mapping (AB-NAM) Population of Wild × Cultivated Barley.

Project description:The ability to access alleles from unadapted germplasm collections is a long-standing problem for geneticists and breeders. Here we developed, characterized, and demonstrated the utility of a wild barley advanced backcross-nested association mapping (AB-NAM) population. We developed this population by backcrossing 25 wild barley accessions to the six-rowed malting barley cultivar Rasmusson. The 25 wild barley parents were selected from the 318 accession Wild Barley Diversity Collection (WBDC) to maximize allelic diversity. The resulting 796 BC2F4:6 lines were genotyped with 384 SNP markers, and an additional 4022 SNPs and 263,531 sequence variants were imputed onto the population using 9K iSelect SNP genotypes and exome capture sequence of the parents, respectively. On average, 96% of each wild parent was introgressed into the Rasmusson background, and the population exhibited low population structure. While linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay (r(2) = 0.2) was lowest in the WBDC (0.36 cM), the AB-NAM (9.2 cM) exhibited more rapid LD decay than comparable advanced backcross (28.6 cM) and recombinant inbred line (32.3 cM) populations. Three qualitative traits: glossy spike, glossy sheath, and black hull color were mapped with high resolution to loci corresponding to known barley mutants for these traits. Additionally, a total of 10 QTL were identified for grain protein content. The combination of low LD, negligible population structure, and high diversity in an adapted background make the AB-NAM an important tool for high-resolution gene mapping and discovery of novel allelic variation using wild barley germplasm.

Genetic Architecture of a Rice Nested Association Mapping Population.

Project description:Describing the genetic diversity in the gene pool of crops will provide breeders with novel resources for varietal improvement. Nested Association Mapping (NAM) populations are uniquely suited for characterizing parental diversity through the shuffling and fixation of parental haplotypes. Here, we describe a set of 1879 rice NAM lines created through the selfing and single-seed descent of F1 hybrids derived from elite IR64 indica crossed with 10 diverse tropical japonica lines. Genotyping data indicated tropical japonica alleles were captured at every queried locus despite the presence of segregation distortion factors. Several distortion loci were mapped, both shared and unique, among the 10 populations. Using two-point and multi-point genetic map calculations, our datasets achieved the ∼1500 cM expected map size in rice. Finally, we highlighted the utility of the NAM lines for QTL mapping, including joint analysis across the 10 populations, by confirming known QTL locations for the trait days to heading.

Project description:Producing sufficient food for nine billion people by 2050 will be constrained by soil salinity, especially in irrigated systems. To improve crop yield, greater understanding of the genetic control of traits contributing to salinity tolerance in the field is needed. Here, we exploit natural variation in exotic germplasm by taking a genome-wide association approach to a new nested association mapping population of barley called HEB-25. The large population (1,336 genotypes) allowed cross-validation of loci, which, along with two years of phenotypic data collected from plants irrigated with fresh and saline water, improved statistical power. We dissect the genetic architecture of flowering time under high salinity and we present genes putatively affecting this trait and salinity tolerance. In addition, we identify a locus on chromosome 2H where, under saline conditions, lines homozygous for the wild allele yielded 30% more than did lines homozygous for the Barke allele. Introgressing this wild allele into elite cultivars could markedly improve yield under saline conditions.

Genetic Architecture of Nitrogen-Deficiency Tolerance in Wheat Seedlings Based on a Nested Association Mapping (NAM) Population.

Project description:Genetic divergence for nitrogen utilization in germplasms is important in wheat breeding programs, especially for low nitrogen input management. In this study, a nested association mapping (NAM) population, derived from "Yanzhan 1" (a Chinese domesticated cultivar) crossed with "Hussar" (a British domesticated cultivar) and another three semi-wild wheat varieties, namely, "Cayazheda 29" (Triticum aestivum ssp. tibetanum Shao), "Yunnan" (T. aestivum ssp. yunnanense King), and "Yutian" (T. aestivum petropavloski Udats et Migusch), was used to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for nitrogen utilization at the seedling stage. An integrated genetic map was constructed using 2,059 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers from a 90 K SNP chip, with a total coverage of 2,355.75 cM and an average marker spacing of 1.13 cM. A total of 67 QTLs for RDW (root dry weight), SDW (shoot dry weight), TDW (total dry weight), and RSDW (root to shoot ratio) were identified under normal nitrogen conditions (N+) and nitrogen deficient conditions (N-). Twenty-three of these QTLs were only detected under N- conditions. Moreover, 23 favorable QTLs were identified in the domesticated cultivar Yanzhan 1, 15 of which were detected under N+ conditions, while only four were detected under N- conditions. In contrast, the semi-wild cultivars contributed more favorable N--specific QTLs (eight from Cayazheda 29; nine from Yunnan), which could be further explored for breeding cultivars adapted to nitrogen-deficient conditions. In particular, QRSDW-5A.1 from YN should be further evaluated using high-resolution mapping.

Genome-wide association mapping focusing on a rice population derived from rice breeding programs in a region.

Project description:Plant breeding programs in local regions may generate genetic variations that are desirable to local populations and shape adaptability during the establishment of local populations. To elucidate genetic bases for this process, we proposed a new approach for identifying the genetic bases for the traits improved during rice breeding programs; association mapping focusing on a local population. In the present study, we performed association mapping focusing on a local rice population, consisting of 63 varieties, in Hokkaido, the northernmost region of Japan and one of the northern limits of rice cultivation worldwide. Six and seventeen QTLs were identified for heading date and low temperature germinability, respectively. Of these, 13 were novel QTLs in this population and 10 corresponded to the QTLs previously reported based on QTL mapping. The identification of QTLs for traits in local populations including elite varieties may lead to a better understanding of the genetic bases of elite traits. This is of direct relevance for plant breeding programs in local regions.

Footprints of Selection Derived From Temporal Heterozygosity Patterns in a Barley Nested Association Mapping Population.

Project description:Nowadays, genetic diversity more than ever represents a key driver of adaptation to climate challenges like drought, heat, and salinity. Therefore, there is a need to replenish the limited elite gene pools with favorable exotic alleles from the wild progenitors of our crops. Nested association mapping (NAM) populations represent one step toward exotic allele evaluation and enrichment of the elite gene pool. We investigated an adaptive selection strategy in the wild barley NAM population HEB-25 based on temporal genomic data by studying the fate of 214,979 SNP loci initially heterozygous in individual BC1S3 lines after five cycles of selfing and field propagation. We identified several loci exposed to adaptive selection in HEB-25. In total, 48.7% (104,725 SNPs) of initially heterozygous SNP calls in HEB-25 were fixed in BC1S3:8 generation, either toward the wild allele (19.9%) or the cultivated allele (28.8%). Most fixed SNP loci turned out to represent gene loci involved in domestication and flowering time as well as plant height, for example, btr1/btr2, thresh-1, Ppd-H1, and sdw1. Interestingly, also unknown loci were found where the exotic allele was fixed, hinting at potentially useful exotic alleles for plant breeding.

Nested-association mapping (NAM)-based genetic dissection uncovers candidate genes for seed and pod weights in peanut (Arachis hypogaea).

Project description:Multiparental genetic mapping populations such as nested-association mapping (NAM) have great potential for investigating quantitative traits and associated genomic regions leading to rapid discovery of candidate genes and markers. To demonstrate the utility and power of this approach, two NAM populations, NAM_Tifrunner and NAM_Florida-07, were used for dissecting genetic control of 100-pod weight (PW) and 100-seed weight (SW) in peanut. Two high-density SNP-based genetic maps were constructed with 3341 loci and 2668 loci for NAM_Tifrunner and NAM_Florida-07, respectively. The quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis identified 12 and 8 major effect QTLs for PW and SW, respectively, in NAM_Tifrunner, and 13 and 11 major effect QTLs for PW and SW, respectively, in NAM_Florida-07. Most of the QTLs associated with PW and SW were mapped on the chromosomes A05, A06, B05 and B06. A genomewide association study (GWAS) analysis identified 19 and 28 highly significant SNP-trait associations (STAs) in NAM_Tifrunner and 11 and 17 STAs in NAM_Florida-07 for PW and SW, respectively. These significant STAs were co-localized, suggesting that PW and SW are co-regulated by several candidate genes identified on chromosomes A05, A06, B05, and B06. This study demonstrates the utility of NAM population for genetic dissection of complex traits and performing high-resolution trait mapping in peanut.

WGNAM: whole-genome nested association mapping.

Project description:Key messageA powerful QTL analysis method for nested association mapping populations is presented. Based on a one-stage multi-locus model, it provides accurate predictions of founder specific QTL effects. Nested association mapping (NAM) populations have been created to enable the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) in different genetic backgrounds. A whole-genome nested association mapping (WGNAM) method is presented to perform QTL analysis in NAM populations. The WGNAM method is an adaptation of the multi-parent whole genome average interval mapping approach where the crossing design is incorporated through the probability of inheriting founder alleles for every marker across the genome. Based on a linear mixed model, this method provides a one-stage analysis of raw phenotypic data, molecular markers, and crossing design. It simultaneously scans the whole-genome through an iterative process leading to a model with all the identified QTL while keeping the false positive rate low. The WGNAM approach was assessed through a simulation study, confirming to be a powerful and accurate method for QTL analysis for a NAM population. This novel method can also accommodate a multi-reference NAM (MR-NAM) population where donor parents are crossed with multiple reference parents to increase genetic diversity. Therefore, a demonstration is presented using a MR-NAM population for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to perform a QTL analysis for plant height. The strength and size of the putative QTL were summarized enhancing the understanding of the QTL effects depending on the parental origin. Compared to other methods, the proposed methodology based on a one-stage analysis provides greater power to detect QTL and increased accuracy in the estimation of their effects. The WGNAM method establishes the basis for accurate QTL mapping studies for NAM and MR-NAM populations.
