Genetic dissection of days to flowering via genome-wide association studies in Turkish common bean germplasm.

ABSTRACT: Common bean is a nutrient-dense legume crop serving as a source of food for millions of people. Characterization of unexplored common bean germplasm to unlock the phenotypic and genetic variations is still needed to explore the breeding potential of this crop. The current study aimed to dissect the genetic basis having association for days to flowering (DF). A total of 188 common bean accessions collected from 19 provinces of Turkey were used as plant material under five environments and two locations. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that genotypes and genotype by environment interaction have significant effects on DF. A total of 10 most stable accessions were evaluated from stability analysis. Overall maximum (75) and minimum (54) DF were observed for Hakkari-51 and Mus-46 accessions, respectively. The implemented constellation plot divided studied germplasm according to their DF and growth habit. A total of 7900 DArTseq markers were used for association analysis. Mixed linear model using the Q + K Model resulted a total of 18 DArTseq markers from five environments. DArT-8668385 marker identified in Bolu during 2016 was also associated with DF in Sivas during 2017. Combined data of five years resulted a total of four markers (DArT-22346534, DArT-3369768, DArT-3374613, and DArT-3370801) having significant association ( p < 0.01 ) for DF. DArT-22346534 present on Pv 08 accounted a maximum of 9.89% variation to the studied trait. A total of four putative candidate genes were predicted from sequences reflecting homology to identified four DArTseq markers. We envisage that exploitation of identified DArTseq markers will hopefully beneficial for the development of new common bean varieties having better adaptation ability to changing climatic conditions.

Project description:Magnesium (Mg) is the fourth most abundant element in the human body and plays the role of cofactor for more than 300 enzymatic reactions. In plants, Mg is involved in various key physiological and biochemical processes like growth, development, photophosphorylation, chlorophyll formation, protein synthesis, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Keeping in view the importance of this element, the present investigation aimed to explore the Mg contents diversity in the seeds of Turkish common bean germplasm and to identify the genomic regions associated with this element. A total of 183 common bean accessions collected from 19 provinces of Turkey were used as plant material. Field experiments were conducted according to an augmented block design during 2018 in two provinces of Turkey, and six commercial cultivars were used as a control group. Analysis of variance depicted that Mg concentration among common bean accessions was statistically significant (p < 0.05) within each environment, however genotype × environment interaction was non-significant. A moderate level (0.60) of heritability was found in this study. Overall mean Mg contents for both environments varied from 0.33 for Nigde-Dermasyon to 1.52 mg kg-1 for Nigde-Derinkuyu landraces, while gross mean Mg contents were 0.92 mg kg-1. At the province level, landraces from Bolu were rich while the landraces from Bitlis were poor in seed Mg contents respectively. The cluster constellation plot divided the studied germplasm into two populations on the basis of their Mg contents. Marker-trait association was performed using a mixed linear model (Q + K) with a total of 7,900 DArTseq markers. A total of six markers present on various chromosomes (two at Pv01, and one marker at each chromosome i.e., Pv03, Pv07, Pv08, Pv11) showed statistically significant association for seed Mg contents. Among these identified markers, the DArT-3367607 marker present on chromosome Pv03 contributed to maximum phenotypic variation (7.5%). Additionally, this marker was found within a narrow region of previously reported markers. We are confident that the results of this study will contribute significantly to start common bean breeding activities using marker assisted selection regarding improved Mg contents.

Project description:Common bean (bean) is one of the most important legume crops, and mapping genes for yield and yield-related traits is essential for its improvement. However, yield is a complex trait that is typically controlled by many loci in crop genomes. The objective of this research was to identify regions in the bean genome associated with yield and a number of yield-related traits using a collection of 121 diverse bean genotypes with different yields. The beans were evaluated in replicated trials at two locations, over two years. Significant variation among genotypes was identified for all traits analyzed in the four environments. The collection was genotyped with the BARCBean6K_3 chip (5,398 SNPs), two yield/antiyield gene-based markers, and seven markers previously associated with resistance to common bacterial blight (CBB), including a Niemann-Pick polymorphism (NPP) gene-based marker. Over 90% of the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were polymorphic and separated the panel into two main groups of small-seeded and large-seeded beans, reflecting their Mesoamerican and Andean origins. Thirty-nine significant marker-trait associations (MTAs) were identified between 31 SNPs and 15 analyzed traits on all 11 bean chromosomes. Some of these MTAs confirmed genome regions previously associated with the yield and yield-related traits in bean, but a number of associations were not reported previously, especially those with derived traits. Over 600 candidate genes with different functional annotations were identified for the analyzed traits in the 200-Kb region centered on significant SNPs. Fourteen SNPs were identified within the gene model sequences, and five additional SNPs significantly associated with five different traits were located at less than 0.6 Kb from the candidate genes. The work confirmed associations between two yield/antiyield gene-based markers (AYD1m and AYD2m) on chromosome Pv09 with yield and identified their association with a number of yield-related traits, including seed weight. The results also confirmed the usefulness of the NPP marker in screening for CBB resistance. Since disease resistance and yield measurements are environmentally dependent and labor-intensive, the three gene-based markers (CBB- and two yield-related) and quantitative trait loci (QTL) that were validated in this work may be useful tools for simplifying and accelerating the selection of high-yielding and CBB-resistant bean cultivars.
