Uncovering the genetic basis of agronomic traits in wheat landraces is important for ensuring global food security via development improved varieties. Here, 723 from 10 Chinese agro-ecological zones were evaluated 23 six environments. All accessions could be clustered into five subgroups based on phenotypic data discriminant function analysis, which was highly consistent with genotypic classification. A genome-wide association study conducted these using 52 303 DArT-seq markers to identify...
Core Ideas Variations in 16 seedling traits under normal and drought conditions were investigated. Extremely resistant sensitive accessions identified for future analyses. Under conditions, 57 29 QTL identified, respectively. A total of 77 candidate genes four validated by qRT‐PCR. Drought is one the most important abiotic stressors affecting wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) production. To improve yield, a better understanding genetic control governing resistance paramount. Here, using 645...
The D-genome progenitor of wheat (Triticum aestivum), Aegilops tauschii, possesses numerous genes for resistance to abiotic stresses, including drought. Therefore, information on the genetic architecture A. tauschii can aid development drought-resistant varieties. Here, we evaluated 13 traits in 373 accessions grown under normal and polyethylene glycol-simulated drought stress conditions performed a genome-wide association study using 7,185 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers.

The formation of animal breeds usually begins with a small subsample from their ancestral population. Deleterious mutations accumulate in the population under genetic drift, inbreeding, and artificial selection during development maintenance traits desired by humans. White raccoon dogs are among most popular farmed dogs, but white more susceptible to disease have lower reproductive ability. However, accumulation deleterious this breed is largely unknown. By analyzing comparing whole-genome...
A high-quality reference genome coupled with resequencing data is a promising strategy to address issues in conservation genomics. This has greatly enhanced the development of plans for endangered species. Pangolins are fascinating animals variety unique features. Unfortunately, they most trafficked wild animal world. In this study, we assembled chromosome-scale HiFi long reads and Hi-C short Chinese Malayan pangolin provided two new representative genomes We found great improvement...
Grain number per spikelet (GNS) is a key determinant of grain yield in wheat. A recombinant inbred line population comprising 300 lines was developed from cross between high GNS variety H461 and Chinese Spring which the reference genome assembly bread wheat obtained. Both parents were genotyped using 55K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. high-density genetic map containing 21,197 SNPs These markers covered each 21 chromosomes with total linkage distance 3792.71 cM. Locations these...
Abstract Background Phosphorus deficiency is a major limiting factors for affecting crop production globally. To understand the genetic variation of phosphorus-deficiency-tolerance, total 15 seedling traits were evaluated among 707 Chinese wheat landraces under application phosphorus (AP) and non-application (NP). A 18,594 single-nucleotide polymorphisms 38,678 diversity arrays technology sequencing markers used to detect marker-trait associations AP NP. Results Top ten genotypes with...
Synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW), possesses numerous genes for drought that can help breeding drought-tolerant varieties. We evaluated 10 root traits at seedling stage in 111 F9 recombinant inbred lines derived from a F2 population of SHW line (SHW-L1) and common line, under normal (NC) polyethylene glycol-simulated stress conditions (DC). mapped quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using an enriched high-density genetic map containing 120370 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 733 diversity...
Total spikelet number per spike (TSS) is one of the key components grain yield in wheat. Chromosome (chr.) 2D contains numerous genes that control TSS. In this study, we evaluated 138 F8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from an F2 population a synthetic hexaploid wheat line (SHW-L1) and common cultivar (Chuanmai 32) for TSS six different environments. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) TSS, constructed integrated high-density genetic map chr. containing two simple sequence...
From the perspective of wheat yield improvement, coleoptile is vital for successful crop establishment, and long lengths (CLs) are preferred in wheat-growing regions where deep planting practiced. To determine genetic basis CL, we performed a genome-wide association study on set 707 Chinese landraces using 18594 single-nucleotide polymorphisms 38678 diversity array technology sequencing markers. We accordingly detected total 29 significant markers (−log10 (P) > 4.76) distributed chromosomes...
Plant height (PH) plays a pivotal role in plant morphological architecture and is associated with yield potential wheat. For the quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis, recombinant inbred line population was developed between varieties differing significantly PH. Two major QTL were identified on chromosomes 4B (QPh.sicau-4B) 6D (QPh.sicau-6D) multiple environments, which then validated two different backgrounds by using closely linked markers. QPh.sicau-4B explained 10.1%–21.3% of...
Deficiency of available phosphorus (P) in soil limits wheat production and creates a need to develop P-deficiency-tolerant cultivars. Plant roots, important organs for absorbing nutrients synthesizing growth regulators, are good candidates P-efficiency screening. In this study, we evaluated five root traits under hydroponic culture conditions either with (AP) or without (NP) applied P recombinant inbred line population (H461/CM107) Triticum aestivum L. at the seedling stage. Four significant...
