Genome Wide Association Study of Seedling and Adult Plant Leaf Rust Resistance in Elite Spring Wheat Breeding Lines

Abstract: Leaf rust is an important disease, threatening wheat production annually. Identification of resistance genes or QTLs for effective field resistance could greatly enhance our ability to breed durably resistant varieties. We applied a genome wide association study (GWAS) approach to identify resistance genes or QTLs in 338 spring wheat breeding lines from public and private sectors that were predominately developed in the Americas. A total of 46 QTLs were identified for field and seedling traits and approximatel… Show more

“…The recently developed iSelect 9K and 90K arrays (Cavanagh et al, 2013; Wang et al, 2014) designed to characterize genetic variation in hexaploid wheat populations have extensive applications in QTL mapping (Wu et al, 2015b), genome-wide association studies (GWAS) (Gao et al, 2016), genomic selection (He et al, 2016), and establishment of heterotic groups (Zhao et al, 2015). In the present study, we constructed a dense genetic linkage map for the Y8679/J411 RIL population, using 10,816 polymorphic SNP markers from an iSelect 90K array and 174 polymorphic SSR markers.…”

“…Therefore, to avoid potential risk of type II error, a threshold was determined by obtaining p -values within the bottom 0.1 percentile of the distribution. This approach has been used in a few recent GWA studies in wheat (Zegeye et al, 2014; Gao et al, 2016). Based on this approach, a threshold p -value of 0.001 and 0.0001 corresponded to the bottom 0.1 percentile of the distribution for grain yield and yield components and for stripe rust resistance, respectively.…”

“…In traditional linkage mapping, biparental populations are developed to identify QTLs associated with the phenotype; on the other hand, GWAS use ancestral recombination in natural populations to find marker‐phenotype associations based on linkage disequilibrium (Zhu, Gore, Buckler, & Yu, ). GWAS generally have better mapping resolution than biparental mapping and have become more widely available to plant researchers (Gao, Kathryn Turner, Chao, Kolmer, & Anderson, ). In maize, GWAS have been used successfully to study agronomic traits (Farfan et al, ; Tian et al, ), quality traits (Owens et al, ; Suwarno, Pixley, Palacios‐Rojas, Kaeppler, & Babu, ), pest resistance (Samayoa, Malvar, Olukolu, Holland, & Butrón, ) and disease resistance (Coan et al, ; Gowda et al, ; Zila et al, ).…”
