Abstract The whole genome resequencing was used to develop single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) markers for the yellow catfish (Tachysurus fulvidraco). A total of 46 SNP markers were selected from 5550676 genotyping markers which distributed on 26 chromosomes. Of the 46 SNPs analyzed, 35 SNPs conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The observed and expected heterozygosity of these markers ranged from 0.2519 to 0.771 and from 0.265 to 0.5018, respectively. This set of markers will be of great useful for population genetics of the yellow catfish.

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus L.) is an important horticultural crop that is grown worldwide and has a high economic value. To dissect the loci associated with important horticultural traits and to analyze the genetic and genomic information of this species, a high-density genetic map was constructed based on whole-genome resequencing (WGR), a powerful high-resolution method for single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker development, genetic map construction, and gene mapping. Resequencing of both parental lines and 126 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) resulted in the detection of 178,762 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in the parental lines at a sequencing depth greater than four-fold. Additionally, 2132 recombination bin markers comprising 103,029 SNP markers were mapped onto 11 linkage groups (LGs). Substantially more SNP markers were mapped to the genetic map compared with other recent studies. The total length of the linkage map was 1508.94 cM, with an average distance of 0.74 cM between adjacent bin markers. Based on this genetic map, one locus for fruit bitterness, one locus for rind color, and one locus for seed coat color with high LOD scores (58.361, 18.353, 26.852) were identified on chromosome 1, chromosome 8, and chromosome 3, respectively. These prominent loci were identified in a region of 6.16 Mb, 2.07 Mb, and 0.37 Mb, respectively. On the basis of current research, the high-density map and mapping results will provide a valuable tool for identifying candidate genes, map-based gene cloning, comparative mapping, and marker-assisted selection (MAS) in watermelon breeding.

AbstractsHongyingzi is a special waxy sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) cultivar for brewing Moutai liquor. For an overall understanding of the whole genome of Hongyingzi, we performed whole-genome resequencing technology with 56.10 X depth to reveal its comprehensive variations. Compared with the BTx623 reference genome, 2.48% of genome sequences were altered in the Hongyingzi genome. Among these alterations, there were 1885774 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 309381 small fragments insertions and deletions (Indels), 31966 structural variations (SVs), and 217273 copy number variations (CNVs). These alterations conferred 29614 genes variations. It was also predicted that 35 genes variations were related to the multidrug and toxic efflux (MATE) transporter, chalcone synthase (CHS), ATPase isoform 10 (AHA10) transporter, dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR), the laccase 15 (LAC15), flavonol 3′-hydroxylase (F3′H), flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H), O-methyltransferase (OMT), flavonoid 3′5′ hydroxylase (F3′5′H), UDP-glucose:sterol-glucosyltransferase (SGT), flavonol synthase (FLS), and chalcone isomerase (CHI) involved in the tannin synthesis. These results would provide theoretical supports for the molecular markers developments and gene function studies related to the liquor-making traits, and the genetic improvement of waxy sorghum based on the genome editing technology.

Abstract Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) production is challenged by different biotic and abiotic stresses, among which downy mildew (DM) is a severe biotic stress that is detrimental to sunflower yield and quality in many sunflower-growing regions worldwide. Resistance against its infestation in sunflower is commonly regulated by single dominant genes. Pl17 and Pl19 are two broad-spectrum DM resistance genes that have been previously mapped to a gene cluster spanning a 3.2 Mb region at the upper end of sunflower chromosome 4. Using a whole-genome resequencing approach combined with a reference sequence-based chromosome walking strategy and high-density mapping populations, we narrowed down Pl17 to a 15-kb region flanked by SNP markers C4_5711524 and SPB0001. A prospective candidate gene HanXRQChr04g0095641 for Pl17 was identified, encoding a typical TNL resistance gene protein. Pl19 was delimited to a 35-kb region and was approximately 1 Mb away from Pl17, flanked by SNP markers C4_6676629 and C4_6711381. The only gene present within the delineated Pl19 locus in the reference genome, HanXRQChr04g0095951, was predicted to encode an RNA methyltransferase family protein. Six and eight SNP markers diagnostic for Pl17 and Pl19, respectively, were identified upon evaluation of 96 diverse sunflower lines, providing a very useful tool for marker-assisted selection in sunflower breeding programs.
