Chrysanthemums are sensitive to waterlogging stress, and the development of screening methods for tolerant germplasms or genes and the breeding of tolerant new varieties are of great importance in chrysanthemum breeding. To understand the genetic basis of waterlogging tolerance (WT) in chrysanthemums, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using 92,811 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a panel of 88 chrysanthemum accessions, including 64 spray cut and 24 disbud chrysanthemums. The results showed that the average MFVW (membership function value of waterlogging) of the disbud type (0.65) was significantly higher than that of the spray type (0.55) at P < 0.05, and the MFVW of the Asian accessions (0.65) was significantly higher than that of the European accessions (0.48) at P < 0.01. The GWAS performed using the general linear model (GLM) and mixed linear model (MLM) identified 137 and 14 SNP loci related to WT, respectively, and 11 associations were commonly predicted. By calculating the phenotypic effect values for 11 common SNP loci, six highly favorable SNP alleles that explained 12.85-21.85% of the phenotypic variations were identified. Furthermore, the dosage-pyramiding effects of the favorable alleles and the significant linear correlations between the numbers of highly favorable alleles and phenotypic values were identified (r 2 = 0.45; P < 0.01). A major SNP locus (Marker6619-75) was converted into a derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (dCAPS) marker that cosegregated with WT with an average efficiency of 78.9%. Finally, four putative candidate genes in the WT were identified via quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The results presented in this study provide insights for further research on WT mechanisms and the application of molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS) in chrysanthemum WT breeding programs.

ADMIXTURE (tool)

RRID:SCR_001263

A software tool for maximum likelihood estimation of individual ancestries from multilocus SNP genotype datasets. It uses the same statistical model as STRUCTURE but calculates estimates much more rapidly using a fast numerical optimization algorithm. It uses a block relaxation approach to alternately update allele frequency and ancestry fraction parameters. Each block update is handled by solving a large number of independent convex optimization problems, which are tackled using a fast sequential quadratic programming algorithm. Convergence of the algorithm is accelerated using a novel quasi-Newton acceleration method.

BLASTX (tool)

RRID:SCR_001653

Web application to search protein databases using a translated nucleotide query. Translated BLAST services are useful when trying to find homologous proteins to a nucleotide coding region. Blastx compares translational products of the nucleotide query sequence to a protein database. Because blastx translates the query sequence in all six reading frames and provides combined significance statistics for hits to different frames, it is particularly useful when the reading frame of the query sequence is unknown or it contains errors that may lead to frame shifts or other coding errors. Thus blastx is often the first analysis performed with a newly determined nucleotide sequence and is used extensively in analyzing EST sequences. This search is more sensitive than nucleotide blast since the comparison is performed at the protein level.

TASSEL (tool)

RRID:SCR_012837

Software package which performs a variety of genetic analyses including association mapping, diversity estimation and calculating linkage disequilibrium. The association analysis between genotypes and phenotypes can be performed by either a general linear model or a mixed linear model. The general linear model now allows users to analyze complex field designs, environmental interactions, and epistatic interactions. The mixed model is specially designed to handle polygenic effects at multiple levels of relatedness including pedigree information. These new analyses should permit association analysis in a wide range plant and animal species. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)
