Genome-Wide Association Study of Major Agronomic Traits in Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica L.) Using ddRAD Sequencing

Abstract Foxtail millet (Setaria italica), the second largest cultivated millet crop after pearl millet, is utilized for food and forage globally. Further, it is also considered as a model crop for studying agronomic, nutritional and biofuel traits. In the present study, a genome-wide association st...

Further, it is also considered as a model crop for studying agronomic, nutritional and biofuel traits. In the present study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed for ten important agronomic traits in 142 foxtail millet core eco-geographically diverse genotypes using 10 K SNPs developed through GBS-ddRAD approach. Number of SNPs on individual chromosome ranged from 844 (chromosome 5) to 2153 (chromosome 8) with an average SNP frequency of 25.9 per Mb.

High confidence MTAs for three important agronomic traits including FLW (flag leaf width), GY (grain yield) and TGW (thousand-grain weight) were identified. Significant pyramiding effect of identified MTAs further supplemented its importance in breeding programs.
