A genome-wide association study was performed on a complex mapping population for 39 traits: 9 seedling-establishment traits, 14 root and nutrient-uptake traits, 5 plant morphological traits, 4 lodging resistance traits, and 7 yield and yield-contributing traits. A total of 10 significant marker-trait associations (MTAs) were found along with 25 QTLs associated with 25 traits. The percent phenotypic variance explained by SNPs ranged from 8% to 84%. Grain yield was found to be significantly and positively correlated with seedling-establishment traits, root morphological traits, nutrient uptake-related traits, and grain yield-contributing traits. The genomic colocation of different root morphological traits, nutrient uptake-related traits, and grain-yield-contributing traits further supports the role of root morphological traits in improving nutrient uptake and grain yield under DDSR. The QTLs/candidate genes underlying the significant MTAs were identified. The identified promising progenies carrying these QTLs may serve as potential donors to be exploited in genomics-assisted breeding programs for improving grain yield and adaptability under DDSR. date: 2019-06 date_type: published publication: Scientific Reports (TSI) volume: 9 (1) number: 9334 publisher: Springer Nature Publishing pagerange: 1-16 id_number: 10.1038/s41598-019-45770-3 refereed: TRUE issn: 2045-2322 official_url: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-45770-3 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Deciphering+the+genetic+basis+of+root+morphology%2C+nutrient+uptake%2C+yield%2C+and+yield-related+traits+in+rice+under+dry+direct-seeded+cultivation+systems&btnG= related_url_type: pub funders: Asian Development Bank funders: Government of Finland projects: TA8441-Development and dissemination of climate-resilient rice varieties for water-short areas of South Asia and Southeast Asia citation: Sandhu, N and Subedi, S R and Singh, V K and Sinha, P and Kumar, S and Singh, S P and Ghimire, S K and Pandey, M and Yadaw, R B and Varshney, R K and Kumar, A (2019) Deciphering the genetic basis of root morphology, nutrient uptake, yield, and yield-related traits in rice under dry direct-seeded cultivation systems.
