Shouvik Das acknowledges the DBT for Senior Research Fellowship award abstract: The SNP-based high-resolution QTL mapping mapped eight major genomic regions harbouring robust QTLs governing seed-Fe and Zn concentrations (39.4% combined phenotypic variation explained/PVE) on six chromosomes of an intra-specific high-density genetic linkage map (1.56 cM map-density). 24620 SNPs discovered from genome-wide GBS (genotyping-by-sequencing) and 13 known cloned Fe and Zn contents-related chickpea gene-orthologs were genotyped in a structured population of 92 sequenced desi and kabuli accessions. The large-scale 16591 SNP genotyping- and phenotyping-based GWAS (genome-wide association study) identified 16 genomic loci/genes associated (29% combined PVE) with seed-Fe and Zn concentrations. Of these, 11 trait-associated SNPs in the genes linked tightly with eight QTLs were validated by QTL mapping. The seed-specific expression, including pronounced differential-regulation of 16 trait-associated genes particularly in accessions/mapping individuals with contrasting level of seed-Fe and Zn contents was apparent. Collectively, the aforementioned rapid integrated genomic strategy led to delineate novel functional non-synonymous and regulatory SNP allelic-variants from 16 known/candidate genes, including three strong trait-associated genes (encoding late embryogenesis abundant and yellow stripe-like 1 protein, and vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein) and eight major QTLs regulating seed-Fe and Zn concentrations in chickpea. These essential inputs thus have potential to be deployed in marker-assisted genetic enhancement for developing nutritionally-rich iron/zinc-biofortified chickpea cultivars. date: 2016-04-11 date_type: published publication: Scientific Reports volume: 06 number: 24050 publisher: Nature Publishing Group pagerange: 01-12 id_number: 10.1038/srep24050 refereed: TRUE issn: 2045-2322 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/srep24050 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?hl=en&q=Genetic+dissection+of+seed-iron+and+zinc+concentrations+in+chickpea&btnG= related_url_type: pub funders: Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India citation: Upadhyaya, H D and Bajaj, D and Das, S and Kumar, V and Gowda, C L L and Sharma, S and Tyagi, A K and Parida, S K (2016) Genetic dissection of seed-iron and zinc concentrations in chickpea.
