The seed-bearing capsule of sesame shatters at harvest. This wildish trait makes the crop unsuitable for mechanized harvesting and also restricts its commercial potential by limiting the cultivation for countries that have no access to low-cost labor. Therefore, the underlying genetic basis of the capsule shattering trait is highly important in order to develop mechanization-ready varieties for sustainable sesame farming. In the present study, we generated a sesame F2 population derived from a cross between a capsule shattering cultivar (Muganli-57) and a non-shattering mutant (PI 599446), which was used to construct a genetic map based on double-digest restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing. The resulting high-density genetic map contained 782 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and spanned a length of 697.3 cM, with an average marker interval of 0.89 cM. Based on the reference genome, the capsule shattering trait was mapped onto SNP marker S8_5062843 (78.9 cM) near the distal end of LG8 (chromosome 8). In order to reveal genes potentially controlling the shattering trait, the marker region (S8_5062843) was examined, and a candidate gene including six CDSs was identified. Annotation showed that the gene encodes a protein with 440 amino acids, sharing ∼99% homology with transcription repressor KAN1. Compared with the capsule shattering allele, the SNP change and altered splicing in the flanking region of S8_5062843 caused a frameshift mutation in the mRNA, resulting in the loss of function of this gene in the mutant parent and thus in non-shattering capsules and leaf curling. With the use of genomic data, InDel and CAPS markers were developed to differentiate shattering and non-shattering capsule genotypes in marker-assisted selection studies. The obtained results in the study can be beneficial in breeding programs to improve the shattering trait and enhance sesame productivity.

Abstract Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is cultivated around the world as a vegetable crop and exhibits diverse morphological and physiological features. DNA polymorphisms are responsible for differences in traits among cultivars. In this study, we determined genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among geographically diverse radish accessions using the double-digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRAD-Seq) method. A total of 52,559 SNPs was identified in a collection of over 500 radish accessions (cultivated and wild) from East Asia, South and Southeast Asia, and the Occident and Near East. In addition, 2,624 SNP sites without missing data (referred to as common SNP sites) were identified among 510 accessions. Genetic diversity analyses, based on the common SNP sites, divided the cultivated radish accessions into four main groups, each derived from four geographical areas (Japan, East Asia, South and Southeast Asia, and the Occident and Near East). Furthermore, we discuss the origin of cultivated radish and its migration from the West to East Asia. SNP data generated in this work will facilitate further genetic studies on the radish breeding and production of DNA markers.

Abstract Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] grown locally by Japanese farmers is generically termed Takakibi, although its genetic diversity compared with geographically distant varieties or even within Takakibi lines remains unclear. To explore the genomic diversity and genetic traits controlling biomass and other physiological traits in Takakibi, we focused on a landrace, NOG, in this study. Admixture analysis of 460 sorghum accessions revealed that NOG belonged to the subgroup that represented Asian sorghums, and it was only distantly related to American/African accessions including BTx623. In an attempt to dissect major traits related to biomass, we generated a recombinant inbred line (RIL) from a cross between BTx623 and NOG, and we constructed a high-density linkage map based on 3,710 single-nucleotide polymorphisms obtained by restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing of 213 RIL individuals. Consequently, 13 fine quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were detected on chromosomes 2, 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9, which included five QTLs for days to heading, three for plant height (PH) and total shoot fresh weight and two for Brix. Furthermore, we identified two dominant loci for PH as being identical to the previously reported dw1 and dw3. Together, these results corroborate the diversified genome of Japanese Takakibi, while the RIL population and high-density linkage map generated in this study will be useful for dissecting other important traits in sorghum.

Abstract Background There are many research studies have estimated the heritability of phenotypic traits, but few have considered longitudinal changes in several phenotypic traits together. Objective To evaluate the progressive effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on prominent health-related phenotypic traits by determining SNP-based heritability ($$h_{snp}^{2}$$hsnp2) using longitudinal data. Methods Sixteen phenotypic traits associated with major health indices were observed biennially for 6843 individuals with 10-year follow-up in a Korean community-based cohort. Average SNP heritability and longitudinal changes in the total period were estimated using a two-stage model. Average and periodic differences for each subject were considered responses to estimate SNP heritability. Furthermore, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed for significant SNPs. Results Each SNP heritability for the phenotypic mean of all sixteen traits through 6 periods (baseline and five follow-ups) were significant. Gradually, the forced vital capacity in one second (FEV1) reflected the only significant SNP heritability among longitudinal changes at a false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted 0.05 significance level ($$h_{snp}^{2} = 0.171$$hsnp2=0.171, FDR = 0.0012). On estimating chromosomal heritability, chromosome 2 displayed the highest heritability upon periodic changes in FEV1. SNPs including rs2272402 and rs7209788 displayed a genome-wide significant association with longitudinal changes in FEV1 (P = 1.22 × 10−8 for rs2272402 and P = 3.36 × 10−7 for rs7209788). De novo variants including rs4922117 (near LPL, P = 2.13 × 10−15) of log-transformed high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratios and rs2335418 (near HMGCR, P = 3.2 $$\times$$× 10−9) of low-density lipoprotein were detected on GWAS. Conclusion Significant genetic effects on longitudinal changes in FEV1 among the middle-aged general population and chromosome 2 account for most of the genetic variance.
