Differentially evolved drought stress indices determine the genetic variation of Brassica napus at seedling traits by genome-wide association mapping

Drought seriously curtails growth, physiology and productivity in rapeseed (Brassica napus). Although drought tolerance is a complex trait, efficient phenotyping and genotyping has led to the identification of novel marker-trait associations underlying drought tolerance. A diverse panel of 228 Brass...

description Drought seriously curtails growth, physiology and productivity in rapeseed (Brassica napus). Although drought tolerance is a complex trait, efficient phenotyping and genotyping has led to the identification of novel marker-trait associations underlying drought tolerance. A diverse panel of 228 Brassica accessions was phenotyped under normal (without stress) and water-stress conditions, simulated by polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) (15% PEG stress) at the seedling stage; stress tolerance index (STI) and stress susceptibility index (SSI) values were acquired. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using 201 817 high quality SNPs identified 314 marker-trait associations strongly linked with drought indices and distributed across all nineteen chromosomes in both the A and C genomes. None of these quantitative trait loci (QTL) had been previously identified by other studies. We identified 85 genes underlying these QTL (most within 100 kb of associated SNPs) which were orthologous to Arabidopsis genes known to be associated with drought tolerance. Our study provides a novel resource for breeding drought-tolerant Brassica crops.
