Population Genetic Analysis of a Bread Wheat Panel from Northern and Huang-Huai Agro-Ecological Regions in China

Bread wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) is one of the most extensively cultivated cereal crops around the world. Here, we investigated the population structure and genetic diversity of a panel mainly originated from two wheat agro-ecological regions (northern winter wheat region, NW; a...

description Bread wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) is one of the most extensively cultivated cereal crops around the world. Here, we investigated the population structure and genetic diversity of a panel mainly originated from two wheat agro-ecological regions (northern winter wheat region, NW; and the Huang-Huai River Valley’s facultative wheat region, HH) in China based on a 15K SNP array. Population genetic analysis revealed that the optimal population number (K) was three, and the three groups were roughly related to ecological regions, including NW (mainly Hebei), HH1 (Henan-Shaanxi), and HH2 (Shandong). Within HH, HH1 had a higher nucleotide diversity (π = 0.31167), minor allele frequency (MAF = 0.2663), polymorphism information content (PIC = 0.2668), and expected heterozygosity (H<sub>exp</sub> = 0.3346) than HH2. Furthermore, our results demonstrated that genetic diversity decreases with the advancement of wheat breeding. Finally, inference of ancestry informative markers indicated that the genomes of the three pure groups from the three provinces (Hebei, Henan, and Shandong) of the two regions have genomic regions with different mosaic patterns derived from the two landrace groups. These findings may facilitate the development of wheat breeding strategies to target novel desired alleles in the future.
