Vegetables are an important source of vitamins and essential compounds for human health. As a result, such metabolites have increasingly become the focus of breeding programs. Tomato is one of the most popular components of our daily diet. Therefore, the improvement of tomato's nutritional quality is an important goal. In the present study, we performed targeted metabolic profiling of an interspecific Solanum pimpinellifolium x S. lycopersicum inbred backcross line (IBL) population and identified quantitative trait loci responsible for the nutritional value of tomato. Transgressive segregation was apparent for many of the nutritional compounds such that some IBLs had extremely high levels of various amino acids and vitamins compared to their parents. A total of 117 QTLs for nutritional traits including 62 QTLs for amino acids, 18 QTLs for fatty acids, 12 QTLs for water-soluble vitamins, and 25 QTLs for fat-soluble vitamins were identified. Moreover, almost 24% of identified QTLs were confirmed in previous studies, and 40 possible gene candidates were found for 18 identified QTLs. These findings can help breeders to improve the nutritional value of tomato.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Gras-Di Snp-Based Molecular Characterization and Fingerprinting of a Turkish Corylus Avellana Core Set Provide Insights Into the Cultivation and Breeding of Hazelnut in Turkey(Springer, 2023) Yanar, Ertuğrul Gazi; Doğanlar, Sami; Frary, AnneHazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is an economically and socially important product for Turkey, the country that leads global production of this crop. The preservation of Turkish hazelnut genetic diversity and informed breeding of new cultivars are crucial for maintaining quality and crop yield stability. In this study, genotyping by random amplicon sequencing (GRAS-Di) was used to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a panel of 96 individuals representing the Turkish national hazelnut collection. The resulting 7609 high-quality SNPs were physically mapped to the Tombul cultivar reference genome and used for population structure and diversity analyses. These analyses revealed that cultivars are not less diverse than wild accessions and that 44% of the panel had admixed ancestry. The results also indicated that recently released Turkish cultivars are highly similar to each other, suggesting that diversity analysis is an important tool that should be employed to prevent future genetic bottlenecks in this crop. A minimal marker algorithm was used to select a set of seven SNP markers that were capable of differentiating the panel accessions. These fingerprinting markers should be useful for the propagation of true-to-type elite cultivars that can be used to renew Turkey's aging hazelnut orchards.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Association Analysis of Germination Level Cold Stress Tolerance and Candidate Gene Identification in Upland Cotton (gossypium Hirsutum L.)(Springer, 2022) Akköse Baytar, Asena; Peynircioğlu, Ceng; Sezener, Volkan; Frary, Anne; Doğanlar, SamiCotton originated from ancestors in the Gossypium genus that grew in semi-desert habitats. As a result, it is adversely affected by low temperatures especially during germination and the first weeks of growth. Despite this, there are relatively few molecular studies on cold stress in cotton. This limitation may present a future breeding handicap, as recent years have witnessed increased low temperature damage to cotton production. Cold tolerance is a sustainable approach to obtain good production in case of extreme cold. In the present study, 110 Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) genotypes were evaluated for cold tolerance at the germination stage. We identified vigorous genotypes with cold-related parameters that outperformed the panel’s average performance (x¯ = 76.9% CG, 83.9% CSI, 167.5 CWVI). Molecular genetic diversity analysis with 101 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers yielding 416 loci was used to select tolerant genotypes that could be important materials for breeding this trait. A total of 16 marker-cold tolerance trait associations (p < 0.005) were identified with 10 of them having major effects (PVE > 10%). Based on the positions of these markers, candidate genes for cold tolerance in the G. hirsutum genome were identified. Three of these markers (BNL0569, CIR081 and CIR202) are important candidates for use in marker-assisted breeding for cold tolerance because they mapped to genes previously associated with cold tolerance in other plant species such as Arabidopsis thaliana, rice and tomato.
