| 1 | Clarifying sub-genomic positions of QTLs for flowering habit and fruit quality in U.S. strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa) breeding populations using pedigree-based QTL analysis显示文摘The cultivated strawberry(Fragaria×ananassa)is consumed worldwide for its flavor and nutritional benefits.Genetic analysis of commercially important traits in strawberry are important for the development of breeding methods and tools for this species.Although several quantitative trait loci(QTL)have been previously detected for fruit quality and flowering traits using low-density genetic maps,clarity on the sub-genomic locations of these QTLs was missing.Recent discoveries in allo-octoploid strawberry genomics led to the development of the IStraw90 single-nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)array,enabling high-density genetic maps and finer resolution QTL analysis.In this study,breeder-specified traits were evaluated in the Eastern(Michigan)and Western(Oregon)United States for a common set of breeding populations during 2 years.Several QTLs were validated for soluble solids content(SSC),fruit weight(FWT),pH and titratable acidity(TA)using a pedigree-based QTL analysis approach.For fruit quality,a QTL for SSC on linkage group(LG)6A,a QTL for FWT on LG 2BII,a QTL for pH on LG 4CII and two QTLs for TA on LGs 2A and 5B were detected.In addition,a large-effect QTL for flowering was detected at the distal end of LG 4A,coinciding with the FaPFRU locus.Marker haplotype analysis in the FaPFRU region indicated that the homozygous recessive genotype was highly predictive of seasonal flowering.SNP probes in the FaPFRU region may help facilitate marker-assisted selection for this trait. | Sujeet Verma Jason D Zurn Natalia Salinas Megan M Mathey Beatrice Denoyes James F Hancock Chad E Finn Nahla V Bassil Vance M Whitaker | 2017 | Horticulture Research2017，4，1： | 10 |
| 2 | RosBREED:bridging the chasm between discovery and application to enable DNA-informed breeding in rosaceous crops显示文摘The Rosaceae crop family(including almond,apple,apricot,blackberry,peach,pear,plum,raspberry,rose,strawberry,sweet cherry,and sour cherry)provides vital contributions to human well-being and is economically significant across the U.S.In 2003,industry stakeholder initiatives prioritized the utilization of genomics,genetics,and breeding to develop new cultivars exhibiting both disease resistance and superior horticultural quality.However,rosaceous crop breeders lacked certain knowledge and tools to fully implement DNA-informed breeding—a“chasm”existed between existing genomics and genetic information and the application of this knowledge in breeding.The RosBREED project(“Ros”signifying a Rosaceae genomics,genetics,and breeding community initiative,and“BREED”,indicating the core focus on breeding programs),addressed this challenge through a comprehensive and coordinated 10-year effort funded by the USDA-NIFA Specialty Crop Research Initiative.RosBREED was designed to enable the routine application of modern genomics and genetics technologies in U.S.rosaceous crop breeding programs,thereby enhancing their efficiency and effectiveness in delivering cultivars with producer-required disease resistances and market-essential horticultural quality.This review presents a synopsis of the approach,deliverables,and impacts of RosBREED,highlighting synergistic global collaborations and future needs.Enabling technologies and tools developed are described,including genome-wide scanning platforms and DNA diagnostic tests.Examples of DNA-informed breeding use by project participants are presented for all breeding stages,including pre-breeding for disease resistance,parental and seedling selection,and elite selection advancement.The chasm is now bridged,accelerating rosaceous crop genetic improvement. | Amy F.Iezzoni Jim McFerson James Luby Ksenija Gasic Vance Whitaker Nahla Bassil Chengyan Yue Karina Gallardo Vicki McCracken Michael Coe Craig Hardner Jason D.Zurn Stan Hokanson Eric van de Weg Sook Jung Dorrie Main Cassia da Silva Linge Stijn Vanderzande Thomas M.Davis Lise L.Mahoney Chad Finn Cameron Peace | 2020 | Horticulture Research2020，7，1： | 2 |
