Localization of peanut genes associated with early flowering based on BSA-seq technology
To elucidate molecular mechanism underlying flowering time regulation in peanut (
Arachis hypogaea
L.)
and to screen candidate genes associated with early flowering for breeding on early-flowering peanut
this study took an F₂ segregating population with contrasting early and late flowering phenotypes in peanut as material
and constructed extreme trait bulks. Authors adopted Bulked Segregant Analysis sequencing (BSA-seq) to map the loci associated with early-flowering trait. Results showed that a total of 20 intervals significa
ntly associated with early flowering were identified in 4 genomic regions
including 23.50-98.50 Mb on chromosome A06
62.00-63.00 Mb on chromosome A07
14.00-14.10 Mb on chromosome B05
and 13.05-13.25 Mb on chromosome B08. 10 potential flowering-related candidate genes were preliminarily screened
via
Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation
Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis and multiple database alignment. Further validation combined with transcriptomic expression data ultimately identified 2 candidate genes:
