Targeted amplicon sequencing + next-generation sequencing–based bulked segregant analysis identified genetic loci associated with preharvest sprouting tolerance in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Common buckwheat (2n = 2x = 16) is an outcrossing pseudocereal whose seeds contain abundant nutrients and potential antioxidants. As these beneficial compounds are damaged by preharvest sprouting (PHS) and PHS is likely to increase with global warming, it is important to find efficient ways to develop new PHS-tolerant lines. However, genetic loci and selection markers associated with PHS in buckwheat have not been reported. RESULTS: By next-generation sequencing (NGS) of whole-genome of parental lines, we developed a genome-wide set of 300 markers. By NGS- based bulked segregant analysis (NGS-BSA), we developed 100 markers linked to PHS tolerance. To confirm the effectiveness of marker development from NGS-BSA data, we developed 100 markers linked to the self-compatibility (SC) trait from previous NGS-BSA data. Using these markers, we developed genetic maps with AmpliSeq technology, which can quickly detect polymorphisms by amplicon-based multiplex targeted NGS, and performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis for PHS tolerance in combination with NGS-BSA. QTL analysis detected two major and two minor QTLs for PHS tolerance in a segregating population developed from a cross between the PHS-tolerant 'Kyukei 29' and the self-compatible susceptible 'Kyukei SC7'. We found different major and minor QTLs in other segregating populations developed from the PHS-tolerant lines 'Kyukei 28' and 'NARO-FE-1'. Candidate markers linked to PHS developed by NGS-BSA were located near these QTL regions. We also investigated the effectiveness of markers linked to these QTLs for selection of PHS-tolerant lines among other segregating populations. CONCLUSIONS: We efficiently developed genetic maps using a method combined with AmpliSeq technology and NGS-BSA, and detected QTLs associated with preharvest sprouting tolerance in common buckwheat. This is the first report to identify QTLs for PHS tolerance in buckwheat. Our marker development system will accelerate genetic research and breeding in common buckwheat.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
