Detection of ISSR markers linked to seed oil biochemical characteristics in castor (Ricinus communis L.) through association analysis
Darvishzadeh Reza (Urmia University, Department of Plant Breeding and Biotechnology, Urmia, Iran + Urmia University, Institute of Biotechnology, Urmia, Iran)
In major crops, panels of germplasm accessions have been assembled for allele
mining at targeted candidate genes and for whole-genome association mapping
studies. A germplasm collection of 60 genotypes belong to 12 castor
accessions from six different provinces of Iran were evaluated for seven
biochemical traits as important seed oil components and tested for
significant association with the allelic profile of 16 ISSR primers. Study of
population structure as a prerequisite for association analysis showed that
there is six possible subgroups (K=6) in the studied population that also
barplot results confirmed it. Mixed linear model (MLM) were used to discover
marker/trait associations. As a result, 37 marker-trait significant
associations (P≤0.05) were identified and a maximum number of marker-trait
associations (27.03%) were identified for Stearic acid. The identified and
associated markers are expected to be useful in marker-aided breeding of high
oil content genotypes in castor.
