Genetic architecture studies are important for identifying genomic regions associated with traits of interest. However, due to the genetic complexity of sugarcane, the practical applications of genomic tools have been notably delayed in this crop, in contrast to other crops that have already advanced to marker-assisted selection (MAS) and genomic selection. High-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have opened new opportunities for discovering molecular markers, especially single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertion-deletion (indels), at the genome-wide level. The objectives of this study were to (i) establish a pipeline for identifying variants from genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) data in sugarcane, (ii) construct an integrated genetic map with GBS-based markers plus target region amplification polymorphisms and microsatellites, (iii) detect QTLs related to yield component traits, and (iv) perform annotation of the sequences that originated the associated markers with mapped QTLs to search putative candidate genes. Results: We used four pseudo-references to align the GBS reads. Depending on the reference, from 3,433 to 15,906 high-quality markers were discovered, and half of them segregated as single-dose markers (SDMs) on average. In addition to 7,049 non-redundant SDMs from GBS, 629 gel-based markers were used in a subsequent linkage analysis. Of 7,678 SDMs, 993 were mapped. These markers were distributed throughout 223 linkage groups, which were clustered in 18 homo(eo)logous groups (HGs), with a cumulative map length of 3,682.04 cM and an average marker density of 3.70 cM. We performed QTL mapping of four traits and found seven QTLs. Our results suggest the presence of a stable QTL across locations. Furthermore, QTLs to soluble solid content (BRIX) and fiber content (FIB) traits had markers linked to putative candidate genes. Conclusions: This study is the first to report the use of GBS for large-scale variant discovery and genotyping of a mapping population in sugarcane, providing several insights regarding the use of NGS data in a polyploid, non-model species. The use of GBS generated a large number of markers and still enabled ploidy and allelic dosage estimation. Moreover, we were able to identify seven QTLs, two of which had great potential for validation and future use for molecular breeding in sugarcane.18FINEP (Finaciadora de Estudos e Projetos)FAPESP (Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa de Sao Paulo) [08/52197-4]INCT-Bioetanol (Instituto Nacional de Ciencia e Tecnologia do Bioetanol) [FAPESP 08/57908-6]INCT-Bioetanol (CNPq, Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico) [574002/2008-1]FAPESP [10/50091-4, 12/25236-4, 10/50549-0, 10/50031-1, 12/11109-0]CNPqCAPES (Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES

    In plants, flowering is a major biological phenomenon, which is regulated by an array of interactions occurring between biotic and abiotic factors. In our study, we have compared the expression profiles of flowering genes involved in the flowering pathway, which are influenced by conditions like photoperiod and temperature from seedling to heading developmental stages in two Oryza sativa indica varieties, viz., Zhenshan 97 and Minghui 63 using a expression network approach. Using the network expression approach, we found 17 co-expressed genes having the same expression profile pattern as three key photoperiod flowering genes Hd1, Ehd1 and Hd3a. We also demonstrated that these three co-expressed genes have a similar simulation pattern as temperature flowering genes. Based on our observations, we hypothesize that photoperiod and temperature regulate flowering pathways independently. The present study provides a basis for understanding the network of co-expressed genes involved in flowering pathway and presents a way to demonstrate the behavior of specific gene sets in specific cultivar

    Orientadores: Anete Pereira de Souza, Monalisa Sampaio CarneiroTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de BiologiaResumo: A cana-de-açúcar é uma fonte renovável de energia e com potencial para expansão. A complexidade genética da cana-de-açúcar decorrente de seu alto nível de ploidia e aneuploidia, aliada à natureza quantitativa da maioria dos caracteres agronômicos tem dificultado, atualmente, a obtenção de elevados índices de ganho genético através do melhoramento convencional. O desenvolvimento de marcadores moleculares e a construção de mapas genéticos podem auxiliar na elaboração de estratégias a serem introduzidas nos programas de melhoramento de forma a aumentar a eficiência dos processos de seleção e acelerar o desenvolvimento de novas cultivares. Desta forma, a proposta desta tese foi a construção de um mapa genético em cana-de-açúcar visando a identificação de regiões genômicas que controlam características de interesse através do mapeamento de QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci). Uma população de cana-de-açúcar com 153 indivíduos oriundos do cruzamento comercial bi-parental entre as cultivares SP80-3280 e RB835486 foi utilizada para alcançar os objetivos citados. O experimento de campo foi instalado em duas localidades, Araras-SP e Ipaussu-SP, usando o delineamento de blocos aumentados incompletos com 3 repetições. As avaliações fenotípicas foram realizadas ao longo de três anos (2011, 2012 e 2013). Empregou-se a abordagem de modelos mistos para análise das características fenotípicas relacionadas com componentes de produção e resistência à ferrugem marrom. Os dados de severidade à ferrugem marrom foram analisados, como uma primeira abordagem, via modelo misto linear generalizado. As estimativas de herdabilidade das características fenotípicas foram altas, variando de 0.78 (altura de colmos) a 0.92 (diâmetro de colmos), e a análise de severidade à ferrugem marrom mostrou que 66% dos clones possuem, no mínimo, 90% de probabilidade de serem resistentes à doença. Para construção do mapa genético integrado foram utilizados marcadores moleculares do tipo microssatélites (Simple Sequence Repeats, SSR), TRAP (Target Target Region Amplification Polymorphism), além de SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphims) e indels (inserções e deleções) oriundos da técnica de GBS (Genotyping-by-Sequencing). Para descoberta de marcadores baseados em GBS foram utilizadas quatro pseudo-referências: genoma de sorgo (Sorghum bicolor), genoma metil-filtrado da cana-de-açúcar, transcriptoma da cana-de-açúcar (RNAseq) e sequências do projeto SUCEST. A ploidia e dosagem de cada loco bi-alélico foi estimada através do software SUPERMASSA. Utilizando o software Onemap (v. 2.0-4) e empregando-se LOD > 9.0 e fração de recombinação 9.0 and recombination fraction <0.10, a total of 993 markers in single dose were mapped. These markers were distributed throughout 223 linkage groups, which were clustered in 18 homo(eo)logous groups. The total length of the map was 3,682.04 cM with an average marker density of 3.70 cM. Using composite interval mapping (Composite Interval Mapping, CIM) were mapped seven QTLs considering four of the 11 phenotypic traits evaluated. The results suggest the presence of a stable QTL across locations to soluble solid content (BRIX) and sucrose content of the cane (POL%C). Furthermore, QTLs to BRIX and fiber content (FIB) traits had associated markers with candidate genes, which had great potential for validation and future use for molecular breeding in sugarcane. This study is the first to report the use of GBS for large-scale variant discovery and genotyping of a population in sugarcane with posterior analysis to composite interval mappingDoutoradoGenetica Vegetal e MelhoramentoDoutor em Genetica e Biologia Molecular2010/50091-4 , 2008/52197-4FAPES
