New resources and strategies for genome-wide mapping in sorghum

Slide 2
Why do we need gene-resolution mapping (or causal variants)?
More accurate marker-assisted selection, in breeding programs and
from germplasm Leverage knowledge from other crops and model plant
species
Slide 3
Genotyping- by-sequencing identified 265,000 SNP markers
Slide 4
An atlas of genomic variation in 1000 sorghum accessions
Genetic Variation: Recombination rates:
Slide 5
Mapping genes underlying trait variation using genome-wide
association studies (GWAS) * Causative A T Phenotype Tallest Taller
Tall Short Shorter Shortest p < 10 -8 p = 10 -0 Quantitative
trait locus (Candidate gene) Height T A Linked SNP G C C G Unlinked
SNP G C G C G C G
Slide 6
GWAS reveals multiple loci controlling panicle branch length
CLV1 APO1 SP1 ID1 LUG BDE1,ID1 TCP,TLK GDD 1 THE1 LOM3 DFL2 F-box
protein in rice (Ikeda et al. 2005 Dev Biol) Receptor-like kinase
in maize (Lunde and Hake 2009 Genetics) Peptide transporter in rice
(Li et al. 2009 Plant J) Aberrant panicle organization1 ortholog
Short panicle1 homolog Thick tassel dwarf1 homolog
Slide 7
Back to basics: Pigmentation
Slide 8
Testing GWAS with validated flavonoid genes The classical testa
gene B2 was cloned as Tannin1 G/T polymorphism found in GBS data
Positive control for GWAS in sorghum Wu et al. PNAS 2012
Slide 9
Mapping testa (presence/absence) in an association panel GLM
and CMLM (K, Q+K) identify the locus but not the gene
Slide 10
Synthetic associations can prevent gene-level resolution in
GWAS tan1-a allele Synthetic associations MAF=20% MAF=46% Orozco et
al. 2010 Caused by multiple independent mutations in the same
gene:
Slide 11
Gene-resolution mapping of Tannin1 GLM (Q) and MLM (K) do map
Tannin1 precisely
Slide 12
Precise mapping of Tannin1 in recombinant inbred lines One day
of scratch tests + GBS data = Precise mapping of Tannin1 Stem borer
mapping population (n=263)
Slide 13
Pericarp pigmentation in the sorghum association panel Ibraheem
et al. 2010 Yellow seed1 cloned by Chopra lab
Slide 14
Basal seedling (coleoptile) pigmentation mapped in a RIL
Arabidopsis TT8 Maize B1
Slide 15
Adult plant pigmentation (tan vs. purple) mapped in a RIL
Colocalizes with classical P locus Maps to cluster of DFR (Maize
A1)
Slide 16
Lessons learned Higher-density genotyping will yield more
useful mapping results Genotyping-by-sequencing gets the most out
of existing investments in RILs GWAS can provide gene-resolution
mapping but signals may be complex/indirect Best of both worlds:
Nested Association Mapping (NAM) Regional Mapping (RegMap)
Slide 17
Mapping climate-associated alleles in a high-resolution global
diversity panel 700,000 SNPs genotyped in 2,500 source-identified
accessions of African and Asian origin
