GWAS and genomic prediction for pre-harvest sprouting tolerance involving sprouting score and two other related traits in spring wheat.

ABSTRACT: In wheat, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and genomic prediction (GP) analysis were conducted for pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) tolerance and two of its related traits. For this purpose, an association panel of 190 accessions was phenotyped for PHS (using sprouting score), falling number, and grain color over two years and genotyped with 9904 DArTseq based SNP markers. GWAS for main-effect quantitative trait nucleotides (M-QTNs) using three different models (CMLM, SUPER, and FarmCPU) and epistatic QTNs (E-QTNs) using PLINK were performed. A total of 171 M-QTNs (CMLM, 47; SUPER, 70; FarmCPU, 54) for all three traits, and 15 E-QTNs involved in 20 first-order epistatic interactions were identified. Some of the above QTNs overlapped the previously reported QTLs, MTAs, and cloned genes, al
