Construction of a High-Density Paulownia Genetic Map and QTL Mapping of Important Phenotypic Traits Based on Genome Assembly and Whole-Genome Resequencing.

ABSTRACT: Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping based on a genetic map is a very effective method of marker-assisted selection in breeding, and whole-genome resequencing is one of the useful methods to obtain high-density genetic maps. In this study, the hybrid assembly of Illumina, PacBio, and chromatin interaction mapping data was used to construct high-quality chromosomal genome sequences of Paulownia fortunei, with a size of 476.82 Mb, a heterozygosity of 0.52%, and a contig and scaffold N50s of 7.81 Mb and 21.81 Mb, respectively. Twenty scaffolds with a total length of 437.72 Mb were assembled into 20 pseudochromosomes. Repeat sequences with a total length of 243.96 Mb accounted for 51.16% of the entire genome. In all, 26,903 protein-coding gene loci were identified, and 26,008 (96.67%)
