Genome-wide association study reveals loci and candidate genes of flowering time in jute (Corchorus L.).

ABSTRACT: Suitable flowering time can improve fiber yield and quality, which is of great significance for jute biological breeding. In this study, 242 jute accessions were planted in Fujian for 2 consecutive years, and 244,593 SNPs distributed in jute genome were used for genome-wide association analysis of flowering time. A total of 19 candidate intervals (P < 0.0001) were identified by using GLM and FaST-LMM and were significantly associated with flowering time, with phenotypic variation explained (PVE) ranging from 5.8 to 18.61%. Six stable intervals that were repeatedly detected in different environments were further identified by the linkage disequilibrium heatmap. The most likely 7 candidate genes involved to flowering time were further predicted according to the gene functional annotat
