SeqSNP-Based Targeted GBS Provides Insight into the Genetic Relationships among Global Collections of Brassica rapa ssp. oleifera (Turnip Rape).

ABSTRACT: Turnip rape is a multi-purpose crop cultivated in temperate regions. Due to its ability to fit into crop rotation systems and its role as a food and feed source, spring-type turnip rape cultivation is on the rise. To improve the crop's productivity and nutritional value, it is essential to understand its genetic diversity. In this study, 188 spring-type accessions were genotyped using SeqSNP, a targeted genotyping-by-sequencing method to determine genetic relationships between various groups and assess the potential effects of mutations within genes regulating major desirable traits. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) alleles at six loci were predicted to have high effects on their corresponding genes' functions, whereas nine loci had country/region-specific alleles.
