Unraveling the genetic basis of Rhizobium rhizogenes-mediated transformation and hairy root formation in rose using a genome-wide association study.

ABSTRACT:

Key message

Multiple QTLs reveal the polygenic nature of R. rhizogenes-mediated transformation and hairy root formation in roses, with five key regions explaining 12.0-26.9% of trait variability and transformation-related candidate genes identified. Understanding genetic mechanisms of plant transformation remains crucial for biotechnology. This is particularly relevant for roses and other woody ornamentals that exhibit recalcitrant behavior in transformation procedures. Rhizobium rhizogenes-mediated transformation leading to hairy root (HR) formation provides an excellent model system to study transformation processes and host-pathogen interactions. Therefore, this study aimed to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with HR formation and explore their relationship wit
