Genetic distances and genome wide population structure analysis of a grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) diversity panel using genotyping by sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Amaranth, a gluten-free pseudo-cereal, is grown, cultivated, and adapted in diverse ecological zones all over the world. In recent years, increased attention has been paid on its nutritional eminence, particularly in terms of its seed protein, which specifically contains high levels of the essential amino acids. This important food and nutritional security crop's gene pool, which is diverse, needs to be characterized and genotyped in order to broaden its genetic base and to boost production. Genotyping by sequencing data of diverse germplasm serve useful tool for identification of important candidate genes associated with important traits of plants. In the present study, genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach was used to characterize a genetically diverse collection of 192 Amaranth access
