Development and validation of a high-density 'Amahysnp' genotyping array in grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Grain amaranth has recently gained global attention as a promising crop alternative to traditional cereals due to its nutritional value and adaptability to various growing conditions. Although gene banks conserve extensive collections of amaranth germplasm, the genomic and phenotypic characterization of these resources is limited, which hinders their full utilization in breeding programs. A major challenge is the lack of high-throughput genotyping assays essential for comprehensive genomic characterization and trait mapping. High-density SNP arrays have become standard tools for genome-wide analysis across multiple loci, enabling molecular breeding across a range of crop species.

Results

In this study, we developed a 64 K high-throughput SNP genotyping array named
