Genetic architecture and genomic prediction of vase life in carnation.

ABSTRACT: Vase life is a key trait for carnation cut flowers. A better understanding of the genetic basis of vase life is needed to implement selection methods like marker-assisted selection or genomic selection. Our objective was to investigate the genetic architecture of vase life and evaluate the potential of including known QTL in genomic prediction models to improve prediction accuracy. We constructed a linkage map from two segregating F1 carnation populations based on 5,412 SNP markers. Quantitative trait loci analysis detected one QTL for each of the two populations. The QTL were located on chromosomes 10 for population 1 and chromosome 11 for population 2 and accounted for 2.84 and 5.09% phenotypic variation, respectively. A genome-wide association study revealed potential genomic regions of
