Genome-wide indel/SSR scanning reveals significant loci associated with excellent agronomic traits of a cabbage (Brassica oleracea) elite parental line '01-20'.

ABSTRACT: Elite parental lines are of great significance to crop breeding. To discover unique genomic loci associated with excellent economic traits in the elite cabbage inbred-line '01-20', we performed comparisons of phenotypes as well as whole-genome insertion-deletion/simple sequence repeat loci between '01-20' and each of its five sister lines. '01-20' has a range of excellent agronomic traits, including early-maturing, and improvements in plant type and leaf colour. Eight unique loci were discovered for '01-20' and '01-07-258', another elite line similar to '01-20' at the whole-genome level. In addition, two excellent double-haploid lines derived from a cross of '01-20' also inherited these loci. Based on the quantitative trait locus association results, five of these loci were found to be ass
