Heterozygous Single Nucleotide Polymorphic Loci in Haploid Gametophytes of Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis (Rhodophyta).

ABSTRACT: Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis is an important commercial macroalga. Whole-genome resequencing was conducted to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in parental gametophytes and 60 F₁ gametophytes of Gp. lemaneiformis in this study, and 9,989 SNPs located in nonrepetitive sequences were obtained. Among these SNPs, 92.02% of loci were identified as having a heterozygous genotype in at least one gametophyte, and 48.07% of loci had identical heterozygous genotypes in the 62 gametophytes. For each gametophyte, the proportions of homozygous and heterozygous loci ranged between 13.74 and 21.61% (mean of 17.04%) and between 66.36 and 83.59% (mean of 77.12%), respectively. The remainder were missing loci, representing an average 5.84%. Sources of heterozygous SNPs
