Genome-wide association study of turnip mosaic virus resistance in non-heading Chinese cabbage.

ABSTRACT: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) using 83 diverse non-heading Chinese cabbage (NHCC) accessions identified 42,526 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphism markers associated with turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) resistance. Seventeen associated loci were identified, along with the related genes that were differentially expressed between resistant and susceptible varieties, suggesting that they may be candidate genes for TuMV tolerance. Nine mutant genes of Arabidopsis were selected for inoculation with TuMV-GFP (green fluorescence protein) to further confirm the disease resistance of these genes. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis showed that the virus content in the Arabidopsis mutants with the homologous genes of cell wall-associated proteins, pectin methyl-esteras
