A High-Density SNP Genetic Map Construction Using ddRAD-Seq and Mapping of Capsule Shattering Trait in Sesame.

ABSTRACT: The seed-bearing capsule of sesame shatters at harvest. This wildish trait makes the crop unsuitable for mechanized harvesting and also restricts its commercial potential by limiting the cultivation for countries that have no access to low-cost labor. Therefore, the underlying genetic basis of the capsule shattering trait is highly important in order to develop mechanization-ready varieties for sustainable sesame farming. In the present study, we generated a sesame F₂ population derived from a cross between a capsule shattering cultivar (Muganli-57) and a non-shattering mutant (PI 599446), which was used to construct a genetic map based on double-digest restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing. The resulting high-density genetic map contained 782 single-nucleotide polymorphism
