Identification of QTL related to anther color and hull color by RAD sequencing in a RIL population of Setaria italica.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is one of the oldest domesticated crops and has been considered as an ideal model plant for C₄ grasses. It has abundant type of anther and hull colors which is not only a most intuitive morphological marker for color selection in seed production, but also has very important biological significance for the study of molecular mechanism of regulating the synthesis and metabolism of flavonoids and lignin. However, only a few genetic studies have been reported for anther color and hull color in foxtail millet.

Results

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis for anther color and hull color was conducted using 400 F₆ and F₇ recombinant inbreed lines (RILs) derived from a cross between parents Yugu18 and Jig
