Genome wide association study on development and evolution of glutinous rice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Glutinous rice as a special endosperm type is consumed as a staple food in East Asian countries by consumers' preference. Genetic studies on glutinous rice could be conducive to improve rice quality and understand its development and evolution. Therefor, we sought to explore more genes related to glutinous by genome wide association study and research the formation history for glutinous.

Results

Here, genome-wide association study was performed to explore the associated loci/genes underlying glutinous rice by using 2108 rice accessions. Combining the expression patterns analysis, 127, 81, and 48 candidate genes were identified to be associated with endosperm type in whole rice panel, indica, and japonica sub-populations. There were 32 genes, including three starch
