Genotyping-by-sequencing and genomic selection applications in hexaploid triticale.

ABSTRACT: Triticale, a hybrid species between wheat and rye, is one of the newest additions to the plant kingdom with a very short history of improvement. It has very limited genomic resources because of its large and complex genome. Objectives of this study were to generate dense marker data, understand genetic diversity, population structure, linkage disequilibrium (LD), and estimate accuracies of commonly used genomic selection (GS) models on forage yield of triticale. Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), using PstI and MspI restriction enzymes for reducing genome complexity, was performed on a triticale diversity panel (n = 289). After filtering for biallelic loci with more than 70% genome coverage, and minor allele frequency (MAF) > 0.05, de novo variant calling identified 16,378 single nucleotide p
