Abstract

Background: Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) refers to a phenomenon, in which the physiologically mature seeds are germinated on the spike before or during the harvesting practice owing to high humidity or prolonged period of rainfall. Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) remarkably decreases seed quality and yield in wheat; hence it is imperative to uncover genomic regions responsible for PHS tolerance to be used in wheat breeding. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was carried out using 298 bread wheat landraces and varieties from Iran to dissect the genomic regions of PHS tolerance in a well-irrigated environment. Three different approaches (RRBLUP, GBLUP and BRR) were followed to estimate prediction accuracies in wheat genomic selection. Results: Genomes B, A, and D harbored the largest number of significant marker pairs (MPs) in both landraces (427,017, 328,006, 92,702 MPs) and varieties (370,359, 266,708, 63,924 MPs), respectively. However, the LD levels were found the opposite, i.e., genomes D, A, and B have the highest LD, respectively. Association mapping by using GLM and MLM models resulted in 572 and 598 marker-trait associations (MTAs) for imputed SNPs (− log10 P > 3), respectively. Gene ontology exhibited that the pleitropic MPs located on 1A control seed color, α-Amy activity, and PHS. RRBLUP model indicated genetic effects better than GBLUP and BRR, offering a favorable tool for wheat genomic selection. Conclusions: Gene ontology exhibited that the pleitropic MPs located on 1A can control seed color, α-Amy activity, and PHS. The verified markers in the current work can provide an opportunity to clone the underlying QTLs/genes, fine mapping, and genome-assisted selection.Our observations uncovered key MTAs related to seed color, α-Amy activity, and PHS that can be exploited in the genome-mediated development of novel varieties in wheat.
