Abstract
The plants of the genus Physalis L. have been extensively utilized in traditional and indigenous Chinese medicinal practices for treating a variety of ailments, including dermatitis, malaria, asthma, hepatitis, and liver disorders. The present review aims to achieve a comprehensive and up-to-date investigation of the genus Physalis, a new model crop, to understand plant diversity and fruit development. Several chloroplast DNA-, nuclear ribosomal DNA-, and genomic DNA-based markers, such as psbA-trnH, internal-transcribed spacer (ITS), simple sequence repeat (SSR), random amplified microsatellites (RAMS), sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR), and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), were developed for molecular identification, genetic diversity, and phylogenetic studies of Physalis species. A large number of functional genes involved in inflated calyx syndrome development (AP2-L, MPF2, MPF3, and MAGO), organ growth (AG1, AG2, POS1, and CNR1), and active ingredient metabolism (24ISO, DHCRT, P450-CPL, SR, DUF538, TAS14, and 3β-HSB) were identified contributing to the breeding of novel Physalis varieties. Various omic studies revealed and functionally identified a series of reproductive organ development-related factors, environmental stress-responsive genes, and active component biosynthesis-related enzymes. The chromosome-level genomes of Physalis floridana Rydb., Physalis grisea (Waterf.) M. Martínez, and Physalis pruinosa L. have been recently published providing a valuable resource for genome editing in Physalis crops. Our review summarizes the recent progress in genetic diversity, molecular identification, phylogenetics, functional genes, and the application of omics in the genus Physalis and accelerates efficient utilization of this traditional herb.

Development and application of Single Primer Enrichment Technology (SPET) SNP assay for population genomics analysis and candidate gene discovery in lettuce. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1252777. [PMID: 37662148 PMCID: PMC10471991 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1252777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
Single primer enrichment technology (SPET) is a novel high-throughput genotyping method based on short-read sequencing of specific genomic regions harboring polymorphisms. SPET provides an efficient and reproducible method for genotyping target loci, overcoming the limits associated with other reduced representation library sequencing methods that are based on a random sampling of genomic loci. The possibility to sequence regions surrounding a target SNP allows the discovery of thousands of closely linked, novel SNPs. In this work, we report the design and application of the first SPET panel in lettuce, consisting of 41,547 probes spanning the whole genome and designed to target both coding (~96%) and intergenic (~4%) regions. A total of 81,531 SNPs were surveyed in 160 lettuce accessions originating from a total of 10 countries in Europe, America, and Asia and representing 10 horticultural types. Model ancestry population structure clearly separated the cultivated accessions (Lactuca sativa) from accessions of its presumed wild progenitor (L. serriola), revealing a total of six genetic subgroups that reflected a differentiation based on cultivar typology. Phylogenetic relationships and principal component analysis revealed a clustering of butterhead types and a general differentiation between germplasm originating from Western and Eastern Europe. To determine the potentiality of SPET for gene discovery, we performed genome-wide association analysis for main agricultural traits in L. sativa using six models (GLM naive, MLM, MLMM, CMLM, FarmCPU, and BLINK) to compare their strength and power for association detection. Robust associations were detected for seed color on chromosome 7 at 50 Mbp. Colocalization of association signals was found for outer leaf color and leaf anthocyanin content on chromosome 9 at 152 Mbp and on chromosome 5 at 86 Mbp. The association for bolting time was detected with the GLM, BLINK, and FarmCPU models on chromosome 7 at 164 Mbp. Associations were detected in chromosomal regions previously reported to harbor candidate genes for these traits, thus confirming the effectiveness of SPET for GWAS. Our findings illustrated the strength of SPET for discovering thousands of variable sites toward the dissection of the genomic diversity of germplasm collections, thus allowing a better characterization of lettuce collections.

Pereira R, Anjos I, Reis J, Dias C, Leitão J. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Identified Species-Specific SSR and SNP Markers, Allow the Unequivocal Identification of Strawberry Tree ( Arbutus unedo L.) Germplasm Accessions and Contribute to Assess Their Genetic Relationships. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:1517. [PMID: 37050143 PMCID: PMC10096993 DOI: 10.3390/plants12071517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
The strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.), an evergreen bush to small tree of the Ericaceae family, is a main component of the natural flora of the Mediterranean basin that also grows profusely through the Iberian Peninsula, southwestern France, and Ireland. The small edible red fruits are usually used to produce preserves, jams, and liquors, as the Portuguese "aguardente de medronho". The leaves and fruits have been used for a long time in traditional medicine, and their bioactive compounds are presently the subject of intense research. A strawberry tree germplasm collection was recently established by the company Corte Velada (Odiáxere, Portugal). A set of 50 germplasm accessions was selected for a breeding program. A next-generation sequencing project was performed, resulting in the establishment of the first strawberry tree genome assembly and further identification of 500 SSR and 500 SNP loci. Individual molecular fingerprints for the unequivocal identification of the selected 50 accessions were established based on 71 markers alleles amplified by 4 SSR and 9 SNP markers. The same species-specific markers alleles combined with 61 random amplified markers amplified by 5 RAPD and 5 ISSR primers were used to assess the genetic variability and genetic relationships among the selected accessions.

Genome-wide analysis-based single nucleotide polymorphism marker sets to identify diverse genotypes in cabbage cultivars (Brassica oleracea var. capitata). Sci Rep 2022; 12:20030. [PMID: 36414667 PMCID: PMC9681867 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-24477-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Plant variety protection is essential for breeders' rights granted by the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants. Distinctness, uniformity, and stability (DUS) are necessary for new variety registration; to this end, currently, morphological traits are examined, which is time-consuming and laborious. Molecular markers are more effective, accurate, and stable descriptors of DUS. Advancements in next-generation sequencing technology have facilitated genome-wide identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Here, we developed a core set of single nucleotide polymorphism markers to identify cabbage varieties and traits of test guidance through clustering using the Fluidigm assay, a high-throughput genotyping system. Core sets of 87, 24, and 10 markers are selected based on a genome-wide association-based approach. All core markers could identify 94 cabbage varieties and determine 17 DUS traits. A genotypes database was validated using the Fluidigm platform for variety identification, population structure analysis, cabbage breeding, and DUS testing for plant cultivar protection.
