Abstract
KEY MESSAGE The dynamic genetic architecture of flowering time in chrysanthemum was elucidated by GWAS. Thirty-six known genes and 14 candidate genes were identified around the stable QTNs and QEIs, among which ERF-1 was highlighted. Flowering time (FT) adaptation is one of the major breeding goals in chrysanthemum, a multipurpose ornamental plant. In order to reveal the dynamic genetic architecture of FT in chrysanthemum, phenotype investigation of ten FT-related traits was conducted on 169 entries in 2 environments. The broad-sense heritability of five non-conditional FT traits, i.e., budding (FBD), visible coloring (VC), early opening (EO), full-bloom (OF) and decay period (DP), ranged from 56.93 to 84.26%, which were higher than that of the five derived conditional FT traits (38.51-75.13%). The phenotypic variation coefficients of OF_EO and DP_OF were relatively large ranging from 30.59 to 36.17%. Based on 375,865 SNPs, the compressed variance component mixed linear model 3VmrMLM was applied for a multi-locus genome-wide association study (GWAS). As a result, 313 quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) were identified for the non-conditional FT traits in single-environment analysis, while 119 QTNs and 67 QTN-by-environment interactions (QEIs) were identified in multi-environment analysis. As for the conditional traits, 343 QTNs were detected in single-environment analysis, and 119 QTNs and 83 QEIs were identified in multi- environment analysis. Among the genes around stable QTNs and QEIs, 36 were orthologs of known FT genes in Arabidopsis and other plants; 14 candidates were mined by combining the transcriptomics data and functional annotation, including ERF-1, ACA10, and FOP1. Furthermore, the haplotype analysis of ERF-1 revealed six elite accessions with extreme FBD. Our findings contribute to the understanding of dynamic genetic architecture of FT and provide valuable resources for future chrysanthemum molecular breeding programs.

Evaluation of Five Chrysanthemum morifolium Cultivars against Leaf Blight Disease Caused by Alternaria alternata at Rooting and Seedling Growth Stages. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:252. [PMID: 38256805 PMCID: PMC10820434 DOI: 10.3390/plants13020252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
During the winter of 2018, leaf blight on florist's daisy (Chrysanthemum morifolium L.) was noticed in Egypt. The disease, which was identified as caused by Alternaria alternata, was widely spread and led to serious damage for the exportation sector of this crop. Therefore, a study was conducted to better understand what can be conducted to minimize the problem in the future. Isolates were gathered and evaluated on five chrysanthemum cultivars (i.e., 'Feeling Green Dark', 'Talitha', 'Chrystal Regan', 'Arctic queen', and 'Podolsk Purple') grown in a greenhouse. The objectives were to isolate and identify the phytopathogen and detect the resistant degree of these cultivars with emphasis on the early growth stages of the crop. The results showed that 'Podolsk Purple' was the most resistant cultivar against the different isolates during the rooting and seedling growth stages. 'Chrystal Regan' was very susceptible to the different isolates. In addition, the isolate from 'Feeling Green Dark' was the strongest, which negatively affected the chlorophyll content and its fluorescence parameters besides other measured vegetative and anatomical features. The findings indicated that the best anatomical characters of the stem and leaf, like the thickness of cuticle and cortex, stem diameter, xylem vessel diameter, and thickness of epidermis as well as lamina thickness were recorded in the 'Podolsk Purple' cultivar. This study highlighted that by using the right cultivars, chrysanthemum can be cultivated during the winter season under Egyptian conditions. These results can be a part of solution to overcome the leaf blight caused by A. alternata on chrysanthemum during the early growing stages.

Abstract
Chrysanthemum is one of the most commercially important ornamental plants globally, of which many new varieties are produced annually. Among these new varieties, many are the result of crossbreeding, while some are the result of mutation breeding. Recent advances in gene and genome sequencing technology have raised expectations about the use of biotechnology and genome breeding to efficiently breed new varieties. However, some features of chrysanthemum complicate molecular biological analysis. For example, chrysanthemum is a hexaploid hyperploid plant with a large genome, while its genome is heterogeneous because of the difficulty of obtaining pure lines due to self-incompatibility. Despite these difficulties, an increased number of reports on transcriptome analysis in chrysanthemum have been published as a result of recent technological advances in gene sequencing, which should deepen our understanding of the properties of these plants. In this review, we discuss recent studies using gene engineering, genome editing, and genome analysis, including transcriptome analysis, to analyze chrysanthemum, as well as the current status of and future prospects for chrysanthemum.

A genome-wide association and fine-mapping study of white rust resistance in hexaploid chrysanthemum cultivars with a wild diploid reference genome. HORTICULTURE RESEARCH 2022; 9:uhac170.

Abstract
White rust caused by Puccinia horiana is one of the most serious diseases of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum × morifolium). In this study, we report the DNA markers associated with resistance against P. horiana via a simple approach using the genome of a wild diploid relative, Chrysanthemum seticuspe. First, we identified the important region of the genome in the resistant cultivar "Ariesu" via a genome-wide association study. Simplex single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers mined from ddRAD-Seq were used in a biparental population originating from crosses between resistant "Ariesu" and susceptible "Yellow Queen". The C. seticuspe genome was used as a reference. For the fine mapping of P. horiana resistance locus 2 (Phr2), a comparative whole genome sequencing study was conducted. Although the genome sequences of chrysanthemum cultivars assembled via the short-read approach were fragmented, reliable genome alignments were reconstructed by mapping onto the chromosome level of the C. seticuspe pseudomolecule. Base variants were then identified by comparing the assembled genome sequences of resistant "Ariesu" and susceptible "Yellow Queen". Consequently, SNP markers that were closer to Phr2 compared with ddRAD-Seq markers were obtained. These SNP markers co-segregated with resistance in F1 progenies originating from resistant "Ariesu" and showed robust transferability for detecting Phr2-conferring resistance among chrysanthemum genetic resources. The wild C. seticuspe pseudomolecule, a de facto monoploid genome used for ddRAD-Seq analysis and assembled genome sequence comparison, demonstrated this method's utility as a model for developing DNA markers in hexaploid chrysanthemum cultivars.
