Yuanjin Fang, Hua Liu, Ziqi Sun, Li Qin, Zheng Zheng, Feiyan Qi, Jihua Wu, Wenzhao Dong, Bingyan Huang & Xinyou Zhang Theroretical and Applied Genetics; October 9 2024; vo. 137; article 250 Key messageStable QTL for pod and kernel traits were co-localized on chromosome Arahy05, and an INDEL marker at 106,411,957 on Arahy05 was developed and validated to be useful for marker-assisted selection of kernel weight. AbstractPod and kernel traits, such as hundred pod weight (HPW), and hundred kernel weight (HKW), along with pod and kernel sizes, are pivotal determinants of yield in peanut breeding programs. This study sought to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) that are associated with these pod and kernel traits in peanuts. To achieve this, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, was derived from a cross between Yuhua15, a cultivar known for its high yield, and a germplasm accession W1202. The investigation uncovered stable and major QTL that are significantly associated with both pod and kernel weight and were consistently co-localized on chromosomes Arahy05 and Arahy08. Furthermore, an INDEL marker was identified and characterized in the QTL interval on Arahy05. An extensive re-sequencing analysis comprising 395 germplasm accessions led to the discovery of two principal haplotypes within a 500-kb window flanking the aforementioned INDEL marker. The haplotypes exhibited a significant correlation with the HKW in our diverse panel of germplasm accessions. Notably, the 170 accessions harboring the haplotype associated with an increased HKW primarily represented botanical varieties, specifically Arachis hypogaea var. hypogaea and A. hypogaea var. hirsuta. On the other hand, the 137 accessions associated with the alternative haplotype, which corresponded to a reduced HKW, were predominately identified as belonging to botanical varieties within A. hypogaea subsp. fastigiata. The INDEL marker located on Arahy05, which demonstrates close linkage to the pod and kernel traits, would be an efficient approach for marker-assisted selection (MAS) of pod and kernel weight in breeding programs.
