Article Synopsis
- The study explores the relationship between the metabolome, genome, and agronomic traits in foxtail millet, revealing 1,049 metabolic quantitative trait loci (mQTLs) and identifying candidate genes related to metabolic traits.
- It identifies 136 phenotypic QTLs (pQTLs) aligned with specific agronomic traits, with a particular focus on how the flavonoid-lignin pathway influences plant structure and yield.
- The findings suggest that integrating genomic and metabolomic data enhances predictions of agronomic traits, which is crucial for advancing molecular breeding techniques in millet.
Rice seed storage protein (SSP) is an important source of nutrition and energy. Understanding the genetic basis of SSP content and mining favorable alleles that control it will be helpful for breeding new improved cultivars. An association analysis for SSP content was performed to identify underlying genes using 527 diverse accessions grown in two environments.
