Аннотация: Construction of a high-density genetic map of Acca sellowiana (Berg.) Burret based on two connected mapping populationsAcca sellowiana, known as feijoa or pineapple guava, is a Myrtaceae fruit tree species native to Uruguay and Brazil.The species stand out for its highly aromatic fruits, with nutraceutical and therapeutic value.Despite its agronomically promising valuable, genetics studies on this species are limited.Linkage genetic maps are valuable tools for genetic and genomic studies, and can be employed in breeding programs to support the development of molecular breeding strategies.The lack of a high number of polymorphic markers is one of the main limitation to development saturated genetic maps.Recently, novel genotyping methods based on next generation sequencing technology allow to detect and genotype thousands of markers in mapping populations.This represents a rapid and cost-effective strategy, remarkably useful for minor species with limited genomic resources.In this study, we constructed a high-density integrated genetic linkage map of A. sellowiana using two populations, H5 ('TCO × BR' , n = 160) and H6 ('TCO × DP', n = 184), which have the same female parent.Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) approach was used to simultaneously discover and genotype single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in both populations.Two strategies were carried out to identify SNP markers: a reference pipeline using the reference genome of the closely-related species Eucalyptus grandis, and a de-novo pipeline that do not require a reference genome.After quantitative genotype calling, 5,350 and 4,227 high quality SNP markers were selected for mapping in H5 and H6 populations, respectively.The two resulting maps of populations H5 and H6 comprised 1,236 and 1,302 markers distributed over the expected 11 linkage groups.The H5 and H6 maps spanned a map length of 1,593 cM and 1,572 cM, with an average inter-marker distance of 1.29 cM and 1.21 cM, respectively.A high degree of collinearity was observed between the two maps.In addition, a large proportion of markers were common to both maps and were used to construct the composite genetic linkage map.A novel approach to estimate recombination of two connected populations is described, where the meiosis information of all individuals is captured in a single estimator using a multipoint maximum likelihood estimation.The composite map consisted of 641 SNPs markers with a total map length of 1011 cM.This composite map represent the best consensus ordering of markers, a valuable reference framework for future studies in A. sellowiana.The large number of SNPs identified allowed us to construct high-density genetic maps, molecular tools which represent a relevant contribution for future genetic research and breeding efforts in A. sellowiana.
