AbstractCassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), a key carbohydrate dietary source for millions of people in Africa, faces severe yield loses due to two viral diseases: cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD). The completion of the cassava genome sequence and the whole genome marker profiling of clones from African breeding programs (www.nextgencassava.org) provides cassava breeders the opportunity to deploy additional breeding strategies and develop superior varieties with both farmer and industry preferred traits. Here the identification of genomic segments associated with resistance to CBSD foliar symptoms and root necrosis as measured in two breeding panels at different growth stages and locations is reported. Using genome-wide association mapping and genomic prediction models we describe the genetic architecture for CBSD severity and identify loci strongly associated on chromosomes 4 and 11. Moreover, the significantly associated region on chromosome 4 colocalises with a Manihot glaziovii introgression segment and the significant SNP markers on chromosome 11 are situated within a cluster of nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) genes previously described in cassava. Overall, predictive accuracy values found in this study varied between CBSD severity traits and across GS models with Random Forest and RKHS showing the highest predictive accuracies for foliar and root CBSD severity scores.

Abstract Using imbalanced historical yield data to predict performance and select new lines is an arduous breeding task. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and high throughput genotyping based on sequencing techniques can increase prediction accuracy. An association mapping panel of 227 Texas elite (TXE) wheat breeding lines was used for GWAS and a training population to develop prediction models for grain yield selection. An imbalanced set of yield data collected from 102 environments (year-by-location) over ten years, through testing yield in 40–66 lines each year at 6–14 locations with 38–41 lines repeated in the test in any two consecutive years, was used. Based on correlations among data from different environments within two adjacent years and heritability estimated in each environment, yield data from 87 environments were selected and assigned to two correlation-based groups. The yield best linear unbiased estimation (BLUE) from each group, along with reaction to greenbug and Hessian fly in each line, were used for GWAS to reveal genomic regions associated with yield and insect resistance. A total of 74 genomic regions were associated with grain yield and two of them were commonly detected in both correlation-based groups. Greenbug resistance in TXE lines was mainly controlled by Gb3 on chromosome 7DL in addition to two novel regions on 3DL and 6DS, and Hessian fly resistance was conferred by the region on 1AS. Genomic prediction models developed in two correlation-based groups were validated using a set of 105 new advanced breeding lines and the model from correlation-based group G2 was more reliable for prediction. This research not only identified genomic regions associated with yield and insect resistance but also established the method of using historical imbalanced breeding data to develop a genomic prediction model for crop improvement.

Abstract Several reports have suggested that genetic susceptibility contributes to the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy. We aimed to identify genetic loci that confer susceptibility to diabetic retinopathy in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. We analysed 5 790 508 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 8880 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes, 4839 retinopathy cases and 4041 controls, as well as 2217 independent Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes, 693 retinopathy cases, and 1524 controls. The results of these two genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were combined with an inverse variance meta-analysis (Stage-1), followed by de novo genotyping for the candidate SNP loci (p < 1.0 × 10−4) in an independent case–control study (Stage-2, 2260 cases and 723 controls). After combining the association data (Stage-1 and -2) using meta-analysis, the associations of two loci reached a genome-wide significance level: rs12630354 near STT3B on chromosome 3, p = 1.62 × 10−9, odds ratio (OR) = 1.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11–1.23, and rs140508424 within PALM2 on chromosome 9, p = 4.19 × 10−8, OR = 1.61, 95% CI 1.36–1.91. However, the association of these two loci were not replicated in Korean, European, or African American populations. Gene-based analysis using Stage-1 GWAS data identified a gene-level association of EHD3 with susceptibility to diabetic retinopathy (p = 2.17 × 10−6). In conclusion, we identified two novel SNP loci, STT3B and PALM2, and a novel gene, EHD3, that confers susceptibility to diabetic retinopathy; however, further replication studies are required to validate these associations.
