Targeted genotyping (90K-SPET) facilitates genome-wide association studies and the prediction of yield-related traits in faba bean (Vicia faba L.)
GWAS revealed promising QTLs for use in molecular breeding and highlighted new candidate genes. Interestingly, the prediction of intra-genic SNPs categorized 15 SNPs as putatively affecting protein function. Moreover, we demonstrated for the first time in faba bean that GS has the potential to unlock untapped diversity in genebank collections and accelerate trait integration into faba bean breeding programs.
