Population structure, genetic diversity, and GWAS analyses with GBS-derived SNPs and silicodart markers unveil genetic potential for breeding and candidate genes for agronomic and root quality traits in an international sugar beet germplasm collectio
The present work unveiled conserved genetic diversity-evidenced both genetically (by SNP and silicoDArT markers) and phenotypically- exploitable in breeding programs and germplasm curation of sugar beet. Results from GWAS and candidate gene analyses provide a frame work for future studies aiming at deciphering the genetic basis underlying relevant traits for sugar beet and related crop types within Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris.
