Data from: Genome-wide search for quantitative trait loci controlling important plant and flower traits in petunia using an interspecific recombinant inbred population of Petunia axillaris and Petunia exserta
A major bottleneck in plant breeding has been the much limited genetic base and much reduced genetic diversity in domesticated, cultivated germplasm. Identification and utilization of favorable gene loci or alleles from wild or progenitor species can serve as an effective approach to increasing genetic diversity and breaking this bottleneck in plant breeding. This study was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) in wild or progenitor petunia species that can be used to improve important horticultural traits in garden petunia. An F7 recombinant inbred population derived between Petunia axillaris and P. exserta was phenotyped for plant height, plant spread, plant size, flower counts, flower diameter, flower length, and days to anthesis, in Florida in two consecutive years. Transgressive segregation was observed for all seven traits in both years. The broad-sense heritability estimates for the traits ranged from 0.20 (days to anthesis) to 0.62 (flower length). A genome-wide genetic linkage map consisting 368 single nucleotide polymorphism bins and extending over 277 cM was searched to identify QTL for these traits. Nineteen QTL were identified and localized to five linkage groups. Eleven of the loci were identified consistently in both years; several loci explained up to 34.0% and 24.1% of the phenotypic variance for flower length and flower diameter, respectively. Multiple loci controlling different traits are co-localized in four intervals in four linkage groups. These intervals contain desirable alleles that can be introgressed into commercial petunia germplasm to expand the genetic base and improve plant performance and flower characteristics in petunia.
Data from: The laboratory domestication of zebrafish: from diverse populations to inbred substrains
<p>We know from human genetic studies that practically all aspects of biology are strongly influenced by the genetic background, as reflected in the advent of 'personalized medicine'. Yet, with few exceptions, this is not taken into account when using laboratory populations as animal model systems for research in these fields. Laboratory strains of zebrafish (Danio rerio) are widely used for research in vertebrate developmental biology, behaviour and physiology, for modelling diseases, and for testing pharmaceutic compounds in vivo. However, all of these strains are derived from artificial bottleneck events and therefore are likely to represent only a fraction of the genetic diversity present within the species.</p> <p>Here we use Restriction site-Associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) to genetically characterize wild populations of zebrafish from India, Nepal and Bangladesh, and to compare them to previously published data on four common laboratory strains. We measured nucleotide diversity, heterozygosity and allele frequency spectra, and find that wild zebrafish are much more diverse than laboratory strains. Further, in wild zebrafish there is a clear signal of GC-biased gene conversion that is missing in laboratory strains. We also find that zebrafish populations in Nepal and Bangladesh are most distinct from all other strains studied, making them an attractive subject for future studies of zebrafish population genetics and molecular ecology. Finally, isolates of the same strains kept in different laboratories show a pattern of ongoing differentiation into genetically distinct substrains. Together, our findings broaden the basis for future genetic, physiological, pharmaceutic and evolutionary studies in Danio rerio.</p>

The 49,890 SNPgenotype derived from genotyping-by-sequencing strategy for the NIP/9311 backcross inbred lines population
<p>Transmission ratio distortion (TRD) refers to a widespread phenomenon in which one allele is transmitted by heterozygotes more frequently to the progeny than the opposite allele. TRD is considered as a mark suggesting the presence of reproductive barrier. However, the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying TRD in rice remain largely unknown. In the present study, a population of backcross inbred lines (BILs) derived from the cross of a japonica cultivar Nipponbare and an indica variety 9311 was utilized to study the genetic base of TRD. A total of eighteen genomic regions were identified for TRD in the BILs. Among them, twelve and six regions showed indica (9311) and japonica (Nipponbare) alleles with preferential transmission, respectively. A series of F2 populations were used to confirm the TRD effects, including six genomic regions that were confirmed by chromosome segment substitution line (CSSL)-derived F2 populations from inter-subspecific allelic combinations. However, none of the regions was confirmed by the CSSL-derived populations from intra-subspecific allelic combination. Furthermore, significant epistatic interaction was found between TRD1.3 and TRD8.1 suggesting that TRD could positively contribute to breaking inter-subspecific reproductive barriers. Our results have laid the foundation for identifying the TRD genes and provide an effective strategy to breakdown TRD for breeding wide-compatible lines, which will be further utilized in the inter-subspecific hybrid breeding programs.</p>
Data from: Close kin mating, but not inbred parents, reduces hatching rates and offspring quality in a threatened tortoise
Inbreeding depression, the reduction of fitness due to mating of related individuals, is of particular conservation concern in species with small, isolated populations. Although inbreeding depression is widespread in natural populations, long-lived species may be buffered from its effects during population declines due to long generation times, and thus are less likely to have evolved mechanisms of inbreeding avoidance than species with shorter generation times. However, empirical evidence of the consequences of inbreeding in threatened, long-lived species is limited. In this study, we leverage a well-studied population of gopher tortoises, Gopherus polyphemus, to examine the role of inbreeding depression and the potential for behavioral inbreeding avoidance in a natural population of a long-lived species. We tested the hypothesis that increased parental inbreeding leads to reduced hatching rates and offspring quality. Additionally, we tested for evidence of inbreeding avoidance. We found that high parental relatedness results in offspring with lower quality, and that high parental relatedness is correlated with reduced hatching success. However, we found that hatching success and offspring quality increase with maternal inbreeding, likely due to highly inbred females mating with more distantly-related males. We did not find evidence for inbreeding avoidance in males and outbred females, suggesting sex-specific evolutionary tradeoffs may have driven the evolution of mating behavior. Our results demonstrate inbreeding depression in a long-lived species and that the evolution of inbreeding avoidance is shaped by multiple selective forces.
Images of flowers and tubers produced by potato recombinant inbred lines
<p>Recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations are powerful mapping tools in many crops but have not yet been created using cultivated potato germplasm. We crossed the doubled monoploid cultivated clone DM 1-3 with the self-compatible diploid inbred wild clone M6 to create a diploid F1 hybrid. One F1 plant was self-pollinated to generate a phenotypically diverse F2 population, which was selfed to create 87 RILs. This is the first report of a RIL population developed from a cultivated x wild hybrid in potato. Poor fertility was a significant challenge in creating RILs. Nevertheless, we generated inbred lines that ranged from high to low fertility, vigor, and tuber production. F6 RILs ranged from 98% to 68% homozygosity, based on 2884 SNP markers. Considering the phenotypic variability between the two parents and among the RILs, we expect the RIL population to be valuable for mapping traits important to the potato industry.</p>

Data from: Unexpected positive and negative effects of continuing inbreeding in one of the world's most inbred wild animals
Inbreeding depression, the reduced fitness of offspring of related individuals, is a central theme in evolutionary biology. Inbreeding effects are influenced by the genetic makeup of a population, which is driven by any history of genetic bottlenecks and genetic drift. The Chatham Island black robin represents a case of extreme inbreeding following two severe population bottlenecks. We tested whether inbreeding measured by a 20-year pedigree predicted variation in fitness among individuals, despite the high mean level of inbreeding and low genetic diversity in this species. We found that paternal and maternal inbreeding reduced fledgling survival and individual inbreeding reduced juvenile survival, indicating that inbreeding depression affects even this highly inbred population. Close inbreeding also reduced survival for fledglings with less-inbred mothers, but unexpectedly improved survival for fledglings with highly inbred mothers. This counterintuitive interaction could not be explained by various potentially confounding variables. We propose a genetic mechanism, whereby a highly inbred chick with a highly inbred parent inherits a "proven" genotype and thus experiences a fitness advantage, which could explain the interaction. The positive and negative effects we found emphasize that continuing inbreeding can have important effects on individual fitness, even in populations that are already highly inbred.
Sorghum leaf blight phenotypes for two recombinant inbred line populations
<p>Sorghum leaf blight and northern corn leaf blight, both caused by <em>Exserohilum turcicum</em>, are major diseases of sorghum and maize, respectively. Examining the genetic architecture of resistance in sorghum will lead to a better understanding of the relationship between resistance in sorghum and maize, which can ultimately enhance management options in both crops. In 2018 and 2019 we evaluated two sorghum recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations for resistance to <em>E. turcicum</em>. The BTx623 x IS3620C and BTx623 x SC155 populations consisted of 235 and 81 RILs, respectively. Resistance in both populations was moderately to highly heritable. We identified a total of six quantitative trait loci (QTL) across the two populations. Three QTL with small to moderate effect sizes were identified in the BTx623 x IS3620C population. Three QTL, including a large-effect QTL on chromosome three that explained 24% of the variation, were identified in the BTx623 x SC155 population. We compared the identified QTL with the position of northern corn leaf blight candidate genes and found eight candidate resistance gene orthologs that colocalize with the sorghum leaf blight QTL. There were also several nucleotide-binding leucine rich repeat encoding genes within the candidate intervals. Understanding host resistance in multiple species furthers our understanding of the<em> Exserohilum turcicum</em> pathosystem.</p>

Scavenging patterns of an inbred wolf population in a landscape with a pulse of human-provided carrion
<ol> <li> <span>Scavenging is an important part of food acquisition for many carnivore species that switch between scavenging and predation</span><span>. </span><span>In landscapes with anthropogenic impact, humans provide food that scavenging species can utilize. </span> </li> <li><span>We quantified the magnitude of killing versus scavenging by gray wolves (<em>Canis</em> <em>lupus</em>) in Scandinavia where humans impact the ecosystem through hunter harvest, land use practices, and infrastructure. We investigated the cause of death of different animals utilized by wolves, and examined how the proportion of their consumption time spent scavenging was influenced by season, wolf social affiliation, level of inbreeding, density of moose (<em>Alces</em> <em>alces</em>) as their main prey, density of brown bear (<em>Ursus</em> <em>arctos</em>) as an intra-guild competitor, and human density. </span></li> <li><span>We used data from 39 GPS-collared wolves covering 3,198 study days (2001–2019), including 14,205 feeding locations within space-time clusters, and 1362 carcasses utilized by wolves. </span></li> <li><span>Most carcasses were wolf-killed (80.5%) while a small part had died from other natural causes (1.9%). The remaining had either anthropogenic mortality causes (4.7%), or the cause of death was unknown (12.9%). </span></li> <li> <span>Time spent scavenging was higher during winter than during summer and autumn. Solitary wolves spent more time scavenging than pack-living individuals, likely because individual hunting success is lower than pack success. Scavenging time increased with the mean inbreeding coefficient of the adult wolves, possibly indicating that more inbred individuals resort to scavenging, which requires less body strength. There was weak evidence for </span><span>competition between wolves and brown bears as well as a positive relationship between human density and time spent scavenging. </span> </li> <li><span>This study shows how both intrinsic and extrinsic factors drive wolf scavenging behaviour and that despite a high level of inbreeding and access to carrion of anthropogenic origin, wolves mainly utilized their own kills. </span></li> </ol>
