ABSTRACT
Knowledge of the genetic basis of traits controlling phenology, differentiation patterns, and environmental adaptation is essential to develop new cultivars under climate change conditions. Landrace collections are an appropriate platform to study the hidden variation caused by crop breeding. The use of genome-wide association analysis for phenology, climatic data and differentiation among Mediterranean landraces led to the identification of 651 marker-trait associations that could be grouped in 46 QTL hotspots. A candidate gene analysis using the annotation of the genome sequence of the wheat cultivar 'Chinese Spring' detected 1097 gene models within 33 selected QTL hotspots. From all the gene models, 42 were shown to be differentially expressed (upregulated) under abiotic stress conditions, and 9 were selected based on their levels of expression. Different gene families previously reported for their involvement in different stress responses were found (protein kinases, ras-like GTP binding proteins and ethylene-responsive transcription factors). Finally, the synteny analysis in the QTL hotspots regions among the genomes of wheat and other cereal species identified 23, 21 and 7 ortho-QTLs for Brachypodium, rice and maize, respectively, confirming the importance of these loci.
