ABSTRACT
Meiotic recombination plays an important role in genome evolution and crop improvement. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the most important tuber crop in the world, but research about meiotic recombination in potato is limited. Here, we resequenced 2163 F2 clones derived from five different genetic backgrounds and identified 41 945 meiotic crossovers. Some recombination suppression in euchromatin regions was associated with large structural variants. We also detected five shared crossover hotspots. The number of crossovers in each F2 individual from the accession Upotato 1 varied from 9 to 27, with an average of 15.5, 78.25% of which were mapped within 5 kb of their presumed location. We show that 57.1% of the crossovers occurred in gene regions, with poly-A/T, poly-AG, AT-rich, and CCN repeats enriched in the crossover intervals. The recombination rate is positively related with gene density, SNP density, Class II transposon, and negatively related with GC density, repeat sequence density and Class I transposon. This study deepens our understanding of meiotic crossovers in potato and provides useful information for diploid potato breeding.
