This study presents a genome-wide marker design workflow for onions, which is applied in a high-throughput genotyping method using target amplicon sequencing. The efficiency of the method is evaluated by genotyping F-2 populations. The results show that our marker design workflow and target amplicon sequencing are useful for genome-wide genotyping of onions. However, there are missing or sparse marker regions in the resulting genetic linkage map, which need further improvement.
Onions are one of the most widely cultivated vegetables worldwide; however, the development and utilization of molecular markers have been limited because of the large genome of this plant. We present a genome-wide marker design workflow for onions and its application in a high-throughput genotyping method based on target amplicon sequencing. The efficiency of the method was evaluated by genotyping of F-2 populations. In the marker design workflow, unigene and genomic sequence data sets were constructed, and polymorphisms between parental lines were detected through transcriptome sequence analysis. The positions of polymorphisms detected in the unigenes were mapped onto the genome sequence, and primer sets were designed. In total, 480 markers covering the whole genome were selected. By genotyping an F-2 population, 329 polymorphic sites were obtained from the estimated positions or the flanking sequences. However, missing or sparse marker regions were observed in the resulting genetic linkage map. We modified the markers to cover these regions by genotyping the other F-2 populations. The grouping and order of markers on the linkages were similar across the genetic maps. Our marker design workflow and target amplicon sequencing are useful for genome-wide genotyping of onions owing to their reliability, cost effectiveness, and flexibility.
