Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is the world’s fifth most important pulse crop. It is self-pollinated diploid (2n=14) and has a relatively large genome size of approximately 4Gb. Next generation sequencing (NGS) technology was used to genotype the ICARDA Lentil Reference set using the two-enzyme (PstI, MspI) genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) method described by Poland. This method has been shown to be capable of discovering and genotyping thousands of markers across the lentil genome. We genotyped 192 accessions from the lentil reference collection plus stress responsive lines derived from the diverse lentil collection held by ICARDA. The software package “Stacks” and in-house scripts were used to call 10,050 high quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). GWAS with the collection was tested using historic agronomic data. Associated markers will be reported and the potential of expanding the population and phenotypic experiments to improve association precision will be discussed.
