Abstract

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is widely used to characterize genes or quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with preharvest sprouting and seed dormancy. GWAS can identify both previously discovered and novel QTLs across diverse genetic panels. The high-throughput SNP arrays or next-generation sequencing technologies have facilitated the identification of numerous genetic markers, thereby significantly enhancing the resolution of GWAS. Although various methods have been developed, the fundamental principles underlying these techniques remain constant. Here, we provide a basic technological flow to perform seed dormancy assay, followed by GWAS using population structure control, and compared it with previous identified QTLs and genes.
