Tracing domestication traits (shattering and plant growth habit) in an interspecific lentil population: LR-68

Growth habit and shattering are significant agronomic traits associated with domestication. A lentil interspecific population (LR-68) derived from the cross IG 72643 (L. orientalis) x 3339-3 (L. culinaris), was grown at the Preston, Sutherland, and SPG field sites in 2018 and 2019. Phenology, plant architecture, lodging, shattering, and biomass were recorded. This population has been genotyped and mapped using a genotyping-by-sequencing approach. QTLs and candidate genes underlying these traits have been identified on chromosomes 4 and 7.
