Tracing domestication traits (shattering) in an interspecific lentil population: LR-86

Lentil recombinant inbred lines (LR-86) derived from a cross between Lupa # 7 (L. culinaris) x BGE016880 (L. orientalis) (Fratini et al. 2007;Yuan et al. 2021) were evaluated in three replications in pots outdoors in 2016 at the USask Crop Science Field lab and in field trials in 2017-2018 near Saskatoon, SK. Days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height at maturity, shattering percentage, number of seeds per plant, and seed yield per plant were recorded. The population was genotyped and mapped using a genotyping-by-sequencing approach. Major QTLs for shattering resistance were identified on LGs 4 and 7.
