Abstract

The recent accumulation of whole genome sequences (WGS) in a large number of plant species creates new opportunities to use this information for identifying genes/quantitative trait loci (QTL) and to accelerate crop improvement. To this end, we recently developed the MutMap method (Abe et al., Nat Biotechnol 30:174-178, 2012) and its derivatives MutMap+ (Fekih et al., PLoS One 8(7):e68529, 2013) and MutMap-Gap (Takagi et al., New Phytol 200(1):276–283, 2013a), which take full advantage of WGS to efficiently identify mutant genes from EMS mutagenized plant populations. We also reported QTL-seq (Takagi et al., Plant J 74:174-183, 2013b), a WGS-based method for identification of QTL. We applied these methods to rice for rapid identification and discovery of genes of agronomic importance. In this chapter, we introduce these WGS-based methods, MutMap family and QTL-seq, and provide an overview of the genetic analyses that we expect to accelerate crop improvement in rice and other crop species of economic importance
