Parentage analysis of tea cultivars in Japan based on simple sequence repeat markers

Tea cultivars have been bred by individual selection of landraces and by crossbreeding, but the validation of the parentage is limited. In this study, we performed parentage analysis of 79 tea cultivars in Japan based on SSR markers to confirm or identify the parent-offspring relationships among the...

Sumario:Tea cultivars have been bred by individual selection of landraces and by crossbreeding, but the validation of the parentage is limited. In this study, we performed parentage analysis of 79 tea cultivars in Japan based on SSR markers to confirm or identify the parent-offspring relationships among them. The effectiveness of nine SSR markers for parentage analysis was validated by comparing them to the existing cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence markers. The former markers were detectable more alleles than the latter. Simulation of parentage analysis of the tea cultivars predicted biparental origins for 12 cultivars (‘Houshun’, ‘Mie ryokuhou no. 1’, ‘Surugawase’, ‘Tenmyo’, ‘Yamanoibuki’, ‘Harumidori’, ‘Koushun’, ‘Minekaori’, ‘Okumusashi’, ‘Saemidori’, ‘Sofu’, and ‘Toyoka’), in the first five of which candidate parents of yet-to-be-defined pedigree were newly identified. Comparisons of a total of 41 SSR genotypes confirmed the newly-identified parentages of ‘Asahi’ for ‘Tenmyo’, ‘Rokurou’ for ‘Houshun’, ‘Surugawase’, and ‘Yamanoibuki’, and ‘Yamatomidori’ for ‘Mie ryokuhou no. 1’. The maternity of seven cultivars out of the 12 was also confirmed with chloroplast DNA sequences. Uniparental origins were confirmed for 25 cultivars. This parentage analysis has improved our knowledge of tea pedigrees and will aid in the development of new cultivars.
