ABSTRACT

A meta-analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTLs), associated with agronomic traits, fertility restoration, disease resistance, and seed quality traits was conducted for the first time in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.). Data on 498 QTLs was collected from 9 linkage mapping studies (involving 21 biparental populations). Of these 498, 203 QTLs were projected onto "PigeonPea_ConsensusMap_2022," saturated with 10,522 markers, which resulted in the prediction of 34 meta-QTLs (MQTLs). The average confidence interval (CI) of these MQTLs (2.54 cM) was 3.37 times lower than the CI of the initial QTLs (8.56 cM). Of the 34 MQTLs, 12 high-confidence MQTLs with CI (≤5 cM) and a greater number of initial QTLs (≥5) were utilized to extract 2255 gene models, of which 105 were believed to be associated with different traits under study. Furthermore, eight of these MQTLs were observed to overlap with several marker-trait associations or significant SNPs identified in previous genome-wide association studies. Furthermore, synteny and ortho-MQTL analyses among pigeonpea and four related legumes crops, such as chickpea, pea, cowpea, and French bean, led to the identification of 117 orthologous genes from 20 MQTL regions. Markers associated with MQTLs can be employed for MQTL-assisted breeding as well as to improve the prediction accuracy of genomic selection in pigeonpea. Additionally, MQTLs may be subjected to fine mapping, and some of the promising candidate genes may serve as potential targets for positional cloning and functional analysis to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the target traits.
