Journal Article
Development and validation of a high-density ‘Amahysnp’ genotyping array in grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus)
2025
Overview
Background
Grain amaranth has recently gained global attention as a promising crop alternative to traditional cereals due to its nutritional value and adaptability to various growing conditions. Although gene banks conserve extensive collections of amaranth germplasm, the genomic and phenotypic characterization of these resources is limited, which hinders their full utilization in breeding programs. A major challenge is the lack of high-throughput genotyping assays essential for comprehensive genomic characterization and trait mapping. High-density SNP arrays have become standard tools for genome-wide analysis across multiple loci, enabling molecular breeding across a range of crop species.
Results
In this study, we developed a 64 K high-throughput SNP genotyping array named “AmahySNP”, using Affymetrix
®
Axiom
®
technology. The array contains 64,069 high-density SNPs distributed across both genic (55.17%) and non-genic (44.83%) regions of the
Amaranthus hypochondriacus
genome. The genic region includes 8,879 genes, which consist of 4,830 single-copy genes and 4,049 multi-copy genes distributed across 16 scaffolds. These genes cover various functional regions, including exons (10.5%), introns (40.1%), 5’UTRs (1.6%), and 3’UTRs (2.9%), respectively. The AmahySNP array was effectively utilized for population structure analysis, genetic diversity studies, core development, and genome wide association studies (GWAS) in amaranth germplasm. A representative core set of 112 accessions was identified, which includes two released varieties (Annapurna and Suvarna) and 100 diverse accessions from 12 different regions, representing 12% of the total 917 accessions evaluated. Phylogenetic analysis revealed three major genetic clusters, independent of their geographical origins. GWAS conducted using 22,763 polymorphic SNPs from 540 genotypes identified 13 novel loci associated days to flowering (DTF) trait, seven of which were located within annotated genes.
Conclusions
The AmahySNP 64 K SNP chip a valuable genomic tool for amaranth research and breeding with a strong potential to accelerate its genetic improvement. It enables high-throughput genotyping for a wide range of applications, including GWAS and other genomic studies, and will significantly advance the exploration of natural genetic variations. Ultimately, this resource will empower amaranth breeders to develop improved amaranth cultivars with enhanced crop yield, resilience, and nutritional quality, contributing to global food security and sustainable agriculture.
