k-mer-based GWAS in a wheat collection reveals novel and diverse sources of powdery mildew resistance

Abstract Wheat genetic resources hold the diversity required to mitigate agricultural challenges from climate change and reduced inputs. Using DArTseq, we genotype 461 wheat landraces and cultivars and evaluate them for powdery mildew resistance. By developing a k-mer-based GWAS approach with fully...
