A diversity arrays technology developed high-density DArT markers as a tool for efficient and rapid genomic assessment in Ethiopian Mustard (Brassica carinata A. Braun)

High-density genomic markers were developed for Ethiopian mustard
(Brassica carinata A. Braun), an allotetraploid species with a BBCC
genome, using the Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT)
genotype-by-sequencing (GBS) platform. From a redesigned 90 K Illumina
Infinium SNP array incorporating additional 30,000 B genome information,
15,515 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 15,515 silicoDArT
(dominant) markers were identified. Of these, 3,793 SNPs and 3,795
silicoDArT markers were polymorphic and were distributed across all 17 B.
carinata chromosomes (8B, 9C). These markers offer a powerful tool for
efficient genomic analysis, enabling rapid genomic screening, and targeted
breeding strategies for B. carinata.
