Abstract
Along with progress in sequencing technology and accumulating knowledge of genome and gene sequences, molecular breeding techniques have been developed for predicting the genetic potential of individual genotypes and for selecting superior individuals. For Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica (L.f.) D.Don), which is the most common coniferous species in Japanese forestry, we constructed a custom primer panel for target amplicon sequencing in order to simultaneously determine 3034 informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We performed primary evaluation of the custom primer panel with actual sequencing and in silico PCR. Genotyped SNPs had a distribution over almost the entire region of the C. japonica linkage map and verified the high reproducibility of genotype calls compared to SNPs obtained by genotyping arrays. Genotyping was performed for 576 individuals of the F1 population, and genomic prediction models were constructed for growth and wood property-related traits using the genotypes. Amplicon sequencing with the custom primer panel enables efficient obtaining genotype data in order to perform genomic prediction, manage clones, and advance forest tree breeding.
