Capistrano-Gossmann GG, Ries D, Holtgräwe D, et al. Crop wild relative populations of Beta vulgaris allow direct mapping of agronomically important genes. Nature Communications. 2017;8(1): 15708.Rapid identification of agronomically important genes is of pivotal interest for crop breeding. One source of such genes are crop wild relative (CWR) populations. Here we used a CWR population of <200 wild beets (B. vulgaris ssp. maritima), sampled in their natural habitat, to identify the sugar beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris) resistance gene Rz2 with a modified version of mapping-by-sequencing (MBS). For that, we generated a draft genome sequence of the wild beet. Our results show the importance of preserving CWR in situ and demonstrate the grea...
