• Introduction to carrots and their domestication history
• Traits we are interested in mapping
• Carotenoids
• Root System Architecture (RSA)
• Part I - Utilizing Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) and
RNA-Seq to identify carotenoid traits of interest
• Part II – Utilizing 2D imaging to identify RSA traits
• Ongoing work and future directions
• Carrots are the 7th most economically
important vegetable crop in the United States
• The majority of carrot consumption is fresh market
• In 2014, on average, one person consumed 8.5lbs
(~4kg) of carrots
• Total production was valued at almost 700 million
US dollars (2.3 trillion COP) in 2013, up from 550
million in 2004
• California produces 85% of all carrots grown in the
U.S.NASS, 2014
• Historical
• Pre-900s purple and yellow carrot varieties
in Afghanistan and surrounding vicinity
• 1100 AD domesticated carrots moved into
SW Europe
• European cultivated carrots found in
Americas soon after Columbus’ first visit
• 1600s orange colored carrots frequently
described
• Molecular
• Clear separation between wild and
domesticated; Eastern and Western
• Wild carrots from Central Asia are the
closest genetic relatives to domesticated
carrots
• Domesticated carrot maintains a high level Iorizzo et al., 2013

branched, small, white

Part I
• Play an essential role in plant life…
• Light collection
• Photoprotection
• Biosynthesis of abscisic acid
• Production of strigolactones
• …and animal life
• Provitamin A
• Anti-cancer effects
• Healthy immune system
• Reduced heart disease
• Can also be used as food colorants, for cosmetics, or in pharmaceuticals
• Carrots are one of the highest naturally
occurring sources of β-carotene, an
essential vitamin A precursor
• Carrots can also be red and yellow which
contain lycopene and lutein, respectively
• Carrots have relatively few genomic
resources and the carrot community could
benefit greatly with better tools to improve
key agronomic traits
• Transcriptional regulations of genes
controlling carotenoid biosynthesis
and carotenoid degradation

• No studies to date, in carrot, have
found a direct link between a
carotenoid biosynthetic gene with
increased lycopene, lutein or β-
carotene accumulation
• Some of these mechanisms require
looking outside of the pathway to
identify potential carotenoid
accumulation candidate genes
• No studies to date, in carrot, have

• GWAS in ~300 PIs to further fine-map and analyze
linkage disequilibrium around domestication loci
• Verification of differentially expressed genes with qPCR
• Use the CRISPR/Cas9 system to knockout candidate
genes
• Utilize SNPs within candidate genes to create robust co-
dominant markers to be used to evaluate the carrot PI
collection and breeding populations for β-carotene and
lutein accumulation
• Increase breeding efficiency and genebank characterization
Part II
• Wild carrots have a thin taproot that is
highly branched
• These traits are highly undesirable in current
cultivars and heavily selected against in wide-
crosses
• There are many different carrot cultivar
shapes that are important in different
regions of the world
• Understanding RSA can improve
water- and nutrient-use efficiency
• Need an effective way to phenotype
• 2D imaging!
Create, image and genotype F2
mapping population
Adapt existing 2D software, RootNav
and SmartRoot, for carrot
Analyze correlations between RSA
traits and hand-measured traits
Identify genomic regions or genes
associated with economically important
root architecture traits
• Create new F2 mapping
population
• B493 (orange inbred) x QAL (wild from
Uzbekistan)
• n = 262
• Wash, label, sample for leaf
tissue (DNA), scan, sample for
root tissue (HPLC)
• Images as saved as JPEGs and
ready to be imported in 2D

Getting to the root of domestication traits in carrot (Daucus carota L.)

  • 1. Shelby Ellison, PhD Dec. 14th, 2015 CIAT seminar
  • 2. • Introduction to carrots and their domestication history • Traits we are interested in mapping • Carotenoids • Root System Architecture (RSA) • Part I - Utilizing Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) and RNA-Seq to identify carotenoid traits of interest • Part II – Utilizing 2D imaging to identify RSA traits • Ongoing work and future directions
  • 3. • Carrots are the 7th most economically important vegetable crop in the United States • The majority of carrot consumption is fresh market • In 2014, on average, one person consumed 8.5lbs (~4kg) of carrots • Total production was valued at almost 700 million US dollars (2.3 trillion COP) in 2013, up from 550 million in 2004 • California produces 85% of all carrots grown in the U.S.NASS, 2014
  • 4. • Historical • Pre-900s purple and yellow carrot varieties in Afghanistan and surrounding vicinity • 1100 AD domesticated carrots moved into SW Europe • European cultivated carrots found in Americas soon after Columbus’ first visit • 1600s orange colored carrots frequently described • Molecular • Clear separation between wild and domesticated; Eastern and Western • Wild carrots from Central Asia are the closest genetic relatives to domesticated carrots • Domesticated carrot maintains a high level Iorizzo et al., 2013
  • 5. Wild carrot has a heavily branched, small, white taproot Domestication
  • 6. Wild carrot has a heavily branched, small, white taproot Accumulation of lutein and β-carotene Domestication
  • 7. Wild carrot has a heavily branched, small, white taproot Accumulation of lutein and β-carotene Reduction of lateral branching and increased tap root mass/depth Domestication
  • 9. • Play an essential role in plant life… • Light collection • Photoprotection • Biosynthesis of abscisic acid • Production of strigolactones • …and animal life • Provitamin A • Anti-cancer effects • Healthy immune system • Reduced heart disease • Can also be used as food colorants, for cosmetics, or in pharmaceuticals
  • 10. • Carrots are one of the highest naturally occurring sources of β-carotene, an essential vitamin A precursor • Carrots can also be red and yellow which contain lycopene and lutein, respectively • Carrots have relatively few genomic resources and the carrot community could benefit greatly with better tools to improve key agronomic traits
  • 11. • Transcriptional regulations of genes controlling carotenoid biosynthesis and carotenoid degradation Maize – PSY, ZDS, LCYE, CRTRB, ZEP K Chandler et al. (2012) Crop Sci
  • 12. • Transcriptional regulations of genes controlling carotenoid biosynthesis and carotenoid degradation Maize – PSY, ZDS, LCYE, CRTRB, ZEP • Regulation of storage structures (chromoplasts) that act as carotenoid sinks Cauliflower - Or Lu S et al. (2006) Plant Cell K Chandler et al. (2012) Crop Sci
  • 13. • No studies to date, in carrot, have found a direct link between a carotenoid biosynthetic gene with increased lycopene, lutein or β- carotene accumulation • Some of these mechanisms require looking outside of the pathway to identify potential carotenoid accumulation candidate genes
  • 14. • No studies to date, in carrot, have found a direct link between a carotenoid biosynthetic gene with increased lycopene, lutein or β- carotene accumulation • Some of these mechanisms require looking outside of the pathway to identify potential carotenoid accumulation candidate genes Need a genome-wide approach!
