Targeted amplicon sequencing + nextgeneration sequencing–based bulked segregant analysis identified genetic loci associated with preharvest sprouting tolerance in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum)

Common buckwheat (2n = 2x = 16) is an outcrossing pseudocereal whose seeds contain abundant nutrients and potential antioxidants. As these beneficial compounds are damaged by preharvest sprouting (PHS) and PHS is likely to increase with global warming, it is important to find efficient ways to develop new PHS-tolerant lines.
