Identification of markers linked to Selenium tolerance genes
by bulked segregant analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana
Bulked segregant analysis is a rapid procedure for identifying interesting genes in
specific regions of the genome.
The method involves comparing two pooled DNA samples of individuals from a
segregating population originating from a single cross.
Within each pool, or bulk, the individuals are identical for the trait or gene of
interest but are arbitrary for all other genes. Two pools contrasting for a trait (e.g.,
resistant and sensitive to a particular disease.) are analyzed to identify markers that
distinguish them.
Markers that are polymorphic between the pools will be genetically linked to the
loci determining the trait used to construct the pools.
Five steps for mapping
1: Create F2 mapping population
2: Establish linkage using bulked segregant analysis
3: Identify flanking PCR markers
4: Screen recombinants by PCR analysis of a large
mapping population with flanking markers
5: Fine mapping and mutation genes identification

SSLP markers linked to Selenium tolerance genes by
bulked segregant analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana
In Arabidopsis thaliana, cross between Selenium sensitive ecotype
Landsberg ( Ler) and Selenium tolerance ecotype Columbia (Col) was
made in greenhouse.
Genetic SSLP marker nga151 was used to identify the
heterozygoteF1.
The F2 segregation was produced on MS medium including 50uM
selenate. The process of identification of genetic markers linked to Se
tolerance was performed as following:

Se sensitive is dominant and Se tolerance is recessive.
Step4: Pooled DNA preparation:
Sample A: Heterozygous F1 plant (used to generate the F2 mapping population)
Sample B: 100 Homozygous resistant F2 plants
(Aliquots 2.5ug of each individual DNA)
Sample C: 100 Homozygous susceptible F2 plants
(Aliquots 2.5ug of each individual DNA)
Step5: 22 SSLP markers for bulked segregant analysis :

Ler specific band linked with tolerant phenotype
The molecular markers ciw1 and nga280 linked
with the interesting gene. This indicates that the
mutation maps to the lower arm of chromosome 1
Fine mapping:
Although a bulked segregant analysis is a very effective way to detect
linkage, it usually does not allow determination of the order of closely
linked loci on the chromosome. It is necessary to examine individual F2
plants with markers from the region.
A small mapping population of about 50-100 individual homozygous
of F2 plants will be tested with SSLPs (Simple sequence length
polymorphisms), RFLPs (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms)
or CAPS (Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequence) as genetic
markers, which located in that region.

Calculating the Recombination frequency to find two markers
on opposite sides of Se tolerance gene which the “r” is < 5%. These
two markers are called flanking marker.
Step6: Converting genetic distance to physical distance
Recombination frequercy (r, measured in ?%)
=Recombination gametes/Non-recombination gametes X100%
In Arabidopsis, when r<10%, r=D.When r>10%,
use a mapping function:D=25ln[(100+2r)/(100-2r)]
to convert the r to D.
Genetic distance (D, measured in centiMorgan: cM)
In Arabidopsis, average length of 1cM=200kb
(10X107 basepair/500cM=200kb/cM)
Physical distance (Measured in base pairs of DNA: bp, kb, MB)
Step7: Screen for recombinants:
1000 plants will be analysised by PCR with flanking markers. The recombinants
will be used for further mapping.
The genetic interval containing the mutation is narrowed down as much as possible
by creating and analyzing new markers in the region.
Ideally, markers that are only one recombinant apart from the mutation are identified.
Step8: Identify the interesting genes
Methods for identifying the gene:
Transformation: The most direct evidence that a particular
clone corresponds to the target gene is by complementation
of the mutant phenotype by transformation with the gene.
The interesting gene is expected to be contained in one or
more of the clones contig.(A contig is a set of contiguous
clones)
High-resolution mapping to demonstrate co-segregation of
the candidate gene with the phenotype.(This methods is
used when the plant species is not easy to transform)
