The wheat Diverse MAGIC platform: Community Access to Resources, Protocols and Tools
Lead Research Organisation:
National Institute of Agricultural Botany
Department Name: Centre for Research
Abstract
Context
Wheat is the UK's most important crop, covering 1.6 million hectares and with an annual harvest worth £1.6 billion. Globally, demand for wheat is rising rapidly: it is estimated that by 2050, yield must rise by 60%. The best way to achieve gains in the key wheat breeding targets is to develop improved varieties. The ongoing revolution in genetic and molecular tools for wheat breeding is poised to deliver step changes in wheat genetic gain. However, comparatively little investment has been focused on the development of suitable biological resources to best take advantage of these tools.
This project builds on previous publicly-funded investment in a state-of-the-art wheat biological platform: the Multiparent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross (MAGIC) population (termed, 'Diverse MAGIC'). Created over four years by inter-crossing 16 UK wheat varieties over multiple generations, the resulting population of over 600 lines represents a unique resource within the UK and worldwide. By capturing large amounts of genetic variation (from the 16 parents) and efficiently reshuffling these over multiple generations of crossing, the population is well placed to serve as a central resource for a broad spectrum of the UK wheat bioscience community.
Aims and objectives
This project brings together expertise from the plant and animal MAGIC sectors, to develop Diverse MAGIC into an integrated community platform for wheat genetics and breeding. This will be achieved by developing Diverse MAGIC resources, tools and community engagement programs that will enable effective use of Diverse MAGIC within the UK community. Specifically, it will:
1) Enlarge the Diverse MAGIC population to 800 lines.
2) Provide access to Diverse MAGIC seed.
3) Establish a catalogue of genetic and phenotypic variation present in the 16 MAGIC parents.
4) Provide baseline field phenotype and high-density genotype data on the whole population.
5) Develop bioinformatic and software tools tailored to wheat MAGIC.
6) Provide dissemination and training events to promote uptake of MAGIC in wheat.
7) Establish and promote Diverse MAGIC 'community phenotyping' events.
8) Collate the wheat MAGIC resources generated, and make freely accessible via the project website.
Applications and benefits
The biological and supporting resources generated by this project will stimulate new research, amplify output from existing wheat programs, and aid the translation of scientific discoveries to breeders, farmers and processors. The Diverse MAGIC resource complements existing UK wheat resources for gene validation, and will help promote collaborative research within the crop genetics sector.

Technical Summary
Multi-parent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross (MAGIC) populations represent a new generation of plant mapping resources ideally suited to community-based crop improvement. This project is based around a new wheat population recently completed at NIAB with BBSRC funding: the 16 parent Diverse MAGIC population. Using the expertise in plant and animal multi-parent populations developed at NIAB and WTCHG, this project will build germplasm, analytical and database resources around Diverse MAGIC, transforming it into a complete community resource for wheat R&D.
1) Biological resource utilization
The Diverse MAGIC population will be consolidated, and germplasm made available for public access. Phenotypic data on the parents and population will be generated using traditional and precision phenomics approaches, providing baseline datasets to pump-prime community engagement. Field trials will also serve as a community phenotyping resource, allowing third parties to collect additional phenotypic data. Dissemination and training will be provided at MAGIC workshops, in which Diverse MAGIC datasets will be used to demonstrate the analytical software and resources developed at WTCHG.
2) Wheat analysis tools
WTCHG will develop a suite of tools and software for wheat MAGIC, based around those they previously developed for Arabidopsis MAGIC. A catalogue of genetic variants between the 16 founders will be developed, the population genotyped with a high-density genetic marker array, and a high-resolution genetic map constructed. The software HAPPY will be adapted to construct genome mosaics for the Diverse MAGIC population, and software adapted to perform QTL mapping in wheat. All project resources will be made freely accessible via the project website and associated database.

Planned Impact
The immediate beneficiaries of this project will be academic and commercial groups working on the development of new varieties of wheat for use by UK agriculture. This follows from the fact that the 16 founders of the Diverse MAGIC population capture much of the genetic variation segregating in wheat varieties commonly grown in the UK. Use of the Diverse MAGIC population will help identify genetic loci containing variation that affect traits of UK agronomic importance for selection within the UK genepool. This will have a long-term beneficial impact on UK food security and the sustainable intensification of agriculture. A notable feature of the population is that it includes older UK varieties in addition to modern accessions. This means that it can detect QTL segregating between these two groups, potentially identifying favourable alleles which have been "left behind." This is not practical in association mapping panels since population structure is confounded with variety age.
Commercial wheat breeders will benefit by:
1) Markers diagnostic for linkage between individual genes or small genetic intervals and components of the traits measured on the population.
2) Release of all trait and marker data, which can be combined with their own from this and other populations.
3) Protocols and software for their own analyses in MAGIC
4) Release of seed. The MAGIC lines will be highly recombined and may have novel combinations of QTL. These lines are candidates for further assessment and for crossing.
Breeders and other stakeholders will be invited to view plots at events during which we will inform the community of the availability of these resources for their own research and breeding. NIAB is a regular contributor to events such as CEREALS: the leading technical event for the UK arable industry. We will ensure that the project is represented there and will attend in person to disseminate information.
MAGIC populations have been created or are being created for other crops and in other countries. The development of statistical and computational methods in this project will be of direct use for marker and trait mapping in these other populations. We are already in contact with the researchers and breeders involved in many of these populations. We will build on these contacts informally, through correspondence and visits, and also through the workshops organised within this project.
NIAB / WTCHG staff will benefit from exposure to complementary expertise in each other's institutes. For NIAB this will result in improved application of big-data methods to their research interests in agricultural science and genetics. For WTCHG, it will open opportunities for broader application of its statistical genetics research in agriculture and for future funding and collaboration with plant science communities.
The size of this project and the disciplines involved, encompassing statistical/quantitative genetics, molecular genetics and agronomy will provide opportunities for training of scientific and technical staff in these fields. This will occur on an ad-hoc basis and through the scheduled training courses and workshops.

Description | We have: (1) Finalised the Diverse MAGIC wheat population, genotyped it using a SNP array and by skim sequencing, sown field plots over 2 seasons to bulk up seed for yield plots, and undertaken two community yield trials. Phenotyped ca.50 traits over 2 field seasons, and finalised trials and QTL analyses. (2) Determined and catalogued the genetic variation present in the 16 parental lines via (1) exome capture, and (2) using a set of genetic markers that tag known agronomically relevant phenotypic traits. (3) Using CT scanning, determined phenotypic differences in ear morphology in the 16 parental lines. (4) Genotyped the Diverse MAGIC population using a 35k SNP array as well as via skim sequencing |
Exploitation Route | Completion of the Diverse MAGIC population will create a biological resource for use within the wheat R&D sector, both in the UK and internationally. The genetic and phenotypic characterisation of the parental lines undertaken could be used by project partners and interested parties to undertake detailed genetic analyses of the complete population. To date, various academic collaborators have accessed or are using the Divese MAGIC popualiton for wheat-based R&D, as detailed elsewhere in the ResarchFish reporting forms. |

Title | NIAB DIVERSE MAGIC GENOTYPES AND PHENOTYPES |
Description | SNP Genotype and Phenotype datasets for the NIAB DIVERSE MAGIC wheat population and its founders. The diverse MAGIC wheat population was developed at the National Institute for Applied Botany (NIAB), from whom germplasm is available (contact James Cockram).Summary of the Data Sets available here:(i) Founder_Consensus_Genotypes.calls.adjusted.txt, All_MAGIC_Consensus_Genotypes.calls.adjusted.txt: Tab-delimited genotypes of the 16 founders of the NIAB DIVERSE MAGIC wheat population and for 550 MAGIC lines, obtained using the 35k Wheat Breeders' Array. Calls were made using the Axiom Best Practices Genotyping Analysis workflow with an inbreeding penalty of 4. The released genotypes have consensus calls where multiple samples were genotyped from the same line. In addition, the genotypes at sites with no minor homozygous calls have been adjusted.(ii) FOUNDERS.tar, MAGIC_PLINK.tar: Genotypes in PLINK format of 1.1M imputed SNPs from exome capture in the 16 founders and and low -coverage sequencing in 505 MAGIC lines.(iii) MAGIC_PLINK_PRUNED.tar 55k tagging SNP genotypes of 505 MAGIC lines, suitable for GWAS(iv) MAGIC_PHENOTYPES.txt Phenotypes for the MAGIC lines and founders.(v) BASIC_GWAS.tar contains the genotypes and phenotypes and analysis scripts packaged into one file. We provide a simple pipeline for genetic mapping with these data.Once unpacked, the 'DATA' subdirectory contains the phenotypic data and the tagging set of ~55k SNP sites called in 504 inbred lines. In this directory, we include R functions for association mapping (file mixed.model.functions.r), including a mixed model transformation to remove the inflationary effects of unequal relatedness on genetic associations. Association mapping can be run on the basis of SNPs or the inferred founder haplotype dosages. To run, follow the steps in the R script example.analysis.r (this will run without modification if the downloaded directory is used as the R working directory). We also include a function for plotting the results as a manhattan plot (plot.functions.r). |

Results and Impact | NIAB run a two week intensive course in Quantitative Methods for Plant Breeding, covering relevant aspects of statistics, quantitative genuetics and population genetics. There are 25 participants every year. To date, no-one has said they would not recommend the course to others. The course has also been put on in Australia, France, India (once at ICRISAT and once at the Punjab Agricultural University) and Malaysia. We update it every year to disseminate developments and methods resulting from out own research work in MAGIC, genomic selection, association mapping and plant breeding strategy. It has resulted in a global set of new contacts, some of which have resulted in successful collaborations. |
