O Departamento de Genética da Escola Superior de Agricultura \"Luiz de Queiroz\" - ESALQ/USP possui um banco de germoplasma de arroz com aproximadamente 460 acessos, oriundos de diferentes instituições de pesquisa do Brasil e do mundo. Desses, cerca de 190 acessos pertenciam ao Japão, 142 são de origem Filipina e os demais são variedades crioulas e cultivares brasileiras. Tais acessos estão passando por uma extensa pesquisa científica afim de obter informações a respeito de sua origem, diversidade e estruturação genética. Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a diversidade genética e fazer uma análise de associação genômica ampla (GWAS) de características diversas dos acessos, a fim de conhecer a diversidade e estrutura genética dos mesmos e as regiões genômicas responsáveis pelo controle de características que poderiam ser utilizadas em programas de melhoramento. A genotipagem foi realizada utilizando marcadores SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polimorfism) gerados por meio da tecnologia DArTseq (Diversity Arrays Sequence) de genotipagem por sequenciamento (GBS). A Diversidade genética da população foi analisada por meio do pacote \"hierfstat\", implementado no Software R, onde foram utilizados 269 acessos (os acessos de origem Filipina e Brasileira). Para as análises de associação foram utilizados os 142 acessos filipinos. A instalação dos experimentos de caracterização fenotípica foi realizada em áreas de cultivo de sequeiro, na área experimental do Departamento de Genética da ESALQ/USP em dois anos agrícolas. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos aumentados, sendo realizados os tratos culturais recomendados para a cultura. Os acessos foram caracterizados de acordo com descritores indicados pelo IBPGR - IRRI (Rice Advisory Committee). Os caracteres avaliados foram: Número de dias para a emergência (NDE); Número de dias para o florescimento (NDF); Ciclo total da planta (CTP); Massa de cem sementes (MCS); Produtividade de grãos (PG); Comprimento do colmo (CC); Número de Perfilhos (NP); Comprimento e Largura da folha bandeira (CFB e LFB); Altura de planta na maturidade (APM); Comprimento da Panícula (CP); Comprimento e largura da espigueta (CE e LE); Número de ramificações por panícula (NRP). Os dados coletados foram analisados através do software R (R DEVELOPMENT CORE TEAM, 2018). O Banco de Germoplasma de arroz da ESALQ/USP é uma potencial e importante fonte de acessos que podem ser incorporados aos programas de melhoramento, haja vista, o número de acessos e a diversidade genética existente. Não foram identificadas duplicatas entre os acessos avaliados, sendo assim justificável manter-se todos eles na coleção nuclear do Banco. A Análise Discriminante dos Componentes Principais (DAPC) sugeriu a formação de 5 subgrupos genéticos principais na população de estudo de diversidade genética, já a população estudada para análise de associação pode ser subdividida em 3 grupos em função da análise de componentes principais e foram identificados 33 SNP´s associados a oito caracteres quantitativos avaliados nos acessos. A tecnologia de genotipagem por sequenciamento como a DarT-seq mostrou grande eficiência no estudo de diversidade genética e no estudo de associação genômica ampla nos genótipos de arroz testados. / The Department of Genetics of the \"Luiz de Queiroz\" College of Agriculture - ESALQ / USP has a rice germplasm bank with approximately 460 accessions, coming from different research institutions in Brazil and the world. Of these, about 190 accessions belonged to Japan, 142 are of Filipino origin and the others are Creole varieties and Brazilian cultivars. Such accesses are undergoing extensive scientific research in order to obtain information regarding their origin, diversity and genetic structuring. The objective of this work was to study genetic diversity and to perform an analysis of broad genomic association (GWAS) of different characteristics of the accessions, in order to know the diversity and genetic structure of the same and to know genomic regions responsible for the control of characteristics that could be used in breeding programs. Genotyping was performed using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) generated by sequencing genotyping (GBS) DArTseq (Diversity Arrays Sequence) technology. The genetic diversity of the population was analyzed through the \"hierfstat\" package, implemented in Software R, where 269 accessions (the accesses of Philippine and Brazilian origin) were used. For the analysis of association, the 142 Filipino accessions were used. The establishment of the phenotypic characterization experiments was carried out in rainfed areas, at the experimental farm of the Department of Genetics of ESALQ / USP, in two agricultural years. The experimental design was of increased blocks, being the cultural treatments recommended for the culture. The accesses were characterized according to descriptors indicated by IBPGR - IRRI (Rice Advisory Committee). The evaluated characters were: Number of days for the emergency (NDE); Number of days for flowering (NDF); Total plant cycle (CTP); One hundred seed mass (MCS); Grain yield (PG); Height of high (CC); Number of Profiles (NP); Length and width of the flag leaf (CFB and LFB); Height of plant at maturity (APM); Panicle Length (CP); Length and width of the spikelet (CE and LE); Number of branches per panicle (NRP). The collected data were analyzed through the software R (R DEVELOPMENT CORE TEAM, 2018). The Rice Germplasm Bank of ESALQ / USP is a potential and important source of access that can be incorporated into breeding programs, presence, number of hits and a possible genetic model. No duplicates were used between the accesses evaluated and thus justified. The Principal Components Discriminant Analysis (DAPC) suggested the formation of 5 major genetic subgroups in its genetic study series, already the population studied for analysis of association can be subdivided into 3 groups as a function of the analysis of main components and 33 SNP\'s associated to eight quantitative traits evaluated in the accessions were identified. Sequencing genotyping technology such as DarT-seq showed great efficiency in the study of genetic diversity and in the study of broad genomic association in the tested rice genotypes.

Um dos desafios atuais da pesquisa em frutíferas tropicais é incorporar abordagens baseadas em marcadores moleculares nos programas convencionais de melhoramento. O maracujá-doce (Passiflora alata) é uma espécie diploide, de fecundação cruzada e pouco explorada. Recentemente, nosso grupo construiu um mapa de ligação de P. alata composto de diferentes tipos de marcadores moleculares. Além disso, dispõe-se de um conjunto de transcritos de Passiflora edulis, obtidos a partir de duas bibliotecas de expressão: forward e reverse onde foram isolados transcritos diferencialmente expressos na planta inoculada com Xanthomonas axonopodis (Xap) (672) e na planta controle, não inoculada (310), respectivamente. Assim, neste estudo, este conjunto de transcritos foi explorado visando ao desenvolvimento de marcadores SSR e SNP com o intuito de enriquecer, posteriormente, o mapa de ligação de P. alata com marcadores funcionais putativos. Para o desenvolvimento dos marcadores SSRs, as 672 sequências da biblioteca forward foram investigadas e em 91 delas foram encontrados 115 SSRs. Como esperado, a classe de repetições trinucleotídicas foi a mais abundante, sendo o motivo (AG)n o mais comum entre as repetições dinucleotídicas. Desenhou-se primers para amplificar 42 desses SSRs. Dois acessos de P. edulis e seis indivíduos da população de mapeamento de P. alata foram usados nos testes de transferibilidade e avaliação do polimorfismo. Trinta e quatro pares de primers apresentaram bom padrão de amplificação, porém apenas 10 deles revelaram polimorfismo em P. alata. Para o desenvolvimento dos marcadores SNPs, 118 sequências selecionadas das bibliotecas de expressão forward e reverse foram usadas para o desenho de primers; 37 delas foram usadas para avaliar o polimorfismo no mesmo set de indivíduos de P. alata. Foram encontrados 34 locos contendo SNPs bialélicos em 16 fragmentos gênicos, cujas sequencias variaram em tamanho de 332 a 872 pb. Considerando todos os fragmentos gênicos (16), foi analisado um total de 10.003 pb; a frequência de SNPs foi estimada como sendo 1 a cada 294 pb. Observou-se a mesma ocorrência de SNPs (50%, 17/34) em regiões codantes e não-codantes. Uma função putativa pôde ser atribuída a todos os fragmentos gênicos de P. alata, sendo que 82% mostraram homologia com as mesmas proteínas das sequências de origem, isoladas de P. edulis. No geral, os locos marcadores apresentaram baixo nível de polimorfismo molecular. Este é o primeiro trabalho sobre o desenvolvimento de locos marcadores funcionais putativos em Passiflora usando transcritos expressos em resposta à Xap. / One of the current challenges of tropical fruit research is to incorporate molecular marker-based approaches into conventional breeding programs. The sweet passion fruit (Passiflora alata) is a diploid, outcrossing and underexploited species. Recently, our group has constructed a P. alata linkage map consisted of different types of molecular markers. Moreover, we have a set of transcripts of Passiflora edulis obtained from two expression libraries: the forward and the reverse where differentially expressed transcripts were isolated from a plant inoculated with Xanthomonas axonopodis (Xap) (672), and from the control plant, uninoculated (310), respectively. Thus, in this study, this set of transcripts were exploited aiming at the development of SNP and SSR markers for future enrichment of the P. alata linkage map with putative functional markers. For the development of SSR markers, the 672 sequences from the forward library were investigated and 91 of them were found to have 115 SSRs. As expected, the trinucleotide class of repeats was the most abundant, and the (AG)n motif was the most common among the dinucleotide repeats. Primers were designed to amplify 42 of these SSRs. Transferability tests and polymorphism investigation were carried out using two accessions of P. edulis and six individuals of the mapping population of P. alata. Thirty-four primer pairs showed a good amplification pattern but only 10 loci revealed polymorphism in P. alata. For the development of SNP markers, 118 sequences selected from forward and reverse expression libraries were used for designing primers; 37 were used to assess the polymorphism in the same set of individuals of P. alata. Thirty-four biallelic SNPs were found in 16 gene fragment sequences that ranged in size from 332 to 872 bp. Considering all gene fragments, a total of 10,003 bp was obtained; the frequency of SNPs was estimated to be 1 every 294 bp. The same prevalence of SNPs (50%, 17/34) was observed within coding and non-coding regions. A putative function was assigned to all gene fragments of P. alata; 82% of them have shown homology to the original protein sequences isolated from P. edulis. Overall, the marker loci showed a low level of molecular polymorphism. This is the first report on the development of putative functional marker loci in Pasiflora using transcripts induced in response to Xap.

The use of resistant cultivars is an efficient tool to control this disease. However, the wide variability of C. lindemuthianum is a challenge for breeding programs. The pyramiding of different resistance alleles is a recommended strategy aiming to effective and durable resistance. Fourteen resistance loci to common bean anthracnose have been identified and described so far: Co-1, Co-2, Co-3, Co-4, Co-5, Co-6, co-8, Co-11, Co- 12, Co-13, Co-14, Co-15, Co16, and Co-17. This work has aimed to: (1) evaluate common bean resistance source based on their reaction to anthracnose in controlled environment and on the molecular analysis with molecular markers previously identified as linked to resistance loci; (2) test the allelic relationship among the anthracnose resistance loci present in the carioca seeded cultivars BRS Horizonte and BRS Cometa; and (3) study the genetic inheritance and mapping the anthracnose resistance in BRS Cometa. The phenotypic screening of the population F2 BRS Horizonte × BRS Cometa and F2 and F2:3 Rosinha G2 × BRS Cometa were carried out using the C. lindemuthianum pathotypes 89 and 91, respectively. The phenotypic and molecular characterization of 26 common bean lines were performed using two pathotypes (races 73 and 81) and seven SCAR and one STS markers. The evaluation of the reaction to disease was carried out using a 1-to-9 scale (resistant = 1 to 3, and susceptible = 4 to 9). The genotyping of the 104 F2 plants from the Rosinha G2 × BRS Cometa cross with SNP markers was carried out using the BARBean6K_3 Illumina Bead Chip on the Illumina Infinium HD Assay Ultra® genotyping platform. The genomic regions flanking the SNP markers were aligned against the reference genome of Phaseolus vulgaris, Andean variety (G19833) and Mesoamerican variety (BAT 93), using the BLASTN tool. As result from the phenotypic characterization, BRS Cometa and other thirteen common bean lines have been considered resistant to the races 73 and 81. The molecular characterization result has indicated that the resistance to anthracnose in BRS Cometa can be controlled by the Co-3 or other resistance locus in the chromosome Pv04, since BRS Cometa has showed amplification only for markers linked to the Co-3. Results from the phenotyping of the F2BRS Horizonte × BRS Cometa population indicated that the segregation ratio for the resistance to anthracnose has fit to the expected ratio of 15R_:1rr ( 2 = 1.24% and P = 26.41%). The segregation ratios in the F2 and F2:3 Rosinha G2 × BRS Cometa population has fit to expected ratio of 3R_:1rr ( 2 = 0.40% and P = 50.50%) and 1RR:2Rr:1rr ( 2 = 0.0% and P = 100%), respectively, indicating that the resistance to anthracnose in BRS Cometa is monogenic and dominant. The anthracnose resistance locus in BRS Cometa (Co-Cometa) was mapped on Pv04. Based on the genetic and physical distances observed between Co-Cometa and other resistance loci already described in Pv04 (Co-3, Co-15 and Co-16), the evidences indicate that Co-Cometa is a different locus. / A antracnose do feijoeiro, causada pelo fungo Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, é uma das principais doenças que impacta negativamente a produtividade da cultura. Para o manejo dessa doença, a utilização de cultivares resistentes é uma ferramenta eficiente. Porém, a ampla variabilidade de C. lindemuthianum representa um desafio para os programas de melhoramento genético. Deste modo, a piramidação de distintos alelos de resistência é uma estratégia recomendada. Atualmente, 14 locos de resistência à antracnose já foramcaracterizados e descritos: Co-1, Co-2, Co-3, Co-4, Co-5, Co-6, co-8, Co-11, Co-12, Co13, Co-14, Co-15, Co-16 e Co-17. O presente trabalho teve como objetivos: 1) avaliar linhagens fontes de resistência com base na reação à antracnose em ambiente controlado e análise molecular com marcadores moleculares identificados como ligados a locos de resistência; 2) testar a relação alélica entre os locos de resistência à antracnose presentes nas cultivares de feijão carioca BRS Horizonte e BRS Cometa; e 3) estudar a herança e mapear a resistência à antracnose na cultivar BRS Cometa. Foi realizada a fenotipagem das populações F2 BRS Horizonte × BRS Cometa e F2 e F2:3 Rosinha G2 × BRS Cometa, utilizando as raças 89 e 91, respectivamente. A caracterização fenotípica e molecular de 26 linhagens fontes de resistência foi realizada utilizando dois patótipos (raça 73 e 81) e sete marcadores SCAR e um STS. A avaliação da reação à doença foi realizada utilizando uma escala de notas contendo nove graus de reação (resistentes = 1 a 3 e suscetíveis = 4 a 9). Foi realizada a genotipagem de 104 plantas F2 Rosinha G2 × BRS Cometa com marcadores SNP, utilizando o BARBean6K_3 Illumina Bead Chip na plataforma de genotipagem Illumina Infinium HD Assay Ultra®. As regiões genômicas flanqueando os marcadores SNP foram alinhadas contra o genoma de referência de Phaseolus vulgaris, variedades Andina (G19833) e Mesoamericana (BAT 93), usando a ferramenta BLASTN. Como resultado da caracterização fenotípica, BRS Cometa e 13 linhagens foram consideradas resistentes às raças 73 e 81. A caracterização molecular indicou que a resistência à antracnose presente em BRS Cometa pode ser governada pelo loco Co-3 ou outro loco de resistência presente no cromossomo Pv04, uma vez que BRS Cometa apresentou amplificação apenas para marcadores ligados ao loco Co-3. Os resultados da fenotipagem da população F2 BRS Horizonte × BRS Cometa indicaram que a razão de segregação para resistência à antracnose se ajustou à proporção esperada de 15R_: 1rr ( 2 = 1,24 e P = 26,41%). As razões de segregação nas populações F2 e F2:3 Rosinha G2 × BRS Cometa se ajustaram à proporção esperada de 3R_:1rr ( 2 = 0,40 e P = 50,50%) e 1RR:2Rr:1rr ( 2 = 0,0 e P = 100%), respectivamente, evidenciando que a resistência em BRS Cometa é monogênica dominante. O loco de resistência à antracnose presente em BRS Cometa (CoCometa) foi mapeado no cromossomo Pv04. Com base nas distâncias genéticas e físicas observadas entre Co-Cometa e outros locos de resistência já descritos em Pv04 (Co-3, Co15 e Co-16), as evidencias são que Co-Cometa trata-se de um loco distinto.

Le pin maritime (Pinus pinaster Ait.) est l’une des principales espèces forestières en France, fournissant près d’un quart de la production nationale de bois. Un programme d’amélioration, mis en place dans les années 1960, propose des variétés génétiquement améliorées pour la croissance et la rectitude du tronc.Cette thèse explore la possibilité d’introduire les marqueurs moléculaires dans les stratégies d’amélioration génétique du pin maritime en Aquitaine. Les marqueurs sont utilisés afin de reconstituer a posteriori les pedigrees au sein d’un test de descendance « polycross », pour d’une part vérifier les hypothèses sur lesquelles repose la sélection backward, et d’autre part, pour proposer une stratégie de sélection innovante. Tout d’abord, la reconstitution du pedigree de 984 individus à l’aide de 63 marqueurs SNPs permet de valider les hypothèses de la sélection backward, et montre que les estimations des paramètres génétiques et des valeurs génétiques maternelles, basées sur l’information d’un pedigree partiel ou complet, diffèrent peu. Puis, les meilleurs descendants du test polycross sont présélectionnés et génotypés pour évaluer la faisabilité d’une stratégie de sélection forward. Enfin, des vergers à graines sont simulés selon différentes stratégies de sélection (backward, forward, mixte) afin de comparer les gains génétiques des variétés améliorées ainsi obtenues.Une stratégie de sélection forward chez le pin maritime permettrait d’accélérer les cycles de sélection et d’augmenter la fréquence des sorties variétales. De plus, le jeu de marqueurs SNPs développé dans cette étude est en cours de valorisation dans différentes étapes du programme d’amélioration. / Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) is one of the main economical forest species in France, providing about twenty five percent of the national round wood production. A breeding program, implemented since the 60’s, offers genetically improved varieties for growth and stem straightness.This PhD explores the use of molecular markers in breeding strategies for maritime pine in Aquitaine. Molecular markers were used for pedigree recovery in a polycross progeny trial to test assumptions of backward selection on one hand, and to evaluate the feasibility of a new breeding strategy on the other hand. First, the pedigree of 984 progeny was recovered with 63 SNPs allowing to verify the assumptions of backward selection. We also showed that genetic parameters and maternal breeding value estimates were not much modified by inclusion of full pedigree information. Then, the best progenies in the polycross trial were preselected and genotyped to investigate the possibility of carrying out a forward selection strategy. Finally, establishment of clonal seed orchards were simulated from various breeding strategies (backward, forward, mixed) in order to compare genetic gains from the improved varieties obtained thereby.This study opens new perspectives towards an implementation of forward selection in the French maritime pine breeding program, to speed the selection cycles up and to increase the frequency of variety renewal. Moreover, the set of SNP markers developed is now used in different steps of the breeding program.

The diseases are among the leading causes of losses in productivity of this legume, and the common bacterial blight (CBB) is the most important bacterioses that affects the culture. The resistance of CBB in common bean is a complex quantitative trait that results from the interaction of several genes. Genetic maps are tools that optimize the search for loci associated with this type of feature, and the most commonly used molecular markers available for this type of study are the SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism). In this sense, this study aimed to: (i) develop a robust genetic map for common bean using SNP markers and the RIL (Recombinant Inbreed Lines) mapping population derived from Ruda × AND 277; (ii) characterize this RIL population and their parents about the reaction to common bacterial blight in field and greenhouse; and (iii) identifying genomic regions (major genes and/or QTL) that control the bacterial blight in this population. We used 393 individuals of the Ruda × AND 277 RIL population, evaluated for reaction to CBB in two field trials in Ponta Grossa - PR, in the rain growing season of 2012 and 2014 and in an inoculation test at the greenhouse, in Santo Antônio de Goiás - GO. The population was genotyped with 5,398 SNP markers and mapping was performed using the R-OneMap and MapDisto programs. Statistical analyzes were performed in the Genes program, and the Scott-Knott method was used for averages groupingin R platform. The QTL analysis was conducted in QTLCartographer program. Using the chi-square test (1:1), 2,062 markers were selected for mapping. Three genetic maps with high strengt, saturation and resolution were built. Statistical analysis showed that there is genetic variability for the CBB resistance in the population of RILs. The QTL analysis identified 10 QTLs linked to resistance of CBB in the Ruda × AND 277 RIL mapping population, in the chromosomes PV01, PV02, Pv07, Pv09 and PV11, based on results from evaluations carried out in the field and greenhouse. The maps constructed for this population have high strength and resolution and may be used for future work on integrative mapping. The statistical analysis evidenced the quantitative character of resistance to CBB in common bean and showed that the parent Rudá has the CBB resistance alleles. It is expected that the markers linked to these QTLs identified can be used in future studies of marker assisted selection. / O feijoeiro-comum (Phaseolus vulgaris) é cultivado no Brasil em vários locais e diversas condições edafoclimáticas. As doenças estão entre as principais causas de prejuízos na produtividade dessa leguminosa, sendo o crestamento bacteriano comum (CBC) a principal bacteriose que afeta essa cultura. A resistência ao CBC no feijoeiro-comum é uma característica complexa, quantitativa, que resulta da interação de vários genes. Os mapas Genéticos são ferramentas que otimizam a busca de locos associados a esse tipo de característica, e os marcadores moleculares mais utilizados disponíveis para esse tipo de estudo são os SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism). Neste sentido, o presente trabalho teve como objetivos: (i) construir um mapa genético robusto para o feijoeiro-comum, utilizando marcadores SNP e a população de RILs (Recombinant Inbred Lines, ou linhagens endogâmicas recombinantes) derivada do cruzamento Rudá × AND 277; (ii) caracterizar esta população de RILs e seus genitores quanto à reação ao crestamento bacteriano comum, em campo e em casa de vegetação; e (iii) identificar regiões genômicas (genes de efeito principal e/ou QTLs) que controlam a reação ao crestamento bacteriano comum nesta população. Foram utilizados 393 indivíduos da população de RILs Rudá × AND 277, avaliados quanto à reação ao CBC em dois ensaios de campo em Ponta Grossa – PR, nas águas de 2012 e 2014, e em um ensaio de inoculação em casa de vegetação, em Santo Antônio de Goiás - GO. A população foi genotipada com 5.398 marcadores SNP e o mapeamento das RILs foi realizado utilizando os programas R-OneMap e MapDisto. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas no programa Genes, sendo o agrupamento de médias de Scott-knott realizado na plataforma R. A análise de QTL foi realizada no programa QTLCartographer. Por meio do teste de quiquadrado (1:1) foram selecionados 2.062 marcadores para o mapeamento. Foram construídos três mapas genéticos com elevada robustez, saturação e resolução. As análises estatísticas evidenciaram que há variabilidade genética para a característica de resistência ao CBC na população de RILs. A análise de QTL identificou 10 QTLs ligados à resistência ao CBC na população de RILs Rudá × AND 277 nos cromossomos Pv01, Pv02, Pv07, Pv09 e PV11 com base em dados obtidos a partir de avaliações em campo e casa de vegetação. Os mapas construídos para essa população apresentam elevada robustez e resolução e poderão ser utilizados para futuros trabalhos de mapeamento integrativo. As análises estatísticas evidenciaram o caráter quantitativo da resistência ao CBC em feijoeiro-comum e mostraram que o genitor Rudá possui alelos de resistência ao CBC. Espera-se que os marcadores ligados a esses QTLs identificados possam ser utilizados em futuros trabalhos de seleção assistida por marcadores.

Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) breeding and cultivar development is hampered by limited information regarding its genetic and phenotypic diversity. A germplasm collection of 206 bermudagrass accessions from 29 countries was genotyped with high-throughput genotyping-by-sequencing technique. Genomic diversity in this diverse germplasm panel was assessed with multifaceted approaches including population structure, phylogenetic analysis, principal component analysis, and genetic diversity parameters. This study revealed substantial genetic variation in the Cynodon accessions, demonstrating the potential of this germplasm panel for further genetic studies and cultivar development in breeding programs. Another critical issue in turfgrass breeding is the lack of information regarding the genetic architecture of traits. Four agronomic traits leaf length, leaf width, internode distance and stem diameter were evaluated in a germplasm panel of common bermudagrass accessions. Then genome-wide association study was performed to dissect the genetic basis of the traits.

L'huître plate européenne, espèce endémique des côtes européennes, est classée dans la catégorie des « espèces menacées et/ou en déclin ». En effet, les gisements naturels de cette huître ont été progressivement décimés par la sur-exploitation et par l'émergence successive de maladies parasitaires. Le parasite responsable de la bonamiose a notamment contribué à réduire de façon drastique l'exploitation de cette huître en France, et en Europe. Les mollusques bivalves marins présentent deux caractéristiques qui restreignent de fait le potentiel d'action pour lutter contre les maladies : ils sont cultivés en milieu ouvert, et possèdent un système immunitaire inné dépourvu de la capacité de réponse adaptative. Dans ce contexte, la sélection d'animaux naturellement résistants à la bonamiose est une voie prometteuse pour relancer la culture de l'huître plate européenne. Afin de mieux comprendre le phénomène de résistance à la bonamiose, plusieurs études ont porté sur les mécanismes de réponse de l'huître plate et sur l'identification de régions génomiques potentiellement impliquées dans les mécanismes de résistance à la maladie.Le présent travail de thèse consistait à améliorer la compréhension de la résistance de l'huître plate européenne vis-à-vis de la bonamiose, mais également à mieux caractériser la ressource génétique et la structuration de ses populations naturelles. L'huître plate n'étant pas un organisme modèle, seule une carte génétique préliminaire était disponible chez cette espèce. Il a donc été nécessaire de développer de nouveaux outils moléculaires afin d'optimiser la couverture de son génome. Des marqueurs de type SNP (polymorphisme d'une seule base) ont ainsi été développés par séquençage de produits PCR et par séquençage à haut débit. Afin d'améliorer la compréhension de la résistance à la bonamiose, trois expériences d'infection avec le parasite responsable de cette maladie ont été réalisées et ont permis de caractériser les phénotypes de réponse de l'huître plate à plusieurs échelles d'études.1- À l'échelle inter-familiale, il s'agissait de détecter des régions du génome (QTL) associées aux mécanismes de réponse (survie / mortalité) à la bonamiose chez plusieurs familles d'huîtres. Cette approche a permis d'identifier plusieurs régions génomiques d'intérêt communes entre les familles, et de nouvelles régions d'intérêt qui n'avaient pas encore été détectées.2- À l'échelle intra-familiale, il s'agissait de détecter des régions génomiques associées à la régulation d'activités hémocytaires (QTL) ou à l'expression de gènes (eQTL) préalablement identifiés comme potentiellement impliqués dans la réponse à la bonamiose. Cette approche, nouvelle chez un mollusque bivalve, a notamment permis de mettre en évidence une concordance positionnelle entre les régions génomiques impliquées dans la survie ou la mortalité à la bonamiose et celles impliquées dans la régulation des réponses cellulaires et/ou moléculaires.3- À l'échelle des populations, il s'agissait d'étudier un éventuel différentiel de réponse à la bonamiose chez des huîtres provenant de trois populations naturelles géographiquement et écologiquement distinctes. Cette étude a notamment permis d'identifier une possible adaptation à la parasitose des huîtres provenant de la baie de Quiberon. Afin de mieux caractériser les ressources naturelles de l'huître plate européenne, plusieurs populations couvrant l'ensemble de l'aire de distribution de l'espèce ont également été étudiées. Cette étude a permis de confirmer la forte diversité nucléotidique de l'huître plate, en évaluant pour la première fois la diversité génétique globale des populations naturelles d'un mollusque bivalve marin. Cette étude a également permis d'identifier une structuration génétique des populations, avec coïncidence entre les discontinuités dans la distribution des fréquences alléliques des marqueurs moléculaires sous sélection positive ou divergente et les barrières biogéographiques. / The European flat oyster, an endemic species from European coasts, is classified in the category of “endangered and/or declining species”. Indeed, the natural beds of this oyster, consumed since ancient times, have gradually been decimated by over-exploitation and by successive emergence of parasitic diseases. The parasite that causes the disease called bonamiosis has contributed to drastically reduce the French and European aquacultural production of flat oyster. Marine bivalve molluscs display two specificities that restrict possibilities to fight against diseases: they are grown in an open environment, and possess an innate immune system lacking in adaptive response. In this context, the selection of animals naturally resistant to bonamiosis is a very promising issue to revive the culture of the European flat oyster. To better understand the phenomenon of resistance against bonamiosis, several studies have focused on understanding the mechanisms of response of the flat oyster, and on the identification of genomic regions potentially involved in the mechanisms of disease resistance.In this context, the present work consisted in improving our understanding of the resistance of the European flat oyster against bonamiosis, and in better characterizing the genetic resources and the structuring of its natural populations. Considering that the flat oyster is not a model organism, a preliminary genetic map was available for this species. It was therefore necessary to develop new molecular tools to optimize the coverage of its genome. SNP markers (single nucleotide polymorphism) have been developed by direct sequencing of PCR products and high-throughput sequencing. To improve the understanding of resistance against bonamiosis, three experiments of infection with the parasite have been performed and used to characterize phenotypes of the oyster response at several study levels.1 – At the inter-family level, the objective was to detect genomic regions (QTL) associated with the mechanisms of response (survival/mortality) against bonamiosis in several families of oysters. This approach enabled to identify several genomic regions of interest shared between families, and new ones that had not yet been detected. 2 – At the intra-family level, the objective was to detect genomic regions associated with the regulation of haemocytic activities (QTLs) or genes expression (eQTL) previously identified as potentially involved in the response to bonamiosis. This approach had never been used before on a bivalve mollusc. It has enabled to identify a positional correlation between the genomic regions involved in the survival or mortality to bonamiosis and those involved in the regulation of cellular or molecular responses.3 – At the population level, the experiment aimed at detecting possible differential responses against bonamiosis between oysters from three natural populations geographically and ecologically distinct. This study has enabled to identify a possible adaptation of oysters from the bay of Quiberon to the parasitosis. In order to improve the characterization of the natural resources of the European flat oyster, several populations covering the entire geographic range of the species were also studied. This study confirmed the high nucleotide diversity of the flat oyster, assessing for the first time the overall genetic diversity of natural populations of a marine bivalve mollusc. This study also enabled to identify the genetic structure of populations, with coincidences between geographical discontinuities in allele frequencies of molecular markers under positive or divergent selection and biogeographical barriers.
