dc.description.abstract | The Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is a tree species that holds significant economic
importance and naturally spreads throughout central-southern Europe and Asia Minor. Its
highly nutritious nuts have a unique composition that sets them apart from other nuts,
being rich in vitamins, including vitamin C, and B vitamins such as thiamine, niacin, and
folate. Over the last few decades, breeding efforts have prioritized the development of
sweet chestnut cultivars that are resistant to blight and produce better nuts. However,
despite these efforts, molecular genetic studies of the sweet chestnut have been
insufficient. To bridge this knowledge gap, we set out to create the first reference genome
of the sweet chestnut using whole-genome shotgun paired-end sequencing. Our study
involved genome-wide analyses to identify and functionally annotate genes in sweet
chestnut, and develop and confirm SSR-SNP markers. Additionally, we have identified
and characterized specific genomic loci that enhance the nutritional value of sweet
chestnuts. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the genetic
loci responsible for determining the nutritional value of chestnuts. We anticipate that our
findings will significantly contribute to the development of sweet chestnut cultivars with
higher levels of bioactive compounds, minerals, and digestibility, ultimately enhancing the
nutritional value of chestnuts. | sr |
