dc.description.abstractTransposable elements (TEs) are a major force in the production of new alleles during domestication; nevertheless, their use in association studies has been limited because of their complexity. We have developed a TE genotyping pipeline (TEmarker) and applied it to whole-genome genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from 176 Oryza sativa subsp. japonica accessions to identify genetic elements associated with specific agronomic traits. TE markers recovered a large proportion (69%) of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based GWAS peaks, and these TE peaks retained ca. 25% of the SNPs. The use of TEs in GWASs may reduce false positives associated with linkage disequilibrium (LD) among SNP markers. A genome scan revealed positive selection on TEs associated with agronomic traits. We found several cases of insertion and deletion variants that potentially resulted from the direct action of TEs, including an allele of LOC_Os11g08410 associated with plant height and panicle length traits. Together, these findings reveal the utility of TE markers for connecting genotype to phenotype and suggest a potential role for TEs in influencing phenotypic variations in rice that impact agronomic traits.en
