dc.abstract.enThe implementation of biological advancements in agricultural production is the response to the needs of the agricultural sector in the 21st century, enabling increased production and improved food quality. Biological progress in the maize breeding and seed industries is unique in terms of their social and ecological innovation aspects. It affects agricultural productivity and the adaptation of cultivated maize varieties to market demands and changing climate conditions without compromising the environment. Modern maize resistance breeding relies on a wide range of molecular genetic research techniques. These technologies enable the identification of genomic regions associated with maize smut resistance, which is crucial for characterizing and manipulating these regions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify molecular markers (SilicoDArT and SNP) linked to candidate genes responsible for maize smut resistance, utilizing next-generation sequencing, as well as association and physical mapping. By using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and statistical tools, the analyzed maize genotypes were divided into heterotic groups, which enabled the prediction of the hybrid formula in heterosis crosses. In addition, Illumina sequencing identified 60,436 SilicoDArT markers and 32,178 SNP markers (92,614 in total). For association mapping, 32,900 markers (26,234 SilicoDArT and 6666 SNP) meeting the criteria (MAF > 0.25 and the number of missing observations < 10%) were used. Among the selected markers, 61 were highly statistically significant (LOD > 2.3). Among the selected 61 highly statistically significant markers (LOD > 2.3), 10 were significantly associated with plant resistance to maize smut in two locations (Smolice and Kobierzyce). Of the 10 selected markers, 3 SilicoDArT (24016548, 2504588, 4578578) and 3 SNP (4779579, 2467511, 4584208) markers were located within genes. According to literature reports, of these six genes, three (ATAD3, EDM2, and CYP97A3) are characterized proteins that may play a role in the immune response that develops in response to corn smut infection. In the case of genotypes belonging to the same origin groups, markers linked to these genes can be used to select varieties resistant to corn smut. These markers will also be tested on genotypes belonging to other maize origin groups to demonstrate their universality.
