Aegilops tauschii is the D-genome progenitor of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum). It is considered to be an important source of genetic variation for wheat breeding, and its genome is an invaluable reference for wheat genomics. We conducted a genome-wide association study using 7,185 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers across 322 diverse accessions of Ae. tauschii that were systematically phenotyped for 29 morphological traits in order to identify marker-trait associations and candidate genes, assess genetic diversity, and classify the accessions based on phenotypic data and genotypic comparison. Using the general linear model and mixed linear model, we identified a total of 18 SNPs significantly associated with 10 morphological traits. Systematic search of the flanking sequences of trait-associated SNPs in public databases identified several genes that may be linked to variations in phenotypes. Cluster analysis using phenotypic data grouped accessions into four clusters, while accessions in the same cluster were not from the same Ae. tauschii subspecies or from the same area of origin. This work establishes a fundamental research platform for association studies in Ae. tauschii and also provides useful information for understanding the genetic mechanism of agronomic traits in wheat.
