Abstract
Core activities of genebank operations include the preservation of germplasm identity and maintenance of genetic integrity. Some organisms such as banana are maintained by tissue culture that can foster accumulation of somatic mutations and loss of genetic integrity. Such changes can be reflected in their genome structure and thus be revealed by sequencing methods. Here, we propose a protocol for the detection of large chromosomal gains and/or losses that was applied to in vitro banana accessions with different levels of ploidy. Mixoploidy was detected in triploid (3x) accessions with chromosomal regions being diploid (2x) and tetraploid (4x) and in diploid accessions (2x) where large deletions resulted in partial haploidy (1x). Such abnormal molecular karyotypes can potentially explain phenotypic aberrations observed in off type material. With the affordable cost of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies and the release of the presented bioinformatic pipeline, we aim to promote the application of this methodology as a routine operation for genebank management as an important step to monitor the genetic integrity of distributed material. Moreover, genebank users can be also empowered to apply the methodology and check the molecular karyotype of the ordered material.

1 Introduction
Somaclonal variation describes random cellular changes in plants regenerated through tissue culture. It occurs in certain crops that undergo micropropagation, and has been recorded in different explant sources, from leaves and shoots, to meristems and embryos. Banana (Musa spp.) is a clonal crop that can be conserved and multiplied in vitro. Somaclonal variations have been observed in banana after prolonged periods of in vitro culture and after intensive multiplication phases, both resulting in increased rates of subculturing for a given clone. Although somaclonal variation can result in advantageous mutations that can be useful for the genetic improvement of banana, it is undesirable in the context of micropropagation and plant conservation. This type of variation indeed is a problem for genebank managers, whose objectives are to maintain the genetic integrity of their collections for subsequent research and breeding purposes, thus preserving genetic resources for future generations.
The International Musa Germplasm Transit Centre (ITC), managed by the Alliance of Bioversity-CIAT and hosted at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, is the world’s largest collection of banana germplasm with more than 1600 accessions of cultivated and wild species of banana (Ruas et al. 2017; de Langhe et al. 2018). It ensures the long-term conservation of a wide banana genepool and supports germplasm distribution all over the world. Due to the vegetative mode of propagation, banana accessions are kept in vitro under slow-growth conditions and regenerated through tissue culture. Although stress during the in vitro process is minimized by optimized multiplication and growing conditions, somaclonal variations have been observed. To avoid the conservation, and distribution, of material that holds such variations, and therefore ensure the maintenance of the genetic integrity of the germplasm, the ITC has developed the Field Verification exercise. This exercise aims at monitoring the genetic integrity of its banana accessions and combines evidence from morphological and molecular characterization to determine genetic integrity. To do so, plantlets that were maintained in vitro for more than 10 years are sent to the Musa Genotyping Centre (MGC) and to a partner field collection, USDA-ARS. In the lab, leaves are analyzed by flow cytometry and SSR markers, while in the field, plants are grown, characterized and photo documented. Once all results are obtained after a year or two, a panel of taxonomists check the morphological and molecular data and compare them to known reference information for each accession. Given that plants that have undergone somaclonal variations are expected to change in morphology, from changes in color to obvious growth issues, the panel of experts then assesses whether the accession is True-To-Type (TTT) or Off-Type (OT) (Chase et al. 2014). A major limitation of this process is the amount of time that is necessary to grow the plants and document them. It is also cumbersome to request the availability and expertise of key experts on a voluntary basis.
To fasten the process, the development of early screening methods is therefore of great interest for the community. To overcome the plant phenotyping bottleneck, investigation of modifications at the genome level has been targeted (Sahijram et al. 2003; Oh et al. 2007). The molecular basis of somaclonal variation is not precisely known, but both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms have been proposed (Kaeppler et al. 2000). Somaclonal variants in plants can be the result of various types of mutations such point mutations, gene duplication, transposable elements activation or large chromosomal rearrangements (in number and structure) (Bairu et al. 2011).
Current advances in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies and associated Genotyping-by-Sequencing methods allow the generation of high-throughput genetic markers for a large number of samples in a fast and cost-effective way. These datasets can therefore be used to study many events, including large chromosomal variations as recently reported in wheat and barley (Keilwagen et al. 2019). Such chromosome changes (e.g. aneuploidy) have also recently been reported in bananas (Cenci et al. 2019, 2021; Baurens et al. 2019, 2020). Although not all these variations may be the cause of off-type phenotypes, likely due to polyploidy that can mitigate them, it remains a change in DNA integrity of the plant that should be flagged, as well as a good reason for accession regeneration from backup or reintroduction with new material. These large chromosomal variations will be the focus of this chapter.
The protocol described here provides an early detection method for large chromosomal indels applied to material which can be obtained at ITC. This method could be used as a routine operation to check the genetic integrity of germplasm conserved in vitro in genebanks, and also in tissue culture laboratories. It can also be used with other methods for the quick testing of variations in mutants.

2.2 Data Generation
To detect changes in chromosome ploidy, SNP ratio changes need to be monitored along the chromosomes. It is therefore necessary to choose a technology that will generate high-throughput SNP-based markers for genome-wide marker discovery. Technologies based on restriction enzyme-mediated genome complexity reduction such as Genotyping by Sequencing (GBS) (Elshire et al. 2011), Restriction Site Associated DNA Sequencing (RADseq) (Davey et al. 2010), Diversity Arrays Technology Sequencing (DArTseq™) (Kilian et al. 2012) have advantages and disadvantages (Table 9.1) and are all appropriate to detect aneuploidy events. The choice of the technology can be influenced by existing datasets, in-house facilities or affordable solutions offered by service providers. Therefore, we don’t provide a protocol for data generation but list the main points related to the main methods previously tested for such analyses.
3 Methods
The workflow described in Figs. 9.2 and 9.3 shows the different steps involved in the analysis. It is composed of two main processes. The aim of the first part is to map data DNA from DArTseq, GBS, RADseq and RNA from RNAseq onto a reference genome sequence (Musa acuminata genome (D’Hont et al. 2012; Martin et al. 2016), or M. balbisiana genome (Wang et al. 2019)), and perform a SNP calling. The second part of the pipeline uses the VCF file obtained from SNP calling to determine the genomic structure of the accessions and define their molecular karyotype in order to reveal possible ploidy change.
-
Step 1: Read cleaning, mapping, variant calling
-
Read quality check step: Fastqc – Cutadapt
-
Mapping reads on the reference: BWA – STAR
-
Variant discovery: GATK
-
-
Step 2: Merge data, Use VcfHunter to establish the molecular karyotype
-
Combine VCF sample
-
Filtering
-
Split VCF by chromosome
-
Generate figure and assignation to each genome
-
The preprocessing pipeline presented in Fig. 9.2 shows the different steps that are compatible with four different sequencing technologies as listed in the previous section. The pipeline has to be done sample per sample according to the best practice of the software GATK (McKenna et al. 2010) used for the SNP calling part.
-
Step 1: Read cleaning, mapping, variant calling
This pre-processing step performs the cleaning data to the SNP calling via the read mapping and should be performed on each individual in order to produce a single VCF by sample (to be combined in Step 2).
-
Read Quality Check
-
Quality reads: Control the quality of the raw Fastq file with FASTQC
Description: In order to verify the quality of data reads, FastQC allows to check the quality score of each base and the presence or absence of the adaptor used to build the library. Adaptor depends on the sequencing technology used. https://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/
-
Trim low-quality base with Cutadapt
Description: According to the result of FastQC, Cutadapt (Martin 2011) trims low quality ends and removes adapters (Illumina). Website: http://cutadapt.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guide.html
-
Fixed Parameters
-
-b AGATCGGAAGAGC (universal sequence for Illumina). Sequence of an adapter that was ligated to the 5′ or 3′ end. The adapter itself is trimmed and anything that follows too if located at 3′ end.
-
-O 7: Minimum overlap length. If the overlap between the read and the adapter is shorter than LENGTH, the read is not modified. This reduces the no. of bases trimmed purely due to short random adapter matches.
-
-m 30: Discard trimmed reads that are shorter than 30.
-
--quality-base = 64: Assume that quality values are encoded as ascii (quality + QUALITY_BASE). The default (33) is usually correct, except for reads produced by some versions of the Illumina pipeline, where this should be set to 64. (Default: 33).
-
-q 20,20: Trim low-quality bases from 5′ and/or 3′ ends of reads before adapter removal. If one value is given, only the 3′ end is trimmed. If two comma-separated cutoffs are given, the 5′ end is trimmed with the first cutoff, the 3′ end with the second. The algorithm is the same as the one used by BWA (see documentation).
The tool generates a trimmed fastq file (*_cutadapt.fastq.gz) files for each accession.
Mapping Reads on the Reference
Description: Align reads on a reference genome (e.g. Musa acuminata ‘DH Pahang’), with BWA (Li and Durbin 2010) for DNA, and STAR (Dobin et al. 2013) for RNA.
DNA Data: Map with BWA with default parameters with BWA-MEM.
Different types of genomic data such as DArTSeq, GBS and RADseq can be used (Fig. 9.2).
The tool generates a sam (*_.sam) files for each accession.
Website: http://bio-bwa.sourceforge.net/
RNA Data: Mapping with STAR in 2-pass mode.
Description: In the 2-pass mapping job, STAR will map the reads twice. In the first pass, the novel junctions will be detected and inserted into the genome indices. In the second pass, all reads will be re-mapped using annotated (from the GTF file given by the user) and novel (detected in the first pass) junctions. While this procedure doubles the run-time, it significantly increases sensitivity to novel splice junctions. In the absence of annotations, this option is strongly recommended.
The tool generates a folder for each accession, (names filled in column 3 “genome_name”) filled in the configuration file, which contained the SAM files (converted in BAM file) of aligned reads and a .final.out file of mapping statistics for each library. In addition, a (--prefix) folder containing a mapping statistics file (--prefix + mapping.tab) for all accession is generated.
Website: https://github.com/alexdobin/STAR
Variant Discovery
-
Add read group and (accession name from the fq.gz filename) sort BAM with Picard Tools
Description: This step replaces the reads Groups which describe the reads mapped on the reference, the sequencing technology, samples names, and library number are added.
-
ID = Read Group identifier (e.g. FLOWCELL1.LANE1).
-
PU = Platform Unit (e.g. FLOWCELL1.LANE1.UNIT1).
-
SM = Sample (e.g. DAD).
-
PL = Platform technology used to produce the read (e.g. ILLUMINA).
-
LB = DNA library identifier (e.g. LIB-DAD-1).
Website: https://broadinstitute.github.io/picard/
The tool generates a bam (*_rmdup.bam) file for each accession with the RG (Read Group) modified.
-
Mark duplicate reads and index BAM with MarkDuplicates from PicardTools
Description: PCR duplicate removal, where PCR duplicates arise from multiple PCR products from the same template molecule binding on the flow cell. These are removed because they can lead to false positive variant calls. Sort the BAM file and mark the duplicated reads.
Website: https://broadinstitute.github.io/picard/
The tool generate a bam (*_rmdup.bam) files for each accession with duplicated reads removed. In addition, a file named (--prefix + rmdup*stat.tab) file containing duplicate statistics for each accession was generated in the (--prefix) folder.
-
Index BAM with Samtools
Description: This step reorders the bam file according to the genome index position.
Website: http://samtools.sourceforge.net/
The tool generates a reordered (*_reorder.bam) and bai (*_reorder.bai) files for each accession.
-
Split ‘N CIGAR’ reads with SplitNCigarReads from GATK
Description: Splits reads that contain Ns in their cigar string (e.g. spanning splicing events in RNAseq data). Identifies all N cigar elements and creates k+1 new reads (where k is the number of N cigar elements). The first read includes the bases that are to the left of the first N element, while the part of the read that is to the right of the N (including the Ns) is hard clipped and so on for the rest of the new reads. Used for post-processing RNA reads aligned against the full reference.
Website: https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/360036727811-SplitNCigarReads
The tool generates a split and trimmed (on splicing sites) bam (*_trim.bam) and bai (*_trim.bai) files for each accession.
-
Realign indels with IndelRealigners from GATK (2 steps)
Description: The mapper BWA has some difficulties to manage the alignment close to the Indel. The step is not necessary with HaplotypeCaller but is necessary with UnifiedGenotyper. The tool generates a bam (*_realigned.bam) and bai (*_realigned.bai) files realigned around indel for each accession. This step is done with the GATK version 3.8.
The tool generates a bam (*_realigned.bam) and bai (*_realigned.bai) files realigned around indel for each accession.
-
Create a VCF file with HaplotypeCaller from GATK
Description: The HaplotypeCaller is able to call SNPs and indels simultaneously via local de-novo assembly of haplotypes in an active region. Whenever the program encounters a region showing variation, it discards the existing mapping information and completely reassembles the reads in that region. This allows the HaplotypeCaller to be more accurate when calling regions that are traditionally difficult to call.
Parameters:
-
--genotyping_mode DISCOVERY.
-
--variant_index_type LINEAR.
-
--variant_index_parameter 128,000.
https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/360036712151-HaplotypeCaller
Note: All these steps can be performed separately or with workflows reported in the literature (e.g. Toggle(Monat et al. 2015; Tranchant-Dubreuil et al. 2018)) or using the scripts we made available on GitHub at https://github.com/CathyBreton/Genomic_Evolution, which follow all the steps.

Step 2: Molecular Karyotyping and Ploidy Change Detection
Based on known sequence variability, SNP variants can be assigned to the ancestral genomes in order to plot the genome allele coverage ratio and to calculate the normalized site coverage along chromosomes as described in (Baurens et al. 2019). This method can detect chromosome changes such as homoeologous exchanges (Cenci et al. 2021) but also is powerful enough to detect ploidy variation along the chromosomes as illustrated in Fig. 9.3.
The method has been developed within the VCFHunter software (Baurens et al. 2019) and can be used with the following procedure (Fig. 9.4).
-
Merge datasets
Script name: CombineVcf.pl.
Description: The script merges and prepares the final VCF file, this step combines multiple VCF and performs pre-filtering using GATK. The samples to analyze are combined to the reference samples to allow allele assignation. Reference samples are representative genotypes that are relevant to the identification of your samples (i.e. acuminata or balbisiana without admixture). Whenever necessary, such SNP datasets can be downloaded on MGIS (https://www.crop-diversity.org/mgis/gigwa with RADseq_ABB_AB datasets) via GIGWA (Cenci et al. 2021; Sempéré et al. 2019).

Use Cases: Application to Accessions at ITC
This section describes several examples of samples across the banana taxonomy that were processed by our method and allowed the detection of large chromosome variations.
-
Chromosomal changes in allotriploids (AAB, ABB).
Comprehensive characterization of the ABB samples has been conducted on ITC materials, revealing the genome structure or molecular karyotypes of most of the existing taxonomic subgroups (Cenci et al. 2021). Using VCFHunter on RADseq data, we were able to uncover patterns of chromosome segment recombinations between A and B genomes for most of the accessions. Among them, one displayed a clear case of chromosome number change as illustrated on Fig. 9.5. For this genotype belonging to the Bluggoe subgroup, no SNP variant was assigned to the A subgenome (in green) along the whole chromosome 8. Most of the B variants (in red) were located at the top of the diagram (value = 1) with an unimodal distribution for residual B genome heterozygosity around 0.5 (instead of 0.33/0.67 expected in the presence of three B chromosome 8). Moreover, the diagram on the right shows a lower SNP density coverage in comparison to all the other chromosomes, showing that chromosome 8 was diploid (2x) for this accession. This pattern observed here is due to the loss of the A genome version of chromosome 8. For comparison, chromosome 4 exhibits two regions with irregular patterns compared to expectation for an ABB. One is located on the first arm of the chromosome and the second one is placed on the distal part of the second arm. However, in both regions, allelic frequencies for heterozygous sites are consistent with triploidy (0.33/0.67) and no distortion of the coverage density is observed.
Two additional examples of aneuploidy detection in ABB are illustrated in Fig. 9.6. In the accession ‘Simili Radjah’ (ITC0123, ABB), the loss of the second arm in one of the B chromosomes of chromosome 5 can be inferred by the SNP frequency at 0.5 for both A and B assigned SNP and by the lower SNP density coverage compared to the first arm (Fig. 9.6a). In the accession ‘INIVIT PF-2003’ (ITC1600, ABB), in the second arm of chromosome 10, an interstitial region appears to have SNP frequency at 0.5. Since the SNP density coverage in this region is higher than in the remaining chromosome having 1A and 2B chromosomes, the duplication of the interstitial region in chromosome A was deducted, being the SNP ratio in this region 2A:2B.
Finally, other examples were also detected in AAB Plantain cultivars (Fig. 9.7). We observed in ‘Nzumoigne’ (ITC0718), a SNP frequency of A and B alleles at 0.5 on chromosome 2 that was combined to lower SNP density coverage (compared to other chromosomes as exemplified with chromosome 3) (Fig. 9.7a). In ‘Ihitisim’ (ITC0121), multiple events were detected including a chromosome gain on chromosome 3 with SNP ratio of ~0.25 and ~ 0.75, supported by a higher SNP coverage and a partial loss at the beginning of the chromosome 4 (Fig. 9.7b).
-
Chromosomal changes in diploid banana accessions (AA).
The survey of more than 200 AA accessions with the same procedure revealed molecular karyotypes corresponding to chromosome arms with large interstitial or terminal deletions for a few individuals (Fig. 9.8).
4 Notes
-
1.
Lyophilized leaf tissue allows sufficient DNA quality extraction for GBS, RADseq or DArtSeq (Doyle et al. 1990).
-
2.
We recommend using the PSTI restriction enzyme for GBS, RADseq or DArTseq (Chan et al. 2014).
-
3.
From our experience, GBS will generate fewer markers than RADseq but higher read coverage (Hueber et al. 2015).
-
4.
A minimum read coverage of 10x by haplotype would be required to support SNP detection statistically (e.g. 30x for triploids).
-
5.
SNP calling by individual and then merge is more efficient for SNP calling. However, SNP calling can be performed in different way and used directly with Step 2 on molecular karyotyping (https://github.com/CathyBreton/Genomic_Evolution).
-
6.
The pipeline provides graphical output for interpretation of insertion deletions by chromosome. A workflow is developed in github (https://github.com/CathyBreton/Genomic_Evolution).
-
7.
The method can detect aneuploidy. In case of partial gain on a chromosome, as this is based on allelic ratio mapped of the reference genome, the type of event such as insertion or duplication cannot be distinguished. Inversion and translocation are not identified. (Cenci et al. 2019)
-
8.
Large chromosome variations provide information on the loss of genetic integrity. However, those events in banana seems to not be systematically synonyms of somaclonal variations leading to change in observed phenotype. Further research is needed to clarify the importance of the events linked to the loss of True-To-Typeness status.
