Wild Bilberry Phenolic Compounds and GWAS Results for 118 Genotypes

Vaccinium meridionale Swartz (wild bilberry) from an unspecified region was analyzed for its phenolic content. The dataset includes measurements for 24 compounds from 118 fruit genotypes and leaf samples, analyzed via RP-UHPLC-DAD and ESI-QTOF-MS/MS, and results from a genome-wide association study using 16,709 SNPs across 69 genotypes. The data was authored by Carlos-Eduardo Narváez-Cuenca and last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify genetic markers for phenolic compound biosynthesis based on 40 significant quantitative trait nucleotides
• Compare phenolic profiles between fruit and leaf tissues based on concentrations of chlorogenic acid and caffeoyl arbutin
• Screen wild bilberry genotypes for high anthocyanin content based on cyanidin-3-O-galactoside measurements
• Investigate candidate genes like MYB transcription factors and glucosyltransferases linked to phenolic variation

Strengths

• Identifies 24 specific phenolic compounds with concentration ranges provided
• Includes genetic association data from a GWAS using 16,709 high-quality SNPs
• Compounds were identified using two analytical chemistry techniques: RP-UHPLC-DAD and ESI-QTOF-MS/MS

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Geographic origin of the plant samples is not specified in the provided metadata
