Key message: Two major QTLs for cold tolerance in pumpkin were localised, and CmoERF017 was identified as a key candidate gene within these QTLs via RNA-seq. Functional analysis revealed that CmoERF017 was a positive regulator of pumpkin in response to low-temperature stress. Low temperature is a key environmental factor that affects the protected cultivation of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) in winter, and the cold tolerance of cucumber/pumpkin-grafted seedlings depends on the rootstock. Pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.) has a well-developed root system, high resistance and wide adaptation, commonly used as rootstock for cucumber to improve the cold tolerance of grafted seedlings. This study used two high-generation inbred lines of Cucurbita moschata with significant differences in cold tolerance. We identified key candidate genes within the major cold tolerance QTL of rootstocks using QTL-seq and RNA-seq and investigated the function and molecular mechanisms of these genes in response to low-temperature stress. Results showed that QTL-seq located two cold tolerance QTLs, qCII-1 and qCII-2, while RNA-seq located 28 differentially expressed genes within these QTLs. CmoERF017 was finally identified as a key candidate gene. Functional validation results indicated that CmoERF017 is a positive regulator of pumpkin in response to low-temperature stress and affected root ABA synthesis and signalling by directly regulating the expression of SDR7 and ABI5. This study identified a key gene for low-temperature stress tolerance in rootstock pumpkin and clarified its role in the molecular mechanism of hormone-mediated plant cold tolerance. The study findings enrich the theoretical understanding of low-temperature stress tolerance in pumpkin and are valuable for the selection and breeding of cold-tolerant varieties of pumpkin used for rootstocks.

关键信息:通过RNA-seq定位了南瓜耐寒性的两个主要QTLs,并确定CmoERF017是这些QTLs中的一个关键候选基因。功能分析显示,CmoERF017是南瓜应对低温胁迫的正调控因子。低温是影响黄瓜(Cucumis sativus L.)冬季保护地栽培的关键环境因素,而黄瓜/南瓜嫁接苗的耐寒性取决于砧木。南瓜(Cucurbita spp.)根系发达,抗性强,适应性广,常用作黄瓜的砧木,以提高嫁接苗的耐寒性。本研究使用了两个耐寒性差异显著的葫芦高代近交系。我们利用QTL-seq和RNA-seq鉴定了砧木主要耐寒QTL中的关键候选基因,并研究了这些基因在响应低温胁迫时的功能和分子机制。结果表明,QTL-seq定位了两个耐寒QTL,即qCII-1和qCII-2,而RNA-seq定位了这些QTL中的28个差异表达基因。最终确定CmoERF017为关键候选基因。功能验证结果表明,CmoERF017是南瓜应对低温胁迫的正调控因子,通过直接调控SDR7和ABI5的表达影响根系ABA的合成和信号传导。该研究发现了砧木南瓜耐低温胁迫的关键基因,阐明了其在激素介导的植物耐低温分子机制中的作用。研究结果丰富了对南瓜耐低温胁迫的理论认识,对选育耐低温砧木南瓜品种具有重要价值。

Key message: A major and stable QTL for sterile florets per spike and sterile florets per spikelet was identified, it was mapped within a 2.22-Mb interval on chromosome 5AL, and the locus was validated using two segregating populations with different genetic backgrounds. Both the number of fertile florets per spike (FFS) and the number of sterile florets per spike (SFS) significantly influence the final yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and a trade-off theoretically exists between them. To enhance crop yield, wheat breeders have historically concentrated on easily measurable traits such as FFS, spikelets per spike, and spike length. Other traits of agronomic importance, including SFS and sterile florets per spikelet (SFPs), have been largely overlooked. In the study, reported here, genetic bases of SFS and SFPs were investigated based on the assessment of a population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) population. The RIL population was developed by crossing a spontaneous mutant with higher SFS (msf) with the cultivar Chuannong 16. A total of 10 quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified, with QSFS.sau-MC-5A for SFS and QSFPs.sau-MC-5A for SFPs being the major and stable ones, and they were co-located on the long arm of chromosome 5A. The locus was located within a 2.22-Mb interval, and it was further validated in two additional populations based on a tightly linked Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) marker, K_sau_5A_691403852. Expression differences and promoter sequence variations were observed between the parents for both TraesCS5A03G1247300 and TraesCS5A03G1250300. The locus of QSFS.sau-MC-5A/QSFPs.sau-MC-5A showed a significantly positive correlation with spike length, florets in the middle spikelet, and total florets per spike, but it showed no correlation with either kernel number per spike (KNS) or kernel weight per spike. Appropriate nitrogen fertilizer application led to reduced SFS and increased KNS, supporting results from previous reports on the positive effect of nitrogen fertilizer on wheat spike and floret development. Based on these results, we propose a promising approach for breeding wheat cultivars with multiple fertile florets per spike, which could increase the number of kernels per spike and potentially improve yield. Collectively, these findings will facilitate further fine mapping of QSFS.sau-MC-5A/QSFPs.sau-MC-5A and be instrumental in strategies to increase KNS, thereby enhancing wheat yield.

关键信息鉴定了每穗不育小花数和每穗不育小花数的一个主要且稳定的 QTL,该 QTL 映射在 5AL 染色体上的 2.22-Mb 区间内,并利用两个不同遗传背景的分离群体对该位点进行了验证。每穗可育小花数(FFS)和每穗不育小花数(SFS)对小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)的最终产量都有显著影响,理论上两者之间存在权衡。为了提高作物产量,小麦育种者历来专注于容易测量的性状,如每穗不育小花数、每穗小穗数和穗长。其他具有农艺重要性的性状,包括每穗不育小花数(SFS)和每穗不育小花数(SFP),在很大程度上被忽视了。本文报告的研究基于对重组近交系(RILs)群体的评估,调查了 SFS 和 SFPs 的遗传基础。该重组近交系群体是由具有较高SFS的自发突变体(msf)与栽培品种川农16号杂交培育而成的。共鉴定出10个数量性状位点(QTL),其中SFS的QSFS.sau-MC-5A和SFP的QSFPs.sau-MC-5A是主要且稳定的QTL,它们共同位于5A染色体的长臂上。该基因座位于一个 2.22-Mb 的区间内,并在另外两个种群中根据一个紧密相连的 Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR(KASP)标记 K_sau_5A_691403852 进一步验证了该基因座。在 TraesCS5A03G1247300 和 TraesCS5A03G1250300 的亲本之间观察到了表达差异和启动子序列变异。QSFS.sau-MC-5A/QSFPs.sau-MC-5A基因座与穗长、中间小花和每穗总小花呈显著正相关,但与每穗仁数(KNS)和每穗仁重均无相关。适当施用氮肥会导致 SFS 减少和 KNS 增加,这与之前关于氮肥对小麦穗和小花发育有积极影响的报道结果相吻合。基于这些结果,我们提出了一种很有前景的方法,用于培育每穗有多个可育小花的小麦栽培品种,这可以增加每穗的籽粒数,并有可能提高产量。总之,这些发现将有助于进一步绘制 QSFS.sau-MC-5A/QSFPs.sau-MC-5A 的精细图谱,并有助于制定增加 KNS 的策略,从而提高小麦产量。

Key message: qPEDS1, a major quantitative trait locus that determines kernel row number during domestication, harbors the proposed causal gene Zm00001d033675, which may affect jasmonic acid biosynthesis and determine the fate of spikelets. Maize domestication has achieved the production of maize with enlarged ears, enhancing grain productivity dramatically. Kernel row number (KRN), an important yield-related trait, has increased from two rows in teosinte to at least eight rows in modern maize. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. To understand KRN domestication, we developed a teosinte-maize BC2F7 population by introgressing teosinte into a maize background. We identified one line, Teosinte ear rank1 (Ter1), with only 5-7 kernel rows which is fewer than those in almost all maize inbred lines. We detected two quantitative trait loci underlying Ter1 and fine-mapped the major one to a 300-kb physical interval. Two candidate genes, Zm674 and Zm675, were identified from 26 maize reference genomes and teosinte bacterial artificial chromosome sequences. Finally, we proposed that Ter1 affects jasmonic acid biosynthesis in the developing ear to determine KRN by the fate of spikelets. This study provides novel insights into the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying KRN domestication and candidates for de novo wild teosinte domestication.

关键信息:qPEDS1是驯化过程中决定籽粒行数的一个主要数量性状位点,它含有拟议的因果基因Zm00001d033675,该基因可能影响茉莉酸的生物合成并决定小穗的命运。玉米驯化实现了玉米穗的增大,显著提高了谷物产量。籽粒行数(KRN)是与产量相关的一个重要性状,从茶树籽粒的两行增加到现代玉米的至少八行。然而,这一过程的遗传机制仍不清楚。为了了解 KRN 的驯化过程,我们通过将茶新特向玉米背景导入,建立了茶新特-玉米 BC2F7 群体。我们发现了一个品系 Teosinte ear rank1(Ter1),该品系只有 5-7 个核仁行,比几乎所有玉米近交系都要少。我们在 Ter1 的基础上检测到了两个数量性状位点,并将主要位点精细映射到了一个 300 kb 的物理区间。从 26 个玉米参考基因组和茶素细菌人工染色体序列中确定了两个候选基因 Zm674 和 Zm675。最后,我们提出 Ter1 影响发育中果穗的茉莉酸生物合成,从而通过小穗的命运决定 KRN。这项研究为KRN驯化的遗传和分子机制提供了新的见解,也为野生茶树新驯化提供了候选者。

Key message: A major QTL, qLF2.1, for flowering time in tomatoes, was fine mapped to chromosome 2 within a 51.37-kb interval, and the SlJMJ14 gene was verified as the causal gene by knockout. Tomato flowering time is an important agronomic trait that affects yield, fruit quality, and environmental adaptation. In this study, the high-generation inbred line 19108 with a late-flowering phenotype was selected for the mapping of the gene that causes late flowering. In the F2 population derived from 19108 (late flowering) × MM (early flowering), we identified a major late-flowering time quantitative trait locus (QTL) using QTL-seq, designated qLF2.1. This QTL was fine mapped to a 51.37-kb genomic interval using recombinant analysis. Through functional analysis of homologous genes, Solyc02g082400 (SlJMJ14), encoding a histone demethylase, was determined to be the most promising candidate gene. Knocking out SlJMJ14 in MM resulted in a flowering time approximately 5-6 days later than that in the wild-type plants. These results suggest that mutational SlJMJ14 is the major QTL for the late-flowering phenotype of the 19108 parental line.

关键信息:番茄花期的一个主要QTL qLF2.1被精细地映射到2号染色体上的51.37kb间隔内,通过基因敲除验证了SlJMJ14基因是致病基因。番茄花期是影响产量、果实品质和环境适应性的重要农艺性状。本研究选择了具有晚花表型的高代近交系 19108 来绘制导致晚花的基因图谱。在 19108(晚花)×MM(早花)的 F2 群体中,我们利用 QTL-seq 鉴定出了一个主要的晚花时间数量性状位点(QTL),命名为 qLF2.1。通过重组分析,该 QTL 被精细映射到一个 51.37-kb 的基因组区间。通过对同源基因的功能分析,编码组蛋白去甲基化酶的Solyc02g082400(SlJMJ14)被确定为最有希望的候选基因。在 MM 中敲除 SlJMJ14 会导致开花时间比野生型植株晚约 5-6 天。这些结果表明,突变的 SlJMJ14 是 19108 亲本品系晚开花表型的主要 QTL。

Key message

From simulations and experimental data, the quality of cross progeny variance genomic predictions may be high, but depends on trait architecture and necessitates sufficient number of progenies.

Abstract

Genomic predictions are used to select genitors and crosses in plant breeding. The usefulness criterion (UC) is a cross-selection criterion that necessitates the estimation of parental mean (PM) and progeny standard deviation (SD). This study evaluates the parameters that affect the predictive ability of UC and its two components using simulations. Predictive ability increased with heritability and progeny size and decreased with QTL number, most notably for SD. Comparing scenarios where marker effects were known or estimated using prediction models, SD was strongly impacted by the quality of marker effect estimates. We proposed a new algebraic formula for SD estimation that takes into account the uncertainty of the estimation of marker effects. It improved predictions when the number of QTL was superior to 300, especially when heritability was low. We also compared estimated and observed UC using experimental data for heading date, plant height, grain protein content and yield. PM and UC estimates were significantly correlated for all traits (PM: 0.38, 0.63, 0.51 and 0.91; UC: 0.45, 0.52, 0.54 and 0.74; for yield, grain protein content, plant height and heading date, respectively), while SD was correlated only for heading date and plant height (0.64 and 0.49, respectively). According to simulations, SD estimations in the field would necessitate large progenies.

关键信息从模拟和实验数据来看,杂交后代方差基因组预测的质量可能很高,但这取决于性状结构,而且需要足够数量的后代。有用性标准(UC)是一种杂交选择标准,需要估计亲本平均值(PM)和后代标准偏差(SD)。本研究通过模拟评估了影响有用性标准预测能力的参数及其两个组成部分。预测能力随遗传率和后代大小的增加而提高,随 QTL 数量的增加而降低,尤其是 SD。在已知标记效应或使用预测模型估计标记效应的情况下,SD 受标记效应估计质量的影响很大。我们提出了一种新的 SD 估算代数公式,该公式考虑了标记效应估算的不确定性。当 QTL 数量多于 300 时,尤其是遗传率较低时,它能改善预测结果。我们还利用打顶日期、株高、谷物蛋白质含量和产量的实验数据,比较了估计的 UC 和观察到的 UC。在所有性状中,PM 和 UC 估计值都有明显的相关性(PM:0.38、0.63、0.51 和 0.91;UC:UC:0.45、0.52、0.54 和 0.74;分别针对产量、谷物蛋白质含量、株高和打顶日期),而 SD 仅针对打顶日期和株高具有相关性(分别为 0.64 和 0.49)。模拟结果表明,在田间进行自交系测定需要大量后代。这项开创性的研究通过实验验证了 UC 的基因组预测,但预测能力取决于性状结构和标记效应估计的精确度。我们建议育种者调整后代大小,以发挥杂交种的自交系潜力。

We identified a 580 bp deletion of CmaKNAT6 coding region influences peel colour of mature Cucurbita maxima fruit.

Abstract

Peel colour is an important agronomic characteristic affecting commodity quality in Cucurbit plants. Genetic mapping of fruit peel colour promotes molecular breeding and provides an important basis for understanding the regulatory mechanism in Cucurbit plants. In the present study, the Cucurbita maxima inbred line ‘9-6’ which has a grey peel colour and ‘U3-3-44’ which has a dark green peel colour in the mature fruit stage, were used as plant materials. At 5–40 days after pollination (DAP), the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoids in the ‘U3-3-44’ peels were significantly greater than those in the ‘9-6’ peels. In the epicarp of the ‘9-6’ mature fruit, the presence of nonpigmented cell layers and few chloroplasts in each cell in the pigmented layers were observed. Six generations derived by crossing ‘9-6’ and ‘U3-3-44’ were constructed, and the dark green peel was found to be controlled by a single dominant locus, which was named CmaMg (mature green peel). Through bulked-segregant analysis sequencing (BSA-seq) and insertion-deletion (InDel) markers, CmaMg was mapped to a region of approximately 449.51 kb on chromosome 11 using 177 F2 individuals. Additionally, 1703 F2 plants were used for fine mapping to compress the candidate interval to a region of 32.34 kb. Five coding genes were in this region, and CmaCh11G000900 was identified as a promising candidate gene according to the reported function, sequence alignment, and expression analyses. CmaCh11G000900 (CmaKNAT6) encodes the homeobox protein knotted-1-like 6 and contains 4 conserved domains. CmaKNAT6 of ‘9-6’ had a 580 bp deletion, leading to premature transcriptional termination. The expression of CmaKNAT6 tended to increase sharply during the early fruit development stage but decrease gradually during the late period of fruit development. Allelic diversity analysis of pumpkin germplasm resources indicated that the 580 bp deletion in the of CmaKNAT6 coding region was associated with peel colour. Subcellular localization analysis indicated that CmaKNAT6 is a nuclear protein. Transcriptomic analysis of the inbred lines ‘9-6’ and ‘U3-3-44’ indicated that genes involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis were more enriched in ‘U3-3-44’ than in ‘9-6’. Additionally, the expression of transcription factor genes that positively regulate chlorophyll synthesis and light signal transduction pathways was upregulated in ‘U3-3-44’. These results lay a foundation for further studies on the genetic mechanism underlying peel colour and for optimizing peel colour-based breeding strategies for C. maxima.

摘要果皮颜色是影响葫芦科植物商品质量的重要农艺性状。果皮颜色的遗传图谱促进了分子育种,并为了解葫芦科植物的调控机制提供了重要依据。本研究以果皮颜色为灰色的 Cucurbita maxima 近交系'9-6'和成熟果实阶段果皮颜色为深绿色的'U3-3-44'为植物材料。授粉后 5-40 天,'U3-3-44'果皮中叶绿素 a、叶绿素 b、总叶绿素和类胡萝卜素的含量明显高于'9-6'果皮。在'9-6'成熟果实的外果皮中,观察到存在非色素细胞层,色素层中每个细胞中的叶绿体数量很少。通过构建'9-6'和'U3-3-44'杂交产生的六代,发现深绿色果皮由一个显性基因座控制,该基因座被命名为 CmaMg(成熟绿色果皮)。通过大量分离分析测序(BSA-seg)和插入-缺失(InDel)标记,利用177个F2个体将CmaMg映射到11号染色体上约449.51 kb的区域。此外,还利用 1703 株 F2 进行了精细图谱绘制,将候选区间压缩到 32.34 kb 的区域。该区域有五个编码基因,根据报告的功能、序列比对和表达分析,CmaCh11G000900 被确定为有希望的候选基因。CmaCh11G000900 (CmaKNAT6)编码同源框蛋白结-1-样 6,包含 4 个保守结构域。9-6'的 CmaKNAT6 有 580 bp 的缺失,导致转录过早终止。CmaKNAT6 的表达量在果实发育早期急剧增加,但在果实发育后期逐渐减少。南瓜种质资源的等位基因多样性分析表明,CmaKNAT6编码区的580 bp缺失与果皮颜色有关。亚细胞定位分析表明,CmaKNAT6 是一种核蛋白。对近交系 "9-6 "和 "U3-3-44 "的转录组分析表明,与 "9-6 "相比,"U3-3-44 "中参与叶绿素生物合成的基因更为丰富。此外,'U3-3-44'中对叶绿素合成和光信号转导途径有正向调节作用的转录因子基因的表达上调。这些结果为进一步研究果皮颜色的遗传机制和优化基于果皮颜色的 C. maxima 育种策略奠定了基础。

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in wheat and their prospects in breeding with special reference to rust resistance.

Abstract

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based markers are increasingly gaining momentum for screening and utilizing vital agronomic traits in wheat. To date, more than 260 million SNPs have been detected in modern cultivars and landraces of wheat. This rapid SNP discovery was made possible through the release of near-complete reference and pan-genome assemblies of wheat and its wild relatives, coupled with whole genome sequencing (WGS) of thousands of wheat accessions. Further, genotyping customized SNP sites were facilitated by a series of arrays (9 to 820Ks), a cost effective substitute WGS. Lately, germplasm-specific SNP arrays have been introduced to characterize novel traits and detect closely linked SNPs for marker-assisted breeding. Subsequently, the kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) assay was introduced for rapid and large-scale screening of specific SNP markers. Moreover, with the advances and reduction in sequencing costs, ample opportunities arise for generating SNPs artificially through mutations and in combination with next-generation sequencing and comparative genomic analyses. In this review, we provide historical developments and prospects of SNP markers in wheat breeding with special reference to rust resistance where over 50 genetic loci have been characterized through SNP markers. Rust resistance is one of the most essential traits for wheat breeding as new strains of the Puccinia fungus, responsible for rust diseases, evolve frequently and globally.

摘要以单核苷酸多态性(SNP)为基础的标记在筛选和利用小麦重要农艺性状方面的势头日益强劲。迄今为止,已在现代小麦栽培品种和陆地品系中检测到超过 2.6 亿个 SNP。小麦及其野生近缘种近乎完整的参考基因组和泛基因组组装的发布,加上对数千个小麦品种的全基因组测序(WGS),使得这种快速的 SNP 发现成为可能。此外,一系列阵列(9 至 820Ks)为定制 SNP 位点的基因分型提供了便利,这是一种具有成本效益的 WGS 替代品。最近,又引入了种质特异性 SNP 阵列,以表征新性状和检测密切相关的 SNP,用于标记辅助育种。随后,又引入了竞争性等位基因特异性 PCR(KASP)测定法,用于快速、大规模筛选特异性 SNP 标记。此外,随着测序技术的进步和测序成本的降低,通过突变以及结合新一代测序和比较基因组分析人工产生 SNP 的机会也越来越多。在本综述中,我们将介绍 SNP 标记在小麦育种中的历史发展和前景,特别是在抗锈病方面,已有 50 多个遗传位点通过 SNP 标记得到了表征。抗锈病性是小麦育种最基本的性状之一,因为导致锈病的普氏真菌的新菌株在全球范围内频繁进化。

Mutations in TaCHLI impact chlorophyll levels and yield-related traits in wheat.Natural variations in TaCHLI-7A/B influence plant productivity, offering potential for molecularbreeding.

Abstract

Chlorophyll is essential for plant growth and productivity. The CHLI subunit of the magnesium chelatase protein plays a key role inserting magnesium into protoporphyrin IX during chlorophyll biosynthesis. Here, we identify a novel wheat mutant chlorophyll (chl) that exhibits yellow-green leaves, reduced chlorophyll levels, and increased carotenoid content, leading to an overall decline in yield-related traits. Map-based cloning reveals that the chl phenotype is caused by a point mutation (Asp186Asn) in the TaCHLI-7D gene, which encodes subunit I of magnesium chelatase. Furthermore, the three TaCHLI mutants: chl-7b-1 (Pro82Ser), chl-7b-2 (Ala291Thr), and chl-7d-1 (Gly357Glu), also showed significant reductions in chlorophyll content and yield-related traits. However, TaCHLI-7D overexpression in rice significantly decreased thousand kernel weight, yield per plant, and germination. Additionally, natural variations in TaCHLI-7A/B are significantly associated with flag leaf, spike exsertion length, and yield per plant. Notably, the favorable haplotype, TaCHLI-7B-HapII, which displayed higher thousand kernel weight and yield per plant, is positively selected in wheat breeding. Our study provides insights on the regulatory molecular mechanisms underpinning leaf color and chlorophyll biosynthesis, and highlights TaCHLI functions, which provide useful molecular markers and genetic resources for wheat breeding.

关键信息TaCHLI的突变影响小麦的叶绿素水平和产量相关性状。TaCHLI-7A/B的自然变异影响植物的产量,为分子育种提供了潜力。 摘要叶绿素对植物的生长和产量至关重要。镁螯合酶蛋白的 CHLI 亚基在叶绿素的生物合成过程中起着将镁插入原卟啉 IX 的关键作用。在这里,我们发现了一种新的小麦叶绿素突变体(chl),该突变体叶片呈黄绿色,叶绿素含量降低,类胡萝卜素含量增加,导致产量相关性状整体下降。基于图谱的克隆发现,chl 表型是由编码镁螯合酶 I 亚基的 TaCHLI-7D 基因中的一个点突变(Asp186Asn)引起的。此外,三个 TaCHLI 突变体:chl-7b-1(Pro82Ser)、chl-7b-2(Ala291Thr)和 chl-7d-1(Gly357Glu)也显示出叶绿素含量和产量相关性状的显著降低。然而,TaCHLI-7D 在水稻中的过表达会显著降低千粒重、单株产量和发芽率。此外,TaCHLI-7A/B 的自然变异与旗叶、穗膨大长度和单株产量显著相关。值得注意的是,有利的单倍型 TaCHLI-7B-HapII 显示出更高的千粒重和单株产量,在小麦育种中被积极选择。我们的研究揭示了叶色和叶绿素生物合成的分子调控机制,突出了 TaCHLI 的功能,为小麦育种提供了有用的分子标记和遗传资源。

Sixty-nine quantitative trait nucleotides conferring maize resistance to Gibberella ear rot were detected, including eighteen novel loci. Four candidate genes were predicted, and four kompetitive allele-specific PCR markers were developed.

Abstract

Maize Gibberella ear rot (GER), caused by Fusarium graminearum, is one of the most devastating diseases in maize-growing regions worldwide. Enhancing maize cultivar resistance to this disease requires a comprehensive understanding of the genetic basis of resistance to GER. In this study, 334 maize inbred lines were phenotyped for GER resistance in five environments and genotyped using the Affymetrix CGMB56K SNP Array, and a genome-wide association study of resistance to GER was performed using a 3V multi-locus random-SNP-effect mixed linear model. A total of 69 quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) conferring resistance to GER were detected, and all of them explained individually less than 10% of the phenotypic variation, suggesting that resistance to GER is controlled by multiple minor-effect genetic loci. A total of 348 genes located around the 200-kb genomic region of these 69 QTNs were identified, and four of them (Zm00001d029648, Zm00001d031449, Zm00001d006397, and Zm00001d053145) were considered candidate genes conferring susceptibility to GER based on gene expression patterns. Moreover, four kompetitive allele-specific PCR markers were developed based on the non-synonymous variation of these four candidate genes and validated in two genetic populations. This study provides useful genetic resources for improving resistance to GER in maize.

关键信息检测到69个数量性状核苷酸赋予玉米对吉伯菌穗腐病的抗性,其中包括18个新的位点。摘要由禾谷镰刀菌引起的玉米吉伯菌穗腐病(GER)是全球玉米种植区最具毁灭性的病害之一。要提高玉米品种对该病害的抗性,就必须全面了解玉米抗吉伯菌穗腐病的遗传基础。本研究利用 Affymetrix CGMB56K SNP 阵列对 334 个玉米近交系在 5 种环境中的 GER 抗性进行了表型分析和基因分型,并利用 3V 多焦点随机-SNP-效应混合线性模型对 GER 的抗性进行了全基因组关联研究。共检测到69个赋予GER抗性的数量性状核苷酸(QTNs),所有QTNs单独解释的表型变异均小于10%,表明GER抗性受多个次要效应遗传位点控制。在这69个QTN的200kb基因组区域周围共鉴定出348个基因,其中4个基因(Zm00001d029648、Zm00001d031449、Zm00001d006397和Zm00001d053145)根据基因表达模式被认为是GER易感性的候选基因。此外,还根据这四个候选基因的非同义变异开发了四个竞争性等位基因特异性 PCR 标记,并在两个遗传群体中进行了验证。这项研究为提高玉米对 GER 的抗性提供了有用的遗传资源。

In this study, 334 maize inbred lines were phenotyped for GER resistance in five environments and genotyped using the Affymetrix CGMB56K SNP Array, and a genome-wide association study of resistance to GER was performed using a 3V multi-locus random-SNP-effect mixed linear model. A total of 69 quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) conferring resistance to GER were detected, and all of them explained individually less than 10% of the phenotypic variation, suggesting that resistance to GER is controlled by multiple minor-effect genetic loci. A total of 348 genes located around the 200-kb genomic region of these 69 QTNs were identified, and four of them (<i>Zm00001d029648</i>, <i>Zm00001d031449</i>, <i>Zm00001d006397</i>, and <i>Zm00001d053145</i>) were considered candidate genes conferring susceptibility to GER based on gene expression patterns. Moreover, four kompetitive allele-specific PCR markers were developed based on the non-synonymous variation of these four candidate genes and validated in two genetic populations. This study provides useful genetic resources for improving resistance to GER in maize.</p>","PeriodicalId":22955,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Applied Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142264615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
