利用水稻MAGIC群体关联定位白叶枯病抗性QTL和创制抗病新种质

以8个不同亲本构建的遗传上相互关联的多亲本高代互交系(multi-parents advanced generation inter-cross, MAGIC)群体,包括2个4亲本群体(DC1和DC2)和1个8亲本群体(DC3)为材料,接种我国白叶枯病强致病力V型菌系(GD-V)和弱致病力II型菌系(C2),关联分析定位MAGIC群体对白叶枯病的抗性QTL,筛选抗病种质。结果表明,大多数亲本对C2菌系表现抗病,而对GD-V表现感病,3个MAGIC群体的病斑长度均出现超亲分离。共检测到7个白叶枯病抗性QTL,大多表现数量抗性,而且抗性QTL表达存在明显的遗传背景效应。QBbr11-1和QBbr11-2受遗传背景影响较小,具有一定的育种应用价值。从3个群体筛选出8份不同抗病QTL聚合的抗病材料,表明质量抗性基因和水平抗性数量性状位点的结合可以显著提高抗性水平。8份不同抗病QTL的聚合系可以用作抗病育种的中间抗源。研究结果表明,MAGIC群体可以将遗传研究和育种应用有机结合,是遗传研究和开展标记辅助育种的理想群体。

发掘人工合成小麦中千粒重QTL的有利等位基因

以人工合成小麦Am3为供体亲本,普通小麦莱州953为轮回亲本,经5次回交然后自交,培育出含85个株系的F_2:3群体。以该群体为材料,用348对多态性SSR标记,进行全基因组扫描,发掘人工合成小麦中千粒重QTL的有利等位基因。利用复合区间作图法检测到3个千粒重QTL,其对表型变异的贡献率为10.9%~33.79%。其中,Am3的等位基因能够增加千粒重2.3~4.8 g。相关分析表明,该导入系群体的千粒重与穗粒数、穗数和株高无显著相关性。千粒重QTL与穗粒数、穗数性状的QTL不在同一位置,这有利于高千粒重基因与其他产量性状基因的聚合。采用混合线性模型作图法检测到1个千粒重QTL(QGw.caas-3D),该QTL与环境互作效应小,而且与复合区间作图法在3个环境中都检测到的QTL相同,表明QGw.caas-3D是一个稳定的主效QTL。

QTL mapping of sheath blight resistance in a deep-water rice cultivar

Sheath blight, caused by the pathogen Rhizoctonia solani Kühn, is one of the most serious diseases of rice and leads to severe yield loss worldwide. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population consisting of 121 lines was constructed from a cross between HH1B and RSB03, the latter of which is a deep-water rice variety. Five traits were used to evaluate sheath blight resistance, namely disease rating (DR), lesion length (LL), lesion height (LH), relative lesion length [RLL, the ratio of LL to plant height (PH)], and relative LH (RLH, the ratio of LH to PH). Using the RIL population and 123 molecular markers, we identified 28 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for the five traits in two environments. These QTLs are located on nine chromosomes and most of them are environment specific. A major QTL for DR (qSBR1) on chromosome 1 was identified with contributions of 12.7% at Shanghai and 42.6% at Hainan, and it collocated with a QTL for PH. The allele at this locus from RSB03 enhances sheath blight resistance and increases PH. Another QTL for DR on chromosome 7 was adjacent to QTLs for heading date (HD) and four other disease traits. RSB03 also carries the resistant allele at this locus and shortens HD. The susceptible parent, HH1B, provides the resistance allele at the locus qSBR8, where QTLs for four other disease traits were identified. QTL mapping results showed that most QTLs for LL, LH, RLL, and RLH are collocated with QTLs for DR. Three QTLs for DR are independent from HD, PH, and four other disease traits, while four QTLs are closely related to HD and PH. Four QTLs for LL, LH, RLL, and RLH are independent from DR, HD, and PH, while there is only one region harboring QTLs for these four traits and HD. Correlation analysis and QTL mapping results indicated that LL, LH, RLL, and RLH might be important indices, like DR, for evaluating the level of resistance to rice sheath blight.     

QTL mapping for heading date,leaf area and chlorophyll content under cold and drought stress in two related recombinant inbred line populations (Japonica rice) and meta‐analysis

Rice is highly susceptible to drought and cold. The goal of this study was to identify the QTLs affecting the rice heading date (HD), leaf area (LA) and chlorophyll content (CC) under cold and drought stress. A total of twenty‐nine and thirty‐eight additive QTLs were detected from two crosses of ‘Dongnong422’/‘Kongyu131’ and ‘Xiaobaijingzi’/‘Kongyu131’, respectively. qHD1‐7‐1, qHD1‐7‐2, qHD1‐2‐1, qLA1‐7‐1, qLA1‐6‐3 and qCC1‐7‐1 show adaptive effects under cold treatment, while qHD2‐2‐3, qHD2‐2‐2, qLA2‐7‐3 and qCC2‐5‐1 were important for explaining the genetic mechanism during drought tolerance. Additionally, nine and five additive × environment interaction QTLs were detected for two RILs, respectively. RIL26 and RIL73 were two lines that are associated with cold and drought for HD. 339 QTLs related to HD, CC and LA of rice from database and our research were projected onto the genetic map. Nine cloned genes and nineteen homologous candidate genes related to HD, CC, cold tolerance and drought tolerance were mapped by meta‐analysis. These results lay the foundation for the fine mapping of QTLs related to HD, LA and CC for marker‐assisted selection.     

Tagging quantitative trait loci for heading date and plant height in important breeding parents of rice (Oryza sativa)

Heading date and plant height are important determinants for plant growth rate. In this study, simple sequence repeat markers were used to tag quantitative trait loci (QTL) using a recombinant inbred line mapping population derived from two important breeding parents, genetic stock Kaybonnetlpa1-1 and indica cultivar Zhe733, using data collected under field and greenhouse conditions. Interval mapping, composite interval mapping, and multiple interval mapping were performed to map QTL for heading date and plant height, and to identify epistatic interactions between the QTL. qHD3.1 on chromosome 3 from KBNTlpa1-1 had the largest effect on heading date contributing an average of 28.4 % of the total phenotypic variation. qHD7.1, 7.2, and 8.1 also had a significant contribution to heading date from Zhe733 averaging 8.1, 12.8, and 12.8 % of the phenotypic variance, respectively, and there was a positive additive-by-additive epistatic interaction between qHD7.1 and qHD8.1. QTL, qPHT1.1 and qPHT3.1, for plant height were detected on chromosomes 1 and 3, respectively. qPHT1.1 contributed the largest effect representing 38.2 % of the total phenotypic variation. Comparison of the QTL identified in our study with previous results revealed that the chromosomal locations for QTL coincided closely with positions reported previously in other rice populations worldwide, suggesting that these QTL have coevolved and become domesticated. The tightly linked SSR markers that flank these QTL should be desirable for tagging heading date and plant height genes and facilitating their incorporation into advanced breeding lines using marker assisted selection.     

Genetic studies of seed longevity in hexaploid wheat using segregation and association mapping approaches

Xieyou9308 is the first commercial super hybrid rice released in 1996 in China. To clarify its genetic mechanism underlying high yield potential, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from the cross between the maintainer line XieqingzaoB (XQZB) and the restorer line Zhonghui9308 (ZH9308) and two derived backcross F₁ (BCF₁) populations were developed for the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to ten important agronomic traits (tiller number (TN), heading date (HD), and grain yield per plant (GYPP), etc.). The BCF₁ performance was closely correlated with the performance of their parental RILs according to both the analysis of broad-sense heritability (h _B ²) and phenotypic correlation coefficient (PCC) in the two BCF₁ populations, but not proved by QTL analysis. A total of 21 additive-effect main QTLs (M-QTLs), 22 dominant-effect M-QTLs, and 19 dominant-effect M-QTLs were detected with the WinQTLCart 2.50 software for the ten traits in the RIL and two BCF₁ populations, respectively. Of theses, three QTLs (qHD7a, qPPP3a, and qPL10) of 21 were detected repeatedly in the RIL and one BCF₁ populations, ten QTLs underlying four traits were only detected repeatedly in two BCF₁ populations, and nine QTLs controlling more than two traits were detected repeatedly, the additive-effect QTLs and dominant-effect QTLs play an important role in the performance of agronomic traits and no epistatic QTL of additive by additive effect and dominant by dominant-effect was detected for all traits in three populations. This research is valuable for M-QTL related to important agronomic trait in future fine mapping and positional cloning.     

QTLs for uppermost internode and spike length in two wheat RIL populations and their affect upon plant height at an individual QTL level

Spike length (SL) is one of the most important components of spike morphology, and the uppermost internode represents an ideal organ to study the transportation system. We performed conditional and unconditional quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping in two unrelated recombinant inbred line populations to precisely detect QTLs for uppermost internode length (UIL) and SL, and to dissect the genetic relationship between these two factors with plant height (PH). Both of the populations were derived from crosses with synthetic wheat. Ten repetitive QTLs for UIL and six environment-independent QTLs for SL were identified in this study, and twelve of these were completely independent of PH. Conditional QTL mapping analysis indicated that SL was more independent to PH than UIL was. The results indicated that the conditional QTL mapping method could evaluate PH component effects on PH, and thus accelerate the selection of suitable loci that improve commercial wheat morphology yet avoid changes to PH.     

利用品质性状的回交选择导入系挖掘水稻抗纹枯病QTL

将优质、抗纹枯病的高秆供体Tarom Molaii和Binam导入半矮秆IR64和特青背景,培育品质性状回交选择构建的4个导入系群体IR64/Tarom Molaii、特青/Tarom Molaii、IR64/Binam和特青/Binam,定位了影响水稻抗纹枯病病级(disease scale, DS)、相对病斑高度(relative lesion height, RH)和株高(plant height, PH)的QTL。结果表明,4个导入系群体的DS与RH高度相关,两者与PH呈显著负相关。导入系后代各性状均呈现超亲分离,出现抗性明显优于双亲的抗病个体,其中40%左右属半矮秆抗病类型。采用单向方差分析,在这4个群体中分别定位到10、8、8和6个影响3个性状的QTL,多数基因座上降低DS和RH即增强抗病性同时增加株高的等位基因均来自两个供体。未在同一供体两个不同背景下检测到影响3个性状的相同QTL,表明抗纹枯病QTL表达有明显的遗传背景效应。PH与DS及PH与RH被定位在同一个显著标记位点的QTL数分别占两个性状QTL总数的38%和52%,表明水稻纹枯病抗性与株高关系密切,两者存在许多连锁位点。与以往相同群体品质性状QTL的定位结果相比,发现品质性状QTL与抗纹枯病QTL大多分布在染色体的不同区域,彼此独立遗传。对利用目标性状选择导入系定位非目标性状QTL的效果、影响因素及育种应用进行了探讨,强调了目标性状选择导入系对非目标性状QTL发掘及育种应用的重要性。     

Effects of environment, disease progress, plant height and heading date on the detection of QTLs for resistance to Fusarium head blight in an European winter wheat cross

In order to characterise quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for Type I and Type II resistance against Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat, a population of recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross Cansas (moderately resistant)/Ritmo (susceptible) was evaluated in spray-inoculated field trials over three seasons. Map-based QTL analysis across environments revealed seven QTLs on chromosomes 1BS, 1DS, 3B, 3DL, 5BL, 7BS and 7AL (QFhs.whs-1B, QFhs.whs-1D, QFhs.whs-3B, QFhs.whs-3D, QFhs.whs-5B, QFhs.whs-7A, QFhs.whs-7B) associated with FHB resistance. They accounted for 56% of the phenotypic variance. QFhs.whs-1D primarily appeared to be involved in resistance to fungal penetration, whereas the other QTLs mainly contributed to resistance to fungal spread. FHB resistance was significantly correlated with plant height (PH) and heading date (HD). Including all single environments, corresponding overlaps of QTLs for FHB resistance and QTLs for PH/HD occurred at six loci, among them two consistently detected QTLs, QFhs.whs-5B and QFhs.whs-7A. When significant effects of PH and HD on FHB resistance were eliminated by covariance analysis, a second QTL analysis revealed possible escape mechanisms for the majority of the coincidental loci.
