水稻芽期与幼苗前期耐碱性状QTL定位

利用包含120个株系的籼粳交来源(春江06/TN1)的加倍单倍体群体, 在Na₂CO₃胁迫下, 以发芽期和幼苗前期的相对发芽势等10个性状作为耐碱性评价指标, 进行水稻耐碱性的QTL定位。相关性分析表明, 相对发芽势和相对发芽率显著正相关, 相对苗高、相对根数和相对根长之间显著正相关。采用QTLNetwork统计软件共定位到14个加性QTL和13个上位性QTL。在第3染色体RM251~RM3280间有2个QTL, 在第7染色体RM3286~RM1279区域有3个QTL; 在第1、2和7染色体同一位置同时检测到2个上位性QTL, 在第12染色体RM1246~RM5199之间集中了4个上位性QTL, 耐碱数量基因表现出一因多效或紧密连锁现象。耐碱性盐QTL可能包括两类, 一类与K+、Na+等离子胁迫有关, 另一类与高pH胁迫有关。不同类型的水稻品种都具有一些耐碱基因, 可以通过有性杂交和分子标记辅助选择的方法选育优良的耐碱品种。     

Identification of QTLs associated with salinity tolerance at late growth stage in barley

Salinity is a major abiotic stress to barley (Hordum vulgare L.) growth and yield. In the current study, quantitative trait loci (QTL) for yield and physiological components at the late growth stage under salt stress and non-stress environments were determined in barley using a double haploid population derived from a cross between CM72 (salt-tolerant) and Gairdner (salt-sensitive). A total of 30 QTLs for 10 traits, including tiller numbers (TN), plant height, spikes per line (SPL), spikes per plant (SPP), dry weight per plant, grains per plant, grain yield, shoot Na⁺ (NA) and K⁺ concentraitions (K) in shoot, and Na⁺/K⁺ ratio (NAK), were detected, with 17 and 13 QTLs under non-stress and salt stress, respectively. The phenotypic variation explained by individual QTL ranged from 3.25 to 29.81%. QTL flanked by markers bPb-1278 and bPb-8437 on chromosomes 4H was associated with TN, SPL, and SPP under salt stress. This locus may be useful in the breeding program of marker-assisted selection for improving salt tolerance of barley. However, QTLs associated with NA, K, and NAK differed greatly between non-stress and salt stress environments. It may be suggested that only the QTLs detected under salt stress are really associated with salt tolerance in barley. D. Xue and Y. Huang contributed equally to the article.     

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。     

Mapping a factor controlling the thermostability of seed lipoxygenase-1 in barley

Barley lipoxygenase (LOX)‐1 is believed to affect the stability of flavour and the foam of beer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the genetic variation of the LOX‐1 thermostability, and to analyse the mode of inheritance of this trait. A simple method was established to evaluate the LOX‐1 relative thermostability (LOX‐RTS). With this method, 153 barley cultivars were screened for LOX‐RTS. The frequency of the LOX‐RTS values was distributed in a bimodal manner. Based on these values, the barley lines were categorized into two groups: an H‐type with relatively thermostable LOX‐1 and an L‐type with relatively thermolabile LOX‐1. Using a ‘Steptoe’/‘Morex’ doubled haploid population, a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with LOX‐RTS was identified on chromosome 4H of barley, explaining 82% of the variance. Mapping of a CAPS marker specific for the LoxA locus revealed co‐segregation with this QTL. In this study, the existence of the thermostability types of barley seed LOX‐1 and the locus controlling the thermostability were made clearer.

利用回交导入系定位干旱环境下水稻植株水分状况相关QTL

日益严重的水资源危机使水稻的耐旱育种尤为迫切, 干旱环境下较高的植株水分含量有助于提高或维持作物产量的稳定性, 挖掘与耐旱性密切相关的分子标记有助于提高耐旱品种的选育效率。从供体Lemont (粳稻)导入到特青(籼稻)背景的254个高代回交导入系中筛选出覆盖供体全基因组的55个回交导入系, 采用PVC管栽培, 分析了干旱(胁迫)条件下水稻植株水分状况相关性状与籽粒产量、生物量的相关性并定位了相关QTL。研究表明, 植株水分相关性状(相对含水量、叶片水势、渗透势、卷叶度)均与籽粒产量显著相关。检测到7个相对含水量QTL, 7个叶片水势QTL, 5个渗透势QTL及5个卷叶QTL; 另检测到5个产量QTL, 7个生物量QTL。分析发现, 不仅QLwp5、QLr5、QRwc5和QY5同时分布在RM509~RM163区域, 且该区域还分布有对水分环境表现稳定的产量QTL(QGy5), 效应方向一致, 从遗传学角度解释了籽粒产量与水分相关性状之间的显著相关性。另外, QLr5、QRwc5、QY5、QLr2、QLr7、QLr8、QLr9、QRwc3、QRwc4a、QRwc12及QY7 等11个QTL曾在不同遗传背景群体中被检测到, 它们控制相同目标性状。研究认为RM509~RM163区域及QLr2、QLr7、QLr8、QLr9、QRwc3、QRwc4a、QRwc12和QY7所分布的染色体区域对水分环境或者遗传背景相对稳定, 在水稻分子标记辅助选择(MAS)耐旱育种实践中有较重要利用价值。     

Identification of QTLs controlling harvest time and fruit skin color in Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai)

Using an F₁ population from a cross between Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) cultivars ‘Akiakari’ and ‘Taihaku’, we performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of seven fruit traits (harvest time, fruit skin color, flesh firmness, fruit weight, acid content, total soluble solids content, and preharvest fruit drop). The constructed simple sequence repeat-based genetic linkage map of ‘Akiakari’ consisted of 208 loci and spanned 799 cM; that of ‘Taihaku’ consisted of 275 loci and spanned 1039 cM. Out of significant QTLs, two QTLs for harvest time, one for fruit skin color, and one for flesh firmness were stably detected in two successive years. The QTLs for harvest time were located at the bottom of linkage group (LG) Tai3 (nearest marker: BGA35) and at the top of LG Tai15 (nearest markers: PPACS2 and MEST050), in good accordance with results of genome-wide association study. The PPACS2 gene, a member of the ACC synthase gene family, may control harvest time, preharvest fruit drop, and fruit storage potential. One major QTL associated with fruit skin color was identified at the top of LG 8. QTLs identified in this study would be useful for marker-assisted selection in Japanese pear breeding programs.     

Detection of quantitative trait loci for phosphorus deficiency tolerance at soybean seedling stage

Phosphorus deficiency is a primary constraint to soybean productivity in acid and calcareous soils. Our aim was to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling phosphorus deficiency tolerance using 152 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between the P stress tolerant variety Nannong94-156 and the P stress sensitive variety Bogao. Five traits were used as parameters to evaluate phosphorus deficiency tolerance at seedling stage under different phosphorus levels in experiments 2005 and 2006. As a result, thirty-four additive QTLs were detected on nine linkage groups, with corresponding contribution ratios of 6.6–19.3%. There were three clusters of QTL found in genomic regions S506-Satt534 (on linkage group B2-1), Sat_183-Satt274 (on linkage group D1b + W), and Sat_185-Satt012 (on linkage group G). The locus flanked by Sat_183-Satt274 on linkage group D1b + W was coincident with four previously discovered QTLs with phosphorus efficiency. Another interesting locus flanked by Sat_185-Satt012 on linkage group G was detected across years. The identified QTL will be useful to improve the stress resistance of soybean against a complex nutritional disorder caused by phosphorus deficiency. In addition, more QTLs were detected under low phosphorus condition and some QTLs were detected that specifically expressed under different phosphorus levels. These particular QTLs could help provide greater understanding of the genetic basis of phosphorus efficiency in soybean.

利用Mudgo/武育粳3号F2群体分析水稻抗灰飞虱QTL

灰飞虱是我国水稻生产上的重要害虫。Mudgo是一个高抗灰飞虱的籼稻品种,对灰飞虱具有强的排驱性和抗生性抗性。利用Mudgo/武育粳3号F₂群体,构建了含有177个单株的F₂群体的遗传连锁图谱。该连锁图包含104个SSR标记和3个Indel标记,覆盖整个水稻基因组1 409.9 cM,每两个标记之间的平均距离为13.2 cM。采用改进的苗期集团筛选法对177个F_2:3家系进行了抗性鉴定,通过Windows QTL Cartographer 2.5进行复合区间作图分析,在第2、3、12染色体上分别检测到抗灰飞虱QTL Qsbph2b、Qsbph3d和Qsbph12a,分别位于标记RM5791~RM29、RM3199~RM5442和I12-17~RM333 1之间,单个LOD值分别为3.25、3.11和6.82,贡献率分别为17.3%、15.6%和35.8%,各QTL增强抗性的等位基因效应均来自Mudgo。其中Qsbph12a与标记RM3331和I12-17紧密连锁。结合表型鉴定的结果,Qsbph12a应为抗灰飞虱主效QTL,与该位点紧密连锁的标记可用于抗灰飞虱快速选择辅助育种。     

QTLs for chlorophyll and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in barley under post-flowering drought

Drought is one of the major factors limiting barley yields in many developing countries worldwide. The identification of molecular markers linked to genes controlling drought tolerance in barley is one way to improve breeding efficiency. In this study, we analyzed the quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence in 194 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from the cross between the cultivar ‘Arta’ and Hordeum spontaneum 41-1. Five traits, chlorophyll content, and four chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, namely initial fluorescence (F_o), maximum fluorescence (F_m), variable fluorescence (F_v), and maximum quantum efficiency of PSII (F_v/F_m) which are related to the activity of the photosynthetic apparatus, were measured under well-watered and drought stress conditions at post-flowering stage. QTL analysis identified a total of nine and five genomic regions, under well-watered and drought stress conditions, respectively, that were significantly associated with the expression of the five target traits at post-flowering stage. No common QTL was detected except one for chlorophyll content, which was identified in both growth conditions, demonstrating that the genetic control of the expression of the traits related to photosynthesis differed under different water conditions. A QTL for F_v/F_m, which is related to the drought tolerance of photosynthesis was identified on chromosome 2H at 116 cM in the linkage map under drought stress. This QTL alone explained more than 15% of phenotypic variance of maximum quantum yield of PSII, and was also associated with the expression of four other traits. In addition, another QTL for F_v/F_m was also located on the same chromosome (2H) but at 135.7 cM explaining around 9% of the phenotypic variance under drought conditions. The result presented here suggest that two major loci, located on chromosome 2H, are involved in the development of functional chloroplast at post-flowering stage for drought tolerance of photosynthesis in barley under drought stress. If validated in other populations, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters could be used as selection criteria for drought tolerance.     

Two novel QTLs regulate internode elongation in deepwater rice during the early vegetative stage

Deepwater rice possesses internode elongation ability to avoid drowning under deepwater conditions. Previous studies identified three QTLs regulating internode elongation ability on chromosomes 1, 3 and 12 using different populations. However, these QTLs only induce internode elongation in response to deepwater conditions from the 7-leaf stage and not during the early leaf stage. In this study, we detected two novel QTLs, qTIL2 and qTIL4 regulating deepwater response at the early leaf stage using an F₂ population derived from the cross between NIL1-3-12 carrying the three QTLs regulating deepwater response in T65 (O. sativa ssp. japonica) genetic background and C9285 (O. sativa ssp. indica, deepwater rice). Plants of the BC₂F₂ population derived from NIL1-3-12/C9285 and the RILs of T65/Bhadua (O. sativa ssp. indica, deepwater rice) possessing these QTLs as well as the three QTLs previously identified also showed internode elongation during the early leaf stage. These results indicate that qTIL2 and qTIL4 regulate early internode elongation and function in coordination with the three major QTLs under deepwater conditions. The results presented here would not only help define the mechanism of deepwater response in rice but also contribute in the breeding of deepwater tolerant rice that is adapted to various water depths.

Prediction of heterosis using QTLs for yield traits in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

Three double low (erucic acid and glucosinolates) self-incompatible lines and 22 varieties from different origins were selected to produce 66 hybrids according to a NC II mating design. Field experiments for identification of hybrid performance and heterosis were conducted in two successive rapeseed growing seasons in Wuhan, China. After heterosis identifications, SI-1300 and Eagle were chosen to construct an F₂ segregating population. One hundred and eighty four F_2:3 lines were planted at Wuhan and Jingmen to test yield traits. F₂ plants and the 25 parents were analyzed using simultaneously AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) and SSR (simple sequence repeat) markers. A total of 270 and 718 polymorphic loci were detected in the F₂ population and among the 25 parental lines, respectively. Of the 718 polymorphic loci, 178 were significantly correlated to yield traits. With the use of one-way ANOVA, 84 common QTLs were detected for 12 traits at two trial locations. Although the genetic distances based on general/specific heterozygosities and single-locus QTLs showed significant correlations with hybrid performance and heterosis for some yield traits, the determination coefficients were low. The results suggested that neither heterozygosities nor QTLs for yield traits were suitable to predict hybrid performance and heterosis in Brassica napus.

Detection of epistatic and environmental interaction QTLs for leaf orientation‐related traits in maize

Leaf architecture traits in maize are quantitative and have been studied by quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping. However, additional QTLs for these traits require mapping and the interactions between mapped QTLs require studying because of the complicated genetic nature of these traits. To detect common QTLs and to find new ones, we investigated the maize traits of leaf angle, leaf flagging‐point length, leaf length and leaf orientation value using a set of recombinant inbred line populations and single nucleotide polymorphism markers. In total, 19 QTLs contributed 4.13–13.52% of the phenotypic effects to the corresponding traits that were mapped, and their candidate genes are provided. Common and major QTLs have also been detected. All of the QTLs showed significant additive effects and non‐significant additive × environment effects in combined environments. The majority showed additive × additive epistasis effects and non‐significant QTL × environment effects under single environments. Common and major QTLs provided information for fine mapping and gene cloning, and SNP markers can be used for marker‐assisted selection breeding.
