The Hot QTL Locations for Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium Nutrition and Agronomic Traits at Seedling and Maturity Stages of Wheat under Different Potassium Treatments.

ABSTRACT: Potassium (K) is one of the most important mineral nutrients for wheat. In this study, the effects of low K (LK) treatments and the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for K, calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) use efficiency traits, both at the seedling and maturity stages of wheat, were investigated. The set of "Tainong 18 × Linmai 6" recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were used to identify the QTLs under different K treatments using hydroponic culture and field trials. The majority of K concentrations and content-related traits at seedling and maturity stages decreased with reduced K supply, but the K use efficiency-related traits increased. In contrast, with reduced K supply, the contents of Ca and Mg increased, while the Ca and Mg use efficiency decreased. A total of 217 QTLs for seedling traits and 89 QTLs for adult traits were detected. Four relatively high-frequency QTLs (RHF-QTLs) and 18 QTL clusters (colocation of QTLs for more than two traits) were detected. Eight clusters were detected for K-, Ca-, and Mg-related traits simultaneously. This means that these traits might be controlled by the same QTL. In addition, we highlight that 4B might be an important chromosome regulating the nutrition of K, Ca, and Mg in wheat. The 4B chromosome and four hot QTL clusters, which located 45 QTLs, might be important potential targets for further investigation.

QTL Mapping of Agronomic and Physiological Traits at the Seedling and Maturity Stages under Different Nitrogen Treatments in Barley.

Project description:Nitrogen (N) stress seriously constrains barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) production globally by influencing its growth and development. In this study, we used a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of 121 crosses between the variety Baudin and the wild barley accession CN4027 to detect QTL for 27 traits at the seedling stage in hydroponic culture trials and 12 traits at the maturity stage in field trials both under two N treatments, aiming to uncover favorable alleles for N tolerance in wild barley. In total, eight stable QTL and seven QTL clusters were detected. Among them, the stable QTL Qtgw.sau-2H located in a 0.46 cM interval on the chromosome arm 2HL was a novel QTL specific for low N. Notably, Clusters C4 and C7 contained QTL for traits at both the seedling and maturity stages. In addition, four stable QTLs in Cluster C4 were identified. Furthermore, a gene (HORVU2Hr1G080990.1) related to grain protein in the interval of Qtgw.sau-2H was predicted. Correlation analysis and QTL mapping showed that different N treatments significantly affected agronomic and physiological traits at the seedling and maturity stages. These results provide valuable information for understanding N tolerance as well as breeding and utilizing the loci of interest in barley.

QTL Mapping for Phosphorus Efficiency and Morphological Traits at Seedling and Maturity Stages in Wheat.

Project description:Phosphorus (P) efficiency (PE), which comprises phosphorus uptake (PupE) and utilization efficiency (PutE), is considered as one of the most important factors for crop yield. In the present study, 11 seedling traits and 13 maturity traits related to wheat PE and morphology were investigated using a set of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the cross of "TN 18 × LM 6," under hydroponic culture trials and field trials at low P (LP) and normal P (NP) levels in two different years, respectively. The LP input reduced of biomass, yield and PupE traits, but increased PutE traits. A total of 163 QTLs for seedling and maturity traits under different P levels and their AV, and 15 QTLs for relative traits were detected on 21 chromosomes. Of these, 49 and 63 QTLs for were detected specially in LP and NP treatments, respectively. We found 11 relatively high-frequency QTLs (RHF-QTLs) and four important QTL clusters, which may be the potential targets for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in wheat breeding programs for PE. Favorable relationships for breeding programs were found in the four important QTL clusters, which allow the possibility of improving the morphological traits and PutE simultaneously. A total of 29 markers which associated with 51 QTLs were found highly homologous with EST sequences, which suggested that they were potential functional loci. We suggested that the four biomass traits (SDW, RDW, TDW, and RSDW), five yield traits (SN, PH, TGW, GWP, and StWP) and two relative traits (Rstwp and Rgwp) can be considered as the primary indexes for the evaluation of PE for they are easy to identify on a large-scale.

Detection and Verification of QTL for Salinity Tolerance at Germination and Seedling Stages Using Wild Barley Introgression Lines.

Project description:Salinity is one of the major environmental factors that negatively affect crop development, particularly at the early growth stage of a plant and consequently the final yield. Therefore, a set of 50 wild barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum, Hsp) introgression lines (ILs) was used to detect QTL alleles improving germination and seedling growth under control, 75 mM, and 150 mM NaCl conditions. Large variation was observed for germination and seedling growth related traits that were highly heritable under salinity stress. In addition, highly significant differences were obtained for five salinity tolerance indices and between treatments as well. A total of 90 and 35 significant QTL were identified for ten investigated traits and for tolerance indices, respectively. The Hsp introgression alleles are involved in improving salinity tolerance at forty (43.9%) out of 90 QTL including introgression lines S42IL-109 (2H), S42IL-116 (4H), S42IL-132 (6H), S42IL-133 (7H), S42IL-148 (6H), and S42IL-176 (5H). Interestingly, seven exotic QTL alleles were successfully validated in the wild barley ILs including S42IL-127 (5H), 139 (7H), 125 (5H), 117 (4H), 118 (4H), 121 (4H), and 137 (7H). We conclude that the barley introgression lines contain numerous germination and seedling growth-improving novel QTL alleles, which are effective under salinity conditions.

Identification of candidate genes involved in salt stress response at germination and seedling stages by QTL mapping in upland cotton.

Project description:Salinity is a major abiotic stress at critical stages of seed germination and seedling establishment. Germination rate (GR) and field emergence rate (FER) are the key traits that determine the basic number of plants stand under field conditions. To explore molecular mechanisms in upland cotton under salt stress, a population of 177 recombinant inbred lines, and their parents were evaluated for seed germination traits (GP, germination potential; GR; FW, fresh weight; DW, dry weight; GL, germinal length) and seedling traits (FER; SH, seedling height; NL, number of main stem leaves) in 2016-2018. Based on the linkage map contained 2,859 single nucleotide polymorphism and simple sequence repeat markers, traits under salt stress (E1) and normal conditions (E2), and in the converted relative index (R-value) dataset of 3 years' trials were used to map quantitative trait loci (QTL). A total of 3 QTL and 2 clusters were detected as salt-tolerant QTL. Three QTL (qGR-Chr4-3, qFER-Chr12-3, and qFER-Chr15-1) were detected under salt stress conditions and R-value dataset, which explained variance of phenotype 9.62-13.67%, and 4.2-4.72%, 4.75-8.96%, respectively. Two clusters (Loci-Chr4-2 and Loci-Chr5-4) harboring the QTL for 4 germination traits (GR, FER, GL, and NL) and 6 seedling traits (GR, FER, DW, FW, SH, and NL) were detected related under salt stress. A total of 691 genes were found in the candidate QTL or clusters. Among them, 4 genes (Gh_A04G1106, Gh_A05G3246, Gh_A05G3177, and Gh_A05G3266) showed expression differences between salt-sensitive and -tolerant lines under salt stress conditions, and were assigned as candidate genes in response to salt stress. The consistent salt-tolerance QTL identified in both germination and seedling stages will facilitate novel insights into effective utilization of cotton genetic resources.

Genome-Wide Association Study and QTL Meta-Analysis Identified Novel Genomic Loci Controlling Potassium Use Efficiency and Agronomic Traits in Bread Wheat.

Project description:Potassium use efficiency, a complex trait, directly impacts the yield potential of crop plants. Low potassium efficiency leads to a high use of fertilizers, which is not only farmer unfriendly but also deteriorates the environment. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are widely used to dissect complex traits. However, most studies use single-locus one-dimensional GWAS models which do not provide true information about complex traits that are controlled by multiple loci. Here, both single-locus GWAS (MLM) and multi-locus GWAS (pLARmEB, FASTmrMLM, mrMLM, FASTmrEMMA) models were used with genotyping from 90 K Infinium SNP array and phenotype derived from four normal and potassium-stress environments, which identified 534 significant marker-trait associations (MTA) for agronomic and potassium related traits: pLARmEB = 279, FASTmrMLM = 213, mrMLM = 35, MLM = 6, FASTmrEMMA = 1. Further screening of these MTA led to the detection of eleven stable loci: q1A, q1D, q2B-1, q2B-2, q2D, q4D, q5B-1, q5B-2, q5B-3, q6D, and q7A. Moreover, Meta-QTL (MQTL) analysis of four independent QTL studies for potassium deficiency in bread wheat located 16 MQTL on 13 chromosomes. One locus identified in this study (q5B-1) colocalized with an MQTL (MQTL_11 ), while the other ten loci were novel associations. Gene ontology of these loci identified 20 putative candidate genes encoding functional proteins involved in key pathways related to stress tolerance, sugar metabolism, and nutrient transport. These findings provide potential targets for breeding potassium stress resistant wheat cultivars and advocate the advantages of multi-locus GWAS models for studying complex traits.

A Haplotype-Based GWAS Identified Trait-Improving QTL Alleles Controlling Agronomic Traits under Contrasting Nitrogen Fertilization Treatments in the MAGIC Wheat Population WM-800.

Project description:The multi-parent-advanced-generation-intercross (MAGIC) population WM-800 was developed by intercrossing eight modern winter wheat cultivars to enhance the genetic diversity present in breeding populations. We cultivated WM-800 during two seasons in seven environments under two contrasting nitrogen fertilization treatments. WM-800 lines exhibited highly significant differences between treatments, as well as high heritabilities among the seven agronomic traits studied. The highest-yielding WM-line achieved an average yield increase of 4.40 dt/ha (5.2%) compared to the best founder cultivar Tobak. The subsequent genome-wide-association-study (GWAS), which was based on haplotypes, located QTL for seven agronomic traits including grain yield. In total, 40, 51, and 46 QTL were detected under low, high, and across nitrogen treatments, respectively. For example, the effect of QYLD_3A could be associated with the haplotype allele of cultivar Julius increasing yield by an average of 4.47 dt/ha (5.2%). A novel QTL on chromosome 2B exhibited pleiotropic effects, acting simultaneously on three-grain yield components (ears-per-square-meter, grains-per-ear, and thousand-grain-weight) and plant-height. These effects may be explained by a member of the nitrate-transporter-1 (NRT1)/peptide-family, TaNPF5.34, located 1.05 Mb apart. The WM-800 lines and favorable QTL haplotypes, associated with yield improvements, are currently implemented in wheat breeding programs to develop advanced nitrogen-use efficient wheat cultivars.

To explore molecular mechanisms in upland cotton under salt stress, a population of 177 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) and their parents were evaluated for seed germination traits (GP, germination potential; GR; FW, fresh weight; DW, dry weight; GL, germinal length) and seedling traits (FER; SH, seedling height; NL, Number of main stem leaves) in 2016-2018. Based on the linkage map contained 2,859 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers, traits under salt stress (E1) and normal condition, (E2) and the converted relative index (R-value) of three years’ trials were used to map quantitative trait loci (QTL). A total of three QTL and two clusters were detected as salt-tolerant QTL. Three QTL (qGR-Chr4-3, qFER-Chr12-3, qFER-Chr15-1) were detected under salt stress and R-value, which explained phenotypic variance of 9.62%-13.67%, and 4.2%-4.72%, 4.75%-8.96%, respectively. Two clusters (Loci-Chr4-2 and Loci-Chr5-4) harboring the QTL for four germination traits (GR, FER, GL, NL) and six seedling traits (GR, FER, DW, FW, SH, NL) were detected related under salt stress. A total of 691 genes were found in the candidate QTL or clusters. Among them, four genes (Gh_A04G1106, Gh_A05G3246, Gh_A05G3177, Gh_A05G3266) showed expression changes between sensitive and tolerant lines under salt stress, and were assigned as candidate genes in response to salt stress. The consistent salt-tolerance QTL identified in both germination and seedling stages will facilitate new information for cotton breeding.

Gene expression analysis of rice seedling under potassium deprivation

Project description:Potassium is one of the essential macronutrients required for plant growth and development. It plays a major role in different physiological processes like cell elongation, stomatal movement, turgor regulation, osmotic adjustment, and signal transduction by acting as a major osmolyte and component of the ionic environment in the cytosol and subcellular organelles. We used whole genome microarrays to determine the transcriptomic profile of rice seedlings exposed to short-term K+ deficiency followed by K+ resupply.

Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat.

Project description:Seedling root traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have been shown to be important for efficient establishment and linked to mature plant traits such as height and yield. A root phenotyping pipeline, consisting of a germination paper-based screen combined with image segmentation and analysis software, was developed and used to characterize seedling traits in 94 doubled haploid progeny derived from a cross between the winter wheat cultivars Rialto and Savannah. Field experiments were conducted to measure mature plant height, grain yield, and nitrogen (N) uptake in three sites over 2 years. In total, 29 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for seedling root traits were identified. Two QTLs for grain yield and N uptake co-localize with root QTLs on chromosomes 2B and 7D, respectively. Of the 29 root QTLs identified, 11 were found to co-localize on 6D, with four of these achieving highly significant logarithm of odds scores (>20). These results suggest the presence of a major-effect gene regulating seedling root vigour/growth on chromosome 6D.
