The contribution of photosynthesis traits and plant height components to plant height in wheat at the individual quantitative trait locus level.

ABSTRACT: Plant height is an important agronomic trait for morphogenesis and grain yield formation in wheat. In this study, we performed both normal and multivariate conditional quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses for plant height with spike length, internode number, length of the first internode to the sixth internode from the top during harvest, and photosynthesis traits at the seedling stage and heading stage based on a recombinant inbred line population. A total of 49 normal QTLs were detected, as well as 312 conditional QTLs. The genetic region Xbcd1970-Xbcd262 on chromosome 2D harbored the most QTLs, with 6 normal QTLs and 39 conditional QTLs. A comparison between the normal and conditional QTL mapping analyses suggested that the length of the third internode, fourth internode, and fifth internode from the top showed a high genetic association with plant height, whereas all photosynthesis traits showed weaker associations. This comparative analysis could serve as a platform for dissecting the genetic relation between objective traits and other phenotypic traits before manipulation of genes collocated with QTL clusters.

Project description:A genome-wide association study (GWAS) for 10 yield and yield component traits was conducted using an association panel comprising 225 diverse spring wheat genotypes. The panel was genotyped using 10,904 SNPs and evaluated for three years (2016-2019), which constituted three environments (E1, E2 and E3). Heritability for different traits ranged from 29.21 to 97.69%. Marker-trait associations (MTAs) were identified for each trait using data from each environment separately and also using BLUP values. Four different models were used, which included three single trait models (CMLM, FarmCPU, SUPER) and one multi-trait model (mvLMM). Hundreds of MTAs were obtained using each model, but after Bonferroni correction, only 6 MTAs for 3 traits were available using CMLM, and 21 MTAs for 4 traits were available using FarmCPU; none of the 525 MTAs obtained using SUPER could qualify after Bonferroni correction. Using BLUP, 20 MTAs were available, five of which also figured among MTAs identified for individual environments. Using mvLMM model, after Bonferroni correction, 38 multi-trait MTAs, for 15 different trait combinations were available. Epistatic interactions involving 28 pairs of MTAs were also available for seven of the 10 traits; no epistatic interactions were available for GNPS, PH, and BYPP. As many as 164 putative candidate genes (CGs) were identified using all the 50 MTAs (CMLM, 3; FarmCPU, 9; mvLMM, 6, epistasis, 21 and BLUP, 11 MTAs), which ranged from 20 (CMLM) to 66 (epistasis) CGs. In-silico expression analysis of CGs was also conducted in different tissues at different developmental stages. The information generated through the present study proved useful for developing a better understanding of the genetics of each of the 10 traits; the study also provided novel markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS) to be utilized for the development of wheat cultivars with improved agronomic traits.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11032-021-01240-1.

Project description:Identification of genes for yield components, plant height (PH), and yield-related physiological traits and tightly linked molecular markers is of great importance in marker-assisted selection (MAS) in wheat breeding. In the present study, 246 F8 RILs derived from the cross of Zhou 8425B/Chinese Spring were genotyped using the high-density Illumina iSelect 90K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) assay. Field trials were conducted at Zhengzhou and Zhoukou of Henan Province, during the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 cropping season under irrigated conditions, providing data for four environments. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of agronomic and physiological traits revealed significant differences (P < 0.01) among RILs, environments, and RILs × environments interactions. Broad-sense heritabilities of all traits including thousand kernel weight (TKW), PH, spike length (SL), kernel number per spike (KNS), spike number/m(2) (SN), normalized difference in vegetation index at anthesis (NDVI-A) and at 10 days post-anthesis (NDVI-10), SPAD value of chlorophyll content at anthesis (Chl-A) and at 10 days post-anthesis (Chl-10) ranged between 0.65 and 0.94. A linkage map spanning 3609.4 cM was constructed using 5636 polymorphic SNP markers, with an average chromosome length of 171.9 cM and marker density of 0.64 cM/marker. A total of 866 SNP markers were newly mapped to the hexaploid wheat linkage map. Eighty-six QTL for yield components, PH, and yield-related physiological traits were detected on 18 chromosomes except 1D, 5D, and 6D, explaining 2.3-33.2% of the phenotypic variance. Ten stable QTL were identified across four environments, viz. QTKW.caas-6A.1, QTKW.caas-7AL, QKNS.caas-4AL, QSN.caas-1AL.1, QPH.caas-4BS.2, QPH.caas-4DS.1, QSL.caas-4AS, QSL.caas-4AL.1, QChl-A.caas-5AL, and QChl-10.caas-5BL. Meanwhile, 10 QTL-rich regions were found on chromosome 1BS, 2AL (2), 3AL, 4AL (2), 4BS, 4DS, 5BL, and 7AL exhibiting pleiotropic effects. These QTL or QTL clusters are tightly linked to SNP markers, with genetic distances to the closest SNPs ranging from 0 to 1.5 cM, and could serve as target regions for fine mapping, candidate gene discovery, and MAS in wheat breeding.
