Identification of quantitative trait loci associated with canopy temperature in soybean.

ABSTRACT: A consistent risk for soybean (Glycine max L.) production is the impact of drought on growth and yield. Canopy temperature (CT) is an indirect measure of transpiration rate and stomatal conductance and may be valuable in distinguishing differences among genotypes in response to drought. The objective of this study was to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with CT using thermal infrared imaging in a population of recombinant inbred lines developed from a cross between KS4895 and Jackson. Heritability of CT was 35% when estimated across environments. QTL analysis identified 11 loci for CT distributed on eight chromosomes that individually explained between 4.6 and 12.3% of the phenotypic variation. The locus on Gm11 was identified in two individual environments and across environments and explained the highest proportion of phenotypic variation (9.3% to 11.5%) in CT. Several of these CT loci coincided with the genomic regions from previous studies associated with canopy wilting, canopy temperature, water use efficiency, and other morpho-physiological traits related with drought tolerance. Candidate genes with biological function related to transpiration, root development, and signal transduction underlie these putative CT loci. These genomic regions may be important resources in soybean breeding programs to improve tolerance to drought.

Project description:Iron (Fe) is a limiting factor in crop growth and nutritional quality because of its low solubility. However, the current understanding of how major crops respond to Fe deficiency and the genetic basis remains limited. In the present study, Fe-efficient inbred line Ye478 and Fe-inefficient inbred line Wu312 and their recombinant inbred line (RIL) population were utilized to reveal the physiological and genetic responses of maize to low Fe stress. Compared with the Fe-sufficient conditions (+Fe: 200 μM), Fe-deficient supply (-Fe: 30 μM) significantly reduced shoot and root dry weights, leaf SPAD of Fe-efficient inbred line Ye478 by 31.4, 31.8, and 46.0%, respectively; decreased Fe-inefficient inbred line Wu312 by 72.0, 45.1, and 84.1%, respectively. Under Fe deficiency, compared with the supply of calcium nitrate (N1), supplying ammonium nitrate (N2) significantly increased the shoot and root dry weights of Wu312 by 37.5 and 51.6%, respectively; and enhanced Ye478 by 23.9 and 45.1%, respectively. Compared with N1, N2 resulted in a 70.0% decrease of the root Fe concentration for Wu312 in the -Fe treatment, N2 treatment reduced the root Fe concentration of Ye478 by 55.8% in the -Fe treatment. These findings indicated that, compared with only supplying nitrate nitrogen, combined supply of ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen not only contributed to better growth in maize but also significantly reduced Fe concentration in roots. In linkage analysis, ten quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with Fe deficiency tolerance were detected, explaining 6.2-12.0% of phenotypic variation. Candidate genes considered to be associated with the mechanisms underlying Fe deficiency tolerance were identified within a single locus or QTL co-localization, including ZmYS3, ZmPYE, ZmEIL3, ZmMYB153, ZmILR3 and ZmNAS4, which may form a sophisticated network to regulate the uptake, transport and redistribution of Fe. Furthermore, ZmYS3 was highly induced by Fe deficiency in the roots; ZmPYE and ZmEIL3, which may be involved in Fe homeostasis in strategy I plants, were significantly upregulated in the shoots and roots under low Fe stress; ZmMYB153 was Fe-deficiency inducible in the shoots. Our findings will provide a comprehensive insight into the physiological and genetic basis of Fe deficiency tolerance.
