Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping for Drought Tolerance in Soybean Recombinant Inbred Line Population.

ABSTRACT: Improving drought stress tolerance of soybean could be an effective way to minimize the yield reduction in the drought prevailing regions. Identification of drought tolerance-related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) is useful to facilitate the development of stress-tolerant varieties. This study aimed to identify the QTLs for drought tolerance in soybean using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population developed from the cross between a drought-tolerant 'PI416937' and a susceptible 'Cheonsang' cultivar. Phenotyping was done with a weighted drought coefficient derived from the vegetative and reproductive traits. The genetic map was constructed using 2648 polymorphic SNP markers that distributed on 20 chromosomes with a mean genetic distance of 1.36 cM between markers. A total of 10 QTLs with 3.52-4.7 logarithm of odds value accounting for up to 12.9% phenotypic variance were identified on seven chromosomes. Five chromosomes-2, 7, 10, 14, and 20-contained one QTL each, and chromosomes 1 and 19 harbored two and three QTLs, respectively. The chromosomal locations of seven QTLs overlapped or located close to the related QTLs and/or potential candidate genes reported earlier. The QTLs and closely linked markers could be utilized in maker-assisted selection to accelerate the breeding for drought tolerance in soybean.

Project description:Pythium root rot is one of the significant diseases of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in the United States. The causal agent of the disease is a soil-borne oomycete pathogen Pythium irregulare, the most prevalent and aggressive species of Pythium in North Central United States. However, few studies have been conducted in soybean for the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for tolerance to P. irregulare In this study, two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations (designated as POP1 and POP2) were challenged with P. irregulare (isolate CMISO2-5-14) in a greenhouse assay. POP1 and POP2 were derived from 'E09014' × 'E05226-T' and 'E05226-T' × 'E09088', and contained 113 and 79 lines, respectively. Parental tests indicated that 'E05226-T' and 'E09014' were more tolerant than 'E09088', while 'E09088' was highly susceptible to the pathogen. The disease indices, root weight of inoculation (RWI) and ratio of root weight (RRW) of both populations showed near normal distributions, with transgressive segregation, suggesting the involvement of multiple QTL from both parents contributed to the tolerance. All the lines were genotyped using Illumina Infinium BARCSoySNP6K iSelect BeadChip and yielded 1373 and 1384 polymorphic markers for POP1 and POP2, respectively. Notably, despite high density, polymorphic markers coverage was incomplete in some genomic regions. As such, 28 and 37 linkage groups were obtained in POP1 and POP2, respectively corresponding to the 20 soybean chromosomes. Using RRW, one QTL was identified in POP1 on Chromosome 20 that explained 12.7-13.3% of phenotypic variation. The desirable allele of this QTL was from 'E05226-T'. Another QTL was found in POP2 on Chromosome 11. It explained 15.4% of the phenotypic variation and the desirable allele was from 'E09088'. However, no QTL were identified using RWI in either population. These results supported that RRW was more suitable to be used to evaluate P. irregulare tolerance in soybean.
