SDS-sedimentation volume (SV) is a biochemical index widely used to evaluate flour quality in durum and bread wheats. Significant association between SV and endosperm proteins (gliadin, high-molecular-weight- and low-molecular-weight-glutenin subunits) have been reported. Protein loci, however, account for only a portion of the total genetic variability. The objective of this study was to identify and locate quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with SV in a set of recombinant inbred (RI) lines, derived from a cross between the cv.‘Messapia’ of durum wheat and the accession MG4343 of the var. dicoccoides, and characterized for 259 genetic and molecular (RFLP) markers. Significant differences were detected for the quality index in the six environments examined, while the pattern of variability was that of a quantitative trait. Regression analysis of marker loci and sedimentation volume indicated, as expected, that chromosome 1B, on which are located the Gli-B 1/Glu-B 3 loci for some gliadin and glutenin subunits, is important for wheat quality. Two additional regions located on chromosomes 6AL and 7BS, and four regions on 1AL, 3AS, 3BL and 5AL, were shown to have single-factor effects on sedimentation volume at P < 0.001 and P < 0.01, respectively. Positive effects were contributed by both parents. A multiple linear regression model consisting of seven significant loci on different chromosomes explained 62–91% of the genotypic variation of the trait. The availability of linked markers to QTLs may facilitate the genetic dissection of quantitative traits and the early selection in wheat breeding programmes. 相似文献

Cotton is one of the most important oil-producing crops and the cottonseed meal provides important protein nutrients as animal feed. However, information on the genetic basis of cottonseed oil and protein contents is lacking. A backcross inbred line (BIL) population from a cross between Gossypium hirsutum as the recurrent parent and G. barbadense was used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for cottonseed oil, protein, and gossypol contents. The BIL population of 146 lines together with the two parental lines was tested in the same location for three years in China. Based on a genetic map of 392 SSR markers and a total genetic distance of 2,895.2 cM, 17 QTLs on 12 chromosomes for oil content, 22 QTLs on 12 chromosomes for protein content and three QTLs on two chromosomes for gossypol content were detected. Seed oil content was significantly and negatively correlated with seed protein content, which can be explained by eight QTLs for both oil and protein contents co-localized in the same regions but with opposite additive effects. This research represents the first report using a permanent advanced backcross inbred population of an interspecific hybrid population to identify QTLs for seed quality traits in cotton in three environments. 相似文献

Quantitative trait loci for resistance to Fusarium head blight in recombinant inbred wheat lines from the cross Huapei 57-2 / Patterson 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Fusarium head blight (FHB), primarily caused by Fusarium graminearum in North America, often results in significant losses in yield and grain quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Evaluation of FHB resistance is laborious and can be affected by environmental conditions. The development of DNA markers
associated with FHB quantitative trait loci (QTL) and their use in breeding programs could greatly enhance selection. The
objective of this study was to identify the location and effect of QTLs for FHB resistance using simple sequence repeat (SSR)
markers. A population of wheat recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross ‘Huapei57-2’/‘Patterson’ was characterized
for type II resistance in one field experiment and two tests under controlled conditions in the greenhouse. Bulked segregant
analysis followed by QTL mapping was used to identify the major segregating QTLs. Results indicate that ‘Huapei 57-2’ may
have the same resistance allele as ‘Sumai3’ at a QTL located on the short arm of chromosome 3B. Other QTLs of lower effect
size were identified on the long arm of 3Band on chromosomes 3A and 5B. Our findings along with results from other studies
demonstrate that the effect of the QTL on3BS is large and consistent across a wide range of genetic backgrounds and environments.
Pyramiding this QTL with other FHB QTLs using marker-assisted selection should be effective in improving FHB resistance in
a wheat breeding program.

The photoperiod/temperature-sensitive genic male sterile (P/TGMS) character is important for use of heterosis in hybrid wheat. In the present study, the fertility of 172 doubled haploid (DH) lines derived from the cross between a P/TGMS wheat line BS366 and a restorer wheat line Baiyu149 was investigated under both fertile and sterile environments during three cropping seasons. The phenotype was recorded based on the international seed setting rate. A total of 167 SSR and 1,278 SNP markers were used to construct a linkage map, with a total length of 3,748.94 cM and an average marker interval of 2.59 cM. Three QTLs were identified and designated as QF.bhw-2DS, QF.bhw-4BS and QF.bhw-7Al, explaining 6.9%–12.8%, 19.7%–25.6% and 7.2%–8.8% of the phenotypic variances, respectively. These results lay a good basis for application of male sterility-related molecular markers in improvement of two-line hybrid wheat breeding system. 相似文献

In order to characterise quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for Type I and Type II resistance against Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat, a population of recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross Cansas (moderately resistant)/Ritmo (susceptible) was evaluated in spray-inoculated field trials over three seasons. Map-based QTL analysis across environments revealed seven QTLs on chromosomes 1BS, 1DS, 3B, 3DL, 5BL, 7BS and 7AL (QFhs.whs-1B, QFhs.whs-1D, QFhs.whs-3B, QFhs.whs-3D, QFhs.whs-5B, QFhs.whs-7A, QFhs.whs-7B) associated with FHB resistance. They accounted for 56% of the phenotypic variance. QFhs.whs-1D primarily appeared to be involved in resistance to fungal penetration, whereas the other QTLs mainly contributed to resistance to fungal spread. FHB resistance was significantly correlated with plant height (PH) and heading date (HD). Including all single environments, corresponding overlaps of QTLs for FHB resistance and QTLs for PH/HD occurred at six loci, among them two consistently detected QTLs, QFhs.whs-5B and QFhs.whs-7A. When significant effects of PH and HD on FHB resistance were eliminated by covariance analysis, a second QTL analysis revealed possible escape mechanisms for the majority of the coincidental loci. 相似文献

Polymorphism of waxy proteins in Spanish durum wheats 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A collection of 547 durum wheats (103 cultivars and 444 landraces) from Spain was analysed for waxy protein composition. The electrophoretic patterns showed low polymorphism. At the Wx‐A1 locus, 99.8% of the wheats had the Wx‐Ala allele and only one had the null Wx‐Alb allele. The Wx‐Bl locus was more polymorphic and four different alleles were detected: Wx‐Bla (41.3%), Wx‐Blc (42.6%), a new allele, not detected before in bread wheat and named Wx‐Blf (16.0%), and the null Wx‐Blb allele, found for the first time in one durum wheat. Eleven durum wheats with different allelic composition at the Wx‐l loci were analysed for amylose content. Wheats with the Wx‐Bla allele had a lower amylose content than those with Wx‐Blc or Wx‐Blf. The lowest amylase content was found in the only durum wheat having the null Wx‐Blb allele. 相似文献

Flowering time is an important trait for the adaptation of wheat to its target environments. To identify chromosome regions
associated with flowering time in wheat, a whole genome scan was conducted with five sets of field trial data on a recombinant
inbred lines (RIL) population derived from the cross of spring wheat cultivars ‘Nanda 2419’ and ‘Wangshuibai’. The identified
QTLs involved seven chromosomal regions, among which QFlt.nau-1B and QFlt.nau-2B were homoeologous to QFlt.nau-1D and QFlt.nau-2D, respectively. Nanda 2419, the earlier flowering parent, contributed early flowering alleles at five of these QTLs. QFlt.nau-1B and QFlt.nau-7B had the largest effects in all trials and were mapped to the Xwmc59.2–Xbarc80 interval on chromosome 1BS and the Xgwm537–Xgwm333 interval on 7BS. Most of the mapped QTL intervals were not coincident with known vernalization response or photoperiod sensitivity
loci and QFlt.nau-1B seems to be an orthologue of EpsA
m
1. Four pairs of loci showed significant interactions across environments in determining flowering time, all of which involved
QFlt.nau-1B. These findings are of significance to wheat breeding programs. 相似文献

The molecular marker technology has been used on mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with plant resistance.
The objectives of this research were to estimate genetic parameters and to map genomic regions involved in the resistance
to gray leaf spot in maize. Ninety F3 families from the BS03 (susceptible) and BS04 (resistant) cross were used. Field trials were performed using a 10 × 10 square
lattice design with three replications. Data from 62 SSR markers were used for linkage analysis. The locations of the QTLs
on the linkage groups were determined by composite interval mapping method and the phenotypic variance explained by each marker
was determined by regression analysis. Several QTLs associated to disease resistance were identified in the population BS03 × BS04.
Some QTLs showed significant effects over the different environments studied. The existence of significant QTLs in common
among different environments indicates these genomic regions as possible new tools for marker-assisted selection in maize
breeding programs. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with flour yellow color (Fb*) and yellow pigment
content (YPC) in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum). Additionally, QTLs affecting flour redness (Fa*) and brightness (FL*) color parameters were investigated. A population
of 93 RILs (UC1113 × Kofa) was evaluated in three locations of Argentina over 2 years. High heritability values (>94%) were
obtained for Fb* and YPC, whereas FL* and Fa* showed intermediate to high values. The main QTLs affecting Fb* and YPC overlapped
on chromosome arms 4AL (4AL.2), 6AL (6AL.2), 7AS, 7AL, 7BS (7BS.2) and 7BL (7BL.2). The 7BL.1 QTL included the Psy-B1 locus, but one additional linked QTL was detected. A novel minor QTL located on 7AS affected Fb*, with an epistatic effect
on YPC. An epistatic interaction occurred between the 7AL and 7BL.2 QTLs. The 4AL.2 QTL showed a strong effect on Fb* and
was involved in two digenic epistatic interactions. The 6AL.2 QTL explained most of the variation for Fb* and YPC. The main
QTLs affecting FL* and Fa* were located on 2BS and 7BL, respectively. These results confirm the complex inheritance of flour
color traits and open the possibility of developing perfect markers to improve pasta quality in Argentinean breeding programs. 相似文献

Seed longevity could significantly determine seed regeneration cycle and greatly affect wheat production. With the 90 K chip assays, a genome-wide association study was performed to identify seed longevity-related markers and loci in common wheat. Seed germination ratios (GR) under artificially ageing of 166 wheat accessions across three environments were evaluated to assess seed longevity. Totally, 23 longevity-related loci were identified in the study, explaining 6.7%–11.4% of the phenotypic variations. Of these, QlgGR.cas-1A and QlgGR.cas-2B.2 were deemed as stable loci associated with wheat seed longevity. Fifteen loci were found overlapped with known quantitative trait loci or genes. Besides, QlgGR.cas-1A, QlgGR.cas-2B.2, QlgGR.cas-3D.1, QlgGR.cas-3D.2, QlgGR.cas-4A.2, QlgGR.cas-5A.1, QlgGR.cas-5A.2 and QlgGR.cas-6A.1 were colocated with seed dormancy-related loci. Significant additive effects were obtained for seed longevity by pyramiding favourable alleles. Several candidate genes were found involved in signal transduction and stress resistance pathways by sequencing analysis of significantly longevity-related molecular markers. These results might provide new sights into the genetic architecture of seed longevity. 相似文献

The meal value of Soybean for monogastric animals is determined partly by sucrose, raffinose and stachyose. Of these, sucrose is desirable, while raffinose and stachyose are indigestible, causing flatulence and abdominal discomfort. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling seed sucrose, raffinose, and stachyose in a set of 140 SoyNAM (Nested Association Mapping) recombinant inbred lines (RILs), developed from the cross between lines IA3023 and LD02‐4485. A total of 3,038 SNP markers from the Illumina SoyNAM BeadChip SNP were used to map the QTLs for sucrose and the RFOs, raffinose, and stachyose. Significant genotypic differences (p < .001) among RILs were observed for sucrose, raffinose and stachyose contents across years. A 3038 Illumina SoyNAM BeadChip SNPs identified three QTLs for sucrose, one on chromosome 1, explaining 10% variance and two on chromosome 3 each explaining 22%. Raffinose QTL was detected on chromosome 6, explaining 6% variance. The mapped QTLs were novel and spanned regions harbouring candidate genes with roles in plant growth including seed development. 相似文献

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that occurs naturally in soils. Durum wheat is known to accumulate generally more Cd than other cereal crops. The uptake of Cd in durum wheat is governed by the gene Cdu1, which co‐segregates with several DNA markers, such as the co‐dominant marker usw47 and the dominant marker ScOPC20. A panel of 314 durum wheat cultivars or lines originating from 16 countries or regions were assessed with usw47. The plant material was mainly comprised of cultivars and modern breeding lines. From this set, 165 durum wheat lines were classified as low‐Cd accumulators, 144 high‐Cd accumulators and five were heterogeneous. A smaller subset of 16 cultivars had previously been evaluated for Cd accumulation in replicated field trials. Lines with the high‐Cd allele showed a 2.4‐fold higher Cd content in the seeds than lines with the low‐Cd allele. We also compared the utility of markers usw47 and ScOPC20 as selection tools. Marker‐assisted selection appears as a robust and practicable tool for breeding durum cultivars with low‐Cd content. 相似文献

Pre-harvest sprouting of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var durum) reduces commercial grade, although the actual effects on processing quality are controversial. Little is known about the genetics of the dormancy component of pre-harvest sprouting resistance in durum. We studied the segregation of dormancy in 98 recombinant inbred lines from a cross of a relatively non-dormant line, CI13102, with a moderately dormant line, Kyle. The lines and parents were grown in field tests over three years, 1996, 1997 and 1998. Spikes were collected at approximately 20% moisture and stored at −23 ∘C. Hand-threshed grain of the lines was germinated, and number of seeds germinated was counted each day. A germination resistance index was calculated to characterize dormancy. Dormancy appeared to be complexly inherited in this cross. Lines were observed that were significantly (P < 0.05) more dormant than the parents. The lines transgressive for dormancy expressed in different combinations of the three environments, indicating an environmental interaction. DNA of lines and parents was tested with simple sequence repeat primers and AFLPs that were used in quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis of dormancy. Significant QTLs for dormancy were found, with the most notable being on chromosome 1A, where other QTLs for pre-harvest sprouting resistance have been reported in common wheat. 相似文献

Seed longevity in rice is a major determinant in seed production and germplasm preservation. In this paper, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population consisting of 172 lines derived from the cross between Xiang743 and ‘Katy’ was used to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for seed longevity (SL) after seed storage for 18 and 30 months under ambient conditions. Two putative QTLs, qSL‐2 and qSL‐8, were detected and located on chromosomes 2 and 8, respectively. qSL‐2 is an allele from Xiang743 allele and increases seed longevity. qSL‐8 was a novel QTL from ‘Katy’ allele and increases seed longevity. qSL‐8 explained 15.29% and 17.35% of the phenotypic variance after seed storage for 18 and 30 months, respectively. Furthermore, qSL‐8 was validated in a secondary population developed by self‐pollination of a residual heterozygous line (RHL) selected from the RIL population, which explained 25.93% of the phenotypic contribution. These results provide an opportunity for map‐based cloning of qSL‐8. Furthermore, qSL‐8 may be a target for improving seed longevity by marker‐assisted selection (MAS) in rice. 相似文献

QTL analysis for grain weight in common wheat 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis for grain weight (GW = 1000 grain weight) in common wheat was conducted using a set of 100 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross ‘Rye Selection 111 (high GW) × Chinese Spring (low GW)’. The RILs and their two parental genotypes were evaluated for GW in six different environments (three locations × two years). Genotyping of RILs was carried out using 449 (30 SSRs, 299 AFLP and 120 SAMPL) polymorphic markers. Using the genotyping data of RILs, framework linkage maps were prepared for three chromosomes (1A, 2B, 7A), which were earlier identified by us to carry important/major genes for GW following monosomic analysis. QTL analysis for GW was conducted following genome-wide single marker regression analysis (SMA) and composite interval mapping (CIM) using molecular maps for the three chromosomes. Following SMA, 12 markers showed associations with GW, individual markers explaining 6.57% to 10.76% PV (phenotypic variation) for GW in individual environments. The high grain weight parent, Rye Selection111, which is an agronomically superior genotype, contributed favourable alleles for GW at six of the 12 marker loci identified through SMA. The CIM identified two stable and definitive QTLs, one each on chromosome arms 2BS and 7AS, which were also identified through SMA, and a third suggestive QTL on 1AS. These QTLs explained 9.06% to 19.85% PV for GW in different environments. The QTL for GW on 7AS is co-located with a QTL for heading date suggesting the occurrence of a QTL having a positive pleiotropic effect on the two traits. Some of the markers identified during the present study may prove useful for marker-assisted selection, while breeding for high GW in common wheat. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling 100‐seed weight in soybean using 188 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from a cross of PI 483463 and ‘Hutcheson’. The parents and RILs were grown for 4 years (2010–2013), and mature, dry seeds were used for 100‐seed weight measurement. The variance components of genotype (a), environment (e) and a × e interactions for seed weight were highly significant. The QTL analysis identified 14 QTLs explaining 3.83–12.23% of the total phenotypic variation. One of the QTLs, qSW17‐2, was found to be the stable QTL, being identified in all the environments with high phenotypic variation as compared to the other QTLs. Of the 14 QTLs, 10 QTLs showed colocalization with the seed weight QTLs identified in earlier reports, and four QTLs, qSW5‐1, qSW14‐1, qSW15‐1 and qSW15‐2, found to be the novel QTLs. A two‐dimensional genome scan revealed 11 pairs of epistatic QTLs across 11 chromosomes. The QTLs identified in this study may be useful in genetic improvement of soybean seed weight. 相似文献

Breeding efforts to improve grain yield, seed protein concentration and early maturity in pea (Pisum sativum L.) have proven to be difficult. The use of molecular markers will improve our understanding of the genetic factors conditioning these traits and is expected to assist in selection of superior genotypes. This study was conducted to identify genetic loci associated with grain yield, seed protein concentration and early maturity in pea. A population of 88 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) that was developed from a cross between 'Carneval' and 'MP1401' was evaluated at 13 environments across the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Canada in 1998, 1999 and 2000. A linkage map consisting of 193 AFLPs (amplified fragment length polymorphism), 13 RAPDs (random amplified polymorphic DNA) and one STS (sequence tagged site) marker was used to identify putative quantitative trait loci (QTL) for grain yield, seed protein concentration and early maturity. Four QTL were identified each for grain yield and days to maturity, and three QTL were identified for seed protein concentration. A multiple QTL model for each trait showed that these genomic regions accounted for 39%, 45% and 35% of the total phenotypic variation for grain yield, seed protein concentration and days to maturity, respectively. The consistency of these QTL across environments and their potential for marker-assisted selection are discussed in this report. 相似文献

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with four milling recovery properties, two chemical properties, six paste properties
of grain, and six textural parameters of cooked rice were identified using an introgression line (IL) population of rice developed
from an interspecific cross over two years. The IL population consisted of 121 lines from a cross between wild rice (O. rufipogon Griff.) and a japonica cultivar. A total of 28 QTLs were identified for the 14 traits using inter mapping. Of these, 10 were
significant over two years indicating that these QTLs are stable across years and environments. For eight (21%) of the QTLs
identified, the O. rufipogonderived alleles contributed a desirable effect on amylose content, protein content, minimum viscosity, final viscosity, and
consistency. Among these, pc3 for protein content and ac7 for amylose content were significant in both years and showed an R2 value of 25.5 and 30.9%, respectively. The markers closely associated with these useful alleles can be used to trace the
inheritance of specific chromosome segments in the IL population and also offer a starting point for map-based cloning of
genes underlying these traits. 相似文献

Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB) is an important foliar disease of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum var. durum) worldwide. The combined effects of SNB and tan spot, considered as components of the leaf spotting disease complex,
result in significant damage to wheat production in the northern Great Plains of North America. The main objective of this
study was the genetic analysis of resistance to SNB caused by Phaeosphaeria nodorum in tetraploid wheat, and its association with tan spot caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis race 2. The 133 recombinant inbred chromosome lines (RICL) developed from the cross LDN/LDN(Dic-5B) were evaluated for SNB
reaction at the seedling stage under greenhouse conditions. Molecular markers were used to map a quantitative trait locus
(QTL) on chromosome 5B, explaining 37.6% of the phenotypic variation in SNB reaction. The location of the QTL was 8.8 cM distal
to the tsn1 locus coding for resistance to P. tritici-repentis race 2. The presence of genes for resistance to both SNB and tan spot in close proximity in tetraploid wheat and the identification
of molecular markers linked to these genes or QTLs will be useful for incorporating resistance to these diseases in wheat
breeding programs. 相似文献
