摘要:

【目的】株高是影响小麦产量潜力和抗倒伏性的关键农艺性状,主要由茎秆节间的伸长决定。系统评估224份四川小麦品种的节间长度,解析其遗传基础,挖掘调控节间长度的稳定表达新位点,明确其遗传效应,并筛选相关候选基因,为高产小麦品种的定向选育提供重要基因资源和理论依据。【方法】在2个环境下分别测定小麦第一节间(IL1)、第二节间(IL2)和第三节间(IL3)的长度。利用小麦120K SNP芯片对供试群体进行基因型分析,通过全基因组关联分析(GWAS)鉴定调控节间长度的遗传位点,结合表型相关性分析解析主效位点的遗传效应,并基于公共数据库预测候选基因。【结果】表型分析显示,所有节间性状均呈连续变异,广义遗传力较高,估计值为75%—89%。相关性分析表明,3个节间长度均与最终株高呈正相关,其中,IL1的相关性最强。此外,IL2与IL3之间高度相关,提示下部茎节具有协调的遗传调控。GWAS检测到位于5A和4D染色体上的4个稳定位点,分别为调控第一节间的QIL1.sau.5A、调控第二节间的2个紧密连锁但独立的QTL QIL2.sau.5A.1QIL2.sau.5A.2,以及调控第三节间的QIL3.sau.4D。多效性分析显示,QIL2.sau.5A.1显著增加株高和穗长,而QIL3.sau.4D主要促进节间伸长及整体株高。基于功能注释和时空表达数据,共鉴定出5个潜在候选基因,可能参与转录调控、激素信号传导和细胞生长过程。【结论】揭示了四川小麦节间伸长的遗传结构,鉴定出2个新QTL及多个具有多效性的遗传位点。

Abstract:

【Objective】Plant height is a key agronomic trait in wheat that influences both yield potential and lodging resistance. It is primarily determined by the elongation of stem internodes. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the internode lengths of 224 Sichuan wheat cultivars, identify stable quantitative trait loci (QTL) regulating internode length and clarify their effects on agronomic traits, and screen the underlying candidate genes, thus providing important genetic resources and a theoretical basis for the targeted breeding of high-yield wheat varieties. 【Method】The lengths of the first (IL1), the second (IL2), and the third (IL3) internodes were measured under two different environments. The panel was genotyped using the wheat 120K SNP array. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was employed to identify QTL regulating internode length. The phenotyping data was used for correlation analysis and the interpretation of the genetic effects of major QTL. The candidate genes of the major QTL were predicted based on wheat omics data. 【Result】Phenotypic analysis revealed continuous variation for all internode traits, with high broad-sense heritability estimates ranging from 75% to 89%. Correlation analysis showed that lengths of all three internodes were positively correlated with final plant height, with IL1 exhibiting the strongest correlation. Furthermore, IL2 and IL3 were highly correlated with each other, suggesting coordinated genetic regulation of the lower stem internodes. GWAS detected four stable QTLs on chromosomes 5A and 4D, namely QIL1.sau.5A for IL1, two tightly linked but distinct QTL QIL2.sau.5A.1 and QIL2.sau.5A.2 for IL2, and QIL3.sau.4D for IL3, respectively. Pleiotropy analysis demonstrated that QIL2.sau.5A.1 significantly increased plant height and spike length, while QIL3.sau.4D primarily promoted internode elongation and overall plant height. Based on functional annotation and spatiotemporal expression data, five candidate genes potentially involved in transcriptional regulation, hormone signal transduction, and cell growth were identified. 【Conclusion】This study elucidated the genetic architecture of internode elongation in a panel of Sichuan wheat cultivars and identified two novel QTLs and several pleiotropic loci. These stable QTLs and the underlying candidate genes provided valuable resources for molecular marker-assisted selection aiming at optimizing plant height, improving lodging resistance, and enhancing yield potential in wheat.
