摘要: 【目的】氮肥的大量应用造成了生态环境的污染和农业资源的浪费。培育氮高效小麦新品种,提高小麦的氮素利用效率,是实现农业可持续发展和保护环境的有效途径。筛选耐低氮种质资源,挖掘耐低氮性相关遗传位点及候选基因,为氮高效小麦新品种的培育提供材料和奠定理论基础。【方法】以389份小麦品种组成的自然群体为材料,分别在高氮(HN)和低氮(LN)处理下的10个田间环境中测定小麦单株籽粒产量(GYP)。然后,基于GYP计算各品种的耐低氮指数(stress tolerance index,STI),并筛选出具有不同耐低氮性的小麦品种。结合自然群体660K单核苷酸多态性(SNP)标记芯片的基因型分析数据,对STI进行全基因组关联分析(GWAS),鉴定与小麦田间耐低氮性稳定关联的遗传位点。进一步根据候选基因的单倍型分析、表达分析和功能注释,筛选与小麦耐低氮性相关的候选基因。【结果】共筛选出12份具有强耐低氮性的小麦品种,分别为中洛08-1、冀麦15、京花2号、科红1号、绵阳19、济麦22、镇麦4号、豫麦35、丰抗7号、绵阳11、晋麦31和鲁麦5号。共检测到14个与STI显著关联的位点,其中4个位点(qSTI1A.1qSTI3BqSTI6AqSTI7A.2)的物理区间与前人已报道的小麦耐低氮性或产量相关遗传位点存在重叠,且qSTI3B在3个环境中被重复检测到,是一个调控小麦耐低氮性的重要遗传位点,进而对其候选基因进行了筛选。结果显示,候选基因TraesCS3B02G042400的功能注释为AP2/EREBP(APETALA2/乙烯响应元件结合蛋白)转录因子。携带该基因不同单倍型的小麦品种间STI值呈现显著差异,且其表达水平会随着氮素供应而持续上升。结果表明,TraesCS3B02G042400是一个与小麦耐低氮性相关的关键候选基因。【结论】筛选出12份强耐低氮性的小麦品种。鉴定到一个与小麦耐低氮性稳定关联的重要遗传位点qSTI3B。挖掘到一个小麦耐低氮候选基因TraesCS3B02G042400

Abstract:

【Objective】 The excessive application of nitrogen fertilizers has led to ecological pollution and waste of agricultural resources. Developing nitrogen-efficient wheat varieties and improving nitrogen use efficiency are effective approaches for achieving sustainable agricultural development and environmental protection. Screening low-nitrogen-tolerant germplasm resources and identifying genetic loci and candidate genes associated with low-nitrogen tolerance can provide materials and theoretical foundations for breeding nitrogen-efficient wheat varieties. 【Method】 A natural population consisting of 389 wheat varieties was cultivated under high-nitrogen (HN) and low-nitrogen (LN) treatments in 10 field environments. Grain yield per plant (GYP) was measured to calculate the stress tolerance index (STI), thereby enabling the classification of varieties with differential low-nitrogen tolerance. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were conducted using 660K SNP array genotyping data to identify stable genetic loci associated with low-nitrogen tolerance. Candidate genes were prioritized through haplotype analysis, expression profiling, and functional annotation. 【Result】 Twelve wheat varieties with strong low-nitrogen tolerance were identified, including Zhongluo 08-1, Jimai 15, Jinghua 2, Kehong 1, Mianyang 19, Jimai 22, Zhenmai 4, Yumai 35, Fengkang 7, Mianyang 11, Jinmai 31, and Lumai 5. Fourteen loci significantly associated with STI were detected, among which four (qSTI1A.1, qSTI3B, qSTI6A, and qSTI7A.2) overlapped with previously reported low-nitrogen tolerance or yield-related QTLs. Notably, qSTI3B-replicated across three environments-was identified as a key locus governing low-nitrogen tolerance. Functional annotation revealed that its candidate gene, TraesCS3B02G042400, encodes an AP2/EREBP (APETALA2/ethylene-responsive element-binding protein) transcription factor. Haplotype analysis showed significant STI divergence among varieties carrying distinct haplotypes, while expression levels of TraesCS3B02G042400 exhibited nitrogen dose-responsive upregulation. 【Conclusion】 Twelve wheat varieties with strong low-nitrogen tolerance were screened. A stable genetic locus, qSTI3B, and a candidate gene, TraesCS3B02G042400, associated with low-nitrogen tolerance were identified.
