摘要:

叶片性状是理想株型的重要组成部分。适当的卷叶有助于紧凑株型的建成。油菜是一种重要的油料作物,但油菜叶型发育的遗传学基础尚不清楚,也缺乏相应的种质资源用于油菜叶型的遗传改良。本研究鉴定到一个甘蓝型油菜叶片内卷的显性突变体,命名为INSIDE-ROLLING LEAF1 (IRL1)。该突变体由于叶肉细胞发育异常导致叶片内卷,此外还具有下垂角果和半矮杆表型,其有效分枝数减少了一到两个。图位克隆和遗传互补证实BnaC02G201100ZS是功能基因,BnaC02G201100ZS编码LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES结构域蛋白6BnaC02.LBD6BnaC02.LBD6启动子区的SNP变异导致其表达量升高,BnaC02.LBD6过表达株系的表型与突变体irl1表型类似。单倍型分析显示BnaC02.LBD6启动区的罕见SNP变异造成了突变体irl1独特的表型。此外,RNA-seq分析表明与叶片近远轴极性发育,此生代谢过程和激素信号通路相关基因差异表达。本研究为进一步理解油菜叶型变异的遗传学基础提供了新的见解,同时为油菜株型改良提供了宝贵的种质资源。

Abstract:

Leaf morphology constitutes a key component of the ideotype, and optimal leaf rolling contributes to compact plant architecture.  Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is an important oilseed crop; however, the genetic mechanisms underlying leaf shape development remain poorly understood, and corresponding germplasm resources for genetic improvement are limited.  In this study, we identified a dominant mutant, INSIDE-ROLLING LEAF1 (IRL1), which exhibits inward leaf rolling due to defective mesophyll cell development.  The mutant also displays drooping siliques and a semi-dwarf phenotype, accompanied by a reduction of one to two effective branches.  Through map-based cloning and functional complementation assays, we confirmed BnaC02G0201100ZS as the causal gene IRL1.  This gene encodes LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN6 (BnaC02.LBD6).  The phenotypic alterations in the IRL1 mutant result from elevated expression of BnaC02.LBD6, driven by a single nucleotide substitution within a DNA binding site in its promoter region.  Overexpression of BnaC02.LBD6 recapitulated the IRL1 mutant phenotype, confirming its functional role.  Haplotype analysis revealed a rare allelic variant in the BnaC02.LBD6 promoter associated with the unique leaf morphology of IRL1.  Transcriptomic profiling indicated significant differential expression of genes involved in adaxial–abaxial leaf polarity establishment, secondary metabolic pathways, and hormone signaling networks.  Our findings provide novel insights into the genetic regulation of leaf morphogenesis in rapeseed and offer valuable genetic resources for optimizing plant architecture in breeding programs.
