Abstract

Starch plays a crucial role as a storage component, greatly affecting the grain yield and quality of maize ( L.). To meet future demands, it is essential to understand the genetic basis of the natural variation in kernel starch content (SC) for maize breeding. Through a genome-wide association study (GWAS), we identified 84 and 96 loci associated with kernel SC within two years that overlapped with 185 candidate genes. The candidate gene , which encodes a myeloblastosis (MYB)-related transcription factor, exhibited the highest co-expression frequency with starch synthesis genes. We demonstrated that ZmMYB71 functions as a nuclear located transcription repressor, and the kernel SC of mutants increased by over 2.32%, with a minor effect on amylose content or 100-grain weight. , , and showed up-regulation in mutants by 1.56-, 1.45- and 1.32-fold, respectively, consistently with the RNA sequencing result; their promoter activities may be directly repressed by ZmMYB71 through the GATATC and TTAGGG motifs. Furthermore, the elite haplotype Hap1 was present in over 55% of the high-starch maize sub-populations BSSS and PB but only in 7.14% of the low-starch sub-population PA. Comparing the Hap1 haplotype frequencies in different breeding stages found that its frequency in the inbred group released after 2010 is significantly higher at 40.28%, in contrast to 28.57% and 27.94% in the years 1980 and 1990, and 2000, respectively. The finding provides valuable information on the natural variation in SC of the maize kernel and suggests that ZmMYB71 serves as a negative regulator with the potential to be used to improve SC in the kernels.
全基因组关联和共表达揭示了 ZmMYB71 对玉米籽粒淀粉含量的调控作用
淀粉作为储藏成分起着至关重要的作用,对玉米(L.)的籽粒产量和品质有很大影响。为了满足未来的需求,了解籽粒淀粉含量(SC)自然变异的遗传基础对玉米育种至关重要。通过全基因组关联研究(GWAS),我们在两年内分别发现了84个和96个与籽粒淀粉含量相关的位点,这些位点与185个候选基因重叠。候选基因ZmMYB编码一种与骨髓母细胞病(MYB)相关的转录因子,它与淀粉合成基因的共表达频率最高。我们证明了 ZmMYB71 作为核定位转录抑制因子的功能,突变体的籽粒 SC 增加了 2.32% 以上,但对直链淀粉含量和百粒重的影响较小。与 RNA 测序结果一致,ZmMYB71 在突变体中分别上调了 1.56 倍、1.45 倍和 1.32 倍;它们的启动子活性可能通过 GATATC 和 TTAGGG 基序被 ZmMYB71 直接抑制。此外,精英单倍型 Hap1 在高淀粉玉米亚群 BSSS 和 PB 中的出现率超过 55%,但在低淀粉亚群 PA 中的出现率仅为 7.14%。比较不同育种阶段的 Hap1 单倍型频率发现,在 2010 年之后发布的近交系中,Hap1 的频率明显较高,达到 40.28%,而在 1980 年、1990 年和 2000 年,Hap1 的频率分别为 28.57% 和 27.94%。这一发现为玉米籽粒SC的自然变异提供了有价值的信息,并表明ZmMYB71是一种负调控因子,有潜力用于改善籽粒的SC。
