Abstract
Rapeseed pods are prone to dehiscence, resulting in yield loss at maturity. In the present study, we investigated the shatter resistance index (SRI) of 280 doubled haploid (DH) lines derived from a cross between ZS11 (susceptible line) and R11 (resistant line). Based on the phenotypic data obtained from four environments and a high-density genetic map, a significant QTL (qSRI.A06) for shatter resistance on A06 chromosome were stably detected. This locus explained 4.80% - 15.00% of the phenotypic variation and the peak position covered a 664 Kb region. The effect of qSRI.A06 was verified in BC3F2 and BC3F3 populations and delimited in a 90.8 Kb region comprising 11 genes. Out of these genes, a differencially expressed gene, BnaA06g27900D, was identified to be involved in cell wall development by comparative transcriptome analysis. Regional association revealed four SNP/Indel variations in the promoter associated with pod shattering resistance. The highest Indels A06-41975887 showed suggestive association with SRI (p = 8.80E-06) with a TG allele variation. The stable locus qSRI.A06 and the candidate gene BnaA06g27900D will be helpful for understanding the resistance mechanism and improving shatter resistance in rapeseed.

期刊介绍:
Molecular Breeding is an international journal publishing papers on applications of plant molecular biology, i.e., research most likely leading to practical applications. The practical applications might relate to the Developing as well as the industrialised World and have demonstrable benefits for the seed industry, farmers, processing industry, the environment and the consumer.
All papers published should contribute to the understanding and progress of modern plant breeding, encompassing the scientific disciplines of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, physiology, pathology, plant breeding, and ecology among others.
Molecular Breeding welcomes the following categories of papers: full papers, short communications, papers describing novel methods and review papers. All submission will be subject to peer review ensuring the highest possible scientific quality standards.
Molecular Breeding core areas:
Molecular Breeding will consider manuscripts describing contemporary methods of molecular genetics and genomic analysis, structural and functional genomics in crops, proteomics and metabolic profiling, abiotic stress and field evaluation of transgenic crops containing particular traits. Manuscripts on marker assisted breeding are also of major interest, in particular novel approaches and new results of marker assisted breeding, QTL cloning, integration of conventional and marker assisted breeding, and QTL studies in crop plants.
