Characterization of flag leaf morphology identifies a major genomic region controlling flag leaf angle in the US winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
Key message: Multi-environmental characterization of flag leaf morphology traits in the US winter wheat revealed nine stable genomic regions for different flag leaf-related traits including a major region governing flag leaf angle. Flag leaf in wheat is the primary contributor to accumulating photosynthetic assimilates. Flag leaf morphology (FLM) traits determine the overall canopy structure and capacity to intercept the light, thus influencing photosynthetic efficiency. Hence, understanding the genetic control of these traits could be useful for breeding desirable ideotypes in wheat. We used a panel of 272 accessions from the hard winter wheat (HWW) region of the USA to investigate the genetic architecture of five FLM traits including flag leaf length (FLL), width (FLW), angle (FLANG), length-width ratio, and area using multilocation field experiments. Multi-environment GWAS using 14,537 single-nucleotide polymorphisms identified 36 marker-trait associations for different traits, with nine being stable across environments. A novel and major stable region for FLANG (qFLANG.1A) was identified on chromosome 1A accounting for 9-13% variation. Analysis of spatial distribution for qFLANG.1A in a set of 2354 breeding lines from the HWW region showed a higher frequency of allele associated with narrow leaf angle. A KASP assay was developed for allelic discrimination of qFLANG.1A and was used for its independent validation in a diverse set of spring wheat accessions. Furthermore, candidate gene analysis for two regions associated with FLANG identified seven putative genes of interest for each of the two regions. The present study enhances our understanding of the genetic control of FLM in wheat, particularly FLANG, and these results will be useful for dissecting the genes underlying canopy architecture in wheat facilitating the development of climate-resilient wheat varieties.
期刊介绍:
Theoretical and Applied Genetics publishes original research and review articles in all key areas of modern plant genetics, plant genomics and plant biotechnology. All work needs to have a clear genetic component and significant impact on plant breeding. Theoretical considerations are only accepted in combination with new experimental data and/or if they indicate a relevant application in plant genetics or breeding. Emphasizing the practical, the journal focuses on research into leading crop plants and articles presenting innovative approaches.
