摘要:

穗上叶片数是影响玉米株型的重要性状之一, 采用遗传定位方法能鉴定到与玉米穗上叶片数显著关联的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)位点, 并进一步筛选出调控该性状的候选基因, 为玉米理想株型定向选育及籽粒产量的高效提升奠定基础。利用291个玉米自交系组成的自然群体进行多个环境试验, 采用测序手段进行基因分型, 对穗上叶片数(LNAE)进行全基因组关联分析(GWAS)和全基因组选择(GS)。穗上叶片数受基因型(G)、环境(E)及基因型与环境互作(G×E)影响极显著(P < 0.001), 广义遗传力为81.23%; 穗上叶片数在环境间以及在与产量相关性状间均呈显著正相关。MLMM模型检测到15个与穗上叶片数显著相关的SNP位点, 单个SNP解释的表型贡献率为1.12%~22.43%。FarmCPU模型检测到了37个显著相关的SNP, 单个SNP解释的表型贡献率为0.02%~18.23%。2种不同的模型共检测到11个共定位位点, 分别位于第2、4、5、6、7和9染色体上。其中, 位于5号染色体的5_93495559既是环境稳定位点, 又是模型共定位位点, 与前期研究相比, 该SNP是新的遗传位点。结合关联图谱、共定位分析和候选基因表达预测分析发现, 在11个共定位位点的15个候选基因中, 基因Zm00001eb315650Zm00001eb315660Zm00001eb089980在特定的叶片生长阶段呈现高水平表达。全基因选择结果显示, 70%的训练群体规模和3000个SNP可以获得较高的预测准确度。总之, 本研究通过全基因组关联分析定位到52个与穗上叶片数显著相关的SNP位点, 11个共定位位点确定了15个候选基因, 其中, Zm00001eb315650Zm00001eb315660Zm00001eb089980为本研究的3个关键候选基因; 穗上叶片数全基因组选择结果表明, 70%的训练群体规模和3000个SNP标记组合可获得较高的预测准确度, 该参数可用于穗上叶片数的分子育种选择。

Abstract:

The number of leaves on the ear is an important trait influencing maize plant architecture. Genetic mapping approaches can identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with this trait and facilitate the discovery of candidate genes, thereby laying a foundation for targeted breeding of ideal maize plant architecture and efficient enhancement of grain yield. In this study, a natural population of 291 maize inbred lines was evaluated across multiple environments. Genotyping was performed using sequencing technologies, and both genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genomic selection (GS) were conducted for the leaf number above the ear (LNAE). LNAE was significantly affected by genotype (G), environment (E), and the genotype-by-environment interaction (G × E) (P < 0.001), with a broad-sense heritability of 81.23%. Using the MLMM model, 15 SNPs significantly associated with LNAE were identified, each explaining 1.12% to 22.43% of the phenotypic variation. The FarmCPU model identified 37 significant SNPs, with individual contributions ranging from 0.02% to 18.23%. A total of 11 co-located loci were detected on chromosomes 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 were detected by two different models. Among them, SNP 5_93495559 on chromosome 5 was identified as both an environmentally stable and model co-located locus. Compared with previous reports, this SNP represents a novel genetic locus. By integrating association mapping, co-location analysis, and candidate gene expression profiling, three genes—Zm00001eb315650, Zm00001eb315660, and Zm00001eb089980—were found to exhibit high expression during key leaf development stages and were identified as likely candidates underlying LNAE. Genomic selection analysis indicated that using 70% of the population as a training set and 3000 SNPs could achieve high prediction accuracy. This parameter can be utilized for molecular breeding selection of the number of leaves above the ear.

Key words: maize, number of leaves on the ear, genome-wide association study, candidate gene, genomic selection
