Abstract:

In this study, an F2 population derived from a cross between two sorghum lines with same height and different heights of tiller and main stem respectively was used to construct pools. In order to map genes related to same height of tiller and main stem, BSA and SLAF-seq technique were developed. Genetic analysis showed that the trait of same height of tiller and main stem was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene. Reference genome of sorghum was used to design markers by simulating the number of markers produced by different enzymes. The SLAF library was conducted and sequenced by paired-end sequencing. The restriction enzyme was Rsa I + Hae III. The fragment length was 364-414 bp. The quality of Q30 was up to 91.70% and the GC content (45.79%) was low enough to perform sequencing. Compared with the sequencing data of rice, the construction of SLAF library fitted well to the standard, with its paired-end mapped reads reaching to 93.35% and normal digestion ratio reaching to 90.60% in sorghum. In total of 30.80 M reads and 133,246 SLAF labels were obtained and 319,428 SNPs were found. The associated region was located by SNP-index, Euclidean distance, and their combination. The candidate regions had a size of 1.95 Mb at nucleotides 54,788,026-56,740,873 on Chr.9. The SNPs locating at the associated region were analyzed between the two parents. Four non-synonymous-coding SNPs were found in this region. By verification, these SNPs were considered to be related to same height of tiller and main stem. Corresponding to three candidate genes (Sobic.009G197901.1, Sobic.009G213300.1, and Sobic.009G221200.1), these genes may be functional genes directly related to the traits.

Key words: sorghum, same height of tiller and main stem, SLAF, SNP
