QTL Mapping of Agronomic and Physiological Traits at the Seedling and Maturity Stages under Different Nitrogen Treatments in Barley.

ABSTRACT: Nitrogen (N) stress seriously constrains barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) production globally by influencing its growth and development. In this study, we used a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of 121 crosses between the variety Baudin and the wild barley accession CN4027 to detect QTL for 27 traits at the seedling stage in hydroponic culture trials and 12 traits at the maturity stage in field trials both under two N treatments, aiming to uncover favorable alleles for N tolerance in wild barley. In total, eight stable QTL and seven QTL clusters were detected. Among them, the stable QTL Qtgw.sau-2H located in a 0.46 cM interval on the chromosome arm 2HL was a novel QTL specific for low N. Notably, Clusters C4 and C7 contained QTL for traits at both the seedling and maturity stages. In addition, four stable QTLs in Cluster C4 were identified. Furthermore, a gene (HORVU2Hr1G080990.1) related to grain protein in the interval of Qtgw.sau-2H was predicted. Correlation analysis and QTL mapping showed that different N treatments significantly affected agronomic and physiological traits at the seedling and maturity stages. These results provide valuable information for understanding N tolerance as well as breeding and utilizing the loci of interest in barley.

Project description:Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) a drought tolerant staple crop for half a billion people in Africa and Asia, an important source of animal feed throughout the world and a biofuel feedstock of growing importanceorghum's originated from tropical regions rendering the crop to be cold sensitive. Low temperature stresses such as chilling and frost greatly affect the agronomic performance of sorghum and limit its geographical distribution, posing a major problem in temperate environments when sorghum is planted early. Understanding the genetic basis of wide adaptability and of sorghum would facilitate molecular breeding programs and studies of other C4 crops. The objective of this study is to conduct quantitative trait loci analysis using genotying by sequencing for early seed germination and seedling cold tolerance in two sorghum recombinant inbred lines populations. To accomplish that, we used two populations of recombinant inbred lines (RIL) developed from crosses between cold-tolerant (CT19, ICSV700) and cold-sensitive (TX430, M81E) parents. The derived RIL populations were evaluated for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) using genotype-by-sequencing (GBS) in the field and under controlled environments for their response to chilling stress. Linkage maps were constructed with 464 and 875 SNPs for the CT19 X TX430 (C1) and ICSV700 X M81 E (C2) populations respectively. Using quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, we identified QTL conferring tolerance to chilling tolerance at the seedling stage. A total of 16 and 39 total QTL were identified in the C1 and C2 populations, respectively. Two major QTL were identified in the C1 population, and three major QTL were mapped in the C2 population. Comparisons between the two populations and with previously identified QTL show a high degree of similarity in QTL locations. Given the amount of co-localization of QTL across traits and the direction of allelic effect supports that these regions have a pleiotropic effect. These QTL regions were also identified to be highly enriched for genes encoding chilling stress and hormonal response genes. This identified QTL can be useful in developing tools for molecular breeding of sorghums with improved low-temperature germinability.
