大豆胞囊线虫(SCN,soybean cyst nematode)病是一种世界性大豆病害,培育抗SCN大豆品种是防治SCN的重要措施。本研究利用来自抗SCN主效位点rhg1和Rhg4的2个KASP标记,对487份大豆材料进行筛选,选择含有抗性位点且农艺性状优异的材料;通过室内接种大豆胞囊线虫2号、4号、5号生理小种和新小种X12,进行抗性鉴定验证其抗性水平,为培育抗病品种提供抗源材料。标记筛选结果表明,20份材料含有rhg1和Rhg4这2个主效抗性位点,其中,2份材料仅含有Rhg4位点。表型抗性鉴定结果表明,在接种的22份材料中,有1份材料对3个小种表现中抗,5份材料对2个小种表现抗或中抗。其中,1份材料对2号小种表现抗病、4份表现中抗;2份材料对4号小种表现中抗;4份材料对5号小种表现抗病、14份表现中抗;22份材料对新小种X12均表现出感病或中感。因此,本研究从487份材料中筛选出20份含有2个SCN抗性位点并具优异农艺性状的材料,可通过rhg1和Rhg4位点的累加培育抗病品种。     

大豆的孢囊线虫抗性研究新进展

大豆孢囊线虫(Heterodera glycines Ichinohe,soybean cyst nematode,SCN)病害是大豆(Glycine max(L.)Merr.)生产上危害最严重的病害,每年造成巨大的经济损失.种植抗性大豆品种是防治SCN最经济、有效且对环境友好的措施.大豆对SCN的抗性受多基因位点控制.近年来,大豆的SCN抗性基因研究取得了突破性进展,几乎同时鉴定出了大豆的2个主要SCN抗性位点基因rhg1和Rhg4,并揭示了2种完全不同的植物抗病机制.rhg1采取的是一种由一段约31 kb长的基因组序列上的3个基因共同控制的多拷贝抗病机制,而Rhg4采取的是一种由丝氨酸羟甲基转移酶控制、可能由一碳代谢参与的抗病新机制.本文就近年来(2003年7月以来)在大豆的抗SCN位点的鉴定及新抗性种质资源挖掘、rhg1和Rhg4基因克隆与功能鉴定以及特异性分子标记开发与对SCN抗性的大豆资源品种的高通量筛选等研究方面取得的一些最新进展进行综述.     

基于大豆胞囊线虫病抗性候选基因的SNP位点遗传变异分析

以我国363份栽培和野生大豆资源为材料, 对大豆胞囊线虫抗性候选基因(rhg1和Rhg4)的SNP位点(8个)进行遗传变异分析, 以期阐明野生和栽培大豆间遗传多样性及连锁不平衡水平差异。结果表明, 与野生大豆相比, 代表我国栽培大豆总体资源多样性的微核心种质及其补充材料的连锁不平衡水平较高(R²值为0.216)。在栽培大豆群体内, 基因内和基因间分别有100％和16.6％的SNP位点对连锁不平衡显著, 形成两个基因特异的连锁不平衡区间(Block)。在所有供试材料中共检测到单倍型46个, 野生大豆的单倍型数目(27)少于栽培大豆(31), 但单倍型多样性(0.916)稍高于栽培大豆(0.816)。单倍型大多数(67.4％)为群体所特有(31个), 其中15个为野生大豆特有单倍型。野生大豆的两个主要优势单倍型(Hap_10和Hap_11)在栽培大豆中的发生频率也明显下降, 推测野生大豆向栽培大豆进化过程中, 一方面形成了新的单倍型, 另一方面因为瓶颈效应部分单倍型的频率降低甚至消失。

Chib1和PAL5基因在AM真菌Glomus fasciculatus诱导大豆抗线虫病害防御反应中的作用

本研究系统分析了大豆（品种：‘鲁豆4’）接种AM真菌Glomus fasciculatum和胞囊线虫（SCN,Heterodera glycines）4号生理小种后各处理菌根和线虫侵染率、几丁质酶和苯丙氨酸解氨酶（PAL）活性及几丁质酶基因Chib1和苯丙氨酸解氨酶基因PAL5转录物的动态变化。结果表明,接种SCN对AM真菌的侵染率没有产生显著影响,但先接种AM真菌后接种SCN的大豆根内线虫侵染率明显低于只接种SCN的处理。另外,先接种AM真菌后接种SCN的大豆根内几丁质酶和PAL活性显著提高,活性高峰出现在接种线虫后的第3天。值得注意的是,先接种AM真菌后接种SCN的大豆根内两种基因Chib1和PAL5转录物高峰也出现在接种SCN后的第3天,即AM真菌侵染率快速上升而SCN侵染率快速下降时期。所以Chib1和PAL5基因的表达可能是AM真菌诱导的抗大豆胞囊线虫病害防御反应的一种表现。因此推测Chib1和PAL5直接参与了AM真菌诱导大豆抗胞囊线虫病害的防御反应。

Two simple sequence repeat markers to select for soybean cyst nematode resistance coditioned by the rhg1 locus

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) (Heterodera glycines Inchinoe) is the most economically significant soybean pest. The principal strategy to reduce or eliminate damage from this pest is the use of resistant cultivars. Identifying resistant segregants in a breeding program is a difficult and expensive process which is complicated by the oligogenic nature of the resistance and genetic variability in the pathogen. Fortunately, resistance at one SCN-resistance locus, rhg1, is generally accepted as a necessity for the development of resistant genotypes using any source of resistance and when challenged by any SCN race. Thus, the development of SCN resistant cultivars would be expedited if an effective and rapid system were available to identify breeding lines carrying a resistance allele at the rhg1 locus. In this study we report two simple sequence repeat (SSR) or microsatellite loci that cosegregate and map 0.4 cM from rhg1. Allelic variation at the first of these loci, BARC-Satt309, distinguished most, if not all, SCN-susceptible genotypes from those carrying resistance at rhg1 derived from the important SCN-resistance sources ’Peking’, PI 437654, and PI 90763. BARC-Satt309 was also effective in distinguishing SCN resistance sources PI 88788 and PI 209332 from many, but not all, susceptible genotypes. BARC-Satt309 cannot be used in marker-assisted selection in populations developed from typical southern US cultivars crossed with the important resistance sources PI 88788 or PI 209332 because these genotypes all carry the identical allele at the BARC-Satt309 locus. A second SSR locus, BARC-Sat_168, was developed from a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone that was identified using the primers to BARC-Satt309. BARC-Sat_168 distinguished PI 88788 and PI 209332 from southern US cultivars such as ’Lee’, ’Bragg’ and ’Essex’. Both BARC-Satt309 and BARC-Sat_168 were used to assay lines from SCN-susceptible×SCN-resistant crosses and proved to be highly effective in identifying lines carrying rhg1 resistance from those carrying the allele for SCN susceptibility at the rhg1 locus.

Genome-wide association study for soybean cyst nematode resistance in Chinese elite soybean cultivars

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) is a highly recalcitrant endoparasite of soybean roots, causing more yield loss than any other pest. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling resistance to SCN (HG type 2.5.7, race 1), a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed. The association panel, consisting of 120 Chinese soybean cultivars, was genotyped with 7189 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs). A total of 6204 SNPs with minor allele frequency >0.05 were used to estimate linkage disequilibrium (LD) and population structure. The mean level of LD measured by r ² declined very rapidly to half its maximum value (0.51) at 220 kb. The overall population structure was approximately coincident with geographic origin. The GWAS results identified 13 SNPs in 7 different genomic regions significantly associated with SCN resistance. Of these, three SNPs were localized in previously mapped QTL intervals, including rhg1 and Rhg4. The GWAS results also detected 10 SNPs in 5 different genomic regions associated with SCN resistance. The identified loci explained an average of 95.5% of the phenotypic variance. The proportion of phenotypic variance was due to additive genetic variance of the validated SNPs. The present study identified multiple new loci and refined chromosomal regions of known loci associated with SCN resistance. The loci and trait-associated SNPs identified in this study can be used for developing soybean cultivars with durable resistance against SCN.     

SNP identification and marker assay development for high-throughput selection of soybean cyst nematode resistance

Background

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the most economically devastating pathogen of soybean. Two resistance loci, Rhg1 and Rhg4 primarily contribute resistance to SCN race 3 in soybean. Peking and PI 88788 are the two major sources of SCN resistance with Peking requiring both Rhg1 and Rhg4 alleles and PI 88788 only the Rhg1 allele. Although simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers have been reported for both loci, they are linked markers and limited to be applied in breeding programs due to accuracy, throughput and cost of detection methods. The objectives of this study were to develop robust functional marker assays for high-throughput selection of SCN resistance and to differentiate the sources of resistance.

Results

Based on the genomic DNA sequences of 27 soybean lines with known SCN phenotypes, we have developed Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP) assays for two Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from Glyma08g11490 for the selection of the Rhg4 resistance allele. Moreover, the genomic DNA of Glyma18g02590 at the Rhg1 locus from 11 soybean lines and cDNA of Forrest, Essex, Williams 82 and PI 88788 were fully sequenced. Pairwise sequence alignment revealed seven SNPs/insertion/deletions (InDels), five in the 6th exon and two in the last exon. Using the same 27 soybean lines, we identified one SNP that can be used to select the Rhg1 resistance allele and another SNP that can be employed to differentiate Peking and PI 88788-type resistance. These SNP markers have been validated and a strong correlation was observed between the SNP genotypes and reactions to SCN race 3 using a panel of 153 soybean lines, as well as a bi-parental population, F₅–derived recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from G00-3213 x LG04-6000.

Conclusions

Three functional SNP markers (two for Rhg1 locus and one for Rhg4 locus) were identified that could provide genotype information for the selection of SCN resistance and differentiate Peking from PI 88788 source for most germplasm lines. The robust KASP SNP marker assays were developed. In most contexts, use of one or two of these markers is sufficient for high-throughput marker-assisted selection of plants that will exhibit SCN resistance.

Rhg1 alleles from soybean PI 437654 and PI 88788 respond differentially to isolates of Heterodera glycines in the greenhouse

The production of resistant soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars is the most effective means for controlling losses from soybean cyst nematode (SCN) (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe). The major resistance gene in most SCN resistance sources is rhg1, which has been mapped as a quantitative trait locus onto linkage group G. Our objective was to determine whether the SCN resistance sources PI 437654 and PI 88788 have different functional alleles at rhg1 based on resistance phenotypes. Populations segregating for resistance alleles at rhg1 from both PI 88788 and PI 437654 and at Rhg4, a second SCN resistance gene from PI 437654, were developed. These populations were screened for resistance to the H. glycines inbred isolates PA3 (HG type 7) and TN14 (HG type 1.2.5.7) in the greenhouse and evaluated with molecular markers linked to both rhg1 and Rhg4. Each isolate test was repeated, and the evaluations were done on a single-plant and a line-mean basis in Test 1, and solely on a single-plant basis in Test 2. Across two tests with the TN14 isolate, plants with the PI 437654 allele for a marker linked to rhg1 had significantly (P<0.0001) less SCN reproduction than plants carrying the PI 88788 allele. A marker linked to Rhg4, however, was not significantly associated with resistance to TN14. Across two tests with the PA3 isolate, alleles of rhg1 from both sources gave a resistant reaction, although plants homozygous for the PI 88788 allele had significantly (P<0.05) greater resistance than plants with the PI 437654 allele. The marker allele from PI 437654 linked to Rhg4 was significantly (P<0.0005) associated with greater resistance than the PI 88788 allele in both PA3 tests, and resistance was dominant. There was a significant interaction between alleles at rhg1 and Rhg4 in both PA3 tests. These results suggest that PI 437654 and PI 88788 each have a different functional SCN resistance allele at or close to rhg1. These allelic differences have implications that breeders should consider before incorporation into cultivars.     

Development of SNP markers and haplotype analysis of the candidate gene for rhg1, which confers resistance to soybean cyst nematode in soybean

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) is one of the most destructive pests in the cultivation of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) worldwide. Markers based on the SCN resistance gene will enable efficient marker-assisted selection (MAS). We sequenced the candidate gene rhg1 in six resistant and two susceptible soybean genotypes and identified 37 SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) among the sequences, of which 11 were in the coding region. Seven of these 11 SNPs led to changes in the amino acid sequence of the gene. The amino acid sequence we obtained differs from the previously published one by a stretch of 26–27 amino acids. Six codominant allele-specific SNP markers based on agarose gel detection were developed and tested in 70 genotypes, among which occurred only nine different haplotypes. Two neutrality tests (Tajima’s D and Fu and Li’s F) were significant for the six SNP loci in the 70 genotypes, which is consistent with intensive directional selection. A strong LD pattern was detected among five SNPs except 2868T > C. Two SNPs (689C > A and 757C > T) formed one haplotype (689C-757C) that was perfectly associated with SCN resistance. The new allele-specific PCR markers located in the alleged sequence of the rhg1 candidate gene, combined with the microsatellite marker BACR-Satt309, will significantly improve the efficiency of MAS during the development of SCN-resistant cultivars.     

Cloning and sequence diversity analysis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">GmHs1</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">pro-1</Emphasis></Superscript> in Chinese domesticated and wild soybeans

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) is the most important pathogen in soybean production worldwide and causes substantial yield losses. An apparent narrow genetic base of SCN resistance was observed in current elite soybean cultivars, and searching for novel SCN resistance genes as well as novel resistance sources rather than focusing on the two important genes rhg1 and Rhg4 has become another major objective in soybean research. In the present paper we report a 1,477 bp Hs1 ^pro-1 homolog, named GmHs1 ^pro-1 . This gene was cloned from soybean variety Wenfeng 7 based on information for Hs1 ^pro-1 , a beet cyst nematode resistance gene in sugar beet. It has two domains, Hs1pro-1_N and Hs1pro-1_C, both of which are believed to confer resistance to nematodes. Of the 1,477 bp sequence in GmHs1 ^pro-1 , an open reading frame of 1,314 bp, encoding a protein with 437 amino acids, was flanked by a 5′-untranslated region of 27 bp and a 3′-untranslated region of 135 bp. Fourteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were observed in 44 soybean accessions including 23 wild soybeans, 8 landraces, and 13 soybean varieties (or lines), among which 5 in wild soybeans and 3 in landrace accessions were unique. Sequence diversity analysis on the 44 soybean accessions showed π = 0.00168 and θ = 0.00218 for GmHs1 ^pro-1 ; landraces had the highest diversity, followed by wild soybeans, with varieties (or lines) having the lowest. Although we did not detect a significant effect of selection on GmHs1 ^pro-1 in the three populations, sequence diversity, unique SNPs, and phylogenetic analysis indicated a slight domestication bottleneck and an intensive selection bottleneck. High sequence diversity, more unique SNPs, and broader representation across the phylogenetic tree in wild soybeans and landraces indicated that wild collections and landrace accessions are invaluable germplasm for broadening the genetic base of elite soybean varieties resistant to SCN. C. Yuan and G. Zhou contributed to this paper equally.     

Evolution and selection of Rhg1, a copy‐number variant nematode‐resistance locus

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) resistance locus Rhg1 is a tandem repeat of a 31.2 kb unit of the soybean genome. Each 31.2‐kb unit contains four genes. One allele of Rhg1, Rhg1‐b, is responsible for protecting most US soybean production from SCN. Whole‐genome sequencing was performed, and PCR assays were developed to investigate allelic variation in sequence and copy number of the Rhg1 locus across a population of soybean germplasm accessions. Four distinct sequences of the 31.2‐kb repeat unit were identified, and some Rhg1 alleles carry up to three different types of repeat unit. The total number of copies of the repeat varies from 1 to 10 per haploid genome. Both copy number and sequence of the repeat correlate with the resistance phenotype, and the Rhg1 locus shows strong signatures of selection. Significant linkage disequilibrium in the genome outside the boundaries of the repeat allowed the Rhg1 genotype to be inferred using high‐density single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping of 15 996 accessions. Over 860 germplasm accessions were found likely to possess Rhg1 alleles. The regions surrounding the repeat show indications of non‐neutral evolution and high genetic variability in populations from different geographic locations, but without evidence of fixation of the resistant genotype. A compelling explanation of these results is that balancing selection is in operation at Rhg1.
