The present study investigates the genetic determinism of flowering and maturity dates,
two traits highly affected by global climate change. Flowering and maturity dates were
evaluated on five progenies from three Prunus species, peach, apricot and sweet
cherry, during 3–8 years. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection was performed
separately for each year and also by integrating data from all years together. High
heritability estimates were obtained for flowering and maturity dates. Several QTLs for
flowering and maturity dates were highly stable, detected each year of evaluation,
suggesting that they were not affected by climatic variations. For flowering date, major
QTLs were detected on linkage groups (LG) 4 for apricot and sweet cherry and on LG6 for
peach. QTLs were identified on LG2, LG3, LG4 and LG7 for the three species. For maturity
date, a major QTL was detected on LG4 in the three species. Using the peach genome
sequence data, candidate genes underlying the major QTLs on LG4 and LG6 were investigated
and key genes were identified. Our results provide a basis for the identification of genes
involved in flowering and maturity dates that could be used to develop cultivar ideotypes
adapted to future climatic conditions. 相似文献

The Lemna genus is a group of monocotyledonous plants with tiny, floating bodies. Lemna gibba G3 and L. paucicostata 6746 were once intensively analyzed for physiological timing systems of photoperiodic flowering and circadian rhythms since they showed obligatory and sensitive photoperiodic responses of a long-day and a short-day plant, respectively. We attempted to approach the divergence of biological timing systems at the molecular level using these plants. We first employed molecular techniques to study their circadian clock systems. We developed a convenient bioluminescent reporter system to monitor the circadian rhythms of Lemna plants. As in Arabidopsis, the Arabidopsis CCA1 promoter produced circadian expression in Lemna plants, though the phases and the sustainability of bioluminescence rhythms were somewhat diverged between them. Lemna homologs of the Arabidopsis clock-related genes LHY/CCA1, GI, ELF3 and PRRs were then isolated as candidates for clock-related genes in these plants. These genes showed rhythmic expression profiles that were basically similar to those of Arabidopsis under light-dark conditions. Results from co-transfection assays using the bioluminescence reporter and overexpression effectors suggested that the LHY and GI homologs of Lemna can function in the circadian clock system like the counterparts of Arabidopsis. All these results suggested that the frame of the circadian clock appeared to be conserved not only between the two Lemna plants but also between monocotyledons and dicotyledons. However, divergence of gene numbers and expression profiles for LHY/CCA1 homologs were found between Lemna, rice and Arabidopsis, suggesting that some modification of clock-related components occurred through their evolution. 相似文献

Earliness per se regulates flowering time independent of environmental signals and helps to fine tune the time of flowering and maturity. In this study, we aimed to map earliness per se quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting days to flowering and maturity in a population developed by crossing two spring wheat cultivars, Cutler and AC Barrie. The population of 177 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) was genotyped for a total of 488 SSR and DArT polymorphic markers on all 21 chromosomes. Three QTLs of earliness per se affecting days to flowering and maturity were mapped on chromosomes 1B (QEps.dms-1B1 and QEps.dms-1B2) and 5B (QEps.dms-5B1), in individual environments and when all the environments were combined. A QTL affecting flowering time (QFlt.dms-4A1) was identified on chromosome 4A. Two grain yield QTLs were mapped on chromosome 5B, while one QTL was mapped on chromosome 1D. The population segregated for the photoperiod insensitive gene, Ppd-D1a, and it induced earlier flowering by 0.69 days and maturity by 1.28 days. The photoperiod insensitive allele Ppd-D1a interacted in an additive fashion with QTLs for flowering and maturity times. The earliness per se QTL QFlt.dms-5B.1 inducing earlier flowering could help to elongate grain filling duration for higher grain yield. Hence, chromosome 5B possesses promising genomic regions that may be introgressed for higher grain yield with earlier maturity through marker-assisted selection in bread wheat. 相似文献

Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) is a foundation for molecular marker-assisted selection and map-based gene cloning. During the past decade, numerous QTLs for seed yield (SY) and yield-related traits in Brassica napus L. have been identified. However, integration of these results in order to compare QTLs from different mapping populations has not been undertaken, due to the lack of common molecular markers between studies. Using previously reported Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea genome sequences, we carried out in silico integration of 1,960 QTLs associated with 13 SY and yield-related traits from 15 B. napus mapping experiments over the last decade. A total of 736 SY and yield-related QTLs were mapped onto 283 loci in the A and C genomes of B. napus. These QTLs were unevenly distributed across the 19 B. napus chromosomes, with the most on chromosome A3 and the least on chromosome C6. Our integrated QTL map identified 142 loci where the conserved QTLs were detected and 25 multifunctional loci, mostly for the traits of flowering time (FT), plant height, 1,000-seed weight, maturity time and SY. These conserved QTLs and multifunctional loci may result from pleiotropism or clustered genes. At the same time, a total of 146 genes underlying the QTLs for FT and other yield-related traits were identified by comparative mapping with the Arabidopsis genome. These results facilitate the retrieval of B. napus SY and yield-related QTLs for research communities, increase the density of targeted QTL-linked markers, validate the existence of QTLs across different populations, and advance the fine mapping of genes. 相似文献

In Arabidopsis thaliana, the flowering time is regulated through the circadian clock that measures day-length and modulates the photoperiodic CO-FT output pathway in accordance with the external coincidence model. Nevertheless, the genetic linkages between the major clock-associated TOC1, CCA1 and LHY genes and the canonical CO-FT flowering pathway are less clear. By employing a set of mutants including an extremely early flowering toc1 cca1 lhy triple mutant, here we showed that CCA1 and LHY act redundantly as negative regulators of the photoperiodic flowering pathway. The partly redundant CCA1/LHY functions are largely, but not absolutely, dependent on the upstream TOC1 gene that serves as an activator. The results of examination with reference to the expression profiles of CO and FT in the mutants indicated that this clock circuitry is indeed linked to the CO-FT output pathway, if not exclusively. For this linkage, the phase control of certain flowering-associated genes, GI, CDF1 and FKF1, appears to be crucial. Furthermore, the genetic linkage between TOC1 and CCA1/LHY is compatible with the negative and positive feedback loop, which is currently believed to be a core of the circadian clock. The results of this study suggested that the circadian clock might open an exit for a photoperiodic output pathway during the daytime. In the context of the current clock model, these results will be discussed in connection with the previous finding that the same clock might open an exit for the early photomorphogenic output pathway during the night-time. 相似文献

QTL identification of flowering time at three different latitudes reveals homeologous genomic regions that control flowering in soybean 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Since the genetic control of flowering time is very important in photoperiod-sensitive soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), genes affecting flowering under different environment conditions have been identified and described. The objectives
were to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for flowering time in different latitudinal and climatic regions, and to understand
how chromosomal rearrangement and genome organization contribute to flowering time in soybean. Recombinant inbred lines from
a cross between late-flowering ‘Jinpumkong 2’ and early-flowering ‘SS2-2’ were used to evaluate the phenotypic data for days
to flowering (DF) collected from Kamphaeng Saen, Thailand (14°01′N), Suwon, Korea (37°15′N), and Longjing, China (42°46′N).
A weakly positive phenotypic correlation (r = 0.36) was found between DF in Korea and Thailand; however, a strong correlation (r = 0.74) was shown between Korea and China. After 178 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were placed on a genetic map spanning
2,551.7 cM, four independent DF QTLs were identified on different chromosomes (Chrs). Among them, three QTLs on Chrs 9, 13
and 16 were either Thailand- or Korea-specific. The DF QTL on Chr 6 was identified in both Korea and China, suggesting it
is less environment-sensitive. Comparative analysis of four DF QTL regions revealed a syntenic relationship between two QTLs
on Chrs 6 and 13. All five duplicated gene pairs clustered in the homeologous genomic regions were found to be involved in
the flowering. Identification and comparative analysis of multiple DF QTLs from different environments will facilitate the
significant improvement in soybean breeding programs with respect to control of flowering time. 相似文献

Background
The physical organization and chromosomal localization of genes within genomes is known to play an important role in their function. Most genes arise by duplication and move along the genome by random shuffling of DNA segments. Higher order structuring of the genome occurs in eukaryotes, where groups of physically linked genes are co-expressed. However, the contribution of gene duplication to gene order has not been analyzed in detail, as it is believed that co-expression due to recent duplicates would obscure other domains of co-expression.Results
We have catalogued ordered duplicated genes in Drosophila melanogaster, and found that one in five of all genes is organized as tandem arrays. Furthermore, among arrays that have been spatially conserved over longer periods than would be expected on the basis of random shuffling, a disproportionate number contain genes encoding developmental regulators. Using in situ gene expression data for more than half of the Drosophila genome, we find that genes in these conserved clusters are co-expressed to a much higher extent than other duplicated genes.Conclusions
These results reveal the existence of functional constraints in insects that retain copies of genes encoding developmental and regulatory proteins as neighbors, allowing their co-expression. This co-expression may be the result of shared cis-regulatory elements or a shared need for a specific chromatin structure. Our results highlight the association between genome architecture and the gene regulatory networks involved in the construction of the body plan. 相似文献16.

Day length has an important influence on flowering and growth habit in many plant species. In crops such as soybean, photoperiod sensitivity determines the geographical range over which a given cultivar can grow and flower. The soybean genome contains ~10 genes homologous to FT, a central regulator of flowering from Arabidopsis thaliana. However, the precise roles of these soybean FTs are not clearly. Here we show that one such gene, GmFT2b, promotes flowering under long-days (LDs). Overexpression of GmFT2b upregulates expression of flowering-related genes which are important in regulating flowering time. We propose a ‘weight’ model for soybean flowering under short-day (SD) and LD conditions. Furthermore, we examine GmFT2b sequences in 195 soybean cultivars, as well as flowering phenotypes, geographical distributions and maturity groups. We found that Hap3, a major GmFT2b haplotype, is associated with significantly earlier flowering at higher latitudes. We anticipate our assay to provide important resources for the genetic improvement of soybean, including new germplasm for soybean breeding, and also increase our understanding of functional diversity in the soybean FT gene family. 相似文献

Whole-genome duplication events (polyploidy events) and gene loss events have played important roles in the evolution of legumes. Here we show that the vast majority of Hsf gene duplications resulted from whole genome duplication events rather than tandem duplication, and significant differences in gene retention exist between species. By searching for intraspecies gene colinearity (microsynteny) and dating the age distributions of duplicated genes, we found that genome duplications accounted for 42 of 46 Hsf-containing segments in Glycine max, while paired segments were rarely identified in Lotus japonicas, Medicago truncatula and Cajanus cajan. However, by comparing interspecies microsynteny, we determined that the great majority of Hsf-containing segments in Lotus japonicas, Medicago truncatula and Cajanus cajan show extensive conservation with the duplicated regions of Glycine max. These segments formed 17 groups of orthologous segments. These results suggest that these regions shared ancient genome duplication with Hsf genes in Glycine max, but more than half of the copies of these genes were lost. On the other hand, the Glycine max Hsf gene family retained approximately 75% and 84% of duplicated genes produced from the ancient genome duplication and recent Glycine-specific genome duplication, respectively. Continuous purifying selection has played a key role in the maintenance of Hsf genes in Glycine max. Expression analysis of the Hsf genes in Lotus japonicus revealed their putative involvement in multiple tissue-/developmental stages and responses to various abiotic stimuli. This study traces the evolution of Hsf genes in legume species and demonstrates that the rates of gene gain and loss are far from equilibrium in different species. 相似文献

Comprehensive identification of major flowering time genes and their combinations,which determined rice distribution in Northeast China 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Flowering time of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is among the most important agronomic traits for regional adaptation and grain yield. To date, a number of genes or quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling flowering time have been identified in rice, and diverse natural allelic variations for these flowering genes have been revealed, which suggested that the underlying regulation mechanism of flowering time in rice is very complicated. Northeast China is a major cultivation region for temperate japonica rice, where the temperature is cooler and the day length is longer. The regional adaptability of local rice cultivar is substantially different from that of other regions. Recently, some flowering genes have been proved to play roles in regulating flowering time of local cultivars. However, a comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of these flowering genes has not been performed. In the present study, 395 cultivars collected from Northeast China is re-sequenced, SNP and InDel markers were called for 23 selected flowering-related genes. The heading date of these cultivars was also investigated for three consecutive years. Through association analysis, we found that Hd2, Hd4, and Hd5 are major flowering repressors, whereas Dth2 and Hd18 are major flowering promoters. Furthermore, Hd6 and Hd16 were identified as minor flowering repressors, and Hd17 was minor flowering promoter, in that their effectiveness can exclusively be detected when both Hd2 and Hd4 are functional. Collectively, we comprehensively identified the major and minor flowering genes which determine flowering time of temperate japonica rice grown in Northeast China. 相似文献
