The introgression of Reduced height (Rht)-B1b and Rht-D1b into bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) varieties beginning in the 1960s led to improved lodging resistance and yield, providing a major contribution to the ‘green revolution’. Although wheat Rht-1 and surrounding sequence is available, the genetic composition of this region has not been examined in a homoeologous series. To determine this, three Rht-1-containing bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) sequences derived from the A, B, and D genomes of the bread wheat variety Chinese Spring (CS) were fully assembled and analyzed. This revealed that Rht-1 and two upstream genes were highly conserved among the homoeologs. In contrast, transposable elements (TEs) were not conserved among homoeologs with the exception of intronic miniature inverted-repeat TEs (MITEs). In relation to the Triticum urartu ancestral line, CS-A genic sequences were highly conserved and several colinear TEs were present. Comparative analysis of the CS wheat BAC sequences with assembled Poaceae genomes showed gene synteny and amino acid sequences were well preserved. Further 5′ and 3′ of the wheat BAC sequences, a high degree of gene colinearity is present among the assembled Poaceae genomes. In the 20 kb of sequence flanking Rht-1, five conserved non-coding sequences (CNSs) were present among the CS wheat homoeologs and among all the Poaceae members examined. Rht-A1 was mapped to the long arm of chromosome 4 and three closely flanking genetic markers were identified. The tools developed herein will enable detailed studies of Rht-1 and linked genes that affect abiotic and biotic stress response in wheat.  相似文献

Reduced height (Rht)-1 and Photoperiod (Ppd) have major effects on the adaptability of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) to specific environments. PpdD1a is a photoperiod insensitive allele that reduces time to flowering. The gibberellin (GA) insensitive alleles RhtB1b and RhtD1b shorten plant stature and were important components of the ‘green revolution’. Two additional RhtB1 alleles were recently identified that contain a 160 or 197 bp insertion upstream of the coding region and may affect plant height or GA sensitivity Wilhelm et al. (Theor Appl Gen doi:10.1007/s00122-013-2088-7, 2013b). We determined the frequency of the five alleles in a worldwide core collection of 372 wheat accessions (372CC) and estimated their effects on height, days to heading, and GA sensitivity when the collection was grown in pots outdoors or in the glasshouse. This revealed that each allele was widespread geographically with frequencies ranging from 0.12 to 0.25. Ppd-D1a was associated with significant (p ≤ 0.05) reductions in days to heading and height relative to photoperiod sensitive Ppd-D1b. Relative to wild type, Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b each resulted in significant reductions in height (approximately 30 %) and GA sensitivity. The 160 and 197 bp alleles were associated with significant height reductions of 18 and 12 %, respectively, and with non-significant reductions in GA sensitivity relative to wild type. Two statistical methods were developed and used to estimate GA sensitivity of the 372CC accessions, but novel GA insensitive alleles were not identified. Further characterization of the Rht-B1 insertion alleles is required, but our results suggest these may enable fine adjustments in plant height.  相似文献

The utilization of dwarfing genes Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b in wheat significantly increased grain yield and contributed to the “green revolution”. However, the benefit of Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b in drought environments has been debated. Although quantitative trait loci (QTL) for kernel number per spike (KN) and thousand-grain weight (TGW) have been found to be associated with Rht-B1 and Rht-D1, the confounding effect of environmental variation has made a direct association difficult to find. In this study, we used a doubled haploid population (225 lines) of Westonia × Kauz, in which both Rht-B1b (Kauz) and Rht-D1b (Westonia) segregated. The purpose of the study was to determine the interaction of Rht-B1 and Rht-D1 with grain yield components, namely KN and TGW, and to investigate genotype-by-environment interactions in glasshouse and field trials conducted in 2010 and 2011 in Western Australia. A genetic map of 1,156 loci was constructed using 195 microsatellite markers, two gene-based markers for Rht-B1 and Rht-D1, and 959 single nucleotide polymorphisms. The major QTL for TGW and KN were strongly linked to Rht-B1 and Rht-D1 loci and the positive effects were associated with the wild-type alleles, Rht-B1a and Rht-D1a. The major QTL of TGW were on chromosome 2D and 4B. The significant genetic effects (14.6–22.9 %) of TGW indicated that marker-assisted selection for TGW is possible, and markers gwm192a (206 bp) or gwm192b (236 bp) can be used as indicators of high TGW. For KN, one major QTL was detected on chromosome 4D in the analysis across three environments. The association of the wild-type alleles Rht-B1a and Rht-D1a in drought environments is discussed.  相似文献

The occurrence of late maturity alpha-amylase (LMA) was investigated using two doubled haploid wheat populations segregating for the dwarfing gene Rht-D1b and the 1B/1R translocation. Genotypes were assessed in the field and in controlled environments where a cold-shock treatment was used to induce LMA. Results from field-grown genotypes from the cross Spark × Rialto suggest that the absence of Rht-D1b or the presence of the 1B/1R translocation increases the expression of LMA.These two genetic factors were found to act independently and to have a positive interaction (complementary epistasis). In Option × Potent genotypes fixed for Rht-D1b, the 1B/1R effect was similar to that seen in the equivalent Spark × Rialto genotypes. Under controlled environment conditions, genotypes with the 1B/1R translocation showed a higher occurrence of LMA under both control and cold-shock conditions. 1B/1R was present in the majority of genotypes expressing LMA under control and cold-shock conditions. The results point to the novel finding that the 1B/1R translocation increases the expression of alpha-amylase in LMA-prone germplasm independently of effects of Rht-D1b, whereas previously it had been thought to act by a modification of the Rht-D1b effect.  相似文献

In the soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) regions of the US, Fusarium head blight (FHB, caused by Fusarium spp.) resistance derived from locally adapted germplasm has been used predominantly. Two soft red winter wheat cultivars, Massey and Ernie, have moderate resistance to FHB. Mapping populations derived from Becker/Massey (B/M) and Ernie/MO 94-317 (E/MO) were evaluated for FHB resistance and other traits in multiple environments. Eight QTL in B/M and five QTL in E/MO were associated with FHB variables including incidence, severity (SEV), index (IND), Fusarium damaged kernels (FDK), deoxynivalenol (DON), and morphological traits flowering time and plant height. Four QTL were common to both populations. Three of them were located at or near known genes: Ppd-D1 on chromosome 2DS, Rht-B1 on 4BS, and Rht-D1 on 4DS. Alleles for dwarf plant height (Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b) and photoperiod insensitivity (Ppd-D1a) had pleiotropic effects in reducing height and increasing FHB susceptibility. The other QTL detected for FHB variables were on 3BL in both populations, 1AS, 1DS, 2BL, and 4DL in B/M, and 5AL (B1) and 6AL in E/MO. The additive effects of FHB variables ranged from 0.4 mg kg?1 of DON to 6.2 % for greenhouse (GH) SEV in B/M and ranged from 0.3 mg kg?1 of DON to 8.3 % for GH SEV in E/MO. The 4DS QTL had epistasis with Ppd-D1, Qdon.umc-6AL, and Qht.umc-4BS, and additive × additive × environment interactions with the 4BS QTL for SEV, IND, and FDK in E/MO. Marker-assisted selection might be used to enhance FHB resistance through selection of favorable alleles of significant QTL, taking into account genotypes at Rht-B1b, Rht-D1a and Ppd-D1a.  相似文献

Gibberellins (GAs) are important phytohormones in plants. GAs promote plant growth by inducing the degradation of DELLA proteins, which serve as GA signal repressors. The semi-dwarfing genes Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b, derived from the Japanese variety Norin 10, are gain-of-function mutant alleles of the reduced height-1 genes (Rht-B1 and Rht-D1) encoding wheat DELLA proteins. Wheat varieties carrying these Rht alleles are shorter and insensitive to the GA response. At the Rht-B1 loci, an alternative GA-insensitive dwarfing gene, Rht-B1e, was found in the Russian mutant of Bezostaya1, or Krasznodari 1, by breeders, but its molecular mechanism for causing dwarfism remains unknown. In this study, the Rht-B1e allele was isolated using homology-based cloning. Sequence comparison between Rht-B1e and the wild-type Rht-B1a revealed an A-to-T substitution at nucleotide position 181 in Rht-B1e, which introduced a stop codon into the DELLA domain. Alignment of deduced amino acid sequences of Rht-B1e and Rht-B1b showed that the stop codon position in Rht-B1e was earlier than that of Rht-B1b by three amino acid residues, and it was also followed closely by several methionines, which may permit translational re-initiation, as seen in Rht-B1b. Yeast two-hybrid analysis revealed that the predicted Rht-B1e proteins did not interact with the GA receptor GID1 in the presence of GA, suggesting that the stop codon mutation in the DELLA domain is the molecular cause of GA insensitivity and dwarfism conferred by Rht-B1e in wheat. Meanwhile, we developed an allele-specific PCR marker for Rht-B1e, which may facilitate the use of the Rht-B1e dwarfing gene in wheat breeding programs.  相似文献

A statistical analysis of the data about 1422 bread wheat accessions with estimated preharvest sprouting was carried out. Close associations of preharvest sprouting resistance with the grain color and with resistance to Fusarium head blight were revealed, as well as weak, but statistically significant, associations with the habit, awnedness, and reduced height genes Rht-B1 and Rht-D1 (insensitive to gibberellin GA3). The pedigree analysis showed that the cluster structures of the gene pools of the North American red-grained and white-grained varieties are practically identical. In both groups, varieties that are resistant to preharvest sprouting differ from susceptible ones in the percentage of the contributions of the Crimean and Mediterranean landraces. Resistance is associated with a high contribution by the Crimean landrace and susceptibility is associated with a high contribution by the Mediterranean landrace.  相似文献

Eight QTL for coleoptile length were identified in a genome-wide association study on a set of 893 wheat accessions, four of which are novel loci.

Abstract

Wheat cultivars with long coleoptiles are preferred in wheat-growing regions where deep planting is practiced. However, the wide use of gibberellic acid (GA)-insensitive dwarfing genes, Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b, makes it challenging to breed dwarf wheat cultivars with long coleoptiles. To understand the genetic basis of coleoptile length, we performed a genome-wide association study on a set of 893 landraces and historical cultivars using 5011 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Structure analysis revealed four subgroups in the association panel. Association analysis results suggested that Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b genes significantly reduced coleoptile length, and eight additional quantitative trait loci (QTL) for coleoptile length were also identified. These QTL explained 1.45–3.18 and 1.36–3.11% of the phenotypic variation in 2015 and 2016, respectively, and their allelic substitution effects ranged from 0.31 to 1.75 cm in 2015, and 0.63–1.55 cm in 2016. Of the eight QTL, QCL.stars-1BS1, QCL.stars-2DS1, QCL.stars-4BS2, and QCL.stars-5BL1 are likely novel loci for coleoptile length. The favorable alleles in each accession ranged from two to eight with an average of 5.8 at eight loci in the panel, and more favorable alleles were significantly associated with longer coleoptile, suggesting that QTL pyramiding is an effective approach to increase wheat coleoptile length.

This study identified Rht25, a new plant height locus on wheat chromosome arm 6AS, and characterized its pleiotropic effects on important agronomic traits.

Abstract

Understanding genes regulating wheat plant height is important to optimize harvest index and maximize grain yield. In modern wheat varieties grown under high-input conditions, the gibberellin-insensitive semi-dwarfing alleles Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b have been used extensively to confer lodging tolerance and improve harvest index. However, negative pleiotropic effects of these alleles (e.g., poor seedling emergence and reduced biomass) can cause yield losses in hot and dry environments. As part of current efforts to diversify the dwarfing alleles used in wheat breeding, we identified a quantitative trait locus (QHt.ucw-6AS) affecting plant height in the proximal region of chromosome arm 6AS (<?0.4 cM from the centromere). Using a large segregating population (~?2800 gametes) and extensive progeny tests (70–93 plants per recombinant family), we mapped QHt.ucw-6AS as a Mendelian locus to a 0.2 cM interval (144.0–148.3 Mb, IWGSC Ref Seq v1.0) and show that it is different from Rht18. QHt.ucw-6AS is officially designated as Rht25, with Rht25a representing the height-increasing allele and Rht25b the dwarfing allele. The average dwarfing effect of Rht25b was found to be approximately half of the effect observed for Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b, and the effect is greater in the presence of the height-increasing Rht-B1a and Rht-D1a alleles than in the presence of the dwarfing alleles. Rht25b is gibberellin-sensitive and shows significant pleiotropic effects on coleoptile length, heading date, spike length, spikelet number, spikelet density, and grain weight. Rht25 represents a new alternative dwarfing locus that should be evaluated for its potential to improve wheat yield in different environments.

Facultative wheat varieties adapt to a particular environment. But the molecular basis for the facultative growth habit is not clear relative to winter and spring growth habit. Two sets of wheat varieties were chosen for this study. Set 1 comprised ten spring accessions and Set 2 comprised ten facultative accessions. All accessions had been tested by the previously described allele-specific markers and shown having the same allelic composition of vrn-A1 vrn-B1 Vrn-D1 and vrn-B3. Here we examined whether differences in growth habit might be associated with as yet unidentified sequence variation at Vrn-D1 locus. A region including the intron 1 deletion, the entire reading frame from a cDNA template and a part of promoter region of the dominant Vrn-D1 gene in each of the accessions was sequenced, and a single nucleotide polymorphism was found between facultative accessions and spring accessions in the CArG-box at the promoter region. The novel allele in facultative accessions was designated as Vrn-D1b. The investigation of an F2 population segregating for Vrn-D1b and Vrn-D1a (previously, Vrn-D1) in the greenhouse under long days without vernalization showed that the plants with Vrn-D1b homozygous allele headed 32?days later and had about three more leaves than the plants with Vrn-D1a homozygous allele. As Vrn-D1b has the same deletion in intron 1 as Vrn-D1a, and, in addition, a single nucleotide mutation at promoter region, and is associated with facultative growth habit, we suggest that the promoter mutation may modify the basal activity level of an allele of VRN1 that is already active (due to the loss of segments in intron 1). Our finding further supports that both the promoter and intron 1 regulatory affect vernalization response and work independently.  相似文献

The dwarfing gene Rht24 on chromosome 6A acts in the wheat population ‘Solitär × Bussard’, considerably reducing plant height without increasing Fusarium head blight severity and delaying heading stage.

Abstract

The introduction of the Reduced height (Rht)-B1 and Rht-D1 semi-dwarfing genes led to remarkable increases in wheat yields during the Green Revolution. However, their utilization also brings about some unwanted characteristics, including the increased susceptibility to Fusarium head blight. Thus, Rht loci that hold the potential to reduce plant height in wheat without concomitantly increasing Fusarium head blight (FHB) susceptibility are urgently required. The biparental population ‘Solitär × Bussard’ fixed for the Rht-1 wild-type alleles, but segregating for the recently described gibberellic acid (GA)-sensitive Rht24 gene, was analyzed to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for FHB severity, plant height, and heading date and to evaluate the effect of the Rht24 locus on these traits. The most prominent QTL was Rht24 on chromosome 6A explaining 51% of genotypic variation for plant height and exerting an additive effect of ? 4.80 cm. For FHB severity three QTL were detected, whereas five and six QTL were found for plant height and heading date, respectively. No FHB resistance QTL was co-localized with QTL for plant height. Unlike the Rht-1 semi-dwarfing alleles, Rht24b did not significantly affect FHB severity. This demonstrates that the choice of semi-dwarfing genes used in plant breeding programs is of utmost consideration where resistance to FHB is an important breeding target.

Grain protein content in wheat has been shown to be affected by the NAM-B1 gene where the wildtype allele confers high levels of protein and micronutrients but can reduce yield. Two known non-functional alleles instead increase yield but lead to lower levels of protein and micronutrients. The wildtype allele in hexaploid bread wheat is so far mainly known from historical specimens and a few lines with an emmer wheat introgression. Here we report a screening for the wildtype allele in wheats of different origin. First, a worldwide core collection of 367 bread wheats with worldwide origin was screened and five accessions carrying the wildtype NAM-B1 allele were found. Several of these could be traced to a Fennoscandian origin and the wildtype allele was more frequent in spring wheat. These findings, together with the late maturation of spring wheat, suggested that the faster maturation caused by the wildtype allele might have preserved it in areas with a short growing season. Thus a second set consisting of 138 spring wheats of a northern origin was screened and as many as 33?% of the accessions had the wildtype allele, all of a Fennoscandian origin. The presence of the wildtype allele in landraces and cultivars is in agreement with the use of landraces in Fennoscandian wheat breeding. Last, 22 spelt wheats, a wheat type previously suggested to carry the wildtype allele, were screened and five wildtype accessions found. The wildtype NAM-B1 accessions found could be a suitable material for plant breeding efforts directed towards increasing the nutrient content of bread wheat.  相似文献

Key message

The portfolio of available Reduced height loci (Rht-B1, Rht-D1, and Rht24) can be exploited for hybrid wheat breeding to achieve the desired heights in the female and male parents, as well as in the hybrids, without adverse effects on other traits relevant for hybrid seed production.

Abstract

Plant height is an important trait in wheat line breeding, but is of even greater importance in hybrid wheat breeding. Here, the height of the female and male parental lines must be controlled and adjusted relative to each other to maximize hybrid seed production. In addition, the height of the resulting hybrids must be fine-tuned to meet the specific requirements of the farmers in the target regions. Moreover, this must be achieved without adversely impacting traits relevant for hybrid seed production. In this study, we explored Reduced height (Rht) loci effective in elite wheat and exploited their utilization for hybrid wheat breeding. We performed association mapping in a panel of 1705 wheat hybrids and their 225 parental lines, which besides the Rht-B1 and Rht-D1 loci revealed Rht24 as a major QTL for plant height. Furthermore, we found that the Rht-1 loci also reduce anther extrusion and thus cross-pollination ability, whereas Rht24 appeared to have no adverse effect on this trait. Our results suggest different haplotypes of the three Rht loci to be used in the female or male pool of a hybrid breeding program, but also show that in general, plant height is a quantitative trait controlled by numerous small-effect QTL. Consequently, marker-assisted selection for the major Rht loci must be complemented by phenotypic selection to achieve the desired height in the female and male parents as well as in the wheat hybrids.

Resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) is of great importance in wheat breeding programs in the northern hemisphere. In Europe, breeders prefer adapted germplasm as resistance donor because of high grain yield and quality demands. Our objective was to identify chromosomal regions affecting FHB resistance among 455 European soft winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) lines using a genome-wide association mapping approach and to analyze the importance of epistatic interactions. All entries were evaluated for FHB resistance by inoculation in two environments and several ratings. Wheat was genotyped by 115 simple sequence repeat markers randomly distributed across the genome and two allele-specific markers for Rht-B1 and Rht-D1 genes. The genome-wide scan revealed nine significant (P < 0.05) marker–phenotype associations on seven chromosomes including dwarfing gene Rht-D1. Using a Bonferroni–Holm correction, three significant associations remained on chromosomes 1B, 1D, and 2D. The proportion of the genotypic variance explained simultaneously by individual markers was 36% and increased to 50% when two digenic epistatic interactions were considered, one of them associated with Rht-B1. In conclusion, new genomic regions on chromosomes 1D and 3A could be found for FHB resistance in European wheat and the effect of epistatic interactions was substantial.  相似文献

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is a major cause of time-dependent darkening and discoloration in Asian noodles and other wheat-based products. One of the best ways to reduce this undesirable darkening is to breed new wheat cultivars with low PPO activity using efficient and reliable markers. Based on the sequence of a PPO gene SSPPO-B1 (GenBank accession no. AB254804) located on chromosome 2B of common wheat, 26 pairs of primers were designed to detect polymorphisms between wheat cultivars with low and high PPO activity. F-8, one of these primer pairs, amplified double fragments (band ??a?? of approximately 400?bp and band ??b?? of approximately 600?bp) in the cultivars with low PPO activity, and a single fragment (only band a) in the cultivars with high PPO activity. The differences between the fragments a and b include five indels and several single nucleotide polymorphisms, which occurred in intron II of the PPO gene. F-8 can be used as a sequence-tagged site marker to discriminate between two alleles Ppo-B1a (GQ303713) and Ppo-B1b (AB254804). The screening of 284 accessions of the core collection of Chinese wheat germplasms using the marker F-8 showed that the double fragments were present in 188 accessions, and the single fragments were present in the remaining 96 accessions. Statistical analysis revealed that the cultivars with the double fragments had significantly lower mean PPO activity than those with the single fragments. We also screened the 284 accessions using two additional markers, PPO18 for Ppo-A1 on chromosome 2A and STS01 for Ppo-D1 on chromosome 2D. Results showed that the combination of markers F-8, PPO18, and STS01 could reliably predict PPO activity. These markers can be used in wheat breeding programs for low PPO activity selection to improve the quality of wheat-based products.  相似文献

Winter wheat requires vernalization, a long exposure to low but non-freezing temperatures, to promote reproductive development. The vernalization requirement in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is mainly controlled by the Vrn-1 genes that are located on chromosomes 5A, 5B and 5D. Dominant alleles confer spring habit and are epistatic to the recessive winter alleles which means that spring varieties carry at least one dominant allele. To date, two dominant and one recessive Vrn-B1 alleles have been described. Vrn-B1a (formerly designated as Vrn-B1) differs from the winter vrn-B1 allele by a large deletion in intron 1. Vrn-B1b has an additional small deletion and is probably derived from Vrn-B1a. The novel allele described here and designated as Vrn-B1c also has a large deletion within intron 1 but with different breakpoints from Vrn-B1a or b, and sequence duplication, showing that this is an independently derived spring allele. By combining an exon 1 primer with previously published PCR primers it was possible to develop a multiplex PCR that distinguished all four alleles simultaneously. The multiplex PCR was validated by testing 320 winter wheat and 137 spring wheat varieties. This demonstrated that the novel Vrn-B1c allele was present in 25 spring varieties of diverse origin, showing this allele to be widely distributed.  相似文献

For genetic analysis of Ppd-1 homoeologs controlling photoperiodic response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), bulk segregant analysis was performed using a doubled haploid (DH) population derived from a cross of Japanese wheat genotypes Winter-Abukumawase and Chihokukomugi. Based on the segregation of simple sequence repeat markers linked to the Ppd-1 homoeologs, Winter-Abukumawase carried insensitive alleles Ppd-B1a and Ppd-D1a and Chihokukomugi carried a single insensitive allele (Ppd-A1a) that was first found in common wheat. The genomic sequence of Ppd-1 homoeologs including the 5′ upstream region was determined and compared between the two genotypes. Ppd-D1a of Winter-Abukumawase had a deletion of 2,089 bp that was already reported for Ciano 67. Critical sequence polymorphism causing photoperiod insensitivity was not detected from the translation start codon to the 3′ untranslated region of Ppd-A1 and Ppd-B1. However, novel mutations were found in the 5′ upstream region. Ppd-A1a of Chihokukomugi had a deletion of 1,085 bp and Ppd-B1a of Winter-Abukumawase had an insertion of 308 bp. A total of 80 DH lines were classified into eight genotypes by PCR-based genotyping using specific primer sets to detect the In/Dels in the 5′ upstream region of three Ppd-1 genes. The heading dates of the DH lines differed significantly between the eight genotypes, showing that each of the three insensitive alleles accelerates heading by 7–9 days compared with the photoperiod-sensitive genotype. Interaction between the three genes was also significant.  相似文献

The yellow pigment content (YPC) of endosperm affects the quality and nutritional value of wheat grain products. Major quantitative trait loci (QTL) for endosperm YPC have been repeatedly mapped on chromosomes 7A and 7B in durum and bread wheats. The genes coding for phytoene synthase (PSY1), which is involved in the biosynthesis of carotenoids, generally co-segregate with these QTL, indicating their role in determining YPC. Here, to study the genetic factors underlying endosperm YPC in bread wheat, the sequence polymorphism of the homoeologous A, B and D copies of genes coding for PSY1, Psy-A1, Psy-B1, and Psy-D1, was studied in a worldwide core collection, which was also phenotyped for flour YPC. Seven novel alleles of Psy-A1 and two novel alleles of Psy-B1 were detected, which confirms the high level of polymorphism of these genes. Two major QTL with respective candidate genes Psy-A1 and Psy-B1 were identified in the distal region of chromosomes 7A and 7B using progeny of a cross between Apache and Ornicar, high and low YPC cultivars, respectively. Association mapping confirms the role of these genes in YPC and shows that the D copy also significantly influences this trait. These results indicate that breeders need to consider all three Psy1 copies when seeking to improve the YPC of wheat endosperm.  相似文献
