摘要
Wheat is one of the most important staple crops for supplying nutrition and energy to people world. A new genetic map based on the Wheat 55 K SNP array was constructed using recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between Zhongkemai138 and Kechengmai2 to explore the genetic foundation for wheat grain features. This new map covered 2,155.72 cM across the 21 wheat chromosomes with 11,455 markers. And 2,846 specific markers for this genetic map and 148 coincident markers among different maps were documented, which was helpful for improving and updating wheat genetic and genomic information. Using this map, a total of 68 additive QTLs and 82 pairs of epistatic QTLs were detected for grain features including yield, nutrient composition, and quality-related traits by QTLNetwork 2.1 and IciMapping 4.1 software. Fourteen additive QTLs and one pair of epistatic QTLs could be detected by both software programs and thus regarded as stable QTLs here, all of which explained higher phenotypic variance and thus could be utilized for wheat grain improvement. Additionally, thirteen additive QTLs were clustered into three genomic intervals (C4D.2, C5D, and C6D2), each of which had at least two stable QTLs. Among them, C4D.2 and C5D have been attributed to the famous dwarfing gene Rht2 and the hardness locus Pina, respectively, while endowed with main effects on eight grain yield/quality related traits and epistatically interacted with each other to control moisture content, indicating that the correlation of involved traits was supported by the pleotropic of individual genes but also regulated by the gene interaction networks. Additionally, the stable additive effect of C6D2 (QMc.cib-6D2 and QTw.cib-6D2) on moisture content was also highlighted, potentially affected by a novel locus, and validated by its flanking Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR marker, and TraesCS6D02G109500, encoding aleurone layer morphogenesis protein, was deduced to be one of the candidate genes for this locus. This result observed at the QTL level the possible contribution of grain water content to the balances among yield, nutrients, and quality properties and reported a possible new locus controlling grain moisture content as well as its linked molecular marker for further grain feature improvement.
