利用BSA-seq发掘棉花适宜机采的果枝长度相关QTL

The Identification of QTL Associated with Cotton Fruit Branch Length Suitable for Mechanized Harvest Utilizing BSA-seq

【目的】将群体分离分析法与下一代测序技术相结合,定位与棉花果枝长度关联的数量性状位点。【方法】以Ⅰ式果枝品系苏机棉125和Ⅱ式果枝品种泗抗1号为亲本,构建棉花F2分离群体。根据F2群体单株中部果枝节间平均长度,选择极端性状单株分为2组,构建DNA混池。再对2个混池进行重测序,分析2个混池之间的单核苷酸多态性和插入缺失突变,并利用欧式距离法关联与果枝节间长度相关的数量性状位点。【结果】利用测序获得的单核苷酸多态性位点数据,在A3染色体上定位到1个与果枝节间长度关联的区域,区间范围为0.8Mbp;利用测序获得的缺失突变位点数据,也在A3染色体上定位到1个关联区域,区间范围为1.09Mbp;2个关联区域互相重合,重合区间为0.77Mbp。【结论】本研究中Ⅰ式果枝相关基因被定位在A3染色体上,说明棉花Ⅰ式果枝和〇式果枝的差异是因为遗传位点和模式的不同,而不是同一基因的剂量效应。

[Objective] This study aims to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with cotton fruit branch length by using the combination of bulked-segregant analysis (BSA) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) method.[Method] In this study, the cotton F2 segregating population was developed with the short branch line Sujimian 125 and long-branch variety Sikang 1 as cross parents. According to the average internode length of fruit branches in middle, extreme individuals in F2 population were divided into two groups to generate the bulked DNA samples. The whole-genome resequencing of two DNA bulks was applied to analyze the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and insertion-deletion (InDel) between two groups, and the fruit branch internode length related QTLs were detected using Euclidean distance (ED).[Result] With SNP data obtained from sequencing, a 0.8 Mbp range associated region on chromosome A3 was identified;with InDel data obtained from sequencing, a 1.09 Mbp range associated region on chromosome A3 was identified. Two regions overlapped, and the overlapped range was 0.77 Mbp.[Conclusion] This result suggested that the difference between I-type fruit branch and zero-type was due to different genetic locus and pattern rather than dosage effect of the same gene.
