维生素E(Ve)是大豆油中一种天然抗氧化剂,是评价大豆油营养价值的重要指标。本研究利用含有264份的大豆自然群体在2021年和2022年测定了籽粒中α-、γ-和δ-生育酚含量,并进行全基因组关联分析(Genome-wide association study,GWAS)。...维生素E(Ve)是大豆油中一种天然抗氧化剂,是评价大豆油营养价值的重要指标。本研究利用含有264份的大豆自然群体在2021年和2022年测定了籽粒中α-、γ-和δ-生育酚含量,并进行全基因组关联分析(Genome-wide association study,GWAS)。本研究共检测到199个与大豆Ve含量显著关联的SNP位点,其中9个可在2个环境或者2个性状被重复检测到,分别位于3号、7号、11号、12号、13号、15号、17号和18号染色体上。其中位于7号染色体上的显著关联信号是控制α-生育酚含量的主效位点,可在2年环境中被检测到,表型变异解释率为9.83%。对该位点候选基因进行筛选,获得一个编码myb转录因子的基因Glyma.07G054000,可能是这个位点的效应基因。另外,在12号染色体上得到2个编码γ-生育酚甲基转移酶的基因Glyma.12G014200和Glyma.12G014300,有可能是影响Ve含量的重要基因。本研究结果有助于解析大豆籽粒Ve含量的遗传基础及其调控机制,为大豆品质遗传改良奠定了基础。展开更多
