Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling Ethylene Production in Germinating Seeds in Maize (Zea mays L.).

Abstract:

:Plant seed germination is a crucial developmental event that has significant effects on seedling establishment and yield production. This process is controlled by multiple intrinsic signals, particularly phytohormones. The gaseous hormone ethylene stimulates seed germination; however, the genetic basis of ethylene production in maize during seed germination remains poorly understood. In this study, we quantified the diversity of germination among 14 inbred lines representing the parental materials corresponding to multiple recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping populations. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling ethylene production were then identified in germinating seeds from an RIL population constructed from two parental lines showing differences in both germination speed and ethylene production during germination. To explore the possible genetic correlations of ethylene production with other traits, seed germination and seed weight were evaluated using the same batch of samples. On the basis of high-density single nucleotide polymorphism-based genetic linkage maps, we detected three QTLs for ethylene production in germinating seeds, three QTLs for seed germination, and four QTLs for seed weight, with each QTL explaining 5.8%-13.2% of the phenotypic variation of the trait. No QTLs were observed to be co-localized, suggesting that the genetic bases underlying the three traits are largely different. Our findings reveal three chromosomal regions responsible for ethylene production during seed germination, and provide a valuable reference for the future investigation of the genetic mechanism underlying the role of the stress hormone ethylene in maize germination control under unfavourable external conditions.
