Qtl Effects

A major weakness in our understanding of the genetic basis of complex traits has been that of defining the extent and biological basis of epistasis. Our research group has been studying the genetic control of the accumulation of maysin, a C-glycosyl flavone, in maize, Zea mays (L.), silks. Previously, we demonstrated the importance of the p1 locus as a QTL for maysin synthesis. The p1 locus often exhibits significant epistatic interactions with other loci. We developed a mapping population, (W23a1 × GT119)F2, specifically designed to test whether genes in an intersecting pathway might be detected as QTLs for maysin synthesis and result in epistatic interaction effects. The a1 gene is not required for the synthesis of flavones but is required for the synthesis of 3-deoxyanthocyanins, an intersecting pathway, in maize silks. The p1 locus (P < 0.0001) was a QTL for both flavones and 3-deoxyanthocyanins. The a1 locus was also highly significant (P < 0.0001) for both traits, as was the p1 × a1 epistatic interaction (P < 0.0001). Our results demonstrate that altering the flux of biochemical intermediates between pathways may be the biological basis of major QTL effects and epistatic interactions.Key words: maysin, epistasis, QTL, insect resistance.

AbstractLeaf angle (LA) is one of the most important canopy architecture related traits of maize (Zea mays L.). Currently, there is an urgent need to elucidate the genetic mechanism of LA at canopy-wide levels for optimizing dense-planting canopy architecture. In present study, one RIL population derived from two parent lines which show distinct plant architecture was used to perform QTL mapping for LA at eight leaves below the tassel under three environments. Dozens of QTL for LA at eight leaves were identified, which were mapped on all maize chromosomes except for the tenth chromosome. Among them, there were nine common QTL as they were identified for LA more than 1 leaves or in two or three environments. And individual QTL could explain 1.29% - 20.14% of the phenotypic variation and affect LA of 1-8 leaves, including qLA5.1 affected LA of all eight leaves, qLA3.1 affected LA of the upper leaves (1stLA to 4thLA), and qLA9.1 could affect LA of the lower leaves (5thLA to 8thLA). Furthermore, the results indicated that the genetic architecture of LA at eight leaves was different. Specifically, 8thLA was mainly affected by major and minor QTL; 1stLA, 4thLA and 5thLA were affected by epistatic interactions beside major and minor QTL; while the other four LAs were simultaneously affected by major QTL, minor QTL, epistatic interactions and environments. These results provide a comprehensive understanding of genetic basis of LA at canopy-wide levels, which will be beneficial to design ideal plant architecture under dense planting in maize.Author contribution statementJ. L. and D. T. designed and supervised the study, D. T., Z.C., J.N., Q.J., P.L., L.W., J.Z., C.L. performed the phenotypic data collection. D. T. analyzed the data and drafted the manuscript, D. T. and Z.C. revised and finalized the manuscript. All the authors read and approved the manuscript.Key messageDozens of QTL for leaf angle of eight consecutive leaves were identified in the RIL population across three environments, providing the information that optimization of canopy architecture at various canopy levels.

Penelitian tentang pengaruh pemberian produktivitas pupuk organik terhadap hasil Tanaman Jagung (Zea mays L) di tanah mineral penelitian ini di laksanakan pada bulan Februari sampai Mei, yang bertempat di Sungai Salak Kecsmstsn Tempuling Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir Provinsi Riau. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) yang disusun secara faktorial yang terdiri dari 2 faktor dan 3 ulangan. Faktor B adalah bokashi pupuk kandang yang terdiri dari 4 taraf yaitu B0 (tanpa pemberianpupuk kandang), B1 (5 ton/ha) dan B2 (10 tom/ ha), serta B3 (15 ton/ha) Parameter yang di amati adalah tinggi tanaman, panjang daun ke tujuh, berat brangkasan basah, berat berangkasan kering, berat tongkol pertanaman sampel, diameter tongkol , produksi per plot, dan berat 100 biji. Selanjutnya data yang di peroleh di olah secara statistik, apabila F hitung lebih besar dari F tabel di lanjutkan dengan uji lanjut Tukey HSD pada taraf 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa interaksi bokashi pupuk kandang dan varietas berpengaruh nyata terhadap berat tongkol dan produksi dan produksi per plot, akan tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman, panjang daun ke tujuh, berat brangkasan basah, berat brangkasan kering , diameter tongkol dan berat 1000 biji. Untuk perlakuan bokashi pupuk kandang secara tunggal berpengaruh nyata terhadap terhadap diameter tongkol , akan tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman, panjang daun ke tujuh, berat brangkasan basah, berat brangkasan kering, berat tongkol, produksi per plot, dan berat 1000 biji, perlakuan bokashi terbaik terdapat pada pemberian 15 ton/ha. Sedangkan perlakuan varietas secara tunggal berpengaruh nyata terhadap berat brangkasan basah, berat tongkol, dan produksi per plot seta berat 1000 biji, akan tetapi tidak berbeda nyata dengan tinggi tanaman, panjang daun ke tujuh, berat brangkasan kering, dan diameter tongkol. Varietass terbaik adalah NT 10

Objetivo: Caracterizar muestras representativas de razas mexicanas de maíz con marcadores moleculares ISSR, que ayuden a inferir relaciones genéticas vinculadas a su origen, morfología, aspectos ecogeográficos, distribución y usos. Diseño/metodología/aproximación: Se emplearon 54 muestras representativas de razas mexicanas de maíz caracterizadas con diez marcadores moleculares ISSR. Las distancias genéticas se calcularon con el coeficiente Dice y se generó un dendrograma con el método de agrupamiento jerárquico de varianza mínima de Ward. Para visualizar las muestras en dos dimensiones se efectúo un Análisis de Coordenadas Principales con el método de varianza mínima estandarizada. Resultados: En 76 loci detectados, el análisis de agrupamiento con una R2 semiparcial de 0.04 formó cinco grupos que compartieron características filogenéticas, ecogeográficas, morfoagronómicas, de distribución y usos especiales. El análisis de coordenadas principales mostró 21.2 % de la variación total para las dos primeras coordenadas. La primera coordenada principal explicó el 12.43 % de la variación total y separó las muestras por ubicación geográfica y usos especiales; la segunda coordenada principal explicó el 8.77 % de la variación total y separó las muestras por rangos altitudinales y ciclo biológico. Limitaciones del estudio/implicaciones: Se empleó únicamente una muestra representativa por cada raza de maíz, considerando la variabilidad genética de este cultivo se deben incluir más muestras de la misma raza. Hallazgos/conclusiones: Las relaciones genéticas entre las muestras de razas de maíz obedecen a patrones altitudinales y geográficos; aunque algunos agrupamientos compartieron aspectos filogenéticos, morfoagronómicos, de distribución y usos. Palabras clave: Variabilidad genética, recursos fitogenéticos, caracterización molecular, clasificación integral.
