Abstract Panicle structure and grain shape are important components of rice architecture that directly contribute to rice yield and are regulated by quantitative trait loci (QTLs). In this study, a doubled haploid (DH) population derived from a cross between japonica “Maybelle” and indica “Baiyeqiu” was used to determine genetic effects on panicle structure and grain shape. All detected traits exhibited a continuous, transgressive distribution in the DH population. QTL analysis showed that a total of 24 QTLs related to panicle structure and grain shape were detected on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 12, and three epistatic interaction QTLs were detected. Some genes related to panicle structure and grain shape were predicted in the major QTLs, and variations existed between the parents in all genes. Only OsIDS1, GS5, and SRS3 had nonsynonymous mutations that led to protein changes. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed that the expression levels of GS5 and OsFOR1 significantly differed between the two parents. In addition, genetic diversity analysis showed that the H3-35–H3-37, H6-18–H6-19, and H7-12–H7-14 intervals might be selected in the breeding program.

Tetraploid landraces of wheat harbour genetic diversity that could be introgressed into modern bread wheat with the aid of marker-assisted selection to address the genetic diversity bottleneck in the breeding genepool. A novel bi-parental Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum Schrank mapping population was created from a cross between two landrace accessions differing for multiple physiological traits. The population was phenotyped for traits hypothesised to be proxies for characteristics associated with improved photosynthesis or drought tolerance, including flowering time, awn length, flag leaf length and width, and stomatal and trichome density. The mapping individuals and parents were genotyped with the 35K Wheat Breeders’ single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. A genetic linkage map was constructed from 104 F4 individuals, consisting of 2066 SNPs with a total length of 3295 cM and an average spacing of 1.6 cM. Using the population, 10 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for five traits were identified in two years of trials. Three consistent QTLs were identified over both trials for awn length, flowering time and flag leaf width, on chromosomes 4A, 7B and 5B, respectively. The awn length and flowering time QTLs correspond with the major loci Hd and Vrn-B3, respectively. The identified marker-trait associations could be developed for marker-assisted selection, to aid the introgression of diversity from a tetraploid source into modern wheat for potential physiological trait improvement.
