An eight-founder wheat MAGIC population allows fine-mapping of flowering time loci and provides novel insights into the genetic control of flowering time
Abstract (English)
Flowering time synchronizes reproductive development with favorable environmental conditions to optimize yield. Improved understanding of the genetic control of flowering will help optimize varietal adaptation to future agricultural systems under climate change. Here, we investigate the genetic basis of flowering time in winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) using an eight-founder multi-parent advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) population. Flowering time data was collected from field trials across six growing seasons in the United Kingdom, followed by genetic analysis using a combination of linear modelling, simple interval mapping and composite interval mapping, using either single markers or founder haplotype probabilities. We detected 57 quantitative trait loci (QTL) across three growth stages linked to flowering time, of which 17 QTL were identified only when the major photoperiod response locus Ppd-D1 was included as a covariate. Of the 57 loci, ten were identified using all genetic mapping approaches and classified as ‘major’ QTL, including homoeologous loci on chromosomes 1B and 1D, and 4A and 4B. Additional Earliness per se flowering time QTL were identified, along with growth stage- and year-specific effects. Furthermore, six of the main-effect QTL were found to interact epistatically with Ppd-D1 . Finally, we exploited residual heterozygosity in the MAGIC recombinant inbred lines to Mendelize the Earliness per se QTL QFt.niab-5A.03 , which was confirmed to modulate flowering time by at least four days. This work provides detailed understanding of the genetic control of phenological variation within varieties relevant to the north-western European wheat genepool, aiding informed manipulation of flowering time in wheat breeding.
