Abstract
Common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most important crop in the world and a typical allopolyploid with a large and complex genome. Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) leads to a significant reduction in grain quality worldwide. PHS is a complex trait with related QTL located on different chromosomes. However, the study of markers and genes related to PHS resistance is limited especially for white-grained wheat. Four pairs of near isogenic lines (NILs) from a white-grained wheat cross of Chara × DM5637B*8 targeting a major QTL for PHS resistance (Qphs.ccsu-3A.1) on wheat chromosme 3AL were genotyped using the 90K SNP Illumina iSelect array. Ten SNPs were identified, with a 75%-100% consistency between genotype and phenotype in the resistant or susceptible isolines. The 10 SNPs were converted to cost-effective kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers. Screening of 48 wheat cultivars with different phenotypes of PHS identified four KASP markers with 81.3%-85.4% conformity between genotype and phenotype. Further investigation revealed that the four SNPs (BS00022245_51, Kukri_c49927_151, BS00022884_51 and BS00110550_51) corresponding to the four validated KASP markers are residing in three independent genes (TraesCS3A03G1072800, TraesCS3A03G1072400, TraesCS3A03G1071800) close to each other with a distance of 4.28-4.48 Mb to the targeted QTL. These three annotated genes have potential functions related to PHS resistance. Our study revealed that combined use of NILs and the 90K SNP chip is a powerful approach for developing KASP markers and mining functional genes in wheat. The KASP markers for PHS resistance on chromosome 3AL are useful for high-throughput evaluation and marker-assisted selection, and the three identified genes could lead to a better understanding of the genetic pathways controlling PHS.
