■等位基因变异的识别和分析是作物多样性研究的重要依据,性状驯化和分子标记开发。单宁含量是高粱的重要品质性状。在培育耐鸟类损害的品种或用于酿造酒的品种时,通常需要高粱谷中更高的单宁水平。非单宁生产或低单宁生产的高粱材料通常用于食品和饲料。Tan1和Tan2,两个重要的克隆基因,调节高粱单宁的生物合成,一个或两个基因的突变将导致高粱籽粒中单宁含量低或没有单宁含量。即使高粱种质含有显性的Tan1和Tan2,单宁含量也从低到高分布,并且必须有其他已知调节基因的新等位基因或新的未知基因有助于单宁的产生。
■两个父母8R306和8R191没有任何已知的Tan1和Tan2隐性等位基因,并且推测它们可能都具有显性Tan1和Tan2基因型。然而,两个亲本的表型不同;8R306有单宁,8R191有非单宁,所以这两个父母被构建为RIL种群。使用批量分离分析(BSA)来确定Tan1和Tan2的其他新等位基因或新单宁基因座。在野生高粱资源中检测到Tan1和Tan2全长序列和单宁含量,地方品种和品种。
■我们确定了两个新的隐性tan1-d和tan1-e等位基因和四个隐性Tan2等位基因,命名为tan2-d,tan2-e,tan2-f,和tan2-g。这些隐性等位基因导致Tan1和Tan2功能丧失,高粱籽粒中单宁含量低或无单宁含量。tan1-e和tan2-e的功能缺失等位基因仅在中国地方品种中发现,在世界各地种植的地方品种和品种中发现了其他等位基因。在外国地方品种中检测到tan1-a和tan1-b,中国品种和外国品种,但不是在中国的地方品种。
■这些结果表明,Tan1和Tan2隐性等位基因在世界范围内具有不同的地理分布,但并非所有的隐性等位基因都被用于育种。这些新等位基因的发现为粮食和饲料用高粱品种的选育提供了新的种质资源,并用于开发高粱低单宁或非单宁品种辅助育种的分子标记。
UNASSIGNED: The identification and analysis of allelic variation are important bases for crop diversity research, trait domestication and molecular marker development. Grain tannin content is a very important quality trait in sorghum. Higher tannin levels in sorghum grains are usually required when breeding varieties resistant to bird damage or those used for brewing liquor. Non-tannin-producing or low-tannin-producing sorghum accessions are commonly used for food and forage. Tan1 and Tan2, two important cloned genes, regulate tannin biosynthesis in sorghum, and mutations in one or two genes will result in low or no tannin content in sorghum grains. Even if sorghum accessions contain dominant Tan1 and Tan2, the tannin contents are distributed from low to high, and there must be other new alleles of the known regulatory genes or new unknown genes contributing to tannin production.
UNASSIGNED: The two parents 8R306 and 8R191 did not have any known recessive alleles for Tan1 and Tan2, and it was speculated that they probably both had dominant Tan1 and Tan2 genotypes. However, the phenotypes of two parents were different; 8R306 had tannins and 8R191 had non-tannins in the grains, so these two parents were constructed as a RIL population. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) was used to determine other new alleles of Tan1 and Tan2 or new Tannin locus. Tan1 and Tan2 full-length sequences and tannin contents were detected in wild sorghum resources, landraces and cultivars.
UNASSIGNED: We identified two novel recessive tan1-d and tan1-e alleles and four recessive Tan2 alleles, named as tan2-d, tan2-e, tan2-f, and tan2-g. These recessive alleles led to loss of function of Tan1 and Tan2, and low or no tannin content in sorghum grains. The loss-of-function alleles of tan1-e and tan2-e were only found in Chinese landraces, and other alleles were found in landraces and cultivars grown all around the world. tan1-a and tan1-b were detected in foreign landraces, Chinese cultivars and foreign cultivars, but not in Chinese landraces.
UNASSIGNED: These results implied that Tan1 and Tan2 recessive alleles had different geographically distribution in the worldwide, but not all recessive alleles had been used in breeding. The discovery of these new alleles provided new germplasm resources for breeding sorghum cultivars for food and feed, and for developing molecular markers for low-tannin or non-tannin cultivar-assisted breeding in sorghum.
