Height to first pod: A review of genetic and breeding approaches to improve combine harvesting in legume crops. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:948099. [PMID: 36186054 PMCID: PMC9523450 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.948099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Height from soil at the base of plant to the first pod (HFP) is an important trait for mechanical harvesting of legume crops. To minimise the loss of pods, the HFP must be higher than that of the blades of most combine harvesters. Here, we review the genetic control, morphology, and variability of HFP in legumes and attempt to unravel the diverse terminology for this trait in the literature. HFP is directly related to node number and internode length but through different mechanisms. The phenotypic diversity and heritability of HFP and their correlations with plant height are very high among studied legumes. Only a few publications describe a QTL analysis where candidate genes for HFP with confirmed gene expression have been mapped. They include major QTLs with eight candidate genes for HFP, which are involved in auxin transport and signal transduction in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] as well as MADS box gene SOC1 in Medicago trancatula, and BEBT or WD40 genes located nearby in the mapped QTL in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). There is no information available about simple and efficient markers associated with HFP, which can be used for marker-assisted selection for this trait in practical breeding, which is still required in the nearest future. To our best knowledge, this is the first review to focus on this significant challenge in legume-based cropping systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To maximize photosynthetic efficiency, plants have evolved a capacity by which leaf area scales allometrically with leaf mass through interactions with the environment. However, our understanding of genetic control of this allometric relationship remains limited. RESULTS We integrated allometric scaling laws expressed at static and ontogenetic levels into genetic mapping to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that mediate how leaf area scales with leaf mass and how such leaf allometry, under the control of these QTLs, varies as a response to environment change. A major QTL detected by the static model constantly affects the allometric growth of leaf area vs. leaf mass for the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in two different environments. The ontogenetic model identified this QTL plus a few other QTLs that determine developmental trajectories of leaf allometry, whose expression is contingent heavily upon the environment. CONCLUSIONS Our results gain new insight into the genetic mechanisms of how plants program their leaf morphogenesis to adapt to environmental perturbations.

Shen Y, Yang Y, Xu E, Ge X, Xiang Y, Li Z. Novel and major QTL for branch angle detected by using DH population from an exotic introgression in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). TAG. THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS. THEORETISCHE UND ANGEWANDTE GENETIK 2018; 131:67-78. [PMID: 28942459 DOI: 10.1007/s00122-017-2986-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2017] [Accepted: 09/01/2017] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
A high-density SNP map was constructed and several novel QTL for branch angle across six environments in Brassica napus were identified. Branch angle is a major determinant for the ideotype of a plant, while the mechanisms underlying this trait in Brassica napus remain elusive. Herein, we developed one doubled haploid population from a cross involving one Capsella bursa-pastoris derived B. napus intertribal introgression line with the compressed branches and wooden stems, and constructed a high-density SNP map covering the genetic distance of 2242.14 cM, with an average marker interval of 0.73 cM. After phenotypic measurements across six environments, the inclusive composite interval mapping algorithm was conducted to analyze the QTL associated with branch angle. In single-environment analysis, a total of 17 QTL were detected and mainly distributed on chromosomes A01, A03, A09 and C03. Of these, three major QTL, qBA.A03-2, qBA.C03-3 and qBA.C03-4 were steadily expressed, each explaining more than 10% of the phenotypic variation in at least two environments. Compared with other results on rapeseed branch angle, these major QTL were newly detected. In QTL by environment interactions (QEI) mapping, 10 QTL were identified, and the QTL average effect and QEI effect were estimated. Of these, 7 QTL were detected in both single-environment analysis and QEI mapping. Based on the physical positions of SNPs and the functional annotation of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, 27 genes within the QTL regions were selected as candidate genes, including early auxin-responsive genes, small auxin-up RNA, auxin/indoleacetic acid and gretchenhagen-3. These results may pave the way for deciphering the genetic control of branch angle in B. napus.
