abstract: Promising agronomic crop traits could be more accessible to
breeding if we understood their underlying plant processes and
knew their genetics determinacy. Here, we attempt to progress
understanding of the functional linkages between traits using
PCA and quantitative trait loci (QTL) co-localization approach. A
recombinant inbred lines (RIL; 181 progenies) population derived
from a cross between senescent (N13) and stay-green(E36-1)
parental lines was selected. This population was previously
shown to segregate for stay-green expression and Striga resistance
in the field. Here it was phenotyped for: (i) grain size
variability under optimal field conditions; (ii) traits related to
early-vigor (canopy size and growth rate) in a high-throughput
phenotyping platform. Most traits had high heritability (>60%).
Linkage map was constructed (271 molecular markers) and QTL
analysis (Cartographer 2.5) performed using composite interval
mapping function. Two major QTLs influencing canopy size were
found on SBI04 and SBI05. The SBI05 QTL harboring canopy
size co-localized with the grain size QTL and with the genetic
region of stg-4 (stay green) QTL (responsible for leaf size distribution).
This links the vigor traits to the variability in grain size
and leaf development (i.e. stay-green mechanism) the latter
possibly explaining the variability in grain size. Since grain size
partially regulates grain nutrients profile, such linkage calls for
further exploration in breeding. The SBI-04 QTL for canopy size
co-localized with QTLs for Striga resistance, strengthening the
hypothesis that plant vigor enhances Striga resistance. Vigor appears
to explain several traits and could be rapidly screened at
the LeasyScan facility.
