Abstract

Avoidance of disadvantageous genetic correlations among growth duration and yield traits is critical in developing crop varieties that efficiently use light and energy resources and produce high yields. To understand the genetic basis underlying the correlations among heading date and three major yield traits in rice, we investigated the four traits in a diverse and representative core collection of 266 cultivated rice accessions in both long-day and short-day environments, and conducted the genome-wide association study using 4.6 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). There were clear positive correlation between heading date and grain number per panicle, and negative correlation between grain number per panicle and panicle number, as well as different degrees of correlations among other traits in different subspecies and environments. We detected 47 pleiotropic genes in 15 pleiotropic quantitative trait loci (pQTLs), 18 pleiotropic genes containing 37 pleiotropic SNPs in 8 pQTLs, 27 pQTLs with r2 of linkage disequilibrium higher than 0.2, and 39 pairs of interactive genes from 8 metabolic pathways that may contribute to the above phenotypic correlations, but these genetic bases were different for correlations among different traits. Distributions of haplotypes revealed that selection for pleiotropic genes or interactive genes controlling different traits focused on genotypes with weak effect or on those balancing two traits that maximized production but sometimes their utilization strategies depend on the traits and environment. Detection of pQTLs and interactive genes and associated molecular markers will provide an ability to overcome disadvantageous correlations and to utilize the advantageous correlations among traits through marker-assisted selection in breeding.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 June 2018.
All research outputs
#18,640,437
of 23,092,602 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Plant Science
#14,076
of 20,702 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#255,225
of 330,123 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Plant Science
#360
of 464 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,092,602 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,702 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,123 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 464 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
