Title: Genetic architecture of leaf morphological and physiological traits in a Populus deltoides ‘Danhong’ × P. simonii ‘Tongliao1’ pedigree revealed by quantitative trait locus analysis

Abstract

Understanding the genetic architecture of leaf morphological and physiological traits will help plant breeders develop high biomass poplar genotypes. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) studies combining next-generation sequencing techniques can advance our understanding of the genetic basis of complex traits. In this study, we measured 13 leaf morphological and physiological traits and identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in a Populus deltoides ‘Danhong’ × P. simonii ‘Tongliao1’ F1 population (500 progenies) using a high-density genetic map constructed by whole genome re-sequencing. This linkage map consisted of 5796 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers assigned to 19 linkage groups (LGs), spanning 2683.80 centimorgans (cM) of genetic length, with an average marker density of 0.46 cM. We identified 109 QTLs on 18 LGs for leaf morphological traits and 55 QTLs on 14 LGs for leaf physiological traits. One-hundred eight putative candidate genes were identified within the candidate genomic region. Co-expression network and gene ontology enrichment analyses suggested that these candidate genes were involved in the photosynthetic process. The differential expression patterns of the CYCLIN (Potri.015G112200) and RED CHLOROPHYLL REDUCTASE (Potri.007G043600) genes between two parents indicated their potential roles in leaf morphological and physiological traits. These findings decipher the genetic architecture of leaf morphological and physiologicalmore » traits in the P. deltoides ‘Danhong’ × P. simonii ‘Tongliao1’ pedigree and provide candidate genes for future poplar genetic improvement.« less
