Abstract
Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD) caused by pathogenic viruses in the genus Fijivirus in the family Reoviridae is one of the most destructive diseases in maize. The pyramiding of effective resistance genes into maize varieties is a potential approach to reduce the damage resulting from the disease. Two major quantitative trait loci (QTLs) (qMrdd2 and qMrdd8) have been previously identified. The resistance genes ZmGLK36 and ZmGDIα-hel have also been cloned with the functional markers Indel-26 and IDP25K, respectively. In this study, ZmGLK36 and ZmGDIα-hel were introgressed to improve MRDD resistance of maize lines (Zheng58, Chang7-2, B73, Mo17, and their derived hybrids Zhengdan958 and B73 × Mo17) via marker-assisted selection (MAS). The converted lines and their derived hybrids, carrying one or two genes, were evaluated for MRDD resistance using artificial inoculation methods. The double-gene pyramiding lines and their derived hybrids exhibited increased resistance to MRDD compared to the monogenic lines and the respective hybrids. The genetic backgrounds of the converted lines were highly similar (90.85-98.58%) to the recurrent parents. In addition, agronomic trait evaluation demonstrated that pyramiding lines with one or two genes and their derived hybrids were not significantly different from the recurrent parents and their hybrids under nonpathogenic stress, including period traits (tasseling, pollen shedding, and silking), yield traits (ear length, grain weight per ear and 100-kernel weight) and quality traits (protein and starch content). There were differences in plant architecture traits between the improved lines and their hybrids. This study illustrated the successful development of gene pyramiding for improving MRDD resistance by advancing the breeding process.

Abstract
Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD), caused by maize rough dwarf virus (MRDV) or rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV), seriously threatens worldwide production of all major cereal crops, including maize, rice, wheat and barley. Here we report fine mapping and cloning of a previously reported major quantitative trait locus (QTL) (qMrdd2) for RBSDV resistance in maize. Subsequently, we show that qMrdd2 encodes a G2-like transcription factor named ZmGLK36 that promotes resistance to RBSDV by enhancing jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis and JA-mediated defence response. We identify a 26-bp indel located in the 5' UTR of ZmGLK36 that contributes to differential expression and resistance to RBSDV in maize inbred lines. Moreover, we show that ZmDBF2, an AP2/EREBP family transcription factor, directly binds to the 26-bp indel and represses ZmGLK36 expression. We further demonstrate that ZmGLK36 plays a conserved role in conferring resistance to RBSDV in rice and wheat using transgenic or marker-assisted breeding approaches. Our results provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of RBSDV resistance and effective strategies to breed RBSDV-resistant cereal crops.

THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS. THEORETISCHE UND ANGEWANDTE GENETIK 2022; 135:1551-1563. [PMID: 35181836 PMCID: PMC9110495 DOI: 10.1007/s00122-022-04053-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Accepted: 01/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
A major QTL of qRtsc8-1 conferring TSC resistance was identified and fine mapped to a 721 kb region on chromosome 8 at 81 Mb, and production markers were validated in breeding lines. Tar spot complex (TSC) is a major foliar disease of maize in many Central and Latin American countries and leads to severe yield loss. To dissect the genetic architecture of TSC resistance, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) panel and a bi-parental doubled haploid population were used for GWAS and selective genotyping analysis, respectively. A total of 115 SNPs in bin 8.03 were detected by GWAS and three QTL in bins 6.05, 6.07, and 8.03 were detected by selective genotyping. The major QTL qRtsc8-1 located in bin 8.03 was detected by both analyses, and it explained 14.97% of the phenotypic variance. To fine map qRtsc8-1, the recombinant-derived progeny test was implemented. Recombinations in each generation were backcrossed, and the backcross progenies were genotyped with Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP) markers and phenotyped for TSC resistance individually. The significant tests for comparing the TSC resistance between the two classes of progenies with and without resistant alleles were used for fine mapping. In BC5 generation, qRtsc8-1 was fine mapped in an interval of ~ 721 kb flanked by markers of KASP81160138 and KASP81881276. In this interval, the candidate genes GRMZM2G063511 and GRMZM2G073884 were identified, which encode an integral membrane protein-like and a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinase, respectively. Both genes are involved in maize disease resistance responses. Two production markers KASP81160138 and KASP81160155 were verified in 471 breeding lines. This study provides valuable information for cloning the resistance gene, and it will also facilitate the routine implementation of marker-assisted selection in the breeding pipeline for improving TSC resistance.

Genome-Wide Profiling of Alternative Splicing and Gene Fusion during Rice Black-Streaked Dwarf Virus Stress in Maize (Zea mays L.). Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13030456.

Abstract
Rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) causes maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD), which is a viral disease that significantly affects maize yields worldwide. Plants tolerate stress through transcriptional reprogramming at the alternative splicing (AS), transcriptional, and fusion gene (FG) levels. However, it is unclear whether and how AS and FG interfere with transcriptional reprogramming in MRDD. In this study, we performed global profiling of AS and FG on maize response to RBSDV and compared it with transcriptional changes. There are approximately 1.43 to 2.25 AS events per gene in maize infected with RBSDV. GRMZM2G438622 was only detected in four AS modes (A3SS, A5SS, RI, and SE), whereas GRMZM2G059392 showed downregulated expression and four AS events. A total of 106 and 176 FGs were detected at two time points, respectively, including six differentially expressed genes and five differentially spliced genes. The gene GRMZM2G076798 was the only FG that occurred at two time points and was involved in two FG events. Among these, 104 GOs were enriched, indicating that nodulin-, disease resistance-, and chloroplastic-related genes respond to RBSDV stress in maize. These results provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying post-transcriptional and transcriptional regulation of maize response to RBSDV stress.

Abstract
Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD) is a viral disease that causes substantial yield loss, especially in China's summer planted maize area. Discovery of resistance genes would help in developing high-yielding resistant maize hybrids. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have advanced quickly and are now a powerful tool for dissecting complex genetic architectures. In this study, the disease severity index (DSI) of 292 maize inbred lines and an F6 linkage population were investigated across multiple environments for two years. Using the genotypes obtained from the Maize SNP 50K chip, a GWAS was performed with four analytical models. The results showed that 22 SNPs distributed on chromosomes 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 were significantly associated with resistance to MRDD (P<0.0001). The SNPs on chromosomes 3, 6 and 8 were consistent with the quantitative trait locus (QTL) regions from linkage mapping in an RIL population. Candidate genes identified by GWAS included an LRR receptor-like serine/threonine-protein kinase (GRMZM2G141288), and a DRE-binding protein (GRMZM2G006745). In addition, we performed an allele variation analysis of the SNP loci selected by GWAS and linkage mapping and found that the main alleles of the two SNP loci PZE_101170408 and PZE_106082685 on chromosome 1 differed in terms of disease-resistant materials and disease-susceptible materials. The identified SNPs and genes provide useful information for MRDD-related gene cloning and insights on the underlying disease resistance mechanisms, and they can be used in marker-assisted breeding to develop MRDD-resistant maize.

Abstract
Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD) is caused by a virus and seriously affects maize quality and yield worldwide. MRDD can be most effectively controlled with disease-resistant hybrids of corn. Here, MRDD-resistant (Qi319) and -susceptible (Ye478) parental inbred maize lines and their 314 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) that were derived from a cross between them were evaluated across three environments. A stable resistance QTL, qMrdd2, was identified and mapped using best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values to a 0.55-Mb region between the markers MK807 and MK811 on chromosome 2 (B73 RefGen_v3) and was found to explain 8.6 to 11.0% of the total phenotypic variance in MRDD resistance. We validated the effect of qMrdd2 using a chromosome segment substitution line (CSSL) that was derived from a cross between maize inbred Qi319 as the MRDD resistance donor and Ye478 as the recipient. Disease severity index of the CSSL haplotype II harboring qMrdd2 was significantly lower than that of the susceptible parent Ye478. Subsequently, we fine-mapped qMrdd2 to a 315-kb region flanked by the markers RD81 and RD87, thus testing recombinant-derived progeny using selfed backcrossed families. In this study, we identified a novel QTL for MRDD resistance by combining the RIL and CSSL populations, thus providing important genetic information that can be used for breeding MRDD-resistant varieties of maize.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD), a widespread disease caused by four pathogenic viruses, severely reduces maize yield and grain quality. Resistance against MRDD is a complex trait that controlled by many quantitative trait loci (QTL) and easily influenced by environmental conditions. So far, many studies have reported numbers of resistant QTL, however, only one QTL have been cloned, so it is especially important to map and clone more genes that confer resistance to MRDD. RESULTS In the study, a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) qMrdd2, which confers resistance to MRDD, was identified and fine mapped. qMrdd2, located on chromosome 2, was consistently identified in a 15-Mb interval between the simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers D184 and D1600 by using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between resistant ("80007") and susceptible ("80044") inbred lines. Using a recombinant-derived progeny test strategy, qMrdd2 was delineated to an interval of 577 kb flanked by markers N31 and N42. We further demonstrated that qMrdd2 is an incompletely dominant resistance locus for MRDD that reduced the disease severity index by 20.4%. CONCLUSIONS A major resistance QTL (qMrdd2) have been identified and successfully refined into 577 kb region. This locus will be valuable for improving maize variety resistance to MRDD via marker-assisted selection (MAS).

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2020; 11:788. [PMID: 32793248 PMCID: PMC7387702 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2020.00788] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2020] [Accepted: 05/18/2020] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Maize yield components including row number, kernel number per row, kernel thickness, kernel width, kernel length, 100-kernel weight, and volume weight affect grain yield directly. Previous studies mainly focused on dissecting the genetic basis of per se performances for yield-related traits, but the genetic basis of general combining ability (GCA) for these traits is still unclear. In the present study, 328 RILs were crossed as males to two testers according to the NCII mating design, resulting in a hybrid panel composed of 656 hybrids. Both the hybrids and parental lines were evaluated in four environments in 2015 and 2016. Correlation analysis showed the performances of GCA effects were significantly correlated to the per se performances of RILs for all yield-related traits (0.17 ≤ r ≤ 0.64, P > 0.01). Only 17 of 95 QTL could be detected for both per se performances of RILs and GCA effects for eight yield-related traits. The QTL qKN7-1 and qHKW1-3, which could explain more than 10% of the variation in the GCA effects of KN and HKW, were also detected for per se performances for the traits. The pleiotropic loci qRN3-1 and qRN6, which together explained 14.92% of the observed variation in GCA effects for RN, were associated with the GCA effects of KW and HKW, but not with per se performances for these traits. In contrast, Incw1, which was related to seed weight in maize, was mapped to the region surrounding MK2567 at the qHKW5-2 locus, but no GCA effect was detected. The QTL identified in present study for per se performances and corresponding GCA effects for yield-related traits might be useful for maize hybrid breeding.

Abstract
Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD), caused by various species of the genus Fijivirus, threatens maize production worldwide. We previously identified a quantitative locus qMrdd1 conferring recessive resistance to one causal species, rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV). Here, we show that Rab GDP dissociation inhibitor alpha (RabGDIα) is the host susceptibility factor for RBSDV. The viral P7-1 protein binds tightly to the exon-10 and C-terminal regions of RabGDIα to recruit it for viral infection. Insertion of a helitron transposon into RabGDIα intron 10 creates alternative splicing to replace the wild-type exon 10 with a helitron-derived exon 10. The resultant splicing variant RabGDIα-hel has difficulty being recruited by P7-1, thus leading to quantitative recessive resistance to MRDD. All naturally occurring resistance alleles may have arisen from a recent single helitron insertion event. These resistance alleles are valuable to improve maize resistance to MRDD and potentially to engineer RBSDV resistance in other crops. Maize rough dwarf disease threatens its production. Here, the authors show that a helitron transposon insertion in the Rab GDP dissociation inhibitor alpha leads to recessive viral resistance by affecting its interaction with viral P7-1 protein and that all naturally occurring alleles come from a single mutation event after domestication.

Abstract
Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD) is a significant viral disease caused by rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) in China, which results in 30% yield losses in affected summer maize-growing areas. In this study, two connected recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations were constructed to elucidate the genetic basis of resistance during two crop seasons. Ten quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance to MRDD were detected in the two RILs. Individual QTLs accounted for 4.97-23.37% of the phenotypic variance explained (PVE). The resistance QTL (qZD-MRDD8-1) with the largest effect was located in chromosome bin 8.03, representing 16.27-23.37% of the PVE across two environments. Interestingly, one pair of common significant QTLs was located in the similar region on chromosome 4 in both populations, accounting for 7.11-9.01% of the PVE in Zheng58×D863F (RIL-ZD) and 9.43-13.06% in Zheng58×ZS301 (RIL-ZZ). A total of five QTLs for MRDD resistance trait showed significant QTL-by-Environment interactions (QEI). Two candidate genes associated with resistance (GDSL-lipase and RPP13-like gene) which were higher expressed in resistant inbred line D863F than in susceptible inbred line Zheng58, were located in the physical intervals of the major QTLs on chromosomes 4 and 8, respectively. The identified QTLs will be studied further for application in marker-assisted breeding in maize genetic improvement of MRDD resistance.

Identification of a locus conferring dominant resistance to maize rough dwarf disease in maize. Sci Rep 2018; 8:3248.

Abstract
Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD) is a severe viral disease of maize that occurs worldwide, particularly in the summer maize-growing areas in China, resulting in yield losses and quality deterioration in susceptible maize varieties. An effective solution to control MRDD is to use resistance genes to improve the behavior of susceptible genotypes. Here, we employed maize F2 populations derived from a cross between susceptible line S221 and resistant line K36 for the deep sequencing of the two DNA pools containing extremely resistant and susceptible F2 individuals, and used traditional linkage analysis to locate the resistance-related genomic region. The results showed that MRDD resistance in K36 was controlled by a single dominant locus, and an associated region was identified within the genomic interval of 68,396,487 bp and 69,523,478 bp on chromosome 6. Two simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers 6F29R29 and 6F34R34 were tightly linked to the MRDD resistance locus. The findings of the present study improve our understanding of the inheritance patterns of MRDD resistance, and should inform MRDD-resistant maize breeding programs.

Analysis of the genetic architecture of maize ear and grain morphological traits by combined linkage and association mapping. TAG. THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS. THEORETISCHE UND ANGEWANDTE GENETIK 2017; 130:1011-1029.

Abstract
Using combined linkage and association mapping, 26 stable QTL and six stable SNPs were detected across multiple environments for eight ear and grain morphological traits in maize. One QTL, PKS2, might play an important role in maize yield improvement. In the present study, one bi-parental population and an association panel were used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for eight ear and grain morphological traits. A total of 108 QTL related to these traits were detected across four environments using an ultra-high density bin map constructed using recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between Ye478 and Qi319, and 26 QTL were identified in more than two environments. Furthermore, 64 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found to be significantly associated with the eight ear and grain morphological traits (-log10(P) > 4) in an association panel of 240 maize inbred lines. Combining the two mapping populations, a total of 17 pleiotropic QTL/SNPs (pQTL/SNPs) were associated with various traits across multiple environments. PKS2, a stable locus influencing kernel shape identified on chromosome 2 in a genome-wide association study (GWAS), was within the QTL confidence interval defined by the RILs. The candidate region harbored a short 13-Kb LD block encompassing four SNPs (SYN11386, PHM14783.16, SYN11392, and SYN11378). In the association panel, 13 lines derived from the hybrid PI78599 possessed the same allele as Qi319 at the PHM14783.16 (GG) locus, with an average value of 0.21 for KS, significantly lower than that of the 34 lines derived from Ye478 that carried a different allele (0.25, P < 0.05). Therefore, further fine mapping of PKS2 will provide valuable information for understanding the genetic components of grain yield and improving molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS) in maize.
