Abstract
Drought is a major factor that limiting mung bean development. To clarify the molecular mechanism of mung bean in response to drought stress, 2 mung bean groups were established, the experimental group (drought-treated) and the control group (normal water management). With prominent difference of 2 groups in stomatal conductance, relative water content and phenotype, leaf samples were collected at 4 stages, and the physiological index of MDA, POD, chlorophyll, and soluble proteins were estimated. RNA-seq was used to obtain high quality data of samples, and differentially expressed genes were identified by DESeq2. With GO and KEGG analysis, DEGs were enriched into different classifications and pathways. WGCNA was used to detect the relationship between physiological traits and genes, and qPCR was performed to confirm the accuracy of the data. We obtained 169.49 Gb of clean data from 24 samples, and the Q30 of each date all exceeded 94%. In total, 8963 DEGs were identified at 4 stages between the control and treated samples, and the DEGs were involved in most biological processes. 1270 TFs screened from DEGs were clustered into 158 TF families, such as AP2, RLK-Pelle-DLSVA, and NAC TF families. Genes related to physiological traits were closely related to plant hormone signaling, carotenoid biosynthesis, chlorophyll metabolism, and protein processing. This paper provides a large amount of data for drought research in mung bean.

Abstract
For mechanized maize production, a low grain water content (GWC) at harvest is necessary. However, as a complex quantitative trait, understand the genetic mechanism of GWC remains a large gap, especially in hybrids. In this study, a hybrid population through two environments including 442 F1 was used for genome-wide association analysis of GWC and the grain dehydration rate (GDR), using the area under the dry down curve (AUDDC) as the index. Then, we identified 19 and 17 associated SNPs for GWC and AUDDC, including 10 co-localized SNPs, along with 64 and 77 pairs of epistatic SNPs for GWC and AUDDC, respectively. These loci could explain 11.39-68.2% of the total phenotypic variation for GWC and 41.07-67.02% for AUDDC at different stages, whose major effect was the additive and epistatic effect. By exploring the candidate genes around the significant sites, a total of 398 and 457 possible protein-coding genes were screened, including autophagy pathway and auxin regulation-related genes, and five inbred lines with the potential to reduce GWC in the combined F1 hybrid were identified. Our research not only provides a certain reference for the genetic mechanism analysis of GWC in hybrids but also provides an added reference for breeding low-GWC materials.

Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals the Genetic Basis of Kernel and Cob Moisture Changes in Maize at Physiological Maturity Stage. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11151989. [PMID: 35956467 PMCID: PMC9370647 DOI: 10.3390/plants11151989] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Revised: 07/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Low moisture content (MC) and high dehydration rate (DR) at physiological maturity affect grain mechanical harvest, transport, and storage. In this study, we used an association panel composed of 241 maize inbred lines to analyze ear moisture changes at physiological maturity stage. A genome-wide association study revealed nine significant SNPs and 91 candidate genes. One SNP (SYN38588) was repeatedly detected for two traits, and 15 candidate genes were scanned in the linkage disequilibrium regions of this SNP. Of these, genes Zm00001d020615 and Zm00001d020623 were individually annotated as a polygalacturonase (PG) and a copper transporter 5.1 (COPT5.1), respectively. Candidate gene association analysis showed that three SNPs located in the exons of Zm00001d020615 were significantly associated with the dehydration rate, and AATTAA was determined as the superior haplotype. All these findings suggested that Zm00001d020615 was a key gene affecting moisture changes of maize at the physiological maturity stage. These results have demonstrated the genetic basis of ear moisture changes in maize and indicated a superior haplotype for cultivating maize varieties with low moisture content and high dehydration rates.
