Brassica napus L. dwarfing gene: Determining candidate intervals of dwarfing genes by BSA and SNP typing

Abstract

The plant height of rapeseed is one of the important factors that affects the production of rapeseed. If the plant height of rapeseed is too high, on the one hand, it will cause rapeseed to lodge and affect the yield, on the other hand, it will also affect the mechanized harvesting of rapeseed. In this research, the high-stalked line (YY50) and the dwarfed line (DW871) are crossed to obtain an F2 rapeseed population which was used to build pools, and then we used this to mine the main dwarfing genes. In the pools composed of tall and short stalks, we obtained 192.80Mb clean reads, which can be used for BSA (bulked segregant analysis). Preliminary positioning around the candidate section identified 23 SNP markers. Then 17 polymorphic SNP markers were obtained through polymorphism screening. Further we narrowed the candidate interval, and finally determined between 15.51-16.60Mb of ChrA10. Through identifying 231 genes from the above interval, its predicted that the production of dwarf traits may be related to lignin synthesis and limited inflorescence. It provides a basis for further mapping and cloning of the dwarfing gene DW871.
