Abstract:
Here, QTL mapping for thousand-kernel weight carried out within a 541 × Ot1-3 population of recombinant inbred lines using high-density DArT-based map and three methods (single-marker analysis with F parametric test, marker analysis with the Kruskal-Wallis K* nonparametric test, and the recently developed analysis named genes interaction assorting by divergent selection with χ2 test) revealed 28 QTL distributed over all seven rye chromosomes. The first two methods showed a high level of consistency in QTL detection. Each of 13 QTL revealed in the course of gene interaction assorting by divergent selection analysis coincided with those detected by the two other methods, confirming the reliability of the new approach to QTL mapping. Its unique feature of discriminating QTL classes might help in selecting positively acting QTL and alleles for marker-assisted selection. Also, interaction among seven QTL for thousand-kernel weight was analyzed using gene interaction assorting by the divergent selection method. Pairs of QTL showed a predominantly additive relationship, but epistatic and complementary types of two-loci interactions were also revealed.

The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...
