- 玉米耳的特征从teosinte进化的遗传基础仍然不完全理解.
- 识别负责塑造这些特征的基因对于理解玉米改进至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定与玉米耳的关键特征相关的定量特征位置 (QTL) 热点.
- 调查选择在塑造这些耳朵特征中的作用,从theosinte到现代玉米.
- 识别潜在的候选基因,这些基因是与耳朵相关的特征的基础.
主要方法:
- 研究了五个耳朵特征:内核行号 (KRN),耳朵长度 (EL),每行内核数 (KNR),圆直径 (CD) 和耳朵直径 (ED).
- 在两个玉米-teosinte种群中进行了QTL分析,以确定热点.
- 综合QTL数据与全基因组关联研究 (GWAS) 来自自然面板的结果.
主要成果:
- 在玉米-teosinte种群中确定了与耳朵特征相关的八个重要的QTL热点.
- 在这些热点内发现了在耳朵中表达的精选基因的丰富.
- 提议Zm00001d025111,一个WD40/YVTN蛋白质,作为每行内核数 (KNR) 的潜在正调节器.
结论:
- 八个QTL热点被确定为对玉米耳发展至关重要的选定区域.
- 这些发现为了解耳部特征进化中所选定位置的基因组分布提供了一个框架.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...

Light Acquisition
8.5K
In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.
