As the last stage of plant development, leaf senescence has a great impact on plant’s life cycle. Genetic manipulation of leaf senescence has been used as an efficient approach in improving the yield and quality of crop plants. Here we describe an ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis induced premature leaf senescence mutant yellow leaf 1 (yl1) in common tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). The yl1 plants displayed early leaf yellowing. Physiological parameters and marker genes expression indicated that the yl1 phenotype was caused by premature leaf senescence. Genetic analyses indicated that the yl1 phenotype was controlled by a single recessive gene that was subsequently mapped to a specific interval of tobacco linkage group 11 using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Exogenous plant hormone treatments of leaves showed that the yl1 mutant was more sensitive to ethylene and jasmonic acid than the wild type. No similar tobacco premature leaf senescence mutants have been reported. This study laid a foundation for finding the gene controlling the mutation phenotype and revealing the molecular regulation mechanism of tobacco leaf senescence in the next stage.

AbstractGenetic mapping of seed germination traits has been performed with many plant species. In tobacco, however, investigations are rare. In the present study, a bi-parental mapping population consisting of 118 doubled haploid lines and derived from a cross between ‘Beinhart-1000’ and ‘Hicks’ was investigated. Four germination-related traits, total germination (TG), normal germination (NG), time to reach 50% of total germination (T50), and the area under the curve after 200 h of germination (AUC) were considered by examining seeds either untreated or after a moderate controlled deterioration (CD). Quantitative trait loci were found for all traits distributed on 11 out of the 24 linkage groups. It was demonstrated that, as in many other species, germination-related traits are very complex and under polygenic control.
