AbstractWhite rust caused by oomycete pathogen Albugo candida is a significant disease of crucifer crops including Brassica juncea (mustard), a major oilseed crop of the Indian subcontinent. Earlier a resistance-conferring locus named AcB1-A5.1 was mapped in an east European gene pool line of B. juncea – Donskaja-IV. This line was tested along with some other lines of B. juncea (AABB), B. rapa (AA) and B. nigra (BB) for resistance to six isolates of A. candida collected from different mustard growing regions of India. Donskaja-IV was found to be completely resistant to all the tested isolates. Sequencing of a BAC spanning the locus AcB1-A5.1 showed the presence of a single CC-NB-LRR protein encoding R gene. The genomic sequence of the putative R gene with its native promoter and terminator was used for the genetic transformation of a susceptible Indian gene pool line Varuna and was found to confer complete resistance to all the isolates. This is the first white rust resistance-conferring gene described from Brassica species and has been named BjuWRR1. Allelic variants of the gene in B. juncea germplasm and orthologues in the Brassicaceae genomes were studied to understand the evolutionary dynamics of the BjuWRR1 gene.HighlightBjuWRR1, a CNL type R gene, was identified from an east European gene pool line of Brassica juncea and validated for conferring resistance to white rust by genetic transformation.

The exploitation of heterosis through hybrid breeding is one of the major breeding objectives for productivity increase in crop plants. This research analyzes the genetic basis of heterosis in Brassica juncea by using a doubled haploid (DH) mapping population derived from F1 between two heterotic inbred parents, one belonging to the Indian and the other belonging to the east European gene pool, and their two corresponding sets of backcross hybrids. An Illumina Infinium Brassica 90K SNP array-based genetic map was used to identify yield influencing quantitative trait loci (QTL) related to plant architecture, flowering, and silique- and seed-related traits using five different data sets from multiple trials, allowing the estimation of additive and dominance effects, as well as digenic epistatic interactions. In total, 695 additive QTL were detected for the 14 traits in the three trials using five data sets, with overdominance observed to be the predominant type of effect in determining the expression of heterotic QTL. The results indicated that the design in the present study was efficient for identifying common QTL across multiple trials and populations, which constitute a valuable resource for marker-assisted selection and further research. In addition, a total of 637 epistatic loci were identified, and it was concluded that epistasis among loci without detectable main effects plays an important role in controlling heterosis in yield of B. juncea.

Heterosis has been one of the most studied phenomena since genetic studies were conceived. Knowledge of this phenomenon for the root distribution trait in beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) can favour the development of genotypes that are more tolerant to abiotic stresses. This study aimed to verify the occurrence of heterosis for the root distribution trait in hybrid F1 populations of common bean derived from crosses within and between gene groups. Thirty-six populations (six parents and 30 hybrids) were evaluated under field conditions in the agricultural years 2016/17 and 2017/18. The root distribution was assessed with the adapted Bohm method. The genotypes responded similarly to environmental changes (absence of an interaction). However, the root distribution differed significantly between the agricultural years. Comparisons between the mean of hybrids from crosses within each gene pool and the mean of parents did not reveal heterosis. The comparisons between gene groups showed significant differences only between BRS Embaixador x IPR Uirapuru, CBS 14 x IPR Uirapuru, and BAF 53 x IPR Uirapuru and the mean of parents. The absence of heterosis in the root trait can be explained by the degree of kinship between the gene groups, as well as some epistatic interactions.

Abstract Background: Dynamic regulations of QTLs still remain mysterious. Single segment substitution lines and conditional QTL mapping, functional QTL mappings are ideal materials and methods to explore epistatic interactions, expression patterns and functions of QTLs for complex traits.Results: Based on single segment substitution lines five QTLs on plant height in rice were identified first in this paper, and then their epistatic interactions, expression patterns and functions were systemmatically studied by tailing after each QTL. Unconditional QTL mapping showed the five QTLs were with significant effects at one or more stages, all of which increased plant height except QTL1. They interacted each other as homeostatic mechanisms to regulate plant height with negative effects before 72d after transplanting and positive since then. Conditional QTL mapping revealed the expression quantities and periods for the five QTLs and their epistases. Temporal expression pattern was verified again by selective expressions of QTLs in specific periods. QTL1 expressed negatively while QTL2 and QTL4 positively, mainly occurring in the periods from 35 to 42d and from 49 to 56d after transplanting. Epistatic expressions were dispersedly in various periods, mainly with negative effects before 35d while positive since then. Functional QTL mapping discovered the five QTLs brought the inflexion point ahead of schedule, accelerated the growth and the degradation, and changed the peak of plant height, while their interactions had the opposite effects approximately. This paper uncovered the dynamic rules of five QTLs and their interactions on plant height systematically, which will be helpful to understand the genetic mechanism for developmental traits.Conclusions: Five single segment substitution lines were tested with significant additive, dominant and epistatic effects of QTLs on plant height. Additive and dominant expressions were mainly in two periods, while epistasis dispersedly. The five QTLs and their interactions significantly regulated the developmental trajectory of plant height.
