Genetic relationships between resistance to stalk-tunneling by the European corn borer and cell-wall components in maize population B73×B52

Andrea J. Cardinal; Michael Lee

The objective of this study was to assess the relationships among quantitative trait loci (QTL) detected for European corn borer (ECB) tunneling and cell-wall components (CWC) neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and acid detergent lignin (ADL) content in leaf-sheath and stalk tissues in a maize recombinant inbred line population derived from inbred lines B73 and B52. Most of the QTL for ECB resistance (10/13) were at QTL positions for one or more CWC. Of the 12 QTL for NDF and ADF in leaf-sheaths, five for each trait were at or near QTL for ECB tunneling. Four of these five QTL for NDF and ADF mapped to common locations. Four of the eight leaf-sheath ADL QTL were detected in the same genomic regions as ECB QTL. For stalk tissue, four regions contained common/overlapping QTL for ECB tunneling, NDF, and ADF. Six such regions were observed for stalk ADL and ECB tunneling. Seven of the ten QTL associated with both CWC and ECB tunneling contributed to the negative correlations observed between these traits, while relatively few QTL effects were positively correlated. This suggests that while CWC contribute to ECB resistance in this population, other mechanisms and other genes also are involved. Several QTL contributing to the negative correlations between ECB tunneling and CWC in the leaf-sheaths mapped to similar positions as QTL detected in tropical maize populations for resistance to leaf-feeding by Diatraea grandiosella Dyar and Diatraea saccharalis Fabricus. These regions may contain genes involved in the synthesis of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin in the leaf-blades and leaf-sheaths of maize.

The fatty acid composition of vegetable oil is becoming increasingly critical for its ultimate functionality and utilization in foods and industrial products. Partial chemical hydrogenation of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] oil increases oxidative stability and shelf life but also results in the introduction of trans fats as an unavoidable byproduct. Due to mandatory labeling of consumer products containing trans fats, conventional soybean oil has lost the ability to deliver the most appropriate economical functionality and oxidative stability, particularly for baking applications. Genetic improvement of the fatty acid profile of soybean oil is one method of meeting these new requirements for oil feedstocks. In this report, we characterized three mutant genetic loci controlling the saturated fatty acid content of soybean oil: two genes additively reduce palmitic acid content (fap1 and fap3-ug), and one gene independently elevates stearic acid content (fas). We identified a new null allele of fap3-ug/GmFATB1A (derived from line ELLP2) present in line RG3. The splicing defect mutation in a beta-ketoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase III candidate gene located in the region mapped to fap1, derived originally from ethyl methane sulphonate mutant line C1726 (Cardinal et al. in Theor Appl Genet 127:97–111, 2014), was also present in line RG3. We also utilized the elevated stearic acid line RG7, which has previously been shown to contain novel mutant fas/SACPD-C alleles encoding stearoyl-acyl carrier protein desaturase (Boersma et al. in Crop Sci 52:1736–1742, 2012). Molecular marker assays have been developed to track these causative mutations and understand their contributions to seed oil fatty acid profiles in a recombinant inbred line population segregating for fap1, fap3-ug, and fas alleles.
