水稻重要农艺性状一般由少数主效QTL和大量微效QTL共同控制。水稻主效QTL克隆已取得显著进展,而微效QTL由于遗传作用弱,表型鉴定易受测量误差影响,克隆进展缓慢,但微效QTL在水稻重要农艺性状调控中的作用不容忽视。本文介绍了一种水稻微效QTL精细定位和克隆的新途径。该途径包含2个阶段:1)应用剩余杂合体构建近等基因系群体进行目标QTL的精细定位;2)应用基因编辑技术创制候选基因突变体验证基因功能。应用该策略笔者所在团队在水稻第1染色体长臂精细定位了6个微效粒重和粒型QTL,并成功克隆首个微效粒重QTL。该技术可在方法上为水稻QTL克隆及新种质创制提供更多选择。

水稻;粒型;微效QTL;图位克隆

水稻是我国最主要的粮食作物之一,60%以上的人口以米饭为主食。有效穗数、每穗实粒数和千粒重是构成水稻产量的三个要素,它们都是典型的数量性状,由少数主效QTL和大量微效QTL共同控制。与有效穗数和每穗实粒数相比,千粒重不易受试验环境影响,稳定性最高,粒数次之,穗数最低。与之相对应,在克隆的产量性状QTL中,以穗数为首要目标者0个;以粒数为首要目标者2个,分别为和[1-2],另有多个抽穗期QTL表现出对粒数的多效性作用,如[3]、[4]、/[5-6]、[7]和[8]等;以粒重粒型为首要目标者21个[9-15]。

虽然粒重粒型QTL克隆数目较多,但与初定位的QTL个数相比,占比依然很低。在Gramene数据库中共收录了568个粒重和粒型QTL,分布于水稻全部染色体的各个区域,但已克隆的个数仅占收录总数的3.7%。究其原因,绝大部分QTL效应很小,易受表型鉴定误差影响,精细定位难度大;另外,等位基因之间的遗传作用差异小,遗传互补效果不明显,基因功能验证困难。但是,根据数量遗传学理论和现代分子定位结果,微效QTL在水稻重要农艺性状调控中也扮演着重要角色[16],无论是机理剖析,还是育种应用,这类QTL都不容忽视。

近10年来,笔者所在小组以控制水稻粒重和粒型的微效QTL为研究对象,将多个微效QTL界定于涵盖少数注释基因的区间内[15, 17-20]。这些座位上双亲等位基因间的遗传效应差异很小,如千粒重的加性效应最小仅为0.1 g[17],难以直接采用遗传互补的方法进行验证。幸而CRISPR/Cas9基因敲除技术的出现及不断完善[21-23],特别是在该技术成功应用于水稻基因组研究后[24],在各实验室迅速普及[11, 25-26]。得益于该技术,我们成功克隆了首个微效粒重QTL[15],初步建立了水稻微效QTL克隆的技术途径。本文主要介绍了笔者所在课题应用该途径在水稻第1染色体长臂微效粒重粒型QTL精细定位和图位克隆中取得的进展[15, 17-20],以期通过对该技术途径的介绍,在方法上为QTL图位克隆提供更多选择。

1 水稻微效QTL精细定位及克隆新途径

微效QTL由于精细定位和基因功能验证困难的原因,相比主效QTL,研究进展缓慢。在已克隆的21个粒重粒型QTL中,除外[15],其余20个均表现为主效作用。笔者所在课题通过多年探索在水稻第1染色体长臂7.1 Mb区间精细定位到6个控制粒重和粒型的微效QTL,并成功克隆(图1),建立了一种克隆微效QTL的技术途径。该途径主要包含2个阶段:1)应用剩余杂合体构建近等基因系群体进行目标QTL的精细定位;2)应用基因编辑技术创制候选基因突变体验证基因功能。在精细定位阶段中,近等基因系(near isogenic line,NIL)的构建应用了遗传资源“剩余杂合体”(residual heterozygote,RH),即仅在包含QTL区间杂合,其余背景区间均为亲本纯合型的遗传材料。在基因功能验证阶段,突变体的创制采用CRISPR/Cas9基因敲除技术。

整个精细定位技术路线如图2所示,具体流程如下所述:根据初定位结果,挑选1个杂合区间包含目标QTL的RH单株,自交构建F2群体(约300个单株),根据基因型挑选不同亲本纯合型单株各约30个,构建F2:3或NIL群体进行QTL分析,完成第一轮定位;结合定位结果在F2群体中挑选杂合区间更小且呈连续排列的剩余杂合体单株(sequential residual heterozygotes,SeqRHs),自交构建SeqRHs-F2群体,根据基因型挑选不同亲本纯合型单株构建SeqRHs-F2:3或SeqRHs-NIL群体,比较各分离群体的QTL分析结果缩小目标区间,完成第二轮定位;通过多轮定位将目标QTL作用区间精细定位至仅包含几个注释基因的区间。在此基础上,结合亲本间注释基因的序列差异、表达量差异以及基因编码产物等方面的信息,预测候选基因,再借助CRISPR/Cas9基因敲除技术创制突变体完成功能验证。下文主要介绍应用该方法在微效粒重和粒型QTL精细定位及图位克隆中取得的进展。

2 水稻第1染色体长臂微效粒重粒型QTL研究进展

2.1 qTGW1.1和qTGW1.2的分解

前期应用珍汕97(ZS97)和密阳46(MY46)衍生的重组自交系群体对产量及构成因子进行QTL分析,第1染色体长臂RZ730–RG381区间与多个粒重区间存在互作[27]。针对该区间,从ZS97/MY46的F9群体中筛选到1个目标区间为MY46纯合型的单株与ZS97回交2次,挑选1个在RM11448–RM11974区间(11.5 Mb)呈杂合的BC2F2单株开展精细定位。从该单株衍生的BC2F3群体挑选到3个SeqRHs,经自交和基因型检测构建3个SeqRHs-NIL群体。通过各分离区间的遗传作用比较,在该区间分解出2个控制千粒重的QTL,命名为和,前者位于区间RM11437–RM11615(3.6 Mb),ZS97等位基因增加粒重0.27 g;后者位于RM11615–RM11800(4.6 Mb),MY46等位基因增加粒重0.42 g[28](图1)。

2.2 qTGW1.1分解成qTGW1.1a和qTGW1.1b

针对所在3.6 Mb区间,在Guo等[28]构建的群体中筛选到1个BC2F8RH单株,从其衍生群体中筛选到4个BC2F10SeqRHs,经自交及基因型检测,构建4个BC2F11:12SeqRHs-NIL群体。经分析,从区间分解出2个控制千粒重的微效QTL,命名为和,前者位于Wn28447–RM11543(120.4 kb),控制粒重为主,ZS97等位基因增加粒重0.10 g;后者位于RM11554–RM11569(521.8 kb),通过增加粒长提高粒重,MY46等位基因增加粒长0.017 mm,增加粒重0.06 g[17](图1)。

2.3 qTGW1.2分解成qTGW1.2a、qTGW1.2b和qTGW1.2c

针对所在4.6 Mb区间,在Guo等[28]构建的BC2F2群体中筛选到1个在RM11448–RM11974(11.5 Mb)区间呈杂合的单株,通过多代自交及标记检测,构建6个BC2F10:11SeqRHs-NIL群体。经各区间遗传效应比较,从区间分解出3个微效粒重QTL,命名为、和。其中,位于区间RM11730–RM11762(933.6 kb),主要控制千粒重,MY46等位基因提高粒重0.18 g;位于区间RM11781–RM11800(418.8 kb),通过增加粒长提高粒重,MY46等位基因增加粒长0.02 mm,增加粒重0.08 g;位于区间RM11800-RM11885(2.1 Mb),通过增加粒宽提高粒重,MY46等位基因增加粒宽0.02 mm,增加粒重0.12 g[18](图1)。之后,我们又分别对这3个微效粒重QTL进行精细定位和克隆。

2.3.1的精细定位

从ZS973/MY46的BC2F9群体中挑选1个RH单株,应用由其衍生的3个BC2F12SeqRHs-NIL群体将所在区间缩小至Wn32886–Wn33252(366.1 kb)。采用相同策略,进一步构建3套世代分别为BC2F14,BC2F16和BC2F17的SeqRHs-NIL群体,将精细定位至Wn33011–Wn33089(77.5 kb),MY46等位基因增加千粒重0.26 g,该区间内包含13个注释基因[20]。

2.3.2的图位克隆

从ZS973/MY46的BC2F9群体中挑选1个杂合区间为RM212–RM11800的RH单株。应用由其衍生的4个BC2F11:12和3个BC2F13:14SeqRHs-NIL群体,将精细定位至区间Wn34323–Wn34367(44.0 kb)。该微效QTL通过增加粒长提高粒重,MY46等位基因增加粒长0.021 mm,提高粒重0.13 g。应用CRISPR/Cas9敲除技术进行候选基因功能验证,确认编码VQ-motif蛋白的为的目标基因。在NIL中,两种纯合基因型的千粒重相差0.9%~2.0%,而敲除株系与野生型对照之间的千粒重差异达2.8%~9.8%,效应平均提高约6.1倍[15]。

2.3.3 qTGW1.2c分解成qGS1-35.2和qGW1-35.5

从ZS973/MY46的BC2F9群体中挑选1个杂合区间为RM11807–RM11842的RH单株,应用由其衍生的1个BC2F11:12和5个BC2F13:14SeqRHs-NIL群体,在区间又分解出2个微效粒型QTL,其中一个位于Wn35183–RM11828(132.4 kb),ZS97等位基因增加粒长0.027 mm,长宽比增加0.017,第1个分离标记位于基因组35.2 Mb位置,且主要控制粒形,将其命名为;另一个位于Wn35518–Wn35643(125.5 kb),MY46等位基因增加粒宽0.015 mm,增加粒重0.14 g,控制粒宽为主,将其命名为。针对,进一步构建3个BC2F14:15和2个BC2F15:16SeqRHs-NIL群体,将其精细定位至Wn35183–RM11824区间,大小约57.7 kb(图2),该区间内共包含6个注释基因[19]。目前已初步完成候选基因的功能验证。

上述研究有力地证明了应用剩余杂合体策略构建SeqRHs-NIL群体能有效分解和精细定位微效QTL;同时,应用基因敲除技术可验证微效QTL的候选基因功能,并在目标基因座位创制新的等位变异;另外,该结果也为控制同一性状的QTL往往是成簇分布的理论提供新的证据。

3 结语

粒重和粒型基因的克隆对水稻高产和外观品质的改良具有重要作用。研究表明这些已克隆的粒重粒型QTL涉及植物激素、泛素-蛋白酶体通路、G-蛋白信号以及转录调控因子等多条途径,并通过控制细胞增殖和(或)扩张影响粒长、粒宽和千粒重[29-32](表1)。但是,整个调控网络还不完整,特别是各调控途径之间的相互联系,需要进一步深入研究,挖掘关键因子,不断完善。

目前,水稻基因组功能研究技术成熟。QTL精细定位后,候选基因的功能验证及分子机理研究水到渠成。因此,水稻重要农艺性状的QTL克隆很大程度取决于精细定位的准确性。QTL定位方法除传统的图位克隆外,也涌现出新的方法,如全基因组关联分析[54]和Ho-LAMap方法[37]。在已克隆的粒重和粒型QTL中,仍以图位克隆为主,在精细定位阶段大多采用回交方式构建NIL群体,回交次数最高的达到6次,群体大小至少在2000个样本以上,最多的达到20 160个样本(表1)。本文采用剩余杂合体构建SeqRHs-NIL群体策略,通过多轮定位逐步锁定目标基因(图2),它的优势在于:1)工作量降低。对于重组子,1个重组区域仅需筛选1个即可;对于分离群体,F2型群体约300个单株,NIL群体中双亲纯合型株系各不超过40个。2)容错率高。在分离群体中,相同基因型个体均包含大量样本,个别基因型和表型错误不影响QTL定位结果,有利于微效QTL的鉴定。3)连锁QTL鉴定效率高。在构建分离区间呈梯系排列的NIL群体时,易筛选到分离区间不交叠的重组单株,适宜连锁QTL的鉴定和分解。4)遗传背景一致性和QTL定位精度“自动”提高。在剩余杂合体筛选过程中,随世代推进,背景残存变异将“自动”逐步消除;剩余杂合体在加代过程中,目标分离区间自然重组,QTL作用区间精度“自动”提高。

表1 已克隆的水稻主效粒重和粒型QTL

遗传变异是水稻品种改良的基础,借助基因组编辑技术可针对目标基因进行定向改造,创建新的遗传变异,该技术在水稻品种定向改良方面显示出巨大潜力[55-58]。但从水稻产量性状QTL研究进展看,已克隆的基本为主效基因,在基因组中占比很低,严重限制了基因组编辑的育种应用。本小组建立的技术体系能准确精细定位微效QTL,并可借助CRISPR/Cas9敲除技术确定目标基因。同时,该技术途径还可在目标基因座位上创制新的等位变异,获得新的水稻种质资源[15]。希望通过对该技术途径的介绍,在方法上为水稻QTL图位克隆及新种质创制提供更多选择。

A New Approach for Fine-mapping and Map-based Cloning of Minor-Effect QTL in Rice

Important agronomic traits in rice are generally controlled by a few major-effect QTLs and a large number of minor-effect QTLs.Great progresses have been made in the cloning of major QTLs, while minor QTLs remain difficult to be cloned due to their small genetic effects and the influence of measurement error.A new approach for fine-mapping and map-based cloning of rice minor-effect QTL was introduced in this article.The approach includes two steps: 1) Use the residual heterozygote to construct near isogenic lines for fine-mapping of the target QTL; 2) Use the genome editing to create mutants of candidate genes for gene function identification.Using the strategy, we fine-mapped six minor QTLs for grain weight and grain size on the long arm of chromosome 1, and successfully cloned the first minor QTL for grain weight.We expect that this approach could provide more options for QTL cloning and new germplasm creation.
