摘要:

株高是影响玉米株型和种植密度的重要农艺性状,培育耐密植的矮秆/半矮秆新品种可为增产做贡献。但目前多数矮秆突变体单株产量损失较大,难以在育种中应用。因此,探究玉米株高的调控机制、挖掘株高基因的优良等位变异,从而改善玉米株型结构、提高群体光能利用率、增强群体对水肥的耐性,对提高玉米产量尤为重要。本文综述了目前挖掘到的株高数量性状位点,阐述了株高相关基因主要受植物激素、微管结合蛋白以及成花因子调节;概述了Brachytic2Br2)基因在玉米矮秆育种研究中的应用及其局限性;最后展望了矮秆有利等位基因及其分子标记和现代生物技术在矮秆种质资源创制中的重要价值。本文将为玉米株高的遗传机制解析以及矮秆玉米分子育种奠定基础。

Abstract:

Plant height is an important agronomic trait which affects maize architecture and planting density. Breeding plants with dwarf/semi-dwarf architectures could tolerate high-density planting and contribute to yield increase. However, most dwarf mutants have severely reduced yield and are difficult to be applied in breeding. Therefore, it is particularly important to explore the regulation mechanism of maize plant height and to find out the excellent allele variation in plant height genes. It can improve the plant-type of maize, increase the light use efficiency and enhance the tolerance of population to water and fertilizer. Here we reviewed the quantitative trait locus of plant height excavated so far. We also explained that the cloned genes related to plant height are mainly regulated by plant hormones, microtubule-associated proteins and flower factors. Then we summarized the application and limitations of brachytic2 gene in maize dwarf breeding research, and looked forward to the important value of dwarf favorable alleles and their molecular markers, as well as modern biotechnology in the creation of dwarf germplasm resources. These efforts will promote the research on the genetic mechanism of maize plant height, and provide reference for the molecular breeding of dwarf maize.
