ABSTRACT
Drought is one of the major environmental constraints for wheat production world-wide. As the progenitor and genetic reservoir of common wheat, emmer wheat is considered as an invaluable gene pool for breeding drought-tolerant wheat. Combining GWAS and eGWAS analysis of 107 accessions, we identified 86 QTLs, 105 462 eQTLs as well as 68 eQTL hotspots associating with drought tolerance (DT) in emmer wheat. A complex regulatory network composed of 185 upstream regulator and 2432 downstream drought-responsive candidates was developed, of which TtOTS1 was found to play a negative effect in determining DT through affecting root development. This study sheds light on revealing the genetic basis underlying DT, which will provide the indispensable genes and germplasm resources for elite drought tolerance wheat improvement and breeding.
