ABSTRACT
KEY MESSAGE QPL_6D.1b displayed an additive effect with Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b in reducing wheat plant height and peduncle length, which confers shorter peduncle length and more kernels per spike, and had been broadly selected by Chinese modern wheat cultivars. Peduncle length (PL), as the key component of wheat plant height (PH), plays critical role in determining wheat lodging resistance and wheat pathogen resistance; then, its breeding selection and genetic basis remain largely unclear. Here the PH and PL were investigated in 406 wheat accessions in eight environments. In this study, a PL preferentially QTL QPL_6D.1 was identified in six environments by GWAS, which explained 13.6-24.2% of wheat PL variations in natural population. The allele QPL_6D.1b displayed a significantly additive effect with Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b in controlling PH and PL and could freely combined with Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b in current wheat cultivars. Haplotypic analysis demonstrates the QPL_6D.1b has been selected by Chinese modern wheat cultivar and confers shorter PL and more kernels per spike, highlighting its potentials in wheat breeding.
