Title Candidate Gene Analysis for Nitrogen Absorption and Utilization in Japonica Rice at the Seedling Stage Based on a Genome-Wide Association Study.
Abstract:
Over-application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer in fields has had a negative impact on both environment and human health. Domesticated rice varieties with high N use efficiency (NUE) reduce fertilizer requirements, enabling sustainable agriculture. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis of N absorption and utilization traits under low and high N conditions was performed to obtain 12 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) based on genotypic data including 151,202 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) developed by re-sequencing 267 japonica rice varieties. Eighteen candidate genes were obtained by integrating GWAS and transcriptome analyses; among them, the functions of <i>OsNRT2.4</i>, <i>OsAMT1.2</i>, and <i>OsAlaAT</i> genes in N transport and assimilation have been identified, and OsJAZ12 and OsJAZ13 also play important roles in rice adaptation to abiotic stresses. A NUE-related candidate gene, <i>OsNAC68</i>, was identified by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analyses. <i>OsNAC68</i> encodes a NAC transcription factor and has been shown to be a positive regulator of the drought stress response in rice. Overexpression of <i>OsNAC68</i> significantly increased rice NUE and grain yield under deficient N conditions, but the difference was not significant under sufficient N conditions. NUE and grain yield significantly decreased under both N supply conditions in the <i>osbnac68</i> mutant. This study provides crucial insights into the genetic basis of N absorption and utilization in rice, and a NUE-related gene, <i>OsNAC68</i>, was cloned to provide important resources for rice breeding with high NUE and grain yield.
