Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.), an ancient crop, is a significant source of high-quality fiber that primarily caters to the textile industry worldwide. Fiber content is a crucial quantitative trait for evaluating fiber yield in hemp. Understanding the genetic mechanisms involved in hemp breeding is essential for improving yield. In this study, we developed 660 F1 plants from a cross between Jindao-15 (high fiber content fiber-use variety) and Fire No.1 (low fiber content fiber-use variety), and thirty plants each with high and low fiber content were selected from 305 monoecious plants of this population according to 5%-10% of population size for quantitative traits. The DNA from these plants was extracted to establish two bulk DNA pools and then subjected to the restriction digestion by the enzymes RsaI and HaeIII to obtain 314-364 bp digestion fragments and subjected to sequencing using specific length amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq). Finally, we successfully developed 368,404 SLAF tags, which led to the detection of 25,133 high-quality SNPs. Combing with the resequencing results of parents, the SNPs of mixed pools were then subjected to the SNP-Index correlation algorithm, which revealed four candidate regions related to fiber content traits on Chromosome 1, with a length of 8.68 Mb and containing 389 annotated genes. The annotation information and the comparison results identified 15 genes that were highly likely to modulate the fiber content of hemp. Further, qPCR validation identified six genes (LOC115705530, LOC115705875, LOC115704794, LOC115705371, LOC115705688 and LOC115707511) that were highly positively correlated with influencing the hemp fiber content. These genes were involved in the transcription regulation, auxin and water transportion, one carbon and sugar metabolism. And non-synnoumous mutation SNPs which may play vital role in influencing the fiber content were detected in LOC115705875, LOC115704794, LOC115705688 and LOC115707511. Thus, our study highlights the importance of the combined use of SLAF-Seq and Bulked Segregant analysis (BSA) to locate genes related to hemp fiber content rapidly. Hence, our study provides novel mechanistic inputs for the fast identification of genes related to important agronomic traits of hemp and other crops catering to the textile industry.
大麻(Cannabis sativa L.),一种古老的作物,是一种重要的高质量纤维来源,主要满足全球纺织业的需求。纤维含量是评估大麻纤维产量的一个重要的定量性状。了解大麻育种中涉及的遗传机制对于提高产量至关重要。在这项研究中,我们从 Jindao-15(高纤维含量纤维品种)和 Fire No.1(低纤维含量纤维品种)之间的杂交中培育了 660 株 F1 植物,并根据群体中 305 株雌雄同株植物的 5%-10%的大小,从 305 株中选择了 30 株高纤维和低纤维含量的植物,用于数量性状的研究。从这些植物中提取 DNA 建立两个混合 DNA 池,然后用限制酶 RsaI 和 HaeIII 进行酶切,得到 314-364 bp 的酶切片段,然后使用特定长度扩增片段测序(SLAF-seq)进行测序。最后,我们成功开发了 368,404 个 SLAF 标签,检测到 25,133 个高质量 SNP。结合父母的重测序结果,混合池的 SNP 随后采用 SNP-Index 相关算法,在第 1 号染色体上发现了与纤维含量性状相关的四个候选区域,长度为 8.68 Mb,包含 389 个注释基因。注释信息和比较结果确定了 15 个可能调节大麻纤维含量的基因。进一步的 qPCR 验证确定了六个与大麻纤维含量呈高度正相关的基因(LOC115705530、LOC115705875、LOC115704794、LOC115705371、LOC115705688 和 LOC115707511)。这些基因参与转录调控、生长素和水分运输、一碳和糖代谢。并且在 LOC115705875、LOC115704794、LOC115705688 和 LOC115707511 中检测到非同义突变 SNP,可能在影响纤维含量方面发挥重要作用。因此,我们的研究强调了结合使用 SLAF-Seq 和 Bulked Segregant analysis(BSA)快速定位与大麻纤维含量相关基因的重要性。因此,我们的研究为快速鉴定与大麻和其他纺织业用作物重要农艺性状相关的基因提供了新的机制输入。
