We screened 47 significantly associated haplotype blocks for oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and erucic acid, with 17 blocks influencing multiple traits. A novel candidate of transcription factor BnHDG4 A08 influencing oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and erucic acid was identified, by a joint strategy of haplotype-based genome-wide association study, genomic resequencing, gene cloning, and co-expression network Fatty acid (FA) composition determines the quality and economic value of rapeseed oil (Brassica napus). However, the molecular network of FAs is unclear. In the current study, multi-strategies of haplotype-based genome-wide association study (GWAS), genomic resequencing, gene cloning, and co-expression network were joint to reveal novel genetic factors influencing FA accumulation in rapeseed. We identified 47 significantly associated haplotype blocks for oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and erucic acid, with 17 blocks influencing multiple traits, using a haplotype-based GWAS with phenotype data from 203 Chinese semi-winter accessions. A total of 61 rapeseed orthologs involved in acyl-lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, or photosynthesis were identified in these 17 blocks. Among these genes, BnHDG4-A08, encoding a class IV homeodomain leucine-zipper transcription factor, exhibited two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the exon and intron, with significant associations with oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and erucic acid. Gene cloning further validated two SNPs in the exon of BnHDG4-A08 in a population with 75 accessions, leading to two amino acid changes (T372A and P366L) and significant variation of oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and erucic acid. A competitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) marker based on the SNPs was successfully developed and validated. Moreover, 98 genes exhibiting direct interconnections and high weight values with BnHDG4-A08 were identified through co-expression network analysis using transcriptome data from 13 accessions. Our study identified a novel FA candidate of transcription factor BnHDG4-A08 influencing oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and erucic acid. This gene provides a potential promising gene resource for the novel mechanistic understanding of transcription factors regulating FA accumulation.
我们筛选了 47 个与油酸、亚油酸、亚麻酸和芥酸显著相关的单倍型块,其中 17 个块影响多个性状。通过基于单倍型的全基因组关联研究、基因组重测序、基因克隆和共表达网络的联合策略,鉴定了一个影响油酸、亚油酸、亚麻酸和芥酸的新型转录因子 BnHDG4 A08 的候选基因。脂肪酸 (FA) 组成决定了油菜籽油的质量和经济价值(Brassica napus)。然而,FA 的分子网络尚不清楚。在本研究中,采用基于单倍型的全基因组关联研究(GWAS)、基因组重测序、基因克隆和共表达网络的多策略联合揭示了影响油菜籽 FA 积累的新型遗传因素。我们使用基于单倍型的 GWAS 结合 203 个中国半冬性品系的表型数据,鉴定了 47 个与油酸、亚油酸、亚麻酸和芥酸显著相关的单倍型块,其中 17 个块影响多个性状。在这些块中,共鉴定出 61 个参与酰基脂质代谢、碳水化合物代谢或光合作用的油菜籽直系同源物。在这些基因中,编码 IV 类同源域亮氨酸拉链转录因子的 BnHDG4-A08,在exon 和 intron 中表现出两个单核苷酸多态性(SNP),与油酸、亚油酸、亚麻酸和芥酸显著相关。基因克隆进一步验证了在 75 个品系群体中 BnHDG4-A08 的exon 中的两个 SNP,导致两个氨基酸变化(T372A 和 P366L)和油酸、亚油酸、亚麻酸和芥酸的显著变化。基于 SNP 成功开发并验证了一个竞争性等位基因特异性 PCR(KASP)标记。此外,通过使用 13 个品系的转录组数据进行共表达网络分析,鉴定了与 BnHDG4-A08 具有直接互联关系和高权重值的 98 个基因。我们的研究鉴定了一个影响油酸、亚油酸、亚麻酸和芥酸的新型 FA 转录因子候选基因 BnHDG4-A08。该基因为新型机制理解转录因子调节 FA 积累提供了一个有潜力的基因资源。
