A Bivariate Mapping Model Identifies Major Covariation QTLs for Biomass Allocation Between Leaf and Stem Growth of Catalpa bungei

Biomass allocation plays a critical role in plant morphological formation and phenotypic plasticity, which greatly impact plant adaptability and competitiveness. While empirical studies on plant biomass allocation have focused on molecular biology and ecology approaches, detailed insight into the ge...

A Bivariate Mapping Model Identifies Major Covariation QTLs for Biomass Allocation Between Leaf and Stem Growth of Catalpa bungei
description Biomass allocation plays a critical role in plant morphological formation and phenotypic plasticity, which greatly impact plant adaptability and competitiveness. While empirical studies on plant biomass allocation have focused on molecular biology and ecology approaches, detailed insight into the genetic basis of biomass allocation between leaf and stem growth is still lacking. Herein, we constructed a bivariate mapping model to identify covariation QTLs governing carbon (C) allocation between the leaves and stem as well as the covariation of traits within and between organs in a full-sib mapping population of C. bungei. A total of 123 covQTLs were detected for 23 trait pairs, including six leaf traits (leaf length, width, area, perimeter, length/width ratio and petiole length) and five stem traits (height, diameter at breast height, wood density, stemwood volume and stemwood biomass).

The key QTLs related to growth and biomass allocation, which included UVH1, CLPT2, GAD/SPL, COG1 and MTERF4, were characterised and verified via gene function annotation and expression profiling.
