摘要: Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) of wheat greatly reduces the quality and economic value of grain, and PHS resistance is one of the most important traits in wheat breeding. Red-grained wheat varieties are generally more resistant to PHS than white-grained ones; however, some are still susceptible. The red pigment of red-grained wheat is synthesized through the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway, in which the dihydroflavonol-4-reductase gene (DFR) is one of the genes involved in anthocyanin synthesis. In this study, a set of 120 red-grained Chinese wheat cultivars and lines with distinct PHS resistance were used to characterize TaDFR genotype variations and their association with PHS resistance. Whereas no variation or functional variation of TaDFR genes was detected on chromosomes 3A and 3D, a novel TaDFR allele, designated TaDFR-Bb, was explored on chromosome 3B. Compared with TaDFR-Ba, an 8 bp insertion (CTCTAGGA) was identified in the promoter region of TaDFR-B in most of the PHS resistant red-grained wheat varieties and advanced lines. Based on this, a CAPS marker was designed and validated with a set of Chinese red-grained wheat cultivars and lines with distinct PHS resistance. In most cases, TaDFR-Bb was associated with higher PHS resistance. An association study indicated that wheat varieties with the 8 bp insertion (average seed germination index 23.6 %) were significantly more resistant (P < 0.01) to PHS than those without the insertion (average seed germination index 69.5 %). Further study on gene expression demonstrated that the insertion led to increased TaDFR-B expression in cultivars with PHS resistance. Transient expression of TaDFR-B in coleoptiles of wheat cv. Chinese Spring revealed that increasing TaDFR gene expression did not induce the synthesis of anthocyanins.
