Marker-trait association analysis of functional gene markers for provitamin A levels across diverse tropical yellow maize inbred lines

Abstract: BackgroundBiofortification of staple crops is a cost effective and sustainable approach that can help combat vitamin A and other micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries. PCR -based DNA markers distinguishing alleles of three key genes of maize endosperm carotenoid biosynthesis (PSY1, lcyE and crtRB1) have been developed to facilitate maize provitamin A biofortification via marker assisted selection. Previous studies of these functional DNA markers revealed inconsistent effects. The germplasm previou… Show more

“…The best four lines among these had provitamin A concentrations that meet the breeding target level of 15 lg g -1 . Several backcrossderived lines carried combinations of favorable alleles of two genes, including lycopene epsilon cyclase (LCYE) and b-carotene hydroxylase 1 (CRTRB1) encoding key enzymes in the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway (Azmach et al 2013). The best backcrossderived lines have then been regularly crossed in pairs or with elite tropical yellow and orange endosperm maize inbred lines to generate bi-parental crosses for developing inbred lines with superior agronomic performance and much higher levels of pro-vitamin A.…”

“…При отборе генотипов с благопри-ятными аллелями полиморфных сайтов гена LcyE про-исходит перераспределение ликопина в сторону синтеза семейства β-каротиноидов, а отбор благоприятных алле-лей полиморфизмов гена СrtRB1 снижает степень кон-версии β-каротиноидов в другие метаболиты, тем самым увеличивая концентрацию β-каротина и про-А в зерне кукурузы [3,4]. Необходимо подчеркнуть важную роль гена PSY1 не только в увеличении общего содержания каротиноидов, но и в накоплении β-каротина и провита-мина А. Например, некоторые образцы кукурузы, несмо-тря на наличие благоприятных аллелей полиморфных сайтов СrtRB1, характеризуются низким содержанием β-каротина и про-А.…”

Например, некоторые образцы кукурузы, несмо-тря на наличие благоприятных аллелей полиморфных сайтов СrtRB1, характеризуются низким содержанием β-каротина и про-А. Кроме того, для данных генотипов отмечается низкое содержание общих каротиноидов [3]. Данный факт позволяет предположить, что для реали-зации потенциала благоприятных аллелей гена СrtRB1 необходимым условием является высокий уровень со-держания общих каротиноидов.…”

“…Carotenoid levels are undetectable in white maize endosperm, but significant carotenoid accumulation in white kernels was noted by overexpression of PSY1, which was strongly selected during maize domestication and improvement from white to yellow kernels (Palaisa et al 2004). Marker-aided breeding can speed the introgression of the rare favorable crtRB1 alleles, which seem to be unique to temperate germplasm, and PSY1 to tropical maize (Azmach et al 2013). Indeed, crtRB1 was introgressed in elite inbred parents, which were low β-carotene using a crtRB1-specific DNA marker for foreground selection in accelerated marker-assisted backcross breeding (Muthusamy et al 2014).…”
