| dc.description.abstract | Stay-green (stg) and water use efficiency (wue) are important target traits considered for improving drought tolerance in sorghum. The zygosity of introgressed quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of stg and wue was determined in three recurrent backgrounds of NILs derived from SPV86, SPV570 and M35-1. The NILs were field evaluated to assess impact stg and wue QTLs. Significant positive correlations were observed between yield and stay-greeness of different stages in SPV 570 background indicating NILs possessing stg trait have significant yield advantage under post-anthesis drought stress condition. Three different ab initio gene prediction algorithms viz., FGENESH, GENSCAN, GENMARK indicated number of predicted genes anchored within targeted QTLs. Five genes (NSP, NAD, PHD, MADS, MLO) for stay-green QTL qSTG1A (1.82 Mbp), ten (IAA, SORBIDRAFT, CYP450, GAG/POL, PK, GENE X, UGTS, MTC, AGP16, VP25) for qSTG2 (2.54 Mbp) and one (SF CC1) for qSTG3 (2.18 Mbp) were predicted on sorghum chromosome No. 3 and 1, qCID2 (2.33 Mb) on chromosome 10. Based on the predicted features and functions of candidate genes, total of 24 predicted genes from different transcription factor families like MADS, PHD, NAD, EIF-4A and SPLICING FACTOR, CYP450, IAA were tested for their expressional analysis through quantitative real-time PCR in 15, 30 and 45DAF leaf tissue samples from introgressed line with M35-1 genomic background. Among all tested samples most of the candidate genes were found to be up regulation with fold change of 3 to 6 and 6 to 10 folds. Senescence related gene DIN1 was down regulated in M-35-1 introgressed lines. Result indicated the potential use of stg and wue QTL pyramided lines for improving sorghum performance under drought stress. | en_US |
