Abstract

Tibetan semi-wild wheat (Triticum aestivum ssp. tibetanum Shao) is a hexaploid wheat resource distributed only in Tibet that has an interesting type of seed dormancy in addition to hulled glumes and brittle spikelets. A whole-genome linkage map of T. aestivum ssp. tibetanum was constructed for a population of 186 recombinant inbred lines using 645 diversity array technology (DArT) markers, 127 simple sequence repeat markers and three R-1 genotyping markers. Seed dormancy was evaluated at five post-ripening stages from 2010 to 2013. Comprehensive quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping by inclusive composite interval mapping analysis identified seven QTLs for seed dormancy, designated as Qsd.sau-1B, Qsd.sau-3A, Qsd.sau-3B, Qsd.sau-3D, Qsd.sau-4A1, Qsd.sau-4A2, and Qsd.sau-7A, on chromosomes 1BL, 3AL, 3BL, 3DL, 4AS, 4AL, and 7AL, which explained 8.9, 7.2, 10.8, 7.0, 11.4, 9.4, and 12.7 % of phenotypic variation, respectively. Qsd.sau-4A1 and Qsd.sau-7A have only rarely been reported in domesticated common wheat but were prominent in T. aestivum ssp. tibetanum accession Q1028. Qsd.sau-4A1 was associated with intense, short-duration dormancy and was recognized as an ideal QTL for wheat breeding.
