Abstract:

Lodging is one of the important factors affecting maize production. In this study, three maize varieties with different lodging resistance [Jingnongke 728 with high lodging resistance (H), Jinnong 738 with medium lodging resistance (M) and Xianyu 335 with low lodging resistance (L)] were used for transcriptome analysis to explore the genes related to maize lodging resistance. The results showed that a total of 10093 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the three comparison groups, and the most DEGs of 7779 were identified in Xianyu 335 and Jingnongke 728 groups. GO functional enrichment analysis showed that the different lodging resistance of the three maize varieties may be related to the different number of DEGs enriched into the same GO terms. Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis showed that L-vs-H, M-vs-H were significantly enriched in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, secondary metabolite biosynthesis and flavonoid biosynthesis, while L-vs-M was significantly enriched in photosynthesis antenna protein and plant-pathogen interaction pathways. The stem microstructure showed that Xianyu 335 had the smallest single vascular bundle area and the thinnest stem epidermal cell thickness, while Jingnongke 728 had the largest single vascular bundle area and the thickest epidermal cell thickness. The results of this study further clarified the genes and metabolic pathways related to lodging resistance in maize, which laid a foundation for directional cloning, and also provided a foundation for molecular design breeding of new lodging resistant varieties.
