Characterization of Non-heading Mutation in Heading Chinese Cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis)
2019
Overview
Heading is a key agronomic trait of Chinese cabbage. A non-heading mutant with flat growth of heading leaves (
) was isolated from an EMS-induced mutant population of the heading Chinese cabbage inbred line A03. In
mutant plants, the heading leaves are flat similar to rosette leaves. The epidermal cells on the adaxial surface of these leaves are significantly smaller, while those on the abaxial surface are much larger than in A03 plants. The segregation of the heading phenotype in the F
and BC
population suggests that the mutant trait is controlled by a pair of recessive alleles. Phytohormone analysis at the early heading stage showed significant decreases in IAA, ABA, JA and SA, with increases in methyl IAA and
-Zeatin levels, suggesting they may coordinate leaf adaxial-abaxial polarity, development and morphology in
. RNA-sequencing analysis at the early heading stage showed a decrease in expression levels of several auxin transport (
s, and
s) and responsive genes. Transcript levels of important ABA responsive genes, including
, were up-regulated in mid-leaf sections suggesting that both auxin and ABA signaling pathways play important roles in regulating leaf heading. In addition, a significant reduction in
transcripts in
might contribute to leaf epinastic growth. The expression profiles of 19 genes with known roles in leaf polarity were significantly different in
leaves compared to wild type, suggesting that these genes might also regulate leaf heading in Chinese cabbage. In conclusion, leaf heading in Chinese cabbage is controlled through a complex network of hormone signaling and abaxial-adaxial patterning pathways. These findings increase our understanding of the molecular basis of head formation in Chinese cabbage.
