    Abstract:
    Leaf trait is an important target trait in crop breeding programs. Moderate leaf curling may be a help for improving crop yield by minimizing the shadowing by leaves. Mining locus for leaf curling trait is of significance for plant genetics and breeding researches. The present study identified a novel rapeseed accession with up-curling leaf, analyzed the up-curling leaf trait inheritance, and fine mapped the locus for up-curling leaf property (Bnuc3) in Brassica napus. Genetic analysis revealed that the up-curling leaf trait is controlled by a single dominant locus, named BnUC3. We performed an association study of BnUC3 with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers using a backcross population derived from the homozygous up-curling leaf line NJAU-M1295 and the canola variety 'zhongshuang11' with typical flat leaves, and mapped the BnUC3 locus in a 1.92 Mb interval of chromosome A02 of B. napus. To further map BnUC3, 232 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers and four pairs of Insertion/Deletion (InDel) primers were developed for the mapping interval. Among them, five SSR markers and two InDel markers were polymorphic. By these markers, the mapping interval was narrowed to 92.0 kb using another F2 population. This fine mapping interval has 11 annotated genes among which BnaA02T0157000ZS were inferred to be candidate casual genes for up-curling leaf based on the cloned sequence analysis, gene functionality, and gene expression analysis. The current study laid a foundational basis for further elucidating the mechanism of BnUC3 and breeding of variety with up-curling leaf.
