    Abstract:
    We screened 47 significantly associated haplotype blocks for oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and erucic acid, with 17 blocks influencing multiple traits. A novel candidate of transcription factor BnHDG4 A08 influencing oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and erucic acid was identified, by a joint strategy of haplotype-based genome-wide association study, genomic resequencing, gene cloning, and co-expression network Fatty acid (FA) composition determines the quality and economic value of rapeseed oil (Brassica napus). However, the molecular network of FAs is unclear. In the current study, multi-strategies of haplotype-based genome-wide association study (GWAS), genomic resequencing, gene cloning, and co-expression network were joint to reveal novel genetic factors influencing FA accumulation in rapeseed. We identified 47 significantly associated haplotype blocks for oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and erucic acid, with 17 blocks influencing multiple traits, using a haplotype-based GWAS with phenotype data from 203 Chinese semi-winter accessions. A total of 61 rapeseed orthologs involved in acyl-lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, or photosynthesis were identified in these 17 blocks. Among these genes, BnHDG4-A08, encoding a class IV homeodomain leucine-zipper transcription factor, exhibited two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the exon and intron, with significant associations with oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and erucic acid. Gene cloning further validated two SNPs in the exon of BnHDG4-A08 in a population with 75 accessions, leading to two amino acid changes (T372A and P366L) and significant variation of oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and erucic acid. A competitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) marker based on the SNPs was successfully developed and validated. Moreover, 98 genes exhibiting direct interconnections and high weight values with BnHDG4-A08 were identified through co-expression network analysis using transcriptome data from 13 accessions. Our study identified a novel FA candidate of transcription factor BnHDG4-A08 influencing oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and erucic acid. This gene provides a potential promising gene resource for the novel mechanistic understanding of transcription factors regulating FA accumulation.
