Abstract

BackgroundIron (Fe) deficiency in plants is the result of low Fe soil availability affecting 30% of cultivated soils worldwide. To improve our understanding on Fe-efficiency this study aimed to (i) evaluate the influence of two different Fe regimes on morphological and physiological trait formation, (ii) identify polymorphisms statistically associated with morphological and physiological traits, and (iii) dissect the correlation between morphological and physiological traits using an association mapping population.ResultsThe fine-mapping analyses on quantitative trait loci (QTL) confidence intervals of the intermated B73 x Mo17 (IBM) population provided a total of 13 and 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) under limited and adequate Fe regimes, respectively, which were significantly (FDR = 0.05) associated with cytochrome P450 94A1, invertase beta-fructofuranosidase insoluble isoenzyme 6, and a low-temperature-induced 65 kDa protein. The genome-wide association (GWA) analyses under limited and adequate Fe regimes provided in total 18 and 17 significant SNPs, respectively.ConclusionsSignificantly associated SNPs on a genome-wide level under both Fe regimes for the traits leaf necrosis (NEC), root weight (RW), shoot dry weight (SDW), water (H 2O), and SPAD value of leaf 3 (SP3) were located in genes or recognition sites of transcriptional regulators, which indicates a direct impact on the phenotype. SNPs which were significantly associated on a genome-wide level under both Fe regimes with the traits NEC, RW, SDW, H 2O, and SP3 might be attractive targets for marker assisted selection as well as interesting objects for future functional analyses.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 January 2015.
All research outputs
#22,759,802
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from BMC Genomic Data
#1,008
of 1,204 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#309,565
of 361,487 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Genomic Data
#25
of 29 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,204 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 361,487 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 29 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
