Abstract
Phytotoxicity is caused by the interaction between plants and a chemical substance, which can cause critical damage to plants. Understanding the molecular mechanism underlying plant-chemical interactions is important for managing pests in crop fields and avoiding plant phytotoxicity by insecticides. The genomic region responsible for sensitivity to phytotoxicity of etofenprox (PE), controlled by a single dominant gene, was detected by constructing high density genetic map using recombination inbred lines (RILs) in soybean. The genomic region of ~ 80 kbp containing nine genes was identified on chromosome 16 using a high-throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping system using two different RIL populations. Through resequencing data of 31 genotypes, nonsynonymous SNPs were identified in Glyma.16g181900, Glyma.16g182200, and Glyma.16g182300. The genetic variation in Glyma.16g182200, encoding glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein (GPI-AP), caused a critical structure disruption on the active site of the protein. This structural variation of GPI-AP may change various properties of the ion channels which are the targets of pyrethroid insecticide including etofenprox. This is the first study that identifies the candidate gene and develops SNP markers associated with PE. This study would provide genomic information to understand the mechanism of phytotoxicity in soybean and functionally characterize the responsive gene.
