Phenotypic Plasticity of Maize Flowering Time and Plant Height Using the Interactions Between QTNs and Meteorological Factors
Although phenotypic plasticity facilitates the understanding of trait variation, its study remains limited. To study phenotypic plasticity, in this study, 203 inbred maize lines were phenotyped for flowering time and plant height in Zhengzhou, Ningjin, Tieling, and Binxian and genotyped with 121,871 high-quality SNPs. The regression slopes and intercepts of flowering time and plant height on four meteorological factors in their corresponding, most significant correlation windows were used to estimate the phenotypic plasticity of the above traits and to further indirectly detect the interactions between quantitative trait nucleotides and meteorological factors. Of the two known and seven candidate genes identified in this study, ZmCCT, GRMZM2G035417, GRMZM2G069651, and GRMZM2G359322 can be used to explain why spring maize has a longer flowering time than summer maize, as these genes delay pollen development and flowering regulators under long day and low temperature; while ZmPIN1b, GRMZM2G062045, GRMZM2G370777, GRMZM2G077752, and GRMZM2G126397 can be used to explain why Tieling has higher plant height than other regions, as these genes enhance auxin transport and suppress dwarfing genes under increased precipitation and low temperature. This study explains the phenotypic plasticity of these traits.
