Progress in developing tobacco chromosome segment substitution lines and QTL mapping for agronomic and disease resistance traits

Recently, researchers from Institute of Tobacco Research, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (TRI, CAAS),made progress indeveloping tobacco chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) and QTL mapping for agronomic and disease resistance traits. The results were published as “Development of two sets of tobacco chromosome segment substitution lines and QTL mapping for agronomic and disease resistance traits” in Industrial Crops and Products .

As a permanent population, CSSLs are advantageous for both QTL fine mapping and breeding. CSSLs are genetic stocks representing the whole genome of donor genotypes in the background of usually an adapted variety, each ideal CSSL is expected to preserve the same genetic background as its recurrent parent and carry a few substituted segments from the donor parent. Compared with other genetic populations, it allows to completely remove the interference from genetic background and provides QTL visualization as a single Mendelian factor, which is beneficial to minor effects QTL dissection and epistasis analysis, although the development of CSSLs is laborious and time-consuming. In this study, we successfully developed two sets ofCSSL in tobacco, consisting of 245 and 128 unique lines, which serves as a valuable genetic resource for both basic research and molecular breeding. These CSSLs were generated using the recurrent parent K326 and donor parents OX2028 and Samsun, respectively. By performing QTL mapping across six agronomic traits and three disease resistance traits, we identified a total of 64 QTLs, including both previously reported loci and novel loci, with several being unique to our study. The identification of key QTLs, such as  qLW1–1  for leaf width and  qTMV11  for TMV resistance, underscores the potential of these CSSLs for fine mapping and gene discovery. The study also highlights the utility of CSSLs in dissecting minor-effect QTLs and understanding the genetic interactions. Furthermore, the genetic diversity captured in these CSSLs, especially in the context of different donor parents (OX2028 and Samsun), offers a promising avenue for broadening the genetic base of tobacco breeding. These lines can potentially be used to develop tobacco cultivars with improved agronomic traits and enhanced resistance to diseases, such as TMV, CMV, and bacterial wilt. Ultimately, our findings demonstrate the immense value of CSSLs in enhancing our understanding of tobacco’s complex genetic architecture and provide a strong basis for future breeding programs aimed at improving the quality and resilience of tobacco crops.
