摘要： In recent years, wheat production has faced formidable challenges driven by rapid population growth and climate change, emphasizing the importance of improving specific agronomic traits such as heading date, spike length, and grain size. To identify potential genes for improving these traits, we screened a wheat EMS mutant library and identified a mutant, designated m406, which exhibited a significantly delayed heading date compared to the wild-type. Intriguingly, the mutant also displayed significantly longer spike and larger grain size. Genetic analysis revealed that a single recessive gene was responsible for the delayed heading. Surprisingly, a large 46.58 Mb deletion at the terminal region of chromosome arm 2DS in the mutant was identified through fine mapping and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Thus, the phenotypes of the mutant m406 are controlled by a group of linked genes. This deletion encompassed 917 annotated high-confidence genes, including the previously studied wheat genes Ppd1 and TaDA1, which could affect heading date and grain size. Multiple genes in this region probably contribute to the phenotypes of m406. We further investigated the function of TaFPF1 using gene editing. TaFPF1 knockout mutants showed delayed heading and increased grain size. Moreover, we identified the direct upstream gene of TaFPF1 and investigated its relationship with other important flowering genes. Our study not only identified more genes affecting heading and grain development within this deleted region but also highlighted the potential of combining these genes for improvement of wheat traits.
