摘要： Leaf senescence is an important agronomic trait that affects both crop yield and quality. However, few senescence-related genes in wheat have been cloned and functionally analyzed. Here, we report the characterization of the early leaf senescence mutant els3 and fine mapping of its causal gene ELS3 in wheat. Compared with wild-type Yanzhan4110 (YZ4110), the els3 mutant had a decreased chlorophyll content and a degraded chloroplast structure after the flowering stage. Further biochemical assays in flag leaves showed that the superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide contents increased, while the activities of antioxidant enzymes, including catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase, decreased gradually after the flowering stage in the els3 mutant. To clone the causal gene underlying the phenotype of leaf senescence, a genetic map was constructed using 10,133 individuals of F-2:3 populations, and ELS3 was located in a 2.52 Mb region on chromosome 2DL containing 16 putative genes. Subsequent sequence analysis and gene annotation identified only one SNP (C to T) in the first exon of TraesCS2D02G332700, resulting in an amino acid substitution (Pro329Ser), and TraesCS2D02G332700 was preliminarily considered as the candidate gene of ELS3. ELS3 encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase (LRR-RLK) protein that is localized on the cell membrane. We also found that the transient expression of mutant TraesCS2D02G332700 can induce leaf senescence in N. benthamiana. Taken together, TraesCS2D02G332700 is likely to be the candidate gene of ELS3 and may have a function in regulating leaf senescence.
