摘要： As the most important organ for photosynthesis, leaves provide the main energy source for plant growth. Leaf traits affect light energy utilization and, thus, plant development and biomass. Given the high morphological variability of leaves between and within grape genotypes, phenotypic analysis is challenging. This study first evaluated leaf shape trait parameters using a specific leaf profile and area analyzer, along with genome-wide association study (GWAS) analyses, to identify additional candidate genes related to grape leaf shape traits. In the two-year analysis, 89 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found to be significantly associated with leaf shape traits. These SNP loci were distributed on 18 chromosomes, of which chromosome 15 had the most relevant SNPs. We found that leaf shape-associated genes included mainly plant hormone-, ubiquitin ligase-, serine/threonine protein kinase-, transcription factor-, and cell wall metabolism-related genes. By analyzing the expression of these candidate genes on the chip, we found that they exhibited diverse expression levels in leaves at different developmental stages (young, mature, and senescent). This suggests that these genes could be considered candidates for grape leaf improvement.
