摘要： ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) influences cereal productivity. There are few reports on the function of cytosolic AGPase small subunit in bread wheat (TaAGPS). In the present study, TaAGPS was preferentially expressed in developing endosperm during grain-filling stages in bread wheat. TaAGPS alle-lic variations were characterized in 143 wheat accessions by PacBio RS II sequencing. Two haplotypes (TaAGPS-7A-TG and TaAGPS-7A-CT) of TaAGPS-7A were identified and corresponding functional markers were developed, whereas no variants of TaAGPS-7B and TaAGPS-7D were detected. TaAGPS-7A was asso-ciated with thousand-kernel weight (TKW) by haplotype-trait association analysis in two populations. Near-isogenic lines (NILs) with TaAGPS-7A-TG showed higher TKW and total kernel starch content than those with TaAGPS-7A-CT, owing to the higher AGPase activity of TaAGPS-7A-TG than TaAGPS-7A-CT both in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of TaAGPS-7A-TG in bread wheat doubled the transcription levels of TaAGPS and increased AGPase activity by 55.7%, resulting in a 3.0-g higher TKW than in the wild type (WT). Knockdown of TaAGPS led to reduced expression of TaAGPS, AGPase activity, and TKW than in the WT. Thus, owing to the 218th amino acid change of Ser to Ala in TaAGPS-7A, the favorable haplotype TaAGPS-7A-TG showed higher AGPase activity, resulting in higher kernel starch content and grain weight. This finding could be applied to increasing starch content and grain weight in bread wheat.(c) 2022 Crop Science Society of China and Institute of Crop Science, CAAS.
