摘要： Extrafloral nectaries are a defence trait that plays important roles in plant-animal interactions.Gossypiumspecies are characterized by cellular grooves in leaf midribs that secret large amounts of nectar. Here, with a panel of 215G. arboreumaccessions, we compared extrafloral nectaries to nectariless accessions to identify a region of Chr12 that showed strong differentiation and overlapped with signals from GWAS of nectaries. Fine mapping of an F(2)population identifiedGaNEC1, encoding a PB1 domain-containing protein, as a positive regulator of nectary formation. An InDel, encoding a five amino acid deletion, together with a nonsynonymous substitution, was predicted to cause 3D structural changes inGaNEC1protein that could confer the nectariless phenotype. mRNA-Seq analysis showed that JA-related genes are up-regulated and cell wall-related genes are down-regulated in the nectary. Silencing ofGaNEC1led to a smaller size of foliar nectary phenotype. Metabolomics analysis identified more than 400 metabolites in nectar, including expected saccharides and amino acids. The identification ofGaNEC1helps establish the network regulating nectary formation and nectar secretion, and has implications for understanding the production of secondary metabolites in nectar. Our results will deepen our understanding of plant-mutualism co-evolution and interactions, and will enable utilization of a plant defence trait in cotton breeding efforts.
