摘要： Heat stress is a limiting factor in wheat production along with global warming. Development of heat-tolerant wheat varieties and generation of suitable pre-breeding materials are the major goals in current wheat breeding programs. Our understanding on the genetic basis of thermotolerance remains sparse. In this study, we genotyped a collection of 211 core spring wheat accessions and conducted field trials to evaluate the grainrelated traits under heat stress and non-stress conditions in two different locations for three consecutive years. Based on SNP datasets and grain-related traits, we performed genome-wide association study (GWAS) to detect stable loci related to thermotolerance. Thirty-three quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified, nine of them are the same loci as previous studies, and 24 are potentially novel loci. Functional candidate genes at these QTL are predicted and proved to be relevant to heat stress and grain-related traits such as TaELF3-A1 (1A) for earliness per se (Eps), TaHSFA1-B1 (5B) influencing heat tolerance and TaVIN2-A1 (6A) for grain size. Functional markers of TaELF3-A1 were detected and converted to KASP markers, with their function and genetic diversity being analyzed in the natural populations. In addition, our results unveiled favor alleles controlling agronomic traits and/or heat stress tolerance. In summary, we provide insights into heritable correlation between yield and heat stress tolerance, which will accelerate the development of new cultivars with high and stable yield of wheat in the future.
