Abstract Background Accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in maize (Zea mays L.) poses a significant risk to human health as it is ingested via the food chain. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in a population of 269 maize accessions with 43,737 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to identify candidate genes and favorable alleles for controlling Cd accumulation in maize. Results When grown in contaminated soil, accessions varied significantly in leaf Cd concentration at both the seeding and maturing stages with phenotypic variation and the coefficient of variation all above 48%. The co-localized region between SYN27837 (147,034,650 bp) and SYN36598 (168,551,327 bp) on chromosome 2 was associated with leaf Cd under three soil conditions varying in Cd content in 2015 and 2016. The significant SNP (SYN25051) at position 161,275,547 could explained 27.1% of the phenotype variation. Through QTL mapping using the IBMSyn10 double haploid (DH) population, we validated the existence of a major QTL identified by GWAS; qLCd2 could explain the 39.8% average phenotype variation across the experiments. Expression of GRMZM2G175576 encoding a cadmium/zinc-transporting ATPase underlying the QTL was significantly increased in roots, stems and leaves of B73, a low Cd accumulation line in response to Cd stress. Conclusions Our findings provide new insights into the genetic control of Cd accumulation and could aid rapid development of maize genotypes with low-Cd accumulation by manipulation of the favorable alleles. |
