摘要

Lesion mimic mutants (LMMs) are ideal for dissecting plant immunity mechanisms.Here, we characterized lm10373, a stable LMM isolated from an EMS-induced libraryof wheat cultivar AK58. lm10373 developed light-dependent lesion spots on leavesfrom the late tillering stage, accompanied by programmed cell death (PCD) andreactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. Phenotypically, lm10373 showedreduced photosynthetic capacity and yield-related traits, but enhanced powdery mildewresistance at the heading stage. Genetic analysis revealed the lesion trait wascontrolled by a single semi-dominant nuclear gene, mapped to a 35 Mb interval onchromosome 3B via bulked segregant analysis coupled with exome capturesequencing (BSE-seq). Integrating exome sequencing and transcriptome data, weidentified TaWSD1-3B (encoding an O-acyltransferase of the WSD1 family) as thecausal gene. A G-to-A mutation (p.Ala79Thr) in its conserved acyltransferase domainintroduced a new phosphorylation site, disrupting triacylglycerol biosynthesis. Twoindependent mutants (lm129, p.Arg207His; lm295, 3'UTR mutation) validatedTaWSD1-3B function. Haplotype analysis of 183 wheat accessions identified threeTaWSD1-3B haplotypes: Hap1 was associated with higher 1000-grain weight andlower leaf tip necrosis (LTN) severity, making it a favorable allele for breeding. Thisstudy characterized a wheat LMM mutant and candidate gene TaWSD1-3B,suggesting a lipid-ROS-PCD pathway regulating immunity, and provides valuablemarkers for stress-tolerant, high-yield wheat breeding.
