Understanding uptake and redistribution of essential minerals or sequestering of toxic elements is important for optimized crop production. Although the mechanisms controlling mineral transport have been elucidated in rice and other species, little is understood in sorghum—an important C4cereal crop. Here, we assessed the genetic factors that govern grain ionome profiles in sorghum using recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between BTx623 and NOG (Takakibi). Pairwise correlation and clustering analysis of 22 elements, measured in sorghum grains harvested under greenhouse conditions, indicated that the parental lines, as well as the RILs, show different ionomes. In particular, BTx623 accumulated significantly higher levels of cadmium (Cd) than NOG, because of differential root-to-shoot translocation factors between the two lines. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis revealed a prominent QTL for grain Cd concentration on chromosome 2. Detailed analysis identifiedSbHMA3a, encoding a P1B-type ATPase heavy metal transporter, as responsible for low Cd accumulation in grains; the NOG allele encoded a functional HMA3 transporter (SbHMA3a-NOG) whose Cd-transporting activity was confirmed by heterologous expression in yeast. BTx623 possessed a truncated, loss-of-functionSbHMA3aallele. The functionality of SbHMA3a in NOG was confirmed by Cd concentrations of F2grains derived from the reciprocal cross, in which the NOG allele behaved in a dominant manner. We concluded that SbHMA3a-NOG is a Cd transporter that sequesters excess Cd in root tissues, as shown in other HMA3s. Our findings will facilitate the isolation of breeding cultivars with low Cd in grains or in exploiting high-Cd cultivars for phytoremediation.
