Main conclusionCharacterization of the early leaf senescence mutantels3and identification of its causal geneELS3, which encodes an LRR-RLK protein in wheat.AbstractLeaf senescence is an important agronomic trait that affects both crop yield and quality. However, few senescence-related genes in wheat have been cloned and functionally analyzed. Here, we report the characterization of the early leaf senescence mutantels3and fine mapping of its causal geneELS3in wheat. Compared with wild-type Yanzhan4110 (YZ4110), theels3mutant had a decreased chlorophyll content and a degraded chloroplast structure after the flowering stage. Further biochemical assays in flag leaves showed that the superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide contents increased, while the activities of antioxidant enzymes, including catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase, decreased gradually after the flowering stage in theels3mutant. To clone the causal gene underlying the phenotype of leaf senescence, a genetic map was constructed using 10,133 individuals of F2:3populations, andELS3was located in a 2.52 Mb region on chromosome 2DL containing 16 putative genes. Subsequent sequence analysis and gene annotation identified only one SNP (C to T) in the first exon ofTraesCS2D02G332700,resulting in an amino acid substitution (Pro329Ser), andTraesCS2D02G332700was preliminarily considered as the candidate gene ofELS3.ELS3encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase (LRR-RLK) protein that is localized on the cell membrane. We also found that the transient expression of mutantTraesCS2D02G332700can induce leaf senescence inN. benthamiana. Taken together,TraesCS2D02G332700is likely to be the candidate gene ofELS3and may have a function in regulating leaf senescence.
