Abstract: Taking thirty-seven hexaploid wheat (AABBDD) accessions with different drought resistance at seedling stage, three wheat species with A genome (AA), and three tetraploid wheat species (AABB) as test materials, and by direct sequencing the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in TaCRT-A, this paper analyzed the relationships of the SNP with the drought resistance of wheat (Triticum aestivum) at its seedling stage, and mapped the TaCRT-A on the chromosome of wheat. The full-length sequence of the TaCRT-A genomic DNA was 3887 bp. A total of 202 nucleotide variant loci were observed in the full length sequence of 167141 bp, among which, 165 SNP and 37 InDel with the frequencies of 1 SNP/1013 bp and 1 InDel/4517 bp were detected, respectively. The nucleotide diversity (π) in coding region of TaCRT-A was lower than that in non-coding region, suggesting that the selection pressure in coding region was stronger than that in noncoding region. The 43 accessions could be classified as 14 haplotypes (H1-H14) by haploid analysis, among which, H1, H2, and H13 all contained one accession which was the donor species of A genome in common wheat, H6 and H7 had one high droughtresistant accession, H8 comprised tetraploid wheat, droughtresistant accessions, and droughtsensitive accessions, whereas H11 included the wheat accessions with droughtresistance and mediumdrought resistance. Though the expression of TaCRT was induced by water stress, no significant relationship was identified between TaCRT-A polymorphism and drought resistance. Using a population of recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross of Opata 85×W7984, the TaCRT-A was mapped between SSR markers Xmwg30 and Xmwg570 on chromosome 3A, and the genetic distances were 10.5 cM and 49.6 cM from the flanking markers, respectively.
