<P><B>Significance</B></P><P>The plant circadian clock affects many aspects of growth and development and influences both fitness in natural settings and performance in cultivated conditions. We show that <I>GIGANTEA</I> (<I>GI</I>) underlies a major quantitative trait locus for circadian period in <I>Brassica rapa</I> by fine-mapping, analysis of heterogeneous inbred lines, and transgenic rescue of an <I>Arabidopsis gi-201</I> loss-of-function mutant. Analysis of chimeric and mutated <I>B. rapa GI</I> alleles identified the causal nucleotide polymorphism responsible for the allelic variation in circadian period, cold and salt tolerance, and red light inhibition of hypocotyl elongation. Allelic variation of <I>GI</I> and of clock genes in general offers targets for marker-assisted (molecular) breeding for enhanced stress tolerance and potentially for improved crop yield.</P><P><I>GIGANTEA</I> (<I>GI</I>) was originally identified by a late-flowering mutant in <I>Arabidopsis</I>, but subsequently has been shown to act in circadian period determination, light inhibition of hypocotyl elongation, and responses to multiple abiotic stresses, including tolerance to high salt and cold (freezing) temperature. Genetic mapping and analysis of families of heterogeneous inbred lines showed that natural variation in <I>GI</I> is responsible for a major quantitative trait locus in circadian period in <I>Brassica rapa.</I> We confirmed this conclusion by transgenic rescue of an <I>Arabidopsis gi-201</I> loss of function mutant. The two <I>B. rapa GI</I> alleles each fully rescued the delayed flowering of <I>Arabidopsis gi-201</I> but showed differential rescue of perturbations in red light inhibition of hypocotyl elongation and altered cold and salt tolerance. The <I>B. rapa</I> R500 <I>GI</I> allele, which failed to rescue the hypocotyl and abiotic stress phenotypes, disrupted circadian period determination in <I>Arabidopsis</I>. Analysis of chimeric <I>B. rapa GI</I> alleles identified the causal nucleotide polymorphism, which results in an amino acid substitution (S264A) between the two GI proteins. This polymorphism underlies variation in circadian period, cold and salt tolerance, and red light inhibition of hypocotyl elongation. Loss-of-function mutations of <I>B. rapa GI</I> confer delayed flowering, perturbed circadian rhythms in leaf movement, and increased freezing and increased salt tolerance, consistent with effects of similar mutations in <I>Arabidopsis</I>. Collectively, these data suggest that allelic variation of <I>GI</I>—and possibly of clock genes in general—offers an attractive target for molecular breeding for enhanced stress tolerance and potentially for improved crop yield.</P>
