Mapping of S56(t) responsible for interspecific hybrid sterility between Oryza sativa and Oryza glumaepatula.

ABSTRACT: Oryza glumaepatula originates from South America continent and contains many valuable traits, such as tolerance to abiotic stress, high yield and good cooking qualities. However, hybrid sterility severely hindered the utilization of favorable genes of O. glumaepatula by interspecific hybridization. In order to further understand the nature of hybrid sterility between O. sativa and O. glumaepatula, a near isogenic line (NIL) was developed using a japonica variety Dianjingyou 1 as the recurrent parent and an accession of O. glumaepatula as the donor parent. A novel gene S56(t) for pollen sterility was mapped into the region between RM20797 and RM1093 on the short arm of chromosome 7, the physical distance between the two markers was about 469 kb. The genetic behavior of S56(t) followed one-locus allelic interaction model, the male gametes carrying the alleles of O. sativa in the heterozygotes were aborted completely. These results would help us clone S56(t) gene and understand the role of S56(t) in interspecific sterility.

Project description:The introduction of closely related species genomic fragments is an effective way to enrich genetic diversity and creates new germplasms in crops. Here, we studied the genetic diversity of an introgression line (IL) population composed of 106 ILs derived from an interspecific tetra cross between O. glaberrima and O. sativa (RAM3/Jin23B//Jin23B///YuetaiB). The proportion of O. glaberrima genome (PGG) in the ILs ranged from 0.3% to 36.7%, with an average value of 12.32% which is close to the theoretically expected proportion. A total of 250 polymorphic alleles were amplified by 21 AFLP primer combinations with an average of 12 alleles per primer. Population structure analysis revealed that the IL population can be divided into four genetically distinct subpopulations. Both principal component analysis and neighbor-joining tree analysis showed that ILs with a higher PGG displayed greater genetic diversity. Canonical discriminant analysis identified six phenotypic traits (plant height, yield per plant, filled grain percentage, panicle length, panicle number and days to flowering) as the main discriminatory traits among the ILs and between the subpopulations and showed significant phenotypic distances between subpopulations. The effects of PGG on phenotypic traits in the ILs were estimated using a linear admixed model, which showed a significant positive effect on grain yield per plant (0.286±0.117), plant height (0.418 ± 0.132), panicle length (0.663 ± 0.107), and spikelet number per panicle (0.339 ± 0.128), and a significant negative effect on filled grain percentage (-0.267 ± 0.123) and days to flowering (-0.324 ± 0.075). We found that an intermediate range (10% - 20%) of PGG was more effective for producing ILs with favorable integrated agronomic traits. Our results confirm that construction of IL population carrying O. glaberrima genomic fragments could be an effective approach to increase the genetic diversity of O. sativa genome and an appropriate level of PGG could facilitate pyramiding more favorable genes for developing more adaptive and productive rice.

Project description:Interspecific and intraspecific hybrid sterility is a typical and common phenomenon of postzygotic reproductive barrier in rice. This is an indicator of speciation involved in the formation of new species or subspecies, and it significantly hampers the utilization of favorable genes from distant parents for rice improvement. The Oryza genus includes eight species with the same AA genome and is a model plant for studying the nature of hybrid sterility and its relationship with speciation. Hybrid sterility in rice is mostly controlled by nuclear genes, with more than 50 sterility loci genetically identified to date, of which 10 hybrid sterility loci or pairs were cloned and characterized at the molecular level. Comparing the mapping results for all sterility loci reported indicated that some of these loci from different species should be allelic to each other. Further research revealed that interactions between the multiple alleles at the hybrid sterility locus caused various genetic effect. One hypothesis for this important phenomenon is that the hybrid sterility loci are orthologous loci, which existed in ancient ancestors of rice. When one or more ancestors drifted to different continents, genetic divergence occurred because of adaptation, selection, and isolation among them such that various alleles from orthologous loci emerged over evolutionary time; hence, interspecific hybrid sterility would be mainly controlled by a few orthologous loci with different alleles. This hypothesis was tested and supported by the molecular characterization of hybrid sterility loci from S1, S5, Sa, qHMS7, and S27. From this, we may further deduce that both allelic and non-allelic interactions among different loci are the major genetic basis for the interspecific hybrid sterility between O. sativa and its AA genome relatives, and the same is true for intraspecific hybrid sterility in O. sativa. Therefore, it is necessary to raise the near-isogenic lines with various alleles/haplotypes and pyramided different alleles/haplotypes from sterile loci in the same genetic background aiming to study allelic and non-allelic interaction among different hybrid sterility loci in the AA genome species. Furthermore, the pyramiding lines ought to be used as bridge parents to overcome hybrid sterility for rice breeding purposes.
