Identification of stable QTLs and candidate genes involved in anaerobic germination tolerance in rice via high-density genetic mapping and RNA-Seq.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Anaerobic germination tolerance is an important trait for direct-seeded rice varieties. Understanding the genetic basis of anaerobic germination is a key for breeding direct-seeded rice varieties. RESULTS:In this study, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between YZX and 02428 exhibited obvious coleoptile phenotypic differences. Mapping analysis using a high-density bin map indicated that a total of 25 loci were detected across two cropping seasons, including 10 previously detected loci and a total of 13 stable loci. Analysis of the 13 stable loci demonstrated that the more elite alleles that were pyramided in an individual, the higher the values of these traits were in the two cropping seasons. Furthermore, some anaerobic germination-tolerant recombinant inbred lines, namely G9, G10, G16, and G151, were identified. A total of 84 differentially expressed genes were obtained from the 13 stable loci via genome-wide expression analysis of the two parents at three key periods. Among them, Os06g0110200, Os07g0638300, Os07g0638400, Os09g0532900, Os09g0531701 and Os12g0539751 constitute the best candidates associated with anaerobic germination. CONCLUSIONS:Both the anaerobic germination-tolerant recombinant inbred lines and the loci identified in this study will provide new genetic resources for improving the anaerobic germination tolerance of rice using molecular breeding strategies, as well as will broaden our understanding of the genetic control of germination tolerance under anaerobic conditions.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Heat stress is one of the major abiotic threats to rice production, next to drought and salinity stress. Incidence of heat stress at reproductive phase of the crop results in abnormal pollination leading to floret sterility, low seed set and poor grain quality. Identification of QTLs and causal genes for heat stress tolerance at flowering will facilitate breeding for improved heat tolerance in rice. In the present study, we used 272 F8 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between Nagina22, a well-known heat tolerant Aus cultivar and IR64, a heat sensitive popular Indica rice variety to map the QTLs for heat tolerance. RESULTS:To enable precise phenotyping for heat stress tolerance, we used a controlled phenotyping facility available at ICAR-Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research, Karnal, India. Based on 'days to 50% flowering' data of the RILs, we followed staggered sowing to synchronize flowering to impose heat stress at uniform stage. Using the Illumina infinium 5K SNP array for genotyping the parents and the RILs, and stress susceptibility and stress tolerance indices (SSI and STI) of percent spikelet sterility and yield per plant (g), we identified five QTLs on chromosomes 3, 5, 9 and 12. The identified QTLs explained phenotypic variation in the range of 6.27 to 21. 29%. Of these five QTLs, two high effect QTLs, one novel (qSTIPSS9.1) and one known (qSTIY5.1/qSSIY5.2), were mapped in less than 400 Kbp genomic regions, comprising of 65 and 54 genes, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The present study identified two major QTLs for heat tolerance in rice in narrow physical intervals, which can be employed for crop improvement by marker assisted selection (MAS) after development of suitable scorable markers for breeding of high yielding heat tolerant rice varieties. This is the first report of a major QTL for heat tolerance on chromosome 9 of rice. Further, a known QTL for heat tolerance on chromosome 5 was narrowed down from 23 Mb to 331 Kbp in this study.
