Association mapping and genetic dissection of drought-induced canopy temperature differences in rice.

ABSTRACT: Drought-stressed plants display reduced stomatal conductance, which results in increased leaf temperature by limiting transpiration. In this study, thermal imaging was used to quantify the differences in canopy temperature under drought in a rice diversity panel consisting of 293 indica accessions. The population was grown under paddy field conditions and drought stress was imposed for 2 weeks at flowering. The canopy temperature of the accessions during stress negatively correlated with grain yield (r= -0.48) and positively with plant height (r=0.56). Temperature values were used to perform a genome-wide association (GWA) analysis using a 45K single nucleotide polynmorphism (SNP) map. A quantitative trait locus (QTL) for canopy temperature under drought was detected on chromosome 3 and fine-mapped using a high-density imputed SNP map. The candidate genes underlying the QTL point towards differences in the regulation of guard cell solute intake for stomatal opening as the possible source of temperature variation. Genetic variation for the significant markers of the QTL was present only within the tall, low-yielding landraces adapted to drought-prone environments. The absence of variation in the shorter genotypes, which showed lower leaf temperature and higher grain yield, suggests that breeding for high grain yield in rice under paddy conditions has reduced genetic variation for stomatal response under drought.

Project description:AimsThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance of 'high'-'low' yielding pyramided lines (PLs), having the same combinations of qDTYs in Samba Mahsuri, MR219 and IR64-Sub1 genetic backgrounds, and to understand the genetic interactions among QTL and/with genetic background affecting grain yield.BackgroundEpistasis regulates the expression of traits governed by several major/minor genes/QTL. Multiple pyramided lines (PLs) with the same grain yield QTL (qDTYs) combinations but possessing grain yield variability under different levels of reproductive stage drought stress were identified in different rice genetic backgrounds at International Rice Research Institute (IRRI).ObjectivesThe objectives of the present study were to evaluate the performance pyramided lines (PLs) with drought QTL in the backgrounds of Samba Mahsuri, MR219 and IR64-Sub1 under reproductive stage drought stress (RS) and NS (non-stress) conditions, to understand the effect of epistatic interactions among qDTYs and with genetic background on GY under the differential level of stress and to identify the promising drought-tolerant lines with high yield under drought and higher background recovery in different genetic backgrounds.MethodsThe experiments were conducted in 2015 DS (dry season), 2015 WS (wet season) and 2017 DS at IRRI, Los Baños, Philippines, in a transplanted lowland ecosystem under lowland severe stress (LSS), lowland moderate stress (LMS) and lowland non-stress (LNS). The experiments were laid out in alpha lattice design with two replications.ResultsSeveral digenic interactions were found in different genetic backgrounds, 13 interactions in Samba Mahsuri, 11 in MR219 and 20 in IR64-Sub1 backgrounds. Among all digenic interactions, one QTL × QTL interaction, 17 QTL × background and 26 background × background interactions resulted in GY reduction in low yielding PLs in different genetic backgrounds under LSS or LMS. Negative interaction of qDTY3.1 , qDTY4.1 and qDTY9.1 with background markers and background × background interactions caused up to 15% GY reduction compared to the high yielding PLs under LMS in the Samba Mahsuri PLs. In MR219 PLs, the negative interaction of qDTY2.2 , qDTY3.2 , qDTY4.1 and qDTY12.1 with the background marker interval RM314-RM539, RM273-RM349 and RM445-RM346, RM473D-RM16, respectively resulted 52% GY reduction compared to the high yielding PLs under LSS. In IR64-Sub1 PLs, qDTY6.1 interacted with background loci at RM16-RM135, RM228-RM333, RM202-RM287 and RM415-RM558A marker interval under LSS and at RM475-RM525 marker interval under LMS, causing GY reduction to 58% compared to the high yielding PLs.ConclusionHigh yielding PLs in Samba Mahsuri (IR 99734:1-33-69-1-22-6), MR219 (IR 99784-156-87-2-4-1) and IR64-Sub1 (IR 102784:2-89-632-2-1-2) backgrounds without any negative interactions were identified. The identified selected promising PLs may be used as potential drought-tolerant donors or may be released as varieties for drought-prone ecosystems in different countries.

Project description:Background Eating and cooking qualities (ECQs) of rice (Oryza sativa L.) determine consumer acceptance and the economic value of rice varieties. The starch physicochemical properties, i.e. amylose content, gel consistency, gelatinization temperature and pasting viscosity are important indices for evaluating rice ECQs. Genetic factors are required for development of rice varieties with excellent ECQs and association mapping is one of the promising approaches for discovering such associated genetic factors. Results A genome-wide association mapping was performed on a set of 253 non-glutinous rice accessions consisting of 83 indica and 170 japonica cultivated rice varieties through phenotyping for 11 ECQ traits in two consecutive years and genotyping with 210 polymorphic SSR and candidate-gene markers. These markers amplified 747 alleles with an average of 3.57 alleles per locus. The structure, phylogenetic relationship, and principal component analysis indicated a strong population differentiation between indica and japonica accessions and association mapping was thus undertaken within indica and japonica subpopulations. All traits showed a large phenotypic variation and highly significant phenotypic correlations were present between most of traits. A total of 33 and 30 loci were located for 11 ECQs in indica and japonica subpopulations respectively. Most of associated loci were overlapped with starch synthesis-related genes (SSRGs), and the Wx locus gathered 14 associated loci with the largest effects on amylose content, gel consistency and pasting viscosities. Eight subpopulation specific markers, RM588, Wx-(CT)n, SSI and SBE1 for indica subpopulation and RM550, Wxmp, SSIIa and SBE4 for japonica subpopulation, were identified, suggesting alleles of SSRGs showed the subspecific tendency. Nevertheless, allelic variation in SSIIa showed no tendency towards subspecies. One associated maker RM550 detected in japonica subpopulation for amylose content and pasting viscosity was verified a potential novel and stably expressed locus and could be selected for further fine mapping. Conclusion This study illustrated the potential for dissecting genetic factors of complex traits in domesticated rice subspecies and provided highly associated markers to facilitate marker-assisted selection for breeding high-quality indica or japonica rice varieties.

Project description:Rice drought resistance is a complicated quantitative feature involving a range of biological and agronomic variables, but little is known about the underlying genetics and regulatory mechanisms that regulate drought tolerance. This study used 120 recombinant inbred lines (RILs), derived from a cross between drought tolerant Lvhan 1 and susceptible Aixian 1. The RILs were subjected to drought stress at the first ear stage, and phenotypic data of 16 agronomic and physiological traits under varying conditions were investigated. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) on the drought resistance index of traits was carried out. A total of 9 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with drought-related traits were identified on chromosomes 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, which includes QTLs for plant height (PH) qPH10.1, effective panicles number (EPN) qEPN6.1, panicle length (PL) qPL9.1, thousand-grain weight (TGW) qTGW2.1, qTGW6.1, qTGW8.1, leaf length (LL) qLL7.1, leaf width (LW) qLW7.1, and leaf area (LA) qLA7.1. The fraction of phenotypic variation explained by individual QTL varied from 10.6% to 13.9%. Except for days to flowering (DTF), the mean values of all traits under normal water management conditions were considerably higher than those under drought conditions. Except for the DTF, the drought resistance index of all rice traits was less than 1, indicating that drought treatment reduced the EPN, FGPP, SSR, PH, and LA, which affected the growth and development of rice. The drought resistance index of DTF was 1.02, indicating that drought prolonged the heading time of rice and diminish the yield parameters. Along with identifying QTLs, the results also predicted ten candidate genes, which are directly or indirectly involved in various metabolic functioning related to drought stress. The identification of these genomic sites or QTLs that effectively respond to water scarcity will aid in the quest of understanding the drought tolerance mechanisms. This study will facilitate the marker-assisted rice breeding and handy in the breeding of drought-tolerant rice varieties.
