A novel genotype DATTO5 developed using the five genes exhibits the fastest heading date designed in rice.

ABSTRACT: The optimization of heading date is a key aspect for maximizing grain productivity in cereal crops including rice. The combinations of genes for heading date, a quantitative trait, are a major driver in the wide adaptability of cultivated rice worldwide. Here, we identified a novel QTL, qDTH3 (quantitative trait locus for days-to-heading on chromosome 3), for early flowering time in the F₂ population derived from a cross between Hoshinoyume (HS) and Daichinohoshi (DH) among local rice populations with extremely early heading date. The DH allele at qDTH3, qDTH3^DH , headed 2.7 days earlier than the HS allele at qDTH3, qDTH3^HS . We sought to design a genotype for earlier heading date by pyramiding of five heading date genes. We designated this aggregate of the five genes as DATTO5. Plants with DATTO5 were selected from the F₂ population derived from a cross between DH and HShd5, which is a near-isogenic line carrying a loss-of-function of days to heading 8 in a genetic background of HS. Plants with DATTO5 exhibited earlier heading date but reduced fitness, including shorter culm and panicle length and fewer seeds compared with HS, as a representative local rice variety with extremely early heading date.

Project description:Heading date is an important agronomic trait in rice (Oryza sativa L.); it determines the geographical and seasonal adaptability of the crop. Single segment substitution lines (SSSLs) have become the preferred experimental materials in mapping functional genetic variations as the particular chromosome segments from donor genotypes can be evaluated for their impact on the phenotype in a recurrent recipient background. The phenotypic differences can be attributed to the control of quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Here, we evaluated a library consisting of 1,123 SSSLs in the same genetic background of an elite rice variety, Huajingxian74 (HJX74), and revealed four SSSLs, W05-1-11-2-7-6 (W05), W08-16-3-2 (W08), W12-28-58-03-19-1 (W12), and W22-9-5-2-4-9-3 (W22), which had a significantly different heading date compared to HJX74. To further genetically dissect the QTLs controlling heading date on chromosomes 3, 6, and 10, four SSSLs were used to develop 15 secondary SSSLs with the smaller substituted segments. The qHD-3 heading date QTL detected in W05 and W08 was delimited to an interval of 4.15 cM, whereas qHD-6-1 and qHD-6-2 heading date QTLs dissected from the substituted segments in W12 were mapped to the intervals of 2.25-cM and 2.55-cM, respectively. The qHD-10 QTL detected on the substituted segment in W22 was mapped to an interval of 6.85-cM. The nucleotide and amino acid sequence changes for those genes in the secondary SSSLs were also revealed. The allele variations of those genes might contribute to the heading date QTLs on chromosome 3 (DTH3, OsDof12, and EHD4), chromosome 6 (Hd3a, Hd17, and RFT1), and chromosome 10 (Ehd1 and Ehd2). These sequence variations in heading date genes would be useful resources for further studying the function of genes, and would be important for rice breeding. Overall, our results indicate that secondary SSSLs were powerful tools for genetic dissection of QTLs and identification of differentiation in the genes.
