Deciphering the Genetic Basis of Lodging Resistance in Wild Rice Oryza longistaminata.

ABSTRACT: The abuse of fertilizer results in tall rice plants that are susceptible to lodging and reduced plant yield. Hence, it is important to identify and utilize the quantitative trait loci (QTLs)/genes for lodging resistance breeding. Oryza longistaminata exhibits a strong stem and high biomass productivity, which could be a candidate gene pool for cultivars lodging resistance improvement. Here, a set of 152 BC2F20 lines derived from a cross between a cultivated line 93-11 and O. longistaminata was evaluated for lodging resistance. QTL mapping analysis combined with single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker derived from high-throughput sequencing identified 12 QTLs for stem diameter (SD), 11 QTLs for stem length (SL), and 3 QTLs for breaking strength (BS). Of which, 14 QTLs were first identified from O. longistaminata. A major QTL, qLR1, which was delimited to a region ?80 kb on chromosome 1, increased stem diameter, stem length, and breaking strength. Another major QTL, qLR8, that was delimited in an interval ?120 kb on chromosome 8, significantly enhanced the breaking strength. These results provide evidence that O. longistaminata can be exploited to develop lodging-resistant rice lines.

Project description:Lodging is one of the major abiotic stresses, affecting the total crop yield and quality. The improved lodging resistance and its component traits potentially reduce the yield losses. The section modulus (SM), bending moment at breaking (M), pushing resistance (PR), and coefficient of lodging resistance (cLr) are the key elements to estimate the lodging resistance. Understanding the genetic architecture of lodging resistance-related traits will help to improve the culm strength and overall yield potential. In this study, a natural population of 795 globally diverse genotypes was further divided into two (indica and japonica) subpopulations and was used to evaluate the lodging resistance and culm strength-related traits. Significant diversity was observed among the studied traits. We carried out the genome-wide association evaluation of four lodging resistance traits with 3.3 million deep resolution single-nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers. The general linear model (GLM) and compressed mixed linear model (MLM) were used for the whole population and two subpopulation genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and a 1000-time permutation test was performed to remove the false positives. A total of 375 nonredundant QTLs were observed for four culm strength traits on 12 chromosomes of the rice genome. Then, 33 pleiotropic loci governing more than one trait were mined. A total of 4031 annotated genes were detected within the candidate genomic region of 33 pleiotropic loci. The functional annotations and metabolic pathway enrichment analysis showed cellular localization and transmembrane transport as the top gene ontological terms. The in silico and in vitro expression analyses were conducted to validate the three candidate genes in a pleiotropic QTL on chromosome 7. It validated OsFBA2 as a candidate gene to contribute to lodging resistance in rice. The haplotype analysis for the candidate gene revealed a significant functional variation in the promoter region. Validation and introgression of alleles that are beneficial to induce culm strength may be used in rice breeding for lodging resistance.
