A major pleiotropic QTL identified for yield components and nitrogen content in rice (Oryza sativa L.) under differential nitrogen field conditions.

ABSTRACT: To identify the genomic regions for yield and NUE of rice genotypes and lines with promising yield under low N, a recombinant inbred population (RIL) developed between BPT5204 (a mega variety known for its quality) and PTB1 (variety with high NUE) was evaluated for consecutive wet and dry seasons under low nitrogen (LN) and recommended nitrogen (RN) field conditions. A set of 291 RILs were characterized for 24 traits related to leaf, agro-morphological, yield, N content and nitrogen use efficiency indices. More than 50 RILs were found promising with grain yield >10 g under LN. Parental polymorphism survey with 297 SSRs and selective genotyping revealed five genomic regions associated with yield under LN, which were further saturated with polymorphic SSRs. Thirteen promising SSRs were identified out of 144 marker trait associations under LN using single marker analysis. Composite interval mapping showed 37 QTL under LN with five pleiotropic QTL. A major stable pleiotropic (RM13201-RM13209) from PTB1 spanning 825.4 kb region associated with straw N % (SNP) in both treatments across seasons and yield and yield related traits in WS appears to be promising for the MAS. Another major QTL (RM13181-RM13201) was found to be associated with only relative trait parameters of biomass, grain and grain nitrogen. These two major pleiotropic QTL (RM13201-RM13209 and RM13181-RM13201) on chromosome 2 were characterized for their positive allele effect and could be deployed for the development of rice varieties with NUE.

Project description:Shoot branching is considered as an important trait for the architecture of plants and contributes to their growth and productivity. In cereal crops, such as rice, shoot branching is controlled by many factors, including phytohormones signaling networks, operating either in synergy or antagonizing each other. In rice, shoot branching indicates the ability to produce more tillers that are essential for achieving high productivity and yield potential. In the present study, we evaluated the growth and development, and yield components of a doubled haploid population derived from a cross between 93-11 (P1, indica) and Milyang352 (P2, japonica), grown under normal nitrogen and low nitrogen cultivation open field conditions. The results of the phenotypic evaluation indicated that parental lines 93-11 (P1, a high tillering indica cultivar) and Milyang352 (P2, a low tillering japonica cultivar) showed distinctive phenotypic responses, also reflected in their derived population. In addition, the linkage mapping and quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis detected three QTLs associated with tiller number on chromosome 2 (qTNN2-1, 130 cM, logarithm of the odds (LOD) 4.14, PVE 14.5%; and qTNL2-1, 134 cM, LOD: 6.05, PVE: 20.5%) and chromosome 4 (qTN4-1, 134 cM, LOD 3.92, PVE 14.5%), with qTNL2-1 having the highest phenotypic variation explained, and the only QTL associated with tiller number under low nitrogen cultivation conditions, using Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) and Fluidigm markers. The additive effect (1.81) of qTNL2-1 indicates that the allele from 93-11 (P1) contributed to the observed phenotypic variation for tiller number under low nitrogen cultivation. The breakthrough is that the majority of the candidate genes harbored by the QTLs qTNL2-1 and qTNN4-1 (here associated with the control of shoot branching under low and normal nitrogen cultivation, respectively), were also proposed to be involved in plant stress signaling or response mechanisms, with regard to their annotations and previous reports. Therefore, put together, these results would suggest that a possible crosstalk exists between the control of plant growth and development and the stress response in rice.

Project description:Rice is an important grain that is the staple food for most of the world's population. Drought is one of the major stresses that negatively affects rice yield. The nature of drought tolerance in rice is complex as it is determined by various components and has low heritability. Therefore, to ensure success in breeding programs for drought tolerant rice, QTLs (quantitative trait loci) of interest must be stable in a variety of plant genotypes and environments. This study identified stable QTLs in rice chromosomes in a variety of backgrounds and environments and conducted a meta-QTL analysis of stable QTLs that have been reported by previous research for use in breeding programs. A total of 653 QTLs for drought tolerance in rice from 27 genetic maps were recorded for analysis. The QTLs recorded were related to 13 traits in rice that respond to drought. Through the use of BioMercartor V4.2, a consensus map containing QTLs and molecular markers were generated using 27 genetic maps that were extracted from the previous 20 studies and meta-QTL analysis was conducted on the consensus map. A total of 70 MQTLs were identified and a total of 453 QTLs were mapped into the meta-QTL areas. Five meta-QTLs from chromosome 1 (MQTL 1.5 and MQTL 1.6), chromosome 2 (MQTL2.1 and MQTL 2.2) and chromosome 3 (MQTL 3.1) were selected for functional annotation as these regions have high number of QTLs and include many traits in rice that respond to drought. A number of genes in MQTL1.5 (268 genes), MQTL1.6 (640 genes), MQTL 2.1 (319 genes), MQTL 2.2 (19 genes) and MQTL 3.1 (787 genes) were annotated through Blast2GO. Few major proteins that respond to drought stress were identified in the meta-QTL areas which are Abscisic Acid-Insensitive Protein 5 (ABI5), the G-box binding factor 4 (GBF4), protein kinase PINOID (PID), histidine kinase 2 (AHK2), protein related to autophagy 18A (ATG18A), mitochondrial transcription termination factor (MTERF), aquaporin PIP 1-2, protein detoxification 48 (DTX48) and inositol-tetrakisphosphate 1-kinase 2 (ITPK2). These proteins are regulatory proteins involved in the regulation of signal transduction and gene expression that respond to drought stress. The meta-QTLs derived from this study and the genes that have been identified can be used effectively in molecular breeding and in genetic engineering for drought resistance/tolerance in rice.

Project description:Polished rice is widely consumed staple food across the globe, however, it contains limited nutrients especially iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn). To identify promising genotypes for grain Zn, a total of 40 genotypes consisting 20 rice landraces, and 20 released high yielding rice varieties were evaluated in three environments (wet seasons 2014, 2015 and 2016) for nine traits including days to 50% flowering (DFF), plant height (PH), panicle length (PL), total number of tillers (TNT), single plant yield (SPY), Fe and Zn in brown (IBR, ZBR) and polished rice (IPR, ZPR). Additive Main Effect and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI), Genotype and Genotype × Environment Interaction (GGE) analyses identified genotypes G22 (Edavankudi Pokkali), G17 (Taraori Basmati), G27 (Chittimuthyalu) and G26 (Kalanamak) stable for ZPR and G8 (Savitri) stable for SPY across three environments. Significant negative correlation between yield and grain Zn was reaffirmed. Regression analysis indicated the contribution of traits toward ZPR and SPY and also desirable level of grain Zn in brown rice. A total of 39,137 polymorphic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were obtained through double digest restriction site associated DNA (dd-RAD) sequencing of 40 genotypes. Association analyses with nine phenotypic traits revealed 188 stable SNPs with six traits across three environments. ZPR was associated with SNPs located in three putative candidate genes (LOC_Os03g47980, LOC_Os07g47950 and LOC_Os07g48050) on chromosomes 3 and 7. The genomic region of chromosome 7 co localized with reported genomic regions (rMQTL7.1) and OsNAS3 candidate gene. SPY was found to be associated with 12 stable SNPs located in 11 putative candidate genes on chromosome 1, 6, and 12. Characterization of rice landraces and varieties in terms of stability for their grain Zn and yield identified promising donors and recipients along with genomic regions in the present study to be deployed rice Zn biofortification breeding program.
