Project description:BACKGROUND:Direct-seeding cultivation by deep-seeding of seeds (drill seeding) is becoming popular due to the scarcity of land and labor. However, poor emergence and inadequate seedling establishment can lead to yield loss in direct-seeding cultivation by deep-sowing. In rice, mesocotyl and coleoptile are primarily responsible for seedling emergence from deeper levels of soil. RESULTS:Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for mesocotyl and coleoptile length at 5-cm seeding depth were detected using 98 backcross inbred lines from a cross between Kasalath and Nipponbare. Three QTLs qMel-1, qMel-3, and qMel-6 for mesocotyl length were identified on chromosomes 1, 3, and 6, respectively, in two independent replicates. At two QTLs, qMel-1 and qMel-3, the Kasalath alleles increased mesocotyl length, whereas Nipponbare allele increased at qMel-6. The Nipponbare alleles at two QTLs (qCol-3 and qCol-5) increased the coleoptile length. Further, seeds of 54 chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) from the cross between Kasalath and Nipponbare sown at 5 cm soil depth showed a significant positive correlation between seedling emergence and mesocotyl elongation (r > 0.6, P < 0.0001), but not with coleoptile elongation (r = 0.05, P = 0.7). Seedling emergence of Nipponbare, Kasalath, and the 3 of the 54 CSSLs rapidly decreased with increasing sowing depth. Seedling emergence at seeding depths of 7 and 10 cm was faster in Kasalath and CSSL-5 that harbored the Kasalath alleles across the qMel-1 and qMel-3 regions than in the other two CSSLs that contained a single QTL and Nipponbare alleles. CSSL-5 showed the longest mesocotyl among the 3 CSSLs, but no difference in coleoptile length was observed among the 3 CSSLs at seeding depths of 7 and 10 cm. CONCLUSION:Variation of mesocotyl elongation was found to be associated with seedling emergence at the seeding depth of 5 cm. To our knowledge, this is the first study performed using CSSLs to detect QTLs for mesocotyl or coleoptile elongation and to determine the effect of mesocotyl elongation on seedling emergence in rice. Our findings provides a foundation for developing rice cultivars that show higher seedling emergence after direct seeding by introgressing QTLs for mesocotyl elongation in rice breeding.
