Improving seedling vigour remains key objective for breeders working with direct-seeded rice (DSR). To understand the genetic control of seedling vigour in deep sown DSR, combined genome-wide association mapping, linkage mapping, fine mapping, RNA-sequencing to identify candidate genes and validation of putative candidate genes was performed. Significant phenotypic variations were observed among genotypes in both F3:4:5 and BC2F2:3 populations. The mesocotyl length showed significant positive correlation with %germination, root and shoot length. The 3.79 Mb region on chromosome 7 reported to be associated with mesocotyl elongation. RNA-seq data and RT-PCR results identified and validated seven potential candidate genes. The potential candidate gene, LOC_Os07g25150 codes for Myb-30-related transcription factor. The LOC_Os07g25150 codes for Myb 30-related transcription factor, LOC_Os07g17689 annotated as protein translation factor, LOC_Os07g17770 as tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase, LOC_Os07g15440 as alanyl-tRNA synthetase family protein, LOC_Os07g24100 as retrotransposon protein and the remaining others as expressed proteins. The antagonistic relationship between Myb-30 and ethylene-mediated signalling (EIN-3) in regulating mesocotyl elongation have been observed. The functional characterization and knocking of LOC_Os07g25150 codes for Myb 30-related transcription factor may provide better understanding of the mechanism behind mesocotyl elongation. The four promising introgression lines with longer mesocotyl length, longer root length and semi-dwarf plant height have been identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
