Stigma exsertion can enhance the outcrossing fertility in rice. Dominant genes for this trait are expected to be essential for the effective application of a novel outcrossing-based breeding system that uses male sterility in rice, which is normally autogamous. Because reduction of stigma exsertion is a domestication trait, we screened wild rice species as possible donors of genes or QTLs for stigma exsertion. We used in silico image-based screening and selected the Oryza rufipogon accession 'W0120'. A single F 1 individual derived from a cross between the japonica rice cultivar 'Akidawara' and 'W0120' was used to generate F 2 and BC 1 F 1 populations. QTL analysis performed using 114 F 2 individuals detected QTLs on chromosomes 2, 3, 4, 8, and 11. Only two major QTLs on chromosomes 3 and 8 showed higher degrees of dominance. On the other hand, there were no QTLs near GS3, which is well known as a gene for stigma exsertion. Validation of these QTLs using 188 BC 1 F 1 individuals provided clear evidence for their dominance. Genotypes of the markers nearest to the two QTLs were also related to grain length. We expect the genes responsible for these QTLs to be promising tools for improving outcrossing-based breeding in rice.
Aromatic rice is a special type of rice that highly preferred by people in Asia due to the presence of aroma. Aroma in rice is determined by 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP) compound which is controlled by a recessive fgr gene. A hybridization between cv. Sintanur (aromatic rice) and PTB33 (non-aromatic, resistant to brown planthopper/BPH) has been done in order to develop aromatic rice lines that resistant to BPH. In the F2 progeny, molecular marker-based selection and bioassay for the brown planthopper resistant lines have been carried out; however selection for the aromatic trait has not been performed yet. The objective of this study was to obtain the F3 progeny’s individual with aromatic trait. Sensory test was conducted by KOH 1.7% solution, meanwhile molecular markers applied were ESP (External Antisense Primer), IFAP (Internal Fragrant Antisense Primer), INSP (Internal Non fragrant Sense Primer) and EAP (External Antisense Primer). Eighty-eight plants from two selected (SP#31 and SP#224) F3 lines progenies derived from cv. Sintanur and PTB33 have been evaluated in this study. Detection by molecular markers found seventy-five genotypes (85.23%) were homozygous recessive (aromatic rice) and one was heterozygous (non-aromatic). Eighty-five (96.59%) genotypes were aromatic as detected by sensory test alone. Seventy-two (81.82%) genotypes were categorized as aromatic rice based on sensory test and molecular markers. Due to inconsistency results from each method alone, it is advised both methods to be applied to ensure the reliability and the accuracy since aroma in rice is affected by genetic composition and environment conditions. Selected genotypes will be continued for breeding program in developing aromatic rice with improved agronomic traits.
Explants play an important role in thepropagation system of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni). A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used in this experiment with factorial pattern consisting of two factors, namely three types of explants (shoot tip, first node, and second node) and eleven accessions of stevia namely a1 (Bogor), a2 (Garut), a3 (Canada), a4 (Tawangmangu), a5 (STG1), a6 (SBG 4), a7 (SBG 10), a8 (SGB 2), a9 (BR5), a10 (SGR 7.5), a11 (TR 3.5). The results showed that shoot tip explant was the best explant than first node and second node for the number of shoots (18.11 shoots), number of leaves (93.49 leaves) and wet weight (3.56 grams). The best accession of shoot height was a10(SGR 7.5) (19.95 cm), the highest number of shoots wasa7(SBG 10) (21.87 shoots), the highest number of leaves wasa7(SBG 10) (138.00 leaves), the heaviest wet weight wasa7(SBG 10) (3.56 grams), the highest leaf chlorophyll content was a10 (SGR 7.5) (0.63 µg mL-1). Accessions with the fastest root initiation time at the rooting stage was a11 (TR 3.5) (4.00 DAC), the highest number of roots wasa10 (TR 3.5) (27.11 roots), the best root length wasa2(Garut) (4.51 cm). Information on the best explant types and stevia accessions in the in-vitro multiplication stage can be used as the basis for stevia breeding programs in Indonesia.AbstractEksplan berperan penting dalam sistem perbanyakan Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni). Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan pola faktorial yang terdiri dari dua faktor yaitu tiga jenis eksplan (ujung pucuk, ruas pertama, dan ruas kedua) dan sebelas aksesi stevia yaitu a1 (Bogor), a2 (Garut), a3 (Canada), a4 (Tawangmangu), a5 (STG1), a6 (SBG 4), a7 (SBG 10), a8 (SGB 2), a9 (BR5), a10 (SGR 7.5), a11 (TR 3.5). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa eksplan ujung pucuk merupakan eksplan terbaik dibandingkan buku pertama dan kedua untuk jumlah tunas (18,11 tunas), jumlah daun (93,49 daun) dan berat basah (3,56 gram). Aksesi terbaik pada tinggi pucuk adalah a10(SGR 7.5) (19,95 cm), jumlah pucuk tertinggi a7 (SBG 10) (21,87 pucuk), jumlah daun terbanyak a7 (SBG 10) (138.00 helai daun), bobot basah terberat a7 (SBG 10) (3,56 gram), kandungan klorofil daun tertinggi adalah GR 7,5 (0,63 µg mL-1). Aksesi dengan waktu inisiasi akar tercepat pada tahap perakaran adalah TR 3,5 (4,00 HST), jumlah akar terbanyak adalah TR 3,5 (27,11 akar), panjang akar terbaik adalah a2(Garut) (4,51 cm). Informasi jenis eksplan dan aksesi stevia terbaik pada tahap multiplikasi in-vitro dapat dijadikan dasar program pemuliaan stevia di Indonesia.
