To employ molecular marker-aided selection for developing japonica rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars with high yielding potential and good eating quality, we carried out QTL analysis for agronomic and grain traits using 231 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) from a cross between two temperate japonica cultivars, Suweon365 and Chucheongbyeo. A linkage map with 221 loci, including 134 simple sequence repeats (SSRs), 66 amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs), and 21 miniature inverted repeat transposable elements (MITEs)-anchored markers, was constructed covering 2,227 cM of the twelve rice chromosomes, with an average distance of 11.0 cM between markers. The proportion of polymorphic bands between parents averaged 19.5%, 12.9% and 42.3% for SSRs, AFLPs and MITEs, respectively. Construction of maps without AFLP or MITE markers indicated that expansion of this map is due to the incorporation of AFLP markers, and this result is consistent with previous reports. Twenty-seven QTLs for ten traits were identified over two years, and fourteen were consistently detected in two consecutive years. When the locations of each QTL detected in this study were compared with those in previous QTLs studies, eight QTLs for culm length, spikelets per panicle and, thickness, length and shape of grain, had not been reported in previous mapping studies, indicating potentially novel alleles of japonica rice. Interestingly, a cluster of seven QTLs, including heading date and grain morphology traits, was detected on the long arm of chromosome 7. The markers linked to these QTLs would be valuable in a marker-assisted breeding program for japonica cultivars.
Jungmo1024' is a blast resistant early maturing rice cultivar with high temperature tolerance during grain filling stage. 'Jungmo1024' was derived from a sodium azide treatment on 'Suweon472', a high yielding japonica elite line which was latterly registered as 'Namil'. Comparison with the agronomical traits of 'Namil', 'Jungmo1024' was uniquely characterized as the induced gained function due to the reduced culm length, increased tiller number, strong blast resistance and especially high temperature tolerance during grain filling stage. The high temperature tolerance of 'Jungmo1024' was supported by two years experiments by comparing the head rice ratio produced in ordinary paddy field and green house condition. The heading date of 'Jungmo1024' was July 29 in central plain area, which was 9 days earlier than that of 'Hwaseong'. The milled rice yield performance of 'Jungmo1024' was about 4.98 MT/ha in local adaptability test for three years. 'Jungmo1024' had 69 cm in culm length, which was 15 cm shorter than that of 'Hwaseong', 20 cm in panicle length, 16 in tiller number, and 22.3g in 1,000 grain-weight of brown rice. 'Jungmo1024' exhibited strong rice blast resistance, but do not have any clear resistance gene sources against bacterial blight, viral diseases and insect fests. 'Jungmo1024', nevertheless, would be a useful rice cultivar could be used as a donor line for the breeding programs for developing southern plane adaptable early maturing rice cultivars with enhanced rice blast resistance, lodging tolerance, and especially high temperature tolerance during grain filling stage.
ABSTRACT'Mogwoo', a new high yield and whole crop silage rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar, was developed by the rice breeding team of the National Institute of Crop Science, RDA, Suwon, Korea, from 1999 to 2009, and was released in 2010. It was derived in 1999 from a cross between Dasanbyeo, having a high yield, and Suweon431/IR71190-45-2-1. A promising line, SR25848-C99-1-2-1, selected by the pedigree breeding method, was designated the name of 'Suweon 519' in 2007. This cultivar has about 155 days of growth period from seeding to heading, and is tolerance to lodging, with erect pubescent leaves as well as a long and thick culm. This cultivar has the same number of tillers per hill and higher spikelet numbers per panicle compared to Nokyang. 'Mogwoo' has longer leaves compared with other Tongil-type varieties. This new variety is resistant to grain shattering, leaf blast, bacterial leaf blight, and small brown planthopper. The biomass yield of 'Mogwoo' was 1,956 kg/10a in a regional test over three years. The result shows that 'Mogwoo' is adaptable to central and south-east plain areas of Korea.
Rice is not only one of major crops grown in the world but also the staple food in Asia. However, in modern agriculture, the genetic diversity in rice gene pool is diminishing by selection breeding. Hence, rice is readily threatened by biotic and abiotic stresses. Rice blast is one of the major threats to stable rice production. The best approach to prevent rice blast is development of rice cultivars harboring resistance gene against blast disease. National Institute of Crop Science (NICS) in Korea developed a mutant line, Namil(SA)-bl5, which has inherited short culm and rice blast resistance by treatment of sodium azide (SA). To localize favorable mutated allele types, two mapping populations were constructed by using F2 progenies derives crosses between Namil(SA)-bl5 and Milyang23 and Namil (wild type) and Milyang23. Each F2 progenies were evaluated in terms of culm length and resistance level against a rice blast isolate, 94-254 along with their parental lines. Association analyses between marker genotype on 68 SSR anchor markers and evaluated phenotype of progeny lines were adopted to localize the putative chromosomal locations involved to culm length and blast resistance. Association analyses localized two major loci on the chromosomes of middle-low region of 6 (R 2 =15.8%) and the distal region of 7 (R 2 =20.0%), and a major locus on the middle of chromosome 12 (R 2 =46.6%) for the reduced culm length and increased resistance level against rice blast, respectively.
