A major QTL controlling deep rooting on rice chromosome 4

چکیده
Drought is the most serious abiotic stress that hinders rice production under rainfed conditions. Breeding for deep rooting is a promising strategy to improve the root system architecture in shallow-rooting rice cultivars to avoid drought stress. We analysed the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for the ratio of deep rooting (RDR) in three F₂ mapping populations derived from crosses between each of three shallow-rooting varieties ('ARC5955', 'Pinulupot1', and 'Tupa729') and a deep-rooting variety, 'Kinandang Patong'. In total, we detected five RDR QTLs on chromosomes 2, 4, and 6. In all three populations, QTLs on chromosome 4 were found to be located at similar positions; they explained from 32.0% to 56.6% of the total RDR phenotypic variance. This suggests that one or more key genetic factors controlling the root growth angle in rice is located in this region of chromosome 4.

Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was performed to identify the chromosomal region controlling rice stripe virus (RSV) resistance in Japanese upland rice, Kanto 72. As a result, two QTLs were detected on chromosomes 2 and 11. Using near-isogenic lines possessing a single QTL (QTL-NILs) on chromosomes 2 and 11, the effects of two QTLs were evaluated. The target QTL regions were introduced ...
