Abstract:

In order to analyze the genetic components of agronomic traits among 116 F9 recombinant lines derived from crosses of Ahlamitarom × Sepidroud rice cultivars, an experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design in research farm of Gonbad Kavous University of Agriculture with three replications in 2016 and 2017. Genetic linkage map provided with 80 SSR markers, 28 iPBS Markers (79 polymorphic alleles), 7 IRAP markers (17 polymorphic alleles) and 26 ISSR markers (70 polymorphic alleles), which covered 1275.4 cM of the rice genome. QTL analysis was performed by Composite Interval Mapping. In two years, 15 QTLs detected for the studied traits. The additive effected varied from 6.725 g for grain weight up to -85.626 g for grain weight. Also, R2 for the detected QTLs explained from 11.3% to 20% of the total variation. The highest R2 was related to grain weight in the first year of experiment. Among the detected QTLs, qGWs on chromosome 1, were found to be stable and large effector QTLs for rice (Oryza sativa L.) grain weight, and can be used in marker-assisted breeding and selection programs after validation.

Mapping of Novel QTL Regulating Grain Shattering Using Doubled Haploid Population in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

The critical evolutionary step during domestication of major cereals was elimination of seed shattering because the easy-to-shatter trait in wild relatives results in a severe reduction in yield. In this study, we analyzed the QTLs associated with shattering employing a high-density genetic map in doubled haploid (DH) population of rice (Oryza sativa L.). A genetic linkage map was generated wit...

QTL mapping of grain length in rice (Oryza sativa L.) using chromosome segment substitution lines.

Chromosome segment substitution (CSS) lines have the potential for use in QTL fine mapping and map-based cloning. The standard t-test used in the idealized case that each CSS line has a single segment from the donor parent is not suitable for non-idealized CSS lines carrying several substituted segments from the donor parent. In this study, we present a likelihood ratio test based on stepwise r...

Evaluation of Antioxidant Properties of Bran and Grain in 10 Genotypes of Rice (Oryza Sativa L)

This study aimed to appraise the chemical features such as total phenol (TP), total flavonoid (TF), total antioxidant capacity based on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays of bran and grain in 10 genotypes of rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown in Iran. Based on two procedures of DPPH and FRAP, the results demonstrated that in terms of the amount of...

Correlation Studies in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Seventy genotypes of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were evaluated during Kharif 2012 to study the nature and extent of correlation among yield and yield attributing characters, days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity, number of effective tillers per plant, plant height, panicle length, number of grains per panicle, 1000-grain weight, grain yield per plant, kernel length, kernel breadth and L/B...

Association mapping for yield and grain quality traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Association analysis was applied to a panel of accessions of Embrapa Rice Core Collection (ERiCC) with 86 SSR and field data from two experiments. A clear subdivision between lowland and upland accessions was apparent, thereby indicating the presence of population structure. Thirty-two accessions with admixed ancestry were identified through structure analysis, these being discarded from associ...

Influence of epistasis and QTL x environment interaction on heading date of rice (Oryza sativa L.).

QTLs for heading date of rice (Oryza sativa L.) with additive, epistatic, and QTL x environment (QE) interaction effects were studied using a mixed-model-based composite interval mapping (MCIM) method and a double haploid (DH) population derived from IR64/Azucena in two crop seasons. Fourteen QTLs conferring heading date in rice, which were distributed on ten chromosomes except for chromosomes ...
