Abstract:

In order to locate the resistance gene of rice kernel smut and establish the molecular breeding system for resistance to rice kernel smut,a RIL(recombinant inbred line)population consisting of 183 high-generation stable male sterile lines was constructed by hybridization and multi-year self-crossing using W9593S,a PTGMS(photo- and thermo-sensitive genic male sterile)line that has strong resistance to rice kernel smut,and Pei'ai 64S,a PTGMS line that has the same sterile allele of W9593S and is susceptible to rice kernel smut,as parent lines. With the RIL population as material,the QTL for resistance to rice kernel smut was mapped by composite interval mapping using 200 polymorphic SNP(single nucleotide polymorphism)molecular markers. The result showed that,5 QTLs with resistance to rice kernel smut were located on 4 chromosomes with phenotypic contribution rates ranging from 7.26% to 13.64%. Among them,qRRKS-11 and qRRKS-8 had the highest phenotypic contribution rates of 13.64% and 12.07%,respectively,and the genetic distances of qRRKS-11 and qRRKS-8 were 0.9 and 1.4 cM,respectively. The resistance to kernel smut is characterized by quantitative trait inheritance in rice,and the molecular marker-assisted breeding system of rice sterile lines resistant to kernel smut may be achieved by fine mapping and cloning of major QTL.
