The grain weight heat susceptibility index [GWHSI= (grain weight at optimum temperature-grain weight at high temperature) / grain weight at optimum temperature × 100] was employed to evaluate the tolerance of rice to heat stress. A genetic linkage map with 245 RFLP markers and a mixed linear-model approach was used to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and their main effects, epistatic interactions and QTL× environment interactions (Q×E). The threshold of LOD score=2.0 was used to detect the significance of association between marker and trait. A total of 3 QTLs controlling heat tolerance during grain filling were detected, on chromosomes 1, 4 and 7, with LOD scores of 8.16, 11.08 and 12.86, respectively, and they explained the phenotypic variance of 8.94, 17.25 and 13.50 %, correspondingly. The QTL located in the C1100-R1783 region of chromosome 4 showed no QTL× environment interaction and epistatic effect, suggesting that it could be stably expressed in different environments and genetic backgrounds, and thus it would be valuable in rice breeding for heat tolerance improvement. This QTL allele, derived from Kasalath reduced 3.31% of the grain weight loss under heat stress. One located between R1613-C970 on chromosome 1 and the other between C1226-R1440 on chromosome 7, with additive effect 2.38 and 2.92%, respectively. The tolerance alleles of both these QTLs were derived from Nipponbare. Both of these QTLs had significant QTL× environment interactions, and the latter was involved in epistatic interaction also. Eight pairs of epistatic effect QTLs were detected, one pair each on chromosomes 1,2,3, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 12. The results could be useful for elucidating the genetic mechanism of heat-tolerance and the development of new rice varieties展开更多

In order to transfer Grh2 into Taichung65, a japonica cultivar with elite characters, backcross method with Taichung65 as the recurrent parent was used and the two RFLP markers were converted into CAPS markers for marker assisted selection (MAS). In the BC6F3 population, both phenotypic evaluation and MAS were conducted to screen the resistant plants with Taichung65 background. The linkage distance between CAPS markers and Grh2 was calculated and the efficiency of MAS was analyzed.展开更多

Seeds of two parental cultivars and each RILwere harvested in 35d after heading. The germination percentage of these seeds at 30℃for 7 days were measured as the degree of seed dormancy. QTL analysis was performed withWindows QTL Cartographer 1.13a program by composite interval mapping. A total of four QTLfor seed dormancy were detected on chromosome 2 (two regions), 5 and 11, respectively.Phenotypic variation explained by each QTL ranged from 8.37 to 17.40%. Responses of suchloci to a dormancy-breaking treatment with dry heat were further detected. The resultsshowed that two alleles of qDOR-2-1 and qDOR-5 from DV85 as well as the allele of qDOR-11 from Kinmaze increased the seed dormancy, which seemed to be easily broken by dry heattreatment. Such loci of seed dormancy may be applied to rice genetic improvement. Theallele of qDOR-2-2 from DV85 increased the seed dormancy, which could not be broken bydry heat treatment.展开更多
