Abstract:

To explore a novel and valuable gene for plant height in rice breeding, a residual heterozygous line (RHL) RHL1030 (F10) derived from a cross between ‘Katy’ and ‘Xiang743’, with a heterozygous interval of RM11383-RM1198 on chromosome 1 was used as the genetic material. Genetic analysis of RHL1030-derived population showed that a QTL for plant height was identified in the interval, the additive-effect QTL came from ‘Xiang743’. Two individual plants respectively with heterozygous intervals of RM3411-RM11782 and RM6703-RM1198 were selected from the RHL1030-derived population on the basis of SSR genotypes, and self-pollinated to develop two F2 populations. The QTL was validated and further delimited in the interval of RM6703-RM1198. Three individual plants with heterozygous intervals of RM6703-RM8085 and one individual plant with a heterozygous interval of RM5389-RM1198 were selected from the population derived from a RHL with a heterozygous interval of RM6703-RM1198, and self-pollinated to develop four resultant F2 populations. Forty maternal homozygotes, paternal homozygotes and heterozygotes respectively were selected from the four F2 populations to develop near isogenic lines for ANOVA analysis. The QTL was finally delimited in the interval of RM11782-RM5389, and the corresponding physical position was from 34.17 Mb to 35.73 Mb. This study identifies a novel QTL for plant height, and provides a resource for improving plant architecture in rice.
