- Abstract
In the present study, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling seed storability based on relative germination rate (%) were dissected using a saturated linkage map and a recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross of japonica cultivar Asominori ( Oryza sativa L.) and indica cultivar IR24 ( Oryza sativa L.). A total of three QTLs ( qRGR-1, qRGR-3 and qRGR-9) were detected on chromosomes 1, 3 and 9 with LOD score ranging from 3.45 to 6.95 and the phenotypic variance explained from 16.72% to 28.63%. The IR24 alleles were all associated with seed storability at all the three QTLs. The existence of these QTLs was confirmed using IR24 chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) in Asominori genetic background (AIS). By QTL comparative analysis, the QTL, qRGR-9 on chromosomes 9 appeared to be consistent with another rice population, this region may provide an important region for isolating this responsible gene. These results also provide the possibilities of enhancing Seed storability in rice breeding program by marker-assisted selection (MAS) and pyramiding QTLs.
