Low glutelincontent gene Lgc1 in rice has a 3.5-kb deletion between two highly similar glutelin genes GluB4 and GluB5, which locates on the short arm of chromosome 2. To improve the selection efficiency in low glutelin-content rice breeding, two molecular markers designated as InDel-Lgc1-1 and InDel-Lgc1-2 were developed to detect the low glutelin-content gene Lgc1. A double PCR detection indicated that combined use of the two markers could easily distinguish the genotypes of Lgc1 from different rice varieties. Therefore, as a simple and low-cost technique, the molecular marker could be widely used to identify different varieties with Lgc1 gene and applied in marker-assisted selection of low glutelin-content rice.展开更多

IR24 was highly susceptible to all the strains, and six common wild rice accessions resisted all the nine strains, with a resistance frequency of 67%. The accessions Yulin and Wanning were only susceptible to PXO280 and PXO71, respectively. The accession Gaozhou was susceptible to the three strains PXO79, PXO99 and PXO339, whereas resistant to the other six strains. It could be concluded that there is at least one resistance gene in each common wild rice accession. The functional markers of the genes xa5, xa13, Xa21 and Xa27 were used to detect the presence of these resistance genes in the nine tested wild rice accessions, and it was found that four wild rice accessions contained heterozygous xa13. Among the nine common wild rice accessions, five were homozygous for Xa27 and three homozygous for xa27, and the accession Laibin contained neither xa27 nor Xa27. In addition, there were no xa5 and Xa21 in all of these accessions.展开更多

A special gene S5n may overcome the hybrids sterility, which is caused by the interaction between S5 loci. Recently, S5n had been cloned, and it was revealed containing a large DNA deletion sequence that made the gene nonfunctional, compared to S5i or S5j. We designed a pair of primers flanking the deletion sequence of S5n, and then applied to distinguish the varieties with S5n or non-S5n, convincing result suggested that the primers could be served as functional molecular marker to efficiently identify the new germplasm with S5n. Using the functional marker, we surveyed 197 varieties from China National Micro-core Rice Collection, and found ten of which represented S5n including following varieties: Haobuka, Sanbangqishiluo, Mubanggu, Xiaohonggu, Mowanggu’neiza, Laozaogu, Fanhaopi, Feie’nuo2, Baoxie-7B, Teqingxuanhui. Among them, two varieties Sanbangqishiluo and Laozaogu was previously reported to contain S5n gene. Further sequence analysis on the DNA sequence covering both sides of deletion in S5n of the 10 varieties confirmed that the detected sequences in above varieties was identical with those of varieties containing S5n, such as 02428 and Linglun. These results suggested that the gene in S5 locus of the ten varieties was also nonfunctional and it proved the presence of S5n gene.展开更多

文摘Rice with low glutelin content is suitable as functional food for patients affected by kidney failure. Low glutelincontent gene Lgc1 in rice has a 3.5-kb deletion between two highly similar glutelin genes GluB4 and GluB5, which locates on the short arm of chromosome 2. To improve the selection efficiency in low glutelin-content rice breeding, two molecular markers designated as InDel-Lgc1-1 and InDel-Lgc1-2 were developed to detect the low glutelin-content gene Lgc1. A double PCR detection indicated that combined use of the two markers could easily distinguish the genotypes of Lgc1 from different rice varieties. Therefore, as a simple and low-cost technique, the molecular marker could be widely used to identify different varieties with Lgc1 gene and applied in marker-assisted selection of low glutelin-content rice.
