RESUMO

Rice is a high-silica (SiO2·nH2O) accumulator. Silicon (Si) is designated as a beneficial element associated with multiple positive effects on crops. However, the presence of high silica content is detrimental to rice straw management, hampering its use as animal feed and as raw material in multiple industries. Rice straw management is a serious concern in north-western India, and it is eventually burned in situ by farmers, contributing to air pollution. A practical solution could lie in reducing the silica content in rice while also attaining sound plant growth. A set of 258 Oryza nivara accessions along with 25 cultivated varieties of Oryza sativa was used to assess the variation in straw silica content using the molybdenum blue colorimetry method. A large continuous variation was observed for straw silica content in O. nivara accessions, ranging from 5.08% to 16%, while it varied from 6.18% to 15.81% in the cultivated varieties. The O. nivara accessions containing 43%-54% lower straw silica content than the currently prominent cultivated varieties in the region were identified. A set of 22,528 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among 258 O. nivara accessions was used for estimating population structure and genome-wide association studies (GWAS). A weak population structure with 59% admixtures was identified among O. nivara accessions. Further, multi-locus GWAS revealed the presence of 14 marker-trait associations (MTAs) for straw silica content, with six of them co-localizing with previously reported quantitative trait loci (QTL). Twelve out of 14 MTAs showed statistically significant allelic differences. Thorough candidate gene analyses revealed the presence of promising candidate genes, including those encoding the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, Casparian thickening, multi-drug and toxin extrusion (MATE) protein, F-box, and MYB-transcription factors. Besides, ortho-QTLs among rice and maize genomes were identified, which could open ways for further genetic analysis of this trait. The findings of the study could aid in further understanding and characterizing genes for Si transport and regulation in the plant body. The donors carrying the alleles for lower straw silica content can be used in further marker-assisted breeding programs to develop rice varieties with lower silica content and higher yield potential.

RESUMO

Rice is an important food crop for three billion people worldwide. The crop is vulnerable to several diseases. Sheath blight caused by fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani is a significant threat to rice cultivation accounting for up to 50% yield losses. The pathogen penetrates leaf blades and sheaths, leading to plant necrosis; and major disease resistance gene against the pathogen is not available. This study describes development of sheath blight resistant transgenic indica and japonica rice cultivars through introduction of antifungal ß-1,3-glucanase transgene cloned from Trichoderma. The transgene integration and expression in transformed T0 rice plants was examined by PCR, RT-PCR, qRT-PCR demonstrating up to 5-fold higher expression as compared to non-transgenic plants. The bioassay of T0, T1 and homozygous T2 progeny plants with virulent R. solani isolate revealed that plants carrying high level of ß-1,3-glucanase expression displayed moderately resistant reaction to the pathogen. The optical micrographs of leaf sheath cells from moderately resistant plant after pathogen inoculation displayed presence of a few hyphae with sparse branching; on the contrary, pathogen hyphae in susceptible non-transgenic plant cells were present in abundance with profuse hyphal branching and forming prominent infection cushions. The disease severity in T2 progeny plants was significantly less as compared to non-transgenic plants confirming role of ß-1,3-glucanase in imparting resistance.

RESUMO

Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne graminicola) is one of the emerging threats to rice production worldwide that causes substantial yield reductions. There is a progressive shift of the cropping system from traditional transplanting to direct-seeded water-saving rice production that favored the development of M. graminicola. Scouting and deploying new resistance genes is an economical approach to managing the root-knot nematodes. Here, we report that the inheritance of root-knot nematode resistance in Oryza glaberrima acc. IRGC102206 is governed by a single dominant gene. Traditional mapping coupled with BSA-seq is used to map nematode resistance gene(s) using the BC1F1 population derived from a cross of O. sativa cv. PR121 (S) and O. glaberrima acc. IRGC102206 (R). One major novel genomic region spanning a 3.0-Mb interval on chromosome 6 and two minor QTLs on chromosomes 2 and 4 are the potential genomic regions associated with rice root-knot nematode resistance. Within the QTL regions, 19 putative candidate genes contain 81 non-synonymous variants. The detected major candidate region could be fine mapped to accelerate marker-assisted breeding for root-knot nematode resistance in rice.

RESUMO

KEY MESSAGE: A novel recessive bacterial blight resistance locus designated as a xa-45(t) was identified from Oryza glaberrima accession IRGC 102600B, transferred to O. sativa and mapped to the long arm of chromosome 8 using ddRAD sequencing approach. The identified QTL spans 80 kb region on Nipponbare reference genome IRGSP-1.0 and contains 9 candidate genes. An STS marker developed from the locus LOC_Os08g42410 was found co-segregating with the trait and will be useful for marker-assisted transfer of this recessive resistance gene in breeding programs. Bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, is one of the major constraints of rice productivity in Southeast Asia. In spite of having 44 bacterial blight resistance genes from cultivated rice and wild species, the durability of resistance is always at stake due to the continually evolving nature of the pathogen and lack of suitable chemical control. Here, we report high-resolution genetic mapping of a novel bacterial blight resistance gene tentatively designated as a xa-45(t) from an introgression line derived from Oryza glaberrima accession IRGC 102600B. This introgression line was crossed with the susceptible rice indica cultivar cv. Pusa 44 to generate F2 and F2:3 populations for inheritance and mapping studies. The inheritance studies revealed the presence of single recessive locus controlling resistance to the Xanthomonas pathotype seven. A high-density linkage map was constructed using double-digest restriction-associated DNA sequencing of 96 F2 populations along with the parents. The QTL mapping identified a major locus on the long arm of rice chromosome 8 with a LOD score of 33.22 between the SNP markers C8.26737175 and C8.26818765. The peak marker, C8.26810477, explains 49.8% of the total phenotypic variance and was positioned at 202.90 cM on the linkage map. This major locus spans 80 kb region on Nipponbare reference genome IRGSP-1.0 and contains 9 candidate genes. A co-segregating STS marker was developed from the LOC_Os08g42410 for efficient transfer of this novel gene to elite cultivars.

RESUMO

Rice bran oil is good quality edible oil, rich in antioxidants and comprised typically of oleic-linoleic type fatty acids. However, presence of a highly lipolytic enzyme Phospholipase D alpha1 (OsPLDα1) increases free fatty acid content in the oil which further leads to stale flavor and rancidity of the oil, making it unfit for human consumption. In this study, we compared the upstream regions of OsPLDα1 orthologs across 34 accessions representing 5 wild Oryza species and 8 cultivars, to uncover sequence variations and identify cis-elements involved in differential transcription of orthologs. Alignment of the upstream sequences to the Nipponbare OsPLDα1 reference sequence revealed the presence of 39 SNPs. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all the selected cultivars and wild species accessions are closely related to the reference except for three accessions of O. rufipogon (IRGC89224, IRGC104425, and IRGC105902). Furthermore, using exon-specific qRT-PCR, OsPLDα1 expression patterns in immature grains indicated significant differences in transcript abundance between the wild species accessions. In comparison to the control, lowest gene expression was observed in IRGC89224 accession (0.20-fold) followed by IRGC105902 (0.26-fold) and IRGC104425 (0.41-fold) accessions. In-silico analysis of the OsPLDα1 promoter revealed that the copy number variations of CGCGBOXAT, GT1CONSENSUS, IBOXCORE, NODCON2GM, OSE2ROOTNODULE, SURECOREATSULTR11, and SORLIP1AT cis-elements play an important role in the transcriptional activities of orthologous genes. Owing to the presence of ARFAT and SEBF elements only in the IRGC89224 accession, which had the lowest gene expression as well, these putative upstream regulatory sequences have been identified as novel cis-elements which may act as repressors in regulating the OsPLDα1 gene expression. The accessions identified with low OsPLDα1 expressions could be further deployed as potential donors of ideal OsPLDα1 allele for transfer of the desired trait into elite rice cultivars.
