Development of nutritious rice with high zinc/selenium and low cadmium in grains through QTL pyramiding

Enriching zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) levels, while reducing cadmium (Cd) concentration in rice grains is of great benefit for human diet and health. Large natural variations in grain Zn, Se, and Cd concentrations in different rice accessions enable Zn/Se‐biofortification and Cd‐minimization through molecular breeding. Here, we report the development of new elite varieties by pyramiding major quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that significantly contribute to high Zn/Se and low Cd accumulation in grains. A chromosome segment substitution line CSSL^GCC7 with the PA64s‐derived GCC7 allele in the 93‐11 background, exhibited steadily higher Mn and lower Cd concentrations in grains than those of 93‐11. This elite chromosome segment substitution line (CSSL) was used as the core breeding material to cross with CSSLs harboring other major QTLs for essential mineral elements, especially CSSL^GZC6 for grain Zn concentration and CSSL^GSC5 for grain Se concentration. The CSSL^GCC7+GZC6 and CSSL^GCC7+GSC5 exhibited lower Cd concentration with higher Zn and Se concentrations in grains, respectively. Our study thus provides elite materials for rice breeding targeting high Zn/Se and low Cd concentrations in grains.     

A loss‐of‐function allele of OsHMA3 associated with high cadmium accumulation in shoots and grain of Japonica rice cultivars

Excessive cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice poses a risk to food safety. OsHMA3 plays an important role in restricting Cd translocation from roots to shoots. A non‐functional allele of OsHMA3 has been reported in some Indica rice cultivars with high Cd accumulation, but it is not known if OsHMA3 allelic variation is associated with Cd accumulation in Japonica cultivars. In this study, we identified a Japonica cultivar with consistently high Cd accumulation in shoots and grain in both field and greenhouse experiments. The cultivar possesses an OsHMA3 allele with a predicted amino acid mutation at the 380^th position from Ser to Arg. The haplotype had no Cd transport activity when the gene was expressed in yeast, and the allele did not complement a known nonfunctional allele of OsHMA3 in F₁ test. The allele is present only in temperate Japonica cultivars among diversity panels of 1483 rice cultivars. Different cultivars possessing this allele showed greatly increased root‐to‐shoot Cd translocation and a shift in root Cd speciation from Cd―S to Cd―O bonding determined by synchrotron X‐ray absorption spectroscopy. Our study has identified a new loss‐of‐function allele of OsHMA3 in Japonica rice cultivars leading to high Cd accumulation in shoots and grain.     

Mutations in rice (Oryza sativa) heavy metal ATPase 2 (OsHMA2) restrict the translocation of zinc and cadmium

Widespread soil contamination with heavy metals has fostered the need for plant breeders to develop new crops that do not accumulate heavy metals. Metal-transporting transmembrane proteins that transport heavy metals across the plant plasma membrane are key targets for developing these new crops. Oryza sativa heavy metal ATPase 3 (OsHMA3) is known to be a useful gene for limiting cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice. OsHMA2 is a close homolog of OsHMA3, but the function of OsHMA2 is unknown. To gain insight into the function of OsHMA2, we analyzed three Tos17 insertion mutants. The translocation ratios of zinc (Zn) and Cd were clearly lower in all mutants than in the wild type, suggesting that OsHMA2 is a major transporter of Zn and Cd from roots to shoots. By comparing each allele in the OsHMA2 protein structure and measuring the Cd translocation ratio, we identified the C-terminal region as essential for Cd translocation into shoots. Two alleles were identified as good material for breeding rice that does not contain Cd in the grain but does contain some Zn, and that grows normally.     

Differentiation of Indica-Japonica rice revealed by insertion/deletion (InDel) fragments obtained from the comparative genomic study of DNA sequences between 93-11 (Indica) and Nipponbare (Japonica)

DNA polymorphisms from nucleotide insertion/deletions (InDels) in genomic sequences are the basis for developing InDel molecular markers.To validate the InDel primer pairs on the basis of the comparative genomic study on DNA sequences between an Indica rice 93-11 and a Japonica rice Nipponbare for identifying Indica and Japonica rice varieties and studying wild Oryza species,we studied 49 Indica,43 Japonica,and 24 wild rice accessions collected from ten Asian countries using 45 InDel primer pairs.Results indicated that of the 45 InDel primer pairs,41 can accurately identify Indica and Japonica rice varieties with a reliability of over 80%.The scatter plotting data of the principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that:(i) the InDel primer pairs can easily distinguish Indica from Japonica rice varieties,in addition to revealing their genetic differentiation;(ii) the AA-genome wild rice species showed a relatively close genetic relationship with the Indica rice varieties;and (iii)the non-AA genome wild rice species did not show evident differentiation into the Indica and Japonica types.It is concluded from the study that most of the InDel primer pairs obtained from DNA sequences of 93-11 and Nipponbare can be used for identifying lndica and Japonica rice varieties,and for studying genetic relationships of wild rice species,particularly in terms of the Indica-Japonica differentiation.     

Fine mapping a major QTL <Emphasis Type="Italic">qFCC7</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis></Subscript> for chlorophyll content in rice (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Oryza sativa</Emphasis> L.) cv. PA64s

Chlorophyll (Chl) content is an important agronomic trait directly affecting the photosynthetic rate. Using a high-density genetic map of 132 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the cross between 93-11 and PA64s, we detected the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for Chl content of the top three leaves under two nitrogen (N) conditions at two developmental stages. A total of 32 main-effect QTLs located on chromosomes 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 12 were identified, and these QTLs individually accounted for 6.0–20.8?% of the total phenotypic variation. A major QTL qFCC7 _L affecting the Chl content under low N condition was identified, and its positive allele came from PA64s. This QTL might be associated with the ability to tolerate low-N stress in rice. The chromosomal segment substitution line (CSSL) with the corresponding segment from PA64s had a higher SPAD value and photosynthetic rate than 93-11 and showed a lower specific leaf area (SLA). We performed a fine-mapping using a BC₄F₂ population via marker-assisted backcross and finally mapped this QTL to a 124.5 kb interval on the long arm of chromosome 7. Candidate gene analysis showed that there were sequence variations and expression differences in the predicted candidate gene between the two parents. These results suggest that the QTL qFCC7 _L may be useful for breeding the rice varieties with higher photosynthetic rate and grain yield.

Fine mapping and candidate gene analysis of a major QTL for panicle structure in rice

Key message

A gene not only control tiller and plant height, but also regulate panicle structure by QTL dissection in rice.

Abstract

An ideal panicle structure is important for improvement of plant architecture and rice yield. In this study, using recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of PA64s and 93-11, we identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL), designated qPPB3 for primary panicle branch number. With a BC₃F₂ population derived from a backcross between a resequenced RIL carrying PA64s allele and 93-11, qPPB3 was fine mapped to a 34.6-kb genomic region. Gene prediction analysis identified four putative genes, among which Os03g0203200, a previously reported gene for plant height and tiller number, Dwarf 88 (D88)/Dwarf 14 (D14), had three nucleotide substitutions in 93-11 compared with PA64s. The T to G substitution resulted in one amino acid change from valine in 93-11 to glycine in PA64s. Real-time PCR analysis showed expression level of D88 was higher in 93-11 than PA64s. The expression of APO1 and IPA1 increased, while GN1a and DST decreased in 93-11 compared with PA64s. Therefore, D88/D14 is not only a key regulator for branching, but also affects panicle structure.     

Genetic architecture of aluminum tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa) determined through genome-wide association analysis and QTL mapping

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a primary limitation to crop productivity on acid soils, and rice has been demonstrated to be significantly more Al tolerant than other cereal crops. However, the mechanisms of rice Al tolerance are largely unknown, and no genes underlying natural variation have been reported. We screened 383 diverse rice accessions, conducted a genome-wide association (GWA) study, and conducted QTL mapping in two bi-parental populations using three estimates of Al tolerance based on root growth. Subpopulation structure explained 57% of the phenotypic variation, and the mean Al tolerance in Japonica was twice that of Indica. Forty-eight regions associated with Al tolerance were identified by GWA analysis, most of which were subpopulation-specific. Four of these regions co-localized with a priori candidate genes, and two highly significant regions co-localized with previously identified QTLs. Three regions corresponding to induced Al-sensitive rice mutants (ART1, STAR2, Nrat1) were identified through bi-parental QTL mapping or GWA to be involved in natural variation for Al tolerance. Haplotype analysis around the Nrat1 gene identified susceptible and tolerant haplotypes explaining 40% of the Al tolerance variation within the aus subpopulation, and sequence analysis of Nrat1 identified a trio of non-synonymous mutations predictive of Al sensitivity in our diversity panel. GWA analysis discovered more phenotype-genotype associations and provided higher resolution, but QTL mapping identified critical rare and/or subpopulation-specific alleles not detected by GWA analysis. Mapping using Indica/Japonica populations identified QTLs associated with transgressive variation where alleles from a susceptible aus or indica parent enhanced Al tolerance in a tolerant Japonica background. This work supports the hypothesis that selectively introgressing alleles across subpopulations is an efficient approach for trait enhancement in plant breeding programs and demonstrates the fundamental importance of subpopulation in interpreting and manipulating the genetics of complex traits in rice.     

Mapping quantitative trait loci associated with arsenic accumulation in rice (Oryza sativa)

The quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with arsenic (As) accumulation in rice were mapped using a doubled haploid population established by anther culture of F1 plants from a cross between a Japonica cultivar CJ06 and an Indica cultivar TN1 (Oryza sativa). Four QTLs for arsenic (As) concentrations were detected in the map. At the seedling stage, one QTL was mapped on chromosome 2 for As concentrations in shoots with 24.4% phenotypic variance and one QTL for As concentrations in roots was detected on chromosome 3. At maturity, two QTLs for As concentrations in grains were found on chromosomes 6 and 8, with 26.3 and 35.2% phenotypic variance, respectively. No common loci were detected among these three traits. Interestingly, the QTL on chromosome 8 was found to be colocated for As concentrations in grain at maturity and shoot phosphorus (P) concentrations at seedling stage. These results provide an insight into the genetic basis of As uptake and accumulation in rice, and will be useful in identifying genes associated with As accumulation.     

Genomic paleontology provides evidence for two distinct origins of Asian rice (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Oryza sativa </Emphasis>L.)

The origin of rice domestication has been the subject of debate for several decades. We have compared the transpositional history of 110 LTR retrotransposons in the genomes of two rice varieties, Nipponbare (Japonica type) and 93-11 (Indica type) whose complete sequences have recently been released. Using a genomic paleontology approach, we estimate that these two genomes diverged from one another at least 200,000 years ago, i.e., at a time which is clearly older than the date of domestication of the crop (10,000 years ago, during the late Neolithic). In addition, we complement and confirm this first in silico analysis with a survey of insertion polymorphisms in a wide range of traditional rice varieties of both Indica and Japonica types. These experimental data provide additional evidence for the proposal that Indica and Japonica rice arose from two independent domestication events in Asia.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available in the online version of this article at Communicated by M.-A.

High-throughput single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping for breeding applications in rice using the BeadXpress platform

Multiplexed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers have the potential to increase the speed and cost-effectiveness of genotyping, provided that an optimal SNP density is used for each application. To test the efficiency of multiplexed SNP genotyping for diversity, mapping and breeding applications in rice (Oryza sativa L.), we designed seven GoldenGate VeraCode oligo pool assay (OPA) sets for the Illumina BeadXpress Reader. Validated markers from existing 1536 Illumina SNPs and 44?K Affymetrix SNP chips developed at Cornell University were used to select subsets of informative SNPs for different germplasm groups with even distribution across the genome. A 96-plex OPA was developed for quality control purposes and for assigning a sample into one of the five O. sativa population subgroups. Six 384-plex OPAs were designed for genetic diversity analysis, DNA fingerprinting, and to have evenly-spaced polymorphic markers for quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping and background selection for crosses between different germplasm pools in rice: Indica/Indica, Indica/Japonica, Japonica/Japonica, Indica/O. rufipogon, and Japonica/O. rufipogon. After testing on a diverse set of rice varieties, two of the SNP sets were re-designed by replacing poor-performing SNPs. Pilot studies were successfully performed for diversity analysis, QTL mapping, marker-assisted backcrossing, and developing specialized genetic stocks, demonstrating that 384-plex SNP genotyping on the BeadXpress platform is a robust and efficient method for marker genotyping in rice.     

Physiological, genetic, and molecular characterization of a high-Cd-accumulating rice cultivar, Jarjan

Cadmium (Cd) in rice is a major source of Cd intake for people on a staple rice diet. The mechanisms underlying Cd accumulation in rice plant are still poorly understood. Here, we characterized the physiology and genetics of Cd transport in a high-Cd-accumulating cultivar (Jarjan) of rice (Oryza sativa). Jarjan showed 5- to 34-fold higher Cd accumulation in the shoots and grains than the cultivar Nipponbare, when it was grown in either a non-Cd-contaminated or a Cd-contaminated soil. A short-term uptake experiment showed no significant difference in Cd uptake by the roots between the two cultivars. However, Jarjan translocated 49% of the total Cd taken up to the shoots, whereas Nipponbare retained most of the Cd in the roots. In both concentration- and time-dependent experiments, Jarjan showed a superior capacity for root-to-shoot translocation of Cd. These results indicate that the high-Cd-accumulation phenotype in Jarjan results from efficient translocation of Cd from roots to shoots. Genetic analysis using an F(2) population derived from Jarjan and Nipponbare revealed that plants showing high- and low-Cd-accumulation phenotypes segregated in a 1:3 ratio, indicating that high accumulation in Jarjan is controlled by a single recessive gene. Furthermore, we isolated OsHMA3, a gene encoding a tonoplast-localized Cd transporter from Jarjan. The OsHMA3 protein was localized in all roots cells, but the sequence has a mutation leading to loss of function. Therefore, failure to sequester Cd into the root vacuoles by OsHMA3 is probably responsible for high Cd accumulation in Jarjan.

在Cd污染土壤中研究淹水、覆膜、覆草和湿润栽培对籼、梗稻不同生育时期根表铁膜Fe、Cd含量和根Cd含量的影响．结果表明,在分蘖期,梗稻根表铁膜Fe含量和根Cd含量在4种栽培方式中平均为6．37和25．49mg．kg^-1。分别比籼稻的4．52和16．37mg·kg^-1增加1．85和9．12mg·kg^-1．在孕穗期,粳稻根表铁膜Fe、Cd含量和根Cd含量在4种栽培方式中平均为1．60、16．35和54．68mg·kg^-1,分别比籼稻的1．06、9．56kg和43．31mg·kg^-1增加0．54、6．79和11．37mg·kg^-1．在灌浆期,梗稻根表铁膜Fe含量覆草和湿润栽培为0．89和1．00mg·kg^-1,分别比籼稻的0．63和0．30mg·kg^-1增加0．26和0．70mg·kg^-1;梗稻根表铁膜Cd和根Cd含量在4种栽培方式中平均为15．23和73．68mg·kg^-1,分别比籼稻的3．46和52．38mg·kg^-1增加11．77和21．30mg·kg^-1收获时。根表铁膜Fe含量淹水栽培的籼稻为1．21mg·g^-1,比梗稻的0．65mg·g^-1增加0．56mg·g^-1,覆草栽培的梗稻为0．94mg·g^-1,比籼稻0．55mg·g^-1增加0．39mg·g^-1;根表铁膜Cd含量湿润栽培的梗稻为7．96mg·kg^-1,比籼稻的5．09mg·kg^-1增加2．87mg·kg^-1;根Cd含量梗稻在4种栽培方式中平均为54．53mg·kg^-1,比籼稻的35．91mg·kg^-1增加18．62mg·kg^-1。     

以回交重组自交系定位水稻萌芽期耐镉胁迫相关QTLs

水稻是世界上最主要的粮食作物之一,目前农用耕地存在土壤重金属污染的问题,而水稻对镉（Cd）等重金属的耐受性较低,进而使水稻产量和质量受到影响。定位稻种耐Cd胁迫相关数量性状基因座(quantitative trait loci, QTLs),对于指导水稻耐Cd育种具有重要意义。为发掘Cd胁迫相关基因,以粳稻02428和籼稻昌恢891衍生的124个回交重组自交系群体（backcross recombinant inbred ines,BILs）为材料,对水稻萌芽期的根长、芽长进行了分析,并对萌芽期与Cd胁迫相关的QTLs进行了定位分析。结果显示：Cd胁迫处理下,02428和昌恢891根长和芽长均受到显著抑制（P＜0.01）,其中Cd对根长的抑制强于芽长;QTL分析共检测到5个萌芽期与Cd胁迫相关的QTLs：qCdBL3、qCdRL7、qCdBL8.1、qCdBL8.2和qCdBL9分别位于水稻第3、7、8、8和9号染色体上,贡献率为6.45%~19.46%。其中,qCdBL3、qCdBL8.1、qCdBL8.2和qCdBL9与芽长相关,qCdRL7与根长相关。同时,检测到2个在对照条件下（水溶液）影响根长和芽长的QTLs：qCKBL8、qCKRL4,分别位于第8和4号染色体上,贡献率为10.53%和10.89%。比较显示,对照和Cd处理条件下控制水稻萌芽期根长或芽长的QTLs均不相同,说明Cd胁迫条件下,控制水稻根长和芽长的遗传机制可能不同于非Cd胁迫条件。研究结果为耐Cd基因的克隆和耐Cd水稻新品种的选育提供了参考。     

The extent of parental genotypic divergence determines maximal heterosis by increasing fertility in inter-subspecific hybrids of rice (Oryza sativa L.)

The magnitude of heterosis in F₁ hybrids is related not only to the performance of parents per se but also to the genetic diversity between two parents. The extent of genotypic divergence between hybrid rice parents was investigated at the molecular level, using two subsets of rice materials: a subset of doubled haploid (DH) lines derived from an Indica × Japonica cross (Gui630/02428) and another subset of Indica or Japonica lines representative of a broad spectrum of the Asian cultivated rice gene pool, including landraces, primitive cultivars, historically important cultivars, modern elite cultivars, super rice and parents of superior hybrids. 57 entries deliberately selected from the 81-DH lines (in total) were testcrossed to two widely used rice lines in China, photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterile (PGMS) N422s and thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) Peiai64s. Results of the two sets of test-cross F₁ populations showed congruently that parental genotypic divergence has a relatively low impact on heterosis for the two yield components, i.e., panicle number and 1000-grain weight, but it has a great bearing on fertility parameters, i.e., filled grains per plant and seedset. Heterosis for grain yield in the two test-cross populations exhibited a sharp maximum when the proportion of Japonica alleles in the male parent was between 50 and 60%, so was the heterosis for fertility parameters correspondingly. Thus fertility parameters were the most sensitive and important factors which were influenced by the extent of parental genotypic divergence. Moreover, our results showed that parents with moderate extent of genotypic divergence played an important role in the use of inter-subspecific rice heterosis.     

水稻基因组加倍对籽粒大小调控基因表达的影响

水稻是最重要的粮食作物之一,提高水稻产量一直是育种的主要目标。水稻四倍体相对于二倍体具有籽粒变大、粒重增加的特点,研究基因组加倍后籽粒大小基因的调控模式,在育种应用方面具有十分重要的意义。本文以二倍体 -四倍体水稻为材料,分析6个控制籽粒大小基因在幼穗发育中的表达差异,同时结合转基因实验,探讨基因剂量增加对基因表达水平和籽粒大小的影响。结果发现：基因组加倍后,水稻的发育进程不变,但株高增加,叶片变宽,籽粒变大,增大后的籽粒在籼稻表现为长、宽均增加显著,而在粳稻中长度比宽度增加更为明显。进一步分析控制籽粒大小基因的表达差异情况,发现这些基因的表达不仅受发育时期的影响,在籼粳亚种间也明显不同,即受遗传背景的影响。在基因组加倍的情况下,正调控基因GS5、HGW的表达普遍高于对应的二倍体;负调控基因GS3在籼稻D9311中趋于下调或沉默,而在粳稻DBl中趋于上调,GW2在D9311中上调,而在DBl中趋于沉默。通过转基因实验分析负调控基因GW2在二倍体Bl中的表达趋势,发现其在基因剂量线性增加的情况下,表达水平高于二倍体和四倍体,导致其籽粒变小。本研究结果有助于了解水稻中控制籽粒大小的基因在二倍体和四倍体中的表达模式,为高产育种提供理论依据。

为了探索水稻(Oryza　sativa　L.)地方品种的遗传多样性及其有效保育方法,对采自云南省17个村寨的82个水稻地方品种和3个国际常用的典型籼稻和粳稻品种进行了微卫星(SSR)分子标记的分析。利用19对SSR引物在85个水稻品种中共扩增出了83个基因型,其分子量变异在100～500　bp之间。基于各品种SSR基因型遗传相似系数聚类分析而获得的UPGMA树状图表明各水稻品种之间存在较大的遗传多样性,其相似系数变异在0.15～0.90之间。但这些地方品种的遗传多样性并非呈均等的地理分布。这85个水稻品种在相似系数为0.52之处分为二组,其中一组包括几乎所有的籼稻品种,而另一组包括全部的粳稻品种,表明SSR标记能很好揭示水稻籼-粳分化。同时,有些来自不同采集地的同名品种表现出一定的遗传差异,说明同名异物的现象存在。云南水稻地方品种具有丰富的遗传多样性,对其有效保育十分重要和迫切,　但只有根据遗传多样性的水平和分布特点,采用正确的保育对策和取样方法才能确保对云南水稻地方品种的有效保育。结果进一步表明,选用适当的微卫星引物,可以为准确鉴定籼稻和粳稻品种及研究其进化规律提供有效的分子标记方法,并有利于有目标的水稻遗传资源保育和育种创新。
