Acombined RFLP and AFLP linkage map of an F6 recombinant inbred population, which was derived from a previously mapped F2 of a cross between the two drought resistant upland rice varieties Bala and Azucena, is presented. The map contains 101 RFLP
and 34 AFLP markers on 17 linkage groups covering 1680 cM. Also presented is the approximate mapping position of a further
four RFLP and 75 AFLP markers, which either could not be given a unique place on the map or for which the available data is
not sufficient to allow confident positioning, and the result of quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping of traits related
to root-penetration ability. Root penetration was assessed by counting the number of root axes that penetrated a 3 mm-thick
layer consisting of 80% wax and 20% white soft paraffin. Good root penetration would be expected to increase drought resistance
where soil strength is high. Single-marker analysis revealed seven QTLs for the number of roots which penetrate the wax layer.
In identical locations were seven QTLs for the ratio of penetrated to the total number of roots. Transgressive inheritance
of positive alleles from Bala explained four of these QTLs. Comparison of the QTLs identified here with previous reports of
QTLs for root morphology suggest that alleles which improve root penetration ability may also either make the roots longer
or thicker.

Quantitative trait loci for root-penetration ability and root thickness in rice: comparison of genetic backgrounds. 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Drought is the major abiotic stress limiting rice (Oryza sativa) production and yield stability in rainfed lowland and upland ecosystems. Root systems play an important role in drought resistance. Incorporation of root selection criteria in drought resistance improvement is difficult due to lack of reliable and efficient screening techniques. Using a wax-petrolatum layer system simulated to compacted soil layers, root traits were evaluated in a doubled haploid (DH) population derived from the cross between 'IR64' and 'Azucena'. Twelve putative QTLs (quantitative trait loci) were detected by interval mapping comprising four QTLs for root-penetration ability, four QTLs for root thickness, two QTLs for penetrated root number, and two QTLs for total root number. These QTLs individually explained 8.4% to 16.4% of the phenotypic variation. No QTL was detected for maximum penetrated root length by interval mapping. One QTL located between RG104 and RG348 was found to influence both root-penetration ability and root thickness. QTLs for root-penetration ability and root thickness were compared across two populations, 'IR64'-'Azucena' and 'CO39'-'Moroberekan', and different testing conditions. The identified consistent QTLs could be used for marker-assisted selection for deep and thick roots with high root-penetration ability in rice. 相似文献

The development of a wax layer method for screening the ability of rice (Oryza sativa L.) roots to overcome mechanical impedance is described. Wax layers (3 mm thick) made of mixtures of white soft paraffin and paraffin wax were installed 50 mm deep in tubes of sand. The sand was watered with nutrient solution and planted with 3-d old rice seedlings. The numbers of root axes per plant that had penetrated the wax layers 24 d after planting were counted. The ratio of penetrated to total root axes per plant gave a misleading measure of root penetration ability, as rice varieties differed in the ratio of penetrated to total axes in a low impedance (3% wax) control. In non-flooded conditions, a 60% wax layer decreased root penetration (number of roots penetrating the wax layer per plant) to a mean of 74% of the low impedance control, whereas an 80% wax layer decreased mean root penetration to 31% of the control. The best measure of root penetration in non-flooded conditions was the number of axes penetrating an 80% wax layer. Flooding decreased root penetration of a 60% wax layer to a mean of 26% of the low impedance control. The best measure of root penetration in flooded conditions was the number of axes penetrating a 60% wax layer. 相似文献

Evaluation of root traits in rainfed lowland rice is very difficult. Molecular genetic markers could be used as an alternative
strategy to phenotypic selection for the improvement of rice root traits. This research was undertaken to map QTLs associated
with five root traits using RFLP and AFLP markers. Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were developed from two indica parents, IR58821–23-B-1–2-1 and IR52561-UBN-1–1-2, that were adapted to rainfed lowland production systems. Using wax-petrolatum
layers to simulate a hardpan in the soil, 166 RILs were evaluated for total root number (TRN), penetrated root number (PRN),
root penetration index (RPI, the ratio of PRN to TRN), penetrated root thickness (PRT) and penetrated root length (PRL) under
greenhouse conditions during the summer and the fall of 1997. A genetic linkage map of 2022 cM length was constructed comprising
303 AFLP and 96 RFLP markers with an average marker space of 5.0 cM. QTL analysis via interval mapping detected 28 QTLs for
these five root traits, which were located on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10 and 11. Individual QTLs accounted for between
6 and 27% of the phenotypic variation. Most of the favorable alleles were derived from the parent IR58821–23-B-1–2-1, which
was phenotypically superior in root traits related to drought resistance. Three out of six QTLs for RPI were detected in both
summer and fall experiments and they also were associated with PRN in both experiments. Out of eight QTLs for RPT, five were
common in both seasons. Two genomic regions on chromosome 2 were associated with three root traits (PRN, PRT and RPI), whereas
three genomic regions on chromosomes 2 and 3 were associated with two root traits (PRT and RPI). Two QTLs affecting RPI and
two QTLs affecting PRT were also found in similar genomic regions in other rice populations. The consistent QTLs across genetic
backgrounds and the common QTLs detected in both experiments should be good candidates for marker-assisted selection toward
the incorporation of root traits in a drought resistance breeding program, especially for rainfed lowland rice.

Identification of QTL for increased fibrous roots in soybean 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Drought stress adversely affects soybean at various developmental stages, which collectively results in yield reduction. Unpredictable
rainfall has been reported to contribute about 36% to variation of yield difference between the rain-fed and irrigated fields.
Among the drought resistance mechanisms, drought avoidance in genotypes with fibrous roots was recognized to be associated
with drought resistance in soybean. Plant introduction PI416937 was shown to possess fibrous roots and has been used as a
parent in breeding programs to improve soybean productivity. Little information is available on relative contribution and
chromosomal location of quantitative trait loci (QTL) conditioning fibrous roots in soybean. To identify the genomic locations
and genetic bases of this trait, a recombinant inbred line population was derived from a cross between PI416937 and ‘Benning’.
To detect associated QTLs, phenotypic data were collected and analyzed for 2 years under rain-fed field conditions. The selective
genotyping approach was used to reduce the costs and work associated with conducting the QTL analysis. A total of five QTLs
were identified on chromosomes Gm01 (Satt383), Gm03 (Satt339), Gm04 (Sct_191), Gm08 (Satt429), and Gm20 (Sat_299), and together
explained 51% of the variation in root score. Detected QTLs were co-localized with QTLs related to root morphology, suggesting
that fibrous roots QTL may be associated with other morpho-physiological traits and seed yield in soybean. Genetic dissection
of the fibrous roots trait at the individual marker loci will allow for marker-assisted selection to develop soybean genotypes
with enhanced levels of fibrous roots. 相似文献

The genetic architecture of nodal root number in maize 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The maize nodal root system plays a crucial role in the development of the aboveground plant and determines the yield via the uptake of water and nutrients in the field. However, the genetic architecture of the maize nodal root system is not well understood, and it has become the ‘dark matter’ of maize genetics. Here, a large teosinte‐maize population was analyzed, and high‐resolution mapping revealed that 62 out of 133 quantitative trait loci (QTLs), accounting for approximately half of the total genetic variation in nodal root number, were derived from QTLs for flowering time, which was further validated through a transgenic analysis and a genome‐wide association study. However, only 16% of the total genetic variation in nodal root number was derived from QTLs for plant height. These results gave a hint that flowering time played a key role in shaping nodal root number via indirect selection during maize domestication. Our results also supported that more aerial nodal roots and fewer crown roots might be favored in temperate maize, and this root architecture might efficiently improve root‐lodging resistance and the ability to take up deep water and nitrogen under dense planting. 相似文献

QTLs for nitrate induced elongation and initiation of lateral roots in rice (Oryza sativa L.) 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:1
To investigate the genetic background of nitrate-induced elongation and initiation of lateral roots in rice (Oryza sativa L.), a doubled haploid (DH) population, derived from a cross between IR64 and Azucena, which showed different responses to local supplied NO3
– in lateral root elongation and initiation, was used in an agar culture experiment with three separated layers. The second agar layer was supplied with 3 mM NO3
– or without NO3
– as two treatments. Average lateral root length, lateral root number and surface area of lateral roots in the second agar layers with and without nitrate, respectively, were measured. The ratio of the parameters from the two treatments were calculated as derived parameters. Seven putative Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for the 6 lateral root traits in nitrate-deficient and nitrate-supplied layers were detected. These QTLs individually explained about 9% to 15% of the total phenotypic variations in the traits. Identical QTLs for root traits from other reports with QTLs detected in this case were found, which suggests that the genetic factors responsive to local supplied NO3
– is involved in root growth and development 相似文献

Root system size (RSS) was measured in 12 diverse barley genotypes and 157 double-haploid lines (DHs), using electric capacitance.
The parents of the DHs, Derkado and B83-12/21/5, carry different semi-dwarfing genes, sdw1 and ari-e.GP, respectively. Estimates of RSS were taken in the field thrice during plant development: stem elongation (RSS1), heading
(RSS2) and grain filling (RSS3). The 12 barley genotypes were assessed over 3 years and at two or three locations each year;
the DH mapping population was assessed at two locations in 2002. Among the 12 barley genotypes, those with the semi-dwarf
genes had greater RSS values in all 3 years (28.9, 24.6 and 15.0% in years 1, 2 and 3, respectively) compared to non-semi-dwarf
controls. The DH population showed transgressive segregation on both sides of the parent means, indicating polygenic control
of RSS. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for RSS were found on five of the seven chromosomes: 1H, 3H, 4H, 5H and 7H and these
were compared with previously mapped agronomic traits. The TotalRSS QTL on 3H was associated with sdw1 and QTLs for height, plant yield and plant weight. The RSS3 QTL on 5H was associated with ari-e.GP and QTLs for height, plant yield, plant weight, harvest index and tiller number. The RSS3 QTL on 7H was also associated
with a TotalRSS QTL and QTLs for plant weight and harvest index. Other RSS QTLs were not associated with any other trait studied.
RSS is considered to be a polygenic trait linked to important traits, in particular to yield. The study highlights the effects
of semi-dwarfing genes and discusses the potential for breeding for root traits. 相似文献

An attempt was made to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for several productivity and plant architecture traits in a full-sib progeny of 144 individuals from two non-inbred parents in cassava. A molecular linkage map of this cross constructed previously with over 250 markers was the source of molecular markers. The progeny were grown under field conditions at two locations (Palmira and Quilichao) in Colombia and evaluated in 2 years (1998 and 1999) for architecture and productivity traits. Architecture traits evaluated were plant height (PH), branching height (BH), branching levels (BL), branching index (BI), stem portion with leaves (SPL) and leaf area index (LAI). Productivity traits were those related to total dry matter production and distribution, namely fresh root yield (FRY), fresh shoot yield (FSY), harvest index (HI) and the number of storage roots (NR). Phenotypic evaluation of the traits in this population revealed continuous variation for all traits. Broad-sense heritability estimates, ranged from 36% (for NR) to 94% (for BH). Several significant phenotypic correlations were observed between architecture and productivity traits. Primary QTLs, using the single-QTL model, and secondary QTLs, by a primary QTL interaction model, were detected by interval mapping. A total of 30 primary QTLs and 84 secondary QTLs were detected. We identified 35% of detected QTLs in two or more trials, the other QTLs were environment-specific. These results underscore the significant genotype × environment interactions found for most of the traits. Several genomic segments affecting multiple traits were identified and were in agreement with correlation among traits. All QTLs identified for FRY were found associated with either component traits of productivity or architecture traits. This study suggests that QTLs for plant architecture can be used to improve productivity. However an exhaustive search and analysis of QTLs controlling architecture is required before marker-assisted selection (MAS) for increasing productivity can be initiated.Communicated by H. C.

Assessment of a rapid method,using soil cores,for estimating the amount and distribution of crop roots in the field 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary A study was made of the relationship between the number of roots (Nr) observed on unit area of the freshly exposed, horizontal faces of soil cores, and the amounts of roots (per unit volume) present in the same cores. Soil cores, 7 cm diameter, were extracted to depths of 1 m from cereal crops in 1976 at three field sites located on clay soils. Sampling was either at the start of stem elongation, or at anthesis. Estimates of root length per unit soil volume (L) were derived from Nr by assuming random orientation of roots in the soil.Values of L were found to be highly correlated with the measured lengths of both the main roots (root axes) and the total roots (axes and laterals) washed from the soil at a given growth stage, for each of the soils. On average, L was 3.3 times the length of root axes washed from the soil, and was 0.42 times the length of total roots, but there was appreciable variation between different growth stages and field sites. Possible factors giving rise to differences between L and the measured lengths of roots are discussed. Estimates of root length from observation of soil cores may nonetheless provide a suitable basis for rapidly comparing therelative distribution of roots down the soil profile under field conditions. 相似文献
