水稻抗白叶枯病基因Xa-4的PCR标记研究

根据与水稻抗白叶枯病基因Ｘａ－４紧密连锁的分子标记Ｍ５５的序列设计引物，通过对国际水稻研究所育成的抗白叶枯病近等基因系和基因累加系的叶片ＤＮＡ、半粒种子提取物及Ｘａ－４基因的杂合体ＤＮＡ的ＰＣＲ特异扩增，初步建立了Ｘａ－４的ＰＣＲ标记体系。进而用该标记体系对我国籼型杂交水稻常用的亲本材料进行分析，揭示出了Ｘａ－４在这些材料中的分布情况。

Studies of PCR Marker for the Rice Bacterial Blight Resistance Gene Xa-4

Based on the sequence of a DNA marker tightly linked to the rice bacterial blight(BB) resistance gene Xa -4, two primers were designated and synthesized to develop a PCR marker for the gene. Specific amplified polymorphism analysis was carried out with these primers on a set of BB resistance isogenic lines and pyramided lines developed by IRRI. Two PCR bands were revealed corresponding to lines with dominant Xa -4 and those with the recessive allele, respectively, regardless the lines pyramided with other resistance genes. A hybrid with heterozygous Xa -4 produced both of the two allele PCR pattern. Then, the PCR marker was used to survey a range of hybrid rice germplasm. The results of the germplasm survey will be useful in hybrid rice breeding programs aimed at exploiting Xa -4.
