水稻籽粒淀粉分支酶活性的遗传分析

用由247个株系组成的珍汕97B/密阳46重组自交系群体及其含207个分子标记的连锁图谱,在2002年和2003年分别测定亲本和重组自交系群体开花后10 d和20 d籽粒的淀粉分支酶的活性,检测到3个控制开花后10 d Q酶活性的主效应QTL(qnantitative trait loci),联合贡献率为10%,其中qQ10-6与环境发生显著的互作;分别检测到5对和2对染色体区间对开花后10 d、20 d Q酶活性的影响具有加性×加性上位性作用,其中开花后10 d的3对染色体区间具有显著的上位性×环境互作效应.由此可见,水稻籽粒Q酶活性相关基因的表达,受到环境因子的极大影响.

Genetic Analysis of Starch Branching Enzyme Activity in Rice Grain

To make an genetic analysis of starch branching enzyme (Q enzyme) inheritance, which is important in catalyzing the formation of amylopectin and thereby raising the amylopectin/amylose ratio of starch in rice grains, a linkage map of 207 DNA markers were constructed by using 247 recombinant inbred lines derived from an indica-indica rice cross Zhenshan 97B/Milyang46. In 2002 and 2003, the activities of starch branching enzyme of the parents and 247 RILs were measured 10 d and 20 d respectively after flowering (Table 1). A total of 3 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were detected to have significant additive effects on Q enzyme activities 10 d after flowering with 10% phenotypic variations explained for the three QTLs (Table 2, Fig.1). Meanwhile, qQ10-6 with significant QTL x environment interaction was detected. Epistasis analysis detected 5 and 2 significant additive-by-additive interactions for Q enzyme 10 d and 20 d respectively after flowering (Table 3), and three pairs of QTLs 10 d after flowering with significant epistasis x environment interactions were detected, explaining 3% to 12% of the phenotypic variation. The results showed that the environmental factors had obvious effect on the gene expression of Q enzyme activity in rice grain. Meanwhile, the location of qQ10-6 in relation to that of QTLs for gelatinization temperature, gene loci involved in ADPG pyrophosphorylase and soluble starch synthase were discussed with the help of a genetic map.
