Abstract: | RFLP analysis was conducted on a population derived from a three-way cross to determine the location of the hybrid sterility locus, S-5, in relation to mapped molecular markers and to identify markers that would be useful for selection in breeding. S-5 is of interest to rice breeders because it is associated with spikelet sterility of F1 hybrids in Indica/Japonica crosses. Identification of an S-5 allele which confers fertility in Indica/Japonica hybrids when introgressed into either the Indica or the Japonica parent has been reported. Varieties carrying this S-5n allele are known as wide compatibility varieties (WCV). Our data suggests that RFLP marker RG213 on chromosome 6 is closely linked to the S-5 locus and can be efficiently used to identify wide compatibility (WC) lines. RG213 is a single-copy genomic clone that detects three bands of different molecular weights in DNA from Japonica (Akihikari) and Indica (IR36) varieties and WC line (Nekken 2). We demonstrate that the three alleles detected by this marker could be used to trace the inheritance of the wide compatible phenotype in breeders' material. |
