Summary: | Wild abortive type of cytoplasmic male sterility (WA-CMS) is commercially
used for hybrid rice seed production. The linked markers can be used for
selection of plants with desirable traits. Tagging of Rf genes was carried
out using recessive and dominant class analysis in a large F2 population
from the cross IR58025A×IR42686R. Pollen fertility and seed setting were
evaluated at the flowering and maturity stages, respectively. Forty-seven
highly sterile and 23 fertile homozygous plants were selected from F2
population for molecular marker assay. Four Rf genes identified in a good
restorer line with high-quality derived from a random mating composite
population at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). The genetic
distance from Rf3 locus with flanking markers RM443 and RM315 on chromosome
1 was 3.7 and 21.2 cM, respectively. RM258, RM591, RM271 and RM6737 on the
long arm of chromosome 10 were linked with the Rf6 gene with distance of
7.4, 22.6, 6 and 2.9 cM, respectively. Rf6 was flanked by RM6737 and RM591.
The Rf4 gene located on chromosome 7 was linked with RM6344 at a genetic
distance of 10.6 cM. RM519 and RM7003 were linked with other Rf gene on
chromosome 12 at a genetic distance of 8.5 and 20.8 cM, respectively.
Closely linked markers identified in this study could be used for marker
assisted selection in a hybrid rice breeding program. A new Rf locus on
chromosome 12 that designated Rf7 was linked with RM7003 and RM519. |
