Abstract
Heading date (HD) is a crucial agronomic trait, controlled by multiple loci, that conditions a range of geographical and seasonal adaptations in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Therefore, information on the HD genotypes of cross parents is essential in marker-assisted breeding programs. Here, we used the Fluidigm 96-plex SNP genotyping platform to develop genotyping assays to determine alleles at 41 HD loci (29 previously characterized genes and 12 quantitative trait loci [QTLs], including a newly detected QTL). The genotyping assays discriminated a total of 144 alleles (defined on the basis of the literature and publicly available databases) and QTLs. Genotyping of 377 cultivars revealed 3.5 alleles per locus on average, a higher diversity of Hd1, Ghd7, PRR37, and DTH8 than that of the other loci, and the predominance of the reference ('Nipponbare') genotype at 30 of the 41 loci. HD prediction models using the data from 200 cultivars showed good correlation (r > 0.69, P < 0.001) when tested with 22 cultivars not included in the prediction models. Thus, the developed assays provide genotype information on HD and will enable cost-effective breeding.

Functional Bph14 from Rathu Heenati promotes resistance to BPH at the early seedling stage of rice (Oryza sativa L.) as revealed by QTL-seq. TAG. THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS. THEORETISCHE UND ANGEWANDTE GENETIK 2023; 136:25.

Abstract
A QTL associated with BPH resistance at the early seedling stage was identified on chromosome 3. Functional Bph14 in Rathu Heenati was associated with BPH resistance at the early seedling stage. Brown planthopper (BPH; Nilaparvata lugens Stål) is considered the most important rice pest in many Asian countries. Several BPH resistance genes have previously been identified. However, there are few reports of genes specific for BPH resistance at the early seedling stage, a crucial stage for direct-seeding cultivation. In this study, we performed a QTL-seq analysis using two bulks (20 F2 lines in each bulk) of the F2 population (n = 300) derived from a cross of Rathu Heenati (RH) × HCS-1 to identify QTL/genes associated with BPH resistance at the early seedling stage. An important QTL was identified on chromosome 3 and Bph14 was identified as a potential candidate gene based on the differences in gene expression and sequence variation when compared with the two parents. All plants in the resistant bulks possessed the functional Bph14 from RH and all plants in the susceptible bulk and HCS-1 contained a large deletion (2703 bp) in Bph14. The functional Bph14 gene of RH appears to be important for BPH resistance at the early seedling stage of rice and could be used in conjunction with other BPH resistance genes in rice breeding programs that confer resistance to BPH at the early and later growth stages.

Identification and Validation of a QTL for Bacterial Leaf Streak Resistance in Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) against Thai Xoc Strains. Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:1587. [PMID: 34680982 PMCID: PMC8535723 DOI: 10.3390/genes12101587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2021] [Revised: 10/02/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world and is of vital importance to many countries. Various diseases caused by fungi, bacteria and viruses constantly threaten rice plants and cause yield losses. Bacterial leaf streak disease (BLS) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) is one of the most devastating rice diseases. However, most modern rice varieties are susceptible to BLS. In this study, we applied the QTL-seq approach using an F2 population derived from the cross between IR62266 and Homcholasit (HSC) to rapidly identify the quantitative trait loci (QTL) that confers resistance to BLS caused by a Thai Xoc isolate, SP7-5. The results showed that a single genomic region at the beginning of chromosome 5 was highly associated with resistance to BLS. The gene xa5 was considered a potential candidate gene in this region since most associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were within this gene. A Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) marker was developed based on two consecutive functional SNPs in xa5 and validated in six F2 populations inoculated with another Thai Xoc isolate, 2NY2-2. The phenotypic variance explained by this marker (PVE) ranged from 59.04% to 70.84% in the six populations. These findings indicate that xa5 is a viable candidate gene for BLS resistance and may help in breeding programs for BLS resistance.

Abstract
In the current era, one of biggest challenges is to shorten the breeding cycle for rapid generation of a new crop variety having high yield capacity, disease resistance, high nutrient content, etc. Advances in the "-omics" technology have revolutionized the discovery of genes and bio-molecules with remarkable precision, resulting in significant development of plant-focused metabolic databases and resources. Metabolomics has been widely used in several model plants and crop species to examine metabolic drift and changes in metabolic composition during various developmental stages and in response to stimuli. Over the last few decades, these efforts have resulted in a significantly improved understanding of the metabolic pathways of plants through identification of several unknown intermediates. This has assisted in developing several new metabolically engineered important crops with desirable agronomic traits, and has facilitated the de novo domestication of new crops for sustainable agriculture and food security. In this review, we discuss how "omics" technologies, particularly metabolomics, has enhanced our understanding of important traits and allowed speedy domestication of novel crop plants.

Abstract
Climate change during the last 40 years has had a serious impact on agriculture and threatens global food and nutritional security. From over half a million plant species, cereals and legumes are the most important for food and nutritional security. Although systematic plant breeding has a relatively short history, conventional breeding coupled with advances in technology and crop management strategies has increased crop yields by 56 % globally between 1965-85, referred to as the Green Revolution. Nevertheless, increased demand for food, feed, fiber, and fuel necessitates the need to break existing yield barriers in many crop plants. In the first decade of the 21st century we witnessed rapid discovery, transformative technological development and declining costs of genomics technologies. In the second decade, the field turned towards making sense of the vast amount of genomic information and subsequently moved towards accurately predicting gene-to-phenotype associations and tailoring plants for climate resilience and global food security. In this review we focus on genomic resources, genome and germplasm sequencing, sequencing-based trait mapping, and genomics-assisted breeding approaches aimed at developing biotic stress resistant, abiotic stress tolerant and high nutrition varieties in six major cereals (rice, maize, wheat, barley, sorghum and pearl millet), and six major legumes (soybean, groundnut, cowpea, common bean, chickpea and pigeonpea). We further provide a perspective and way forward to use genomic breeding approaches including marker-assisted selection, marker-assisted backcrossing, haplotype based breeding and genomic prediction approaches coupled with machine learning and artificial intelligence, to speed breeding approaches. The overall goal is to accelerate genetic gains and deliver climate resilient and high nutrition crop varieties for sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield enhancement is one of the prime objectives of plant breeders. Elucidation of the inheritance of grain weight, a key yield component trait, is of paramount importance for raising the yield thresholds in rice. In the present investigation, we employed Next-Generation Sequencing based QTL-seq approach to identify major genomic regions associated with grain weight using mapping populations derived from a cross between BPT5204 and MTU3626. QTL-seq analysis identified three grain weight quantitative trait loci (QTL) viz., qGW1 (35-40 Mb), qGW7 (10-18 Mb), and qGW8 (2-5 Mb) on chromosomes 1, 7 and 8, respectively and all are found to be novel. Further, qGW8 was confirmed through conventional QTL mapping in F2, F3 and BC1F2 populations and found to explain the phenotypic variance of 17.88%, 16.70% and 15.00%, respectively, indicating a major QTL for grain weight. Based on previous reports, two candidate genes in the qGW8 QTL were predicted i.e., LOC_Os08g01490 (Cytochrome P450), and LOC_Os08g01680 (WD domain, G-beta repeat domain containing protein) and through in silico analysis they were found to be highly expressed in reproductive organs during different stages of grain development. Here, we have demonstrated that QTL-seq is one of the rapid approaches to uncover novel QTLs controlling complex traits. The candidate genes identified in the present study undoubtedly enhance our understanding of the mechanism and inheritance of the grain weight. These candidate genes can be exploited for yield enhancement after confirmation through complementary studies.

Genome wide screening and comparative genome analysis for Meta-QTLs, ortho-MQTLs and candidate genes controlling yield and yield-related traits in rice. BMC Genomics 2020; 21:294. [PMID: 32272882 PMCID: PMC7146888 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-020-6702-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2019] [Accepted: 03/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Improving yield and yield-related traits is the crucial goal in breeding programmes of cereals. Meta-QTL (MQTL) analysis discovers the most stable QTLs regardless of populations genetic background and field trial conditions and effectively narrows down the confidence interval (CI) for identification of candidate genes (CG) and markers development. Results A comprehensive MQTL analysis was implemented on 1052 QTLs reported for yield (YLD), grain weight (GW), heading date (HD), plant height (PH) and tiller number (TN) in 122 rice populations evaluated under normal condition from 1996 to 2019. Consequently, these QTLs were confined into 114 MQTLs and the average CI was reduced up to 3.5 folds in compare to the mean CI of the original QTLs with an average of 4.85 cM CI in the resulted MQTLs. Among them, 27 MQTLs with at least five initial QTLs from independent studies were considered as the most stable QTLs over different field trials and genetic backgrounds. Furthermore, several known and novel CGs were detected in the high confident MQTLs intervals. The genomic distribution of MQTLs indicated the highest density at subtelomeric chromosomal regions. Using the advantage of synteny and comparative genomics analysis, 11 and 15 ortho-MQTLs were identified at co-linear regions between rice with barley and maize, respectively. In addition, comparing resulted MQTLs with GWAS studies led to identification of eighteen common significant chromosomal regions controlling the evaluated traits. Conclusion This comprehensive analysis defines a genome wide landscape on the most stable loci associated with reliable genetic markers and CGs for yield and yield-related traits in rice. Our findings showed that some of these information are transferable to other cereals that lead to improvement of their breeding programs.

Abstract
Most Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) and gene isolation approaches, such as positional- or map-based cloning, are time-consuming and low-throughput methods. Understanding and detecting the genetic material that controls a phenotype is a key means to functionally analyzing genes as well as to enhance crop agronomic traits. In this regard, high-throughput technologies have great prospects for changing the paradigms of DNA marker revealing, genotyping, and for discovering crop genetics and genomic study. Bulk segregant analysis, based on whole genome resequencing approaches, permits the rapid isolation of the genes or QTL responsible for the causative mutation of the phenotypes. MutMap, MutMap Gap, MutMap+, modified MutMap, and QTL-seq methods are among those approaches that have been confirmed to be fruitful gene mapping approaches for crop plants, such as rice, irrespective of whether the characters are determined by polygenes. As a result, in the present study we reviewed the progress made by all these methods to identify QTL or genes in rice.
