Abstract:

To improve seedling blast resistance of rice cytoplasmic male sterile(CMS)line Taonong1A and its maintainer Taonong1B,the Chinese local rice variety Gumei 4 was used as the donor parent harboring the broad-spectrum and durable blast resistance gene Pigm,and the Pigm-tightly-linked codominant marker T9E3 was developed and employed in marker-assisted selection(MAS)breeding practice.T9E3 showed clear and stable polymorphism between the donor and acceptor parents,amplifying a 926 bp DNA band from Gumei 4 genome,while the PCR product from either genome of Taonong1B or Taonong1A was about 2 000 bp.Greenhouse inoculation assay was performed using thirty-two Magnaporthe oryzae isolates collected from different rice areas,Gumei 4 and the improved rice lines showed much higher resistance frequency(90.63%)than that of two acceptor parents Taonong1B and Taonong1A(9.38%).Accordingly,Gumei 4 and the improved rice lines showed high-level seedling blast resistance(0 grade)but highly susceptible(8 grade)for two acceptor parents in natural nursery.Three blast resistant CMS pure lines(Taonong1A-Pigm-1—Taonong1A-Pigm-3)and the corresponding resistant maintainers(Taonong1B-Pigm-1—Taonong1B-Pigm-3)were preliminarily bred through MAS breeding,and one pair of them,Taonong1A-Pigm-2/Taonong1B-Pigm-2,was screened for potential application duo to the high-level blast resistance and elite sterility,agronomic and yield traits.Taonong1A-Pigm-2 showed complete male sterility with nearly 60% typical abortive pollens and 40% round abortive pollens,higher stigma exsertion rate(71.1%)and lower enclosed spikelet rate(33.6%),Taonong1B-Pigm-2 exhibited excellent agronomic and yield trait indexes,such as moderate sowing-heading duration(69 days),plant height(76.2 cm),main panicle length(28.1 cm),panicles per plant(15.8),spikelets per panicle(115.3)and 1000-grain weight(27.7 g)。New parent materials were created for the application of cytoplasmic male sterile(CMS)line hybrid rice breeding,and the comprehensive improvement of seedling blast resistance and characters of Taonong1A and Taonong1B were realized.
