    In order to identify the resistant gene of rice false smut in rice,a recombinant inbred line(RILs)population with 157 lines derived from an inter-subspecies cross of Daguandao/IR28 by the single seed descent method was used to detect quantitative trait loci(QTLs)conferring resistance to strain Pi-1 of rice false smut(caused by Ustilaginoidea virens(Cooke)Takahashi)in 2012 and 2013.The disease rate index of the two parents and 157 RILs caused by the strain Pi-1 of rice false smut were scored and the QTLs for rice false smut resistance were detected accordingly by QTL Cartographer software.Seven QTLs controlling false smut resistance were detected on chromosomes 2,7,8,11 and 12,respectively,with the phenotypic variance of 8.5%-17.2%.There were four QTLs detected in 2012 and 2013,respectively,and only one QTL was found in both two years,the phenotypic variation explained by this individual QTL was 13.5% and 17.2%,and the additive effects of this QTL contributed to the 9.9% and 14.3% decrease of disease index and therefore the disease resistance increased.The direction of the additive effects at five loci qFsr2a,qFsr8a,qFsr8b,qFsr11 and qFsr12 coincided with that predicted by phenotypes of the parents,and the IR28 alleles at these loci had positive effect against rice false smut while the negative effects were found in Daguandao alleles at qFsr2b and qFsr7. The qFsr11 should be useful in rice breeding for resistance to rice false smut in marker-assisted selection(MAS)program.

    In order to reveal the relations between the characters of vascular bundle and panicle in rice, An F6 population from a cross between a japonica variety Zhongyouzao 8 and an indica variety Fengjin was used as materials. There was a significantly positive correlations between the number of the large and small vascular bundle of the neck-panicle, the number of the large and small vascular bundle of the second internode, the efficiency of large vascular bundles and primary rachis branches and the number of the first and second branches and their grains and filled grains, the length of the first and second branches, secondary rachis branches grains rate, panicle neck width, the length and weight of panicle, grains density, the number of grains and filled grains per panicle, and the yield of per panicle, respectively. But the number of panicle was opposite. The relations between the characters of vascular bundle and secondary rachis branches was closer than primary rachis branches. The relation between the ratio of large vascular bundles to small vascular bundles of the second internode, the ratio of large vascular bundles between the second top stem and neck-panicle, that of the small one and panicle traits is negative. There was not correlation between the characters of vascular bundle and seed setting rate, 1000-grain weight, panicle type index, the first node length of panicle. Regression and path analysis for the characters of vascular bundle and panicle showed the efficiency of primary rachis branches had a greatly direct effect on the grains per panicle, the number of the first and second branches and their grains, and yield per panicle. The effect of primary rachis branches efficiency for yield per panicle was the most. The efficiency of large vascular bundles had a greatly indirect effect on those characters. The efficiency of large vascular bundles exceeded 0.5 in japonica and pre-japonica rice, but the rice of indica and pre-indica was opposite. The efficiency of primary rachis branches was nearly 1.0 in indica and pre-indica rice, but the rice of japonica and pre-japonica was about 0.5. There was a close correlation between the efficiency of large vascular bundles and primary rachis branches and the panicle characters, and yield per panicle. The vary degree of the efficiency of large vascular bundles and primary rachis branches was notably different in parents and its hybrid descendants. Because it reflected the good configuration and function of panicle characters, it could be thought of a reference standard as the choice of good panicle characters.

    The effects of different cadmium concentrations on seed germination, seedling growth and amylolytic activity of rice cultivar Xiushui 11 (Oryza sativa L. cv. Xiushui 11) were studied. The results showed that cadmium had litt le effect on germination rate except seeds were treated under high concentration of cadmium. However, germinat ion index, vigour index, root length and amylolytic activity were signif icantly reduced with the increase of cadmium. The inh-ibit ion of cadmium on root growth was more obviously than that on plumula, and the inhibition on the activity of anylase was more seriously than that on anylase.

    To identify the miRNAs and their response regular patterns to salt stress and drought stress,rice seedlings at three leaves stage were used to quantify the expression of miRNAs and their targets when treated with salt and drought stresses at 0,3,6,12,24,48 h by qRT-PCR. The results demonstrated that expression patterns of miRNAs were affected by space-time and tissues under salt and drought treatments. Further analysis indicated that the expressions of miR156,miR164,miR167,miR169, and miR171 upregulated in roots with time and expressions of miR159,miR160,miR319,miR398, and miR1848 downregulated at 3 h and then upregulated when treated with salt(NaCl). And the 10 miRNAs were performed their lowest expressions in shoots at 3 or 6 h under NaCl treatment. On the other hand,the expressions of the most of the 10 miRNAs downregulated in roots generally and expressions of miR156,miR159 and miR160 downregulated in shoots and the expression patterns of miR167,miR169,miR319,miR398, and miR1848 down regulated first and then upregulated when treated with drought(PEG). Furthermore,expression patterns of targets were also affected by space-time and tissues. And only few expression patterns of the 10 miRNAs negatively correlated with its target,which implied the complexity of the regulation network of miRNA and its target in response to stresses.

    The number and the length of roots as well as its QTL would provide theoretical basis for genetic mechanisms and molecular marker assisted breeding of salt and alkaline tolerance. Recombinant inbred lines(RIL)of sensitive varieties Dongnong 425 tolerant varieties Changbai 10 cross were treated with 140 mmol/L NaCl and 0.15% Na2CO3 as salt and alkali stress,and normal condition as control. The number and the length of roots during seedling stage were measured,and using complete interval mapping(ICIM)of QTL IciMapping v3.3 software to analysis the QTL under salt,alkali and normal conditions. We detected eighteen additive QTL located on 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9 and 10 chromosomes with LOD 2.01-3.35,and the contribution rate to phenotypic variation was 6.02%-20.06%.Under natural conditions,four QTL related to the root number were detected,among which,12.46% was the largest contribution rate of qNRN7-2,while no QTL were detected related to the root length. Under salt stress,five QTL were detected related to the number and length of roots,among which,20.06% was the largest contribution rate of qSRN3. Under alkali stress,three QTL related to the root number and root length were detected. The contribution rate of qARN2 was 12.99%,and the contributions of qARL3 and qARL5 were 7.04% and 8.88% respectively. We found four different number and length related QTL between normal and salt condition. Among them,the contribution rates of qN-SRN8-2 and qN-SRL1 were relatively large,14.01% and 14.12%,respectively.In normal and alkali conditions,two number and length related QTL were detected on 3 and 10 chromosomes. One QTL associated with root number, qN-ARN3,located on chromosome 3,with contribution rate 6.02%.One QTL were detected related to the number and length of roots,among which,7.45% was the largest contribution rate of qN-ARL10 on chromosome 10. Under alkali and salt stress conditions,the number and length of rice seedling roots were significantly affected,and compared with salt stress,rice was more sensitive to alkali stress.

    In order to investigate the effect of salt stress on starch synthesis and accumulation of Japonica rice in cold-region and enrich the physiological basis of salt tolerance research.The paper used pot experiment to study the influence of different concentrations of salt stress on the key enzymes activities related to starch of Japonica rice in cold-region and the relationships between the changes rule in key enzymes activities and starch content, revealed the response mechanism of Japonica rice in cold-region kernel starch anabolism under salt stress,studied the effect of yield and yield components of Japonica rice in cold-region under salt stress, as well as the effect of yield formation mechanism of Japonica rice in cold-region under salt stress. The results showed that compared with the control, the activities of soluble starch synthase (SSS),ADPG pyrophosphorylase and starch branching enzyme(Q enzyme) in grain of Japonica rice in cold-region decreased under salt stress, and the contents of total starch and amylopectin in grain decreased, while the amylose content in grain increased. Meanwhile,with the increased of salt concentration, the indicators of yield components gradually declined, salt stress mainly affected the grain number per panicle and seed setting rate of MDJ30 and thus affected the yield, while LD5 was the effective panicle number and seed setting rate. When soil salt content was more than 0.075%, the theoretical yield was greatly affected. In terms of variety, compared with MDJ30, the salt-tolerance variety LD5 had relatively high starch synthase activity, which results in a higher content of starch and its components.This was beneficial to grain dry matter accumulation and ensure that its yield could still be maintained at relatively high levels under salt stress. Thus, the key enzyme activite of starch synthesis in kernel is different product of different salt-tolerant varieties responding to salt stress, the change rule and the level of its activity can be used as an indicator for salt tolerance identification.

    LRR-RLK (Leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinase) is the largest subfamily of the receptor-like protein kinase RLK family and plays an important role in regulating the plant abiotic stress. To understand the role of rice LRR-RLK member LP7 (LOC_Os05g24010) in resistance to low phosphorus stress, the full-length sequence of LP7 was cloned from rice variety Nipponbare, and its deduced amino acid sequence was analyzed to study the tissue expression pattern, subcellular localization and expression change under low phosphorus stress. The results showed that the LP7 gene was 2 832 bp in length and encoded 943 amino acids. The LP7 protein had the typical characteristics of LRR-RLK membership. The LP7 protein had high homology with the homologous protein NP_001131018 of maize, reaching to 77%. Expression patterns showed that LP7 could express in roots, stems, leaves and other tissues, but the highest in leaves. Subcellular localization result indicated that the LP7 protein was localized on the cell membrane. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that the LP7 gene was induced by low-phosphorus stress, and its expression level increased by 15 times, compared to normal culture condition. The results indicated that LP7 might have important functions in response to low phosphorus stress in rice.

    The development of floral organs is crucial for the production of crops,in which the formation of unisexual flowers by sex-determination is one of the important theoretic issues.The TASSELSEED2 gene is a JA-synthesis gene which regulates the formation of staminate flower in maize.Previous studies showed that TS2 genes of grasses might adopt new or divergent functions during evolution.In order to get insights into the divergent role of TS2,we compared the protein structure of rice TS2 with maize TS2 by bioinformatic tools.The results showed that OsTS2 encodes a typical SDR protein which contains a conserved GASGIG motif and YTASK motif.The substrate catalyzed by OsTS2 protein was also predicted to be similar with that by maize TS2 protein.We Further examined the expression pattens of OsTS2 and maize TS2 in different tissues.RNA-seq data showed that OsTS2 mainly expressed in the inflorescence of rice.In accord with JA and other hormone regulatory elements found in the promoter of OsTS2,the increased expression of OsTS2 was obviously observed by qPCR in MeJA-treated rice.Whereas,the expression of maize TS2 was mainly detected in 8-leaf stage of maize rather than in inflorescence,and its expression was not affected by exogenous methyl jasmonate.Taken together,these results provide a clue that OsTS2 might recruit a divergent role during evolution.

    The family of TGA transcription factors cooperates with NPR1 to play a very important role in dis- ease defence. A 1 995 bp sequence of the 5'UTR of a new TGA transcription factor rTGA4 was isolated from rice mutant HX- 3 genomic DNA and named pTGA, which shows 94% similarity to the genomic sequence of nipponbare. Sequence analysis of the promoter by PLACE and Plant CARE showed that the cloned fragment contained such some basic transcription element TATA and CAAT- Box, and some putative cis- elements, such as abscisic acid respon- seive, ethylene responsive, MeJA responsive, gibberellin- responsive and pathogen responsive elements. Then an ex- pression vector was constructed by connecting the pTGA with pCXGUS- T /A and it was transformed to Arabidopsis thaliana by Agrobacterium- mediated method. The transgenic plants were analyzed by PCR amplification and GUS staining. We found that GUS gene was mainly expressed in shoot tip of seedling and did not detect GUS activity in other parts, but the specific expression was lost during mature period. So we consider that the pTGA is a tissue spe- cific promoter which is regulated by growth stage. Characterization of the promoter of the rTGA4 lays a foundation for cloning the resistant gene in HX- 3 and its further application.

    In order to investigate the function of OsGRAS39 (LOC_Os10g22430.1) in rice, the expression patterns of OsGRAS39 in different tissues and under diverse abiotic stresses as well as phytohormone ABA and GA3 treatments were analyzed by qRT-PCR; and the OsGRAS39 gene knockout mutants were constructed based on CRISPR/Cas9 system. The results of qRT-PCR analysis showed that OsGRAS39 was expressed in all tissues tested. The mRNA abundance of OsGRAS39 was highest in rice seedlings, followed by young roots and leaves, while lesser in leaf sheaths, panicles, roots and stems at the heading stage. The expression of OsGRAS39 was inhibited by high temperature, while induced by low temperature, NaCl and ABA. Under the treatment of 10% PEG6000, there was no significant difference in the expression level of OsGRAS39 at all treatment time points. Under the treatment of 20 μmol/L GA3, the expression level of OsGRAS39 was down-regulated at 2-8 h and up-regulated at 24 h. In addition, the OsGRAS39 gene knockout vector pP1C.3-OsGRAS39-gRNA was successfully constructed by seamless cloning. Thirty transgenic rice lines were obtained by Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation. The sequencing results of target site showed that 8 out of 30 transgenic rice seedlings were found to have different mutation types, including 1 homozygous mutant, 5 biallelic mutants and 2 heterozygous mutants. In conclusion, OsGRAS39 may be involved in the regulation of rice resistance to high temperature, low temperature and NaCl stress. The OsGRAS39 knock-out mutants were successfully created.

    The objective of our study was making clear the salt tolerance mechanism during booting stage and providing theoretical basis for selecting the salt tolerant index. 6 rice varieties were used as experimental materials. Salt stress was performed under field growth condition for irrigating water solution prepared with NaCl. Sword leaves were sampled at booting stage to analyze the uptaking rule of Na+,K+,Ca2+and morphology and transpiration characteristic, the relationship between salt tolerance and them was also analyzed. The result showed that the salt tolerance of 6 varieties were Longdao 5 >Changbai 10 >Songjing 12 >Dongnong 425 >Mudanjiang 26 >Mudanjiang 30 in order based on the salt tolerance coefficient. Na+content in rice was increased,K+content decreased after salt stress. For salt tolerant varieties, the accumulation of Na+in aerial part was less than in root,K+in aerial part was more and having no obvious difference in root. Ca2+concentrated mainly in root and had no obvious variance for salt tolerant varieties after salt stress,but decreased obviously for sensitive varieties. The difference of sword leaf length, sword leaf width and sword leaf area between treatment and control were significant and very significant,and the damage of sword leaf for salt tolerant varieties was slight. The sword leaf of some varieties tend to curl after stress and some tend to unfold from curling, the curling dimension of salt tolerant varieties was less that of salt sensitive varieties. Chlorophyll content degraded gradually following with the decreasing of variety' s salt tolerance,had the significant or very significant difference. Salt tolerant varieties had the high transpiration rate and stomatal conduct ance after salt stress,but canopy temperature stepped up following with the decreasing of variety's salt tolerance. The relative value of K+content in aerial part, sword leaf's width,canopy temperature,Na+content in root,Ca2+ content in root, sword leaf area and transpiration efficiency during booting stage could be the index for rice salt tolerance screening and identification.

    S-c is one of the F1 pollen sterility loci between indica and japonica cultivars in rice. The genotype of Taichong 65 (T65) and Guangluai 4 (GLA 4) at the locus is Sj/Sj and Si/Si, respectively. Four indica-compatible japonica lines (ICJLs), G24163, G2417-2-1, G2605 and G3004-4 were crossed with testers, T65 and GLA 4, and their S-c locus genotypes were identified. The segregation of PCR-based molecular markers linked tightly with S-c locus and plant pollen fertility in several F2 populations showed that G2416-3 possessed Si-2/Si-2 genotype; G2605 and G3004-4 possessed Si-1/Si-1 genotype; while G2417-2-1 possessed Sn/Sn genotype. The test methods on genetic differentiation of the F1 pollen sterility loci were also discussed in this paper.
