Comparative Analysis of the 100 kb Region Containing the Pi-kh Locus Between indica and japonica Rice Lines

چکیده
We have recently cloned a pathogen inducible blast resistance gene Pi-k(h) from the indica rice line Tetep using a positional cloning approach. In this study, we carried out structural organization analysis of the Pi-k(h) locus in both indica and japonica rice lines. A 100 kb region containing 50 kb upstream and 50 kb downstream sequences flanking to the Pi-k(h) locus was selected for the investigation. A total of 16 genes in indica and 15 genes in japonica were predicted and annotated in this region. The average GC content of indica and japonica genes in this region was 53.15% and 49.3%, respectively. Both indica and japonica sequences were polymorphic for simple sequence repeats having mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, and pentanucleotides. Sequence analysis of the specific blast resistant Pi-k(h) allele of Tetep and the susceptible Pi-k(h) allele of the japonica rice line Nipponbare showed differences in the number and distribution of motifs involved in phosphorylation, resulting in the resistance phenotype in Tetep.

Natural Variation at the Pi-ta Rice Blast Resistance Locus.
ABSTRACT The resistance gene Pi-ta protects rice crops against the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe grisea expressing the avirulence gene AVR-Pita in a gene-for-gene manner. Pi-ta, originally introgressed into japonica rice from indica origin, was previously isolated by positional cloning. In this study, we report the nucleotide sequence of a 5,113-base pair region containing a japonica susceptibili...
متن کاملIndica and Japonica Crosses Resulting in Linkage Block and Recombination Suppression on Rice Chromosome 12
Understanding linkage block size and molecular mechanisms of recombination suppression is important for plant breeding. Previously large linkage blocks ranging from 14 megabases to 27 megabases were observed around the rice blast resistance gene Pi-ta in rice cultivars and backcross progeny involving an indica and japonica cross. In the present study, the same linkage block was further examined...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of the wx flanking region in rice landraces in northern Laos
A glutinous texture of endosperm is one of the important traits of rice (Oyza sativa L.). Northern Laos is known as a center of glutinous rice diversity. We genotyped INDEL, SSR and SNP markers in a sample of 297 rice landraces collected in northern Laos. These glutinous varieties were confirmed to share a loss-of-function mutation in Granule bound starch synthase I (Wx). INDEL markers revealed...
متن کاملPaleo-Green Revolution for rice.
A central element of the Green Revolution was the widespread adoption of semidwarf rice cultivars (SRCs) that more than doubled worldwide rice production (1). The high-yield potentials of modern SRCs are attributed primarily to their improved harvest index, lodging resistance, and responsiveness to high inputs (primarily nitrogen and water) (1–3), contributing to their adoption in irrigated are...
متن کاملDevelopment and molecular characterization of a doubled haploid population derived from a hybrid between japonica rice and wide compatible indica rice
Doubled haploid (DH) populations, particularly those from subspecies crosses possessing the wide compatible gene S5n , are important germplasm resources for rice genetic studies and breeding, but their feature and potential have not been fully assessed and explored. In the present study, we produced a DH population from the hybrid of japonica 668B and wide compatible indica T23. Genotyping of t...
