Mapping of S-b Locus for F_1 Pollen Sterility in Cultivated Rice Using PCR Based Markers

In cultivated rice ( Oryza sativa L.), F-1 pollen sterility is controlled by at least 6 loci of the F, pollen sterility genes. To map S-b, one of loci, rice variety Taichung 65 (T65) carrying S-b(j)/S-b(j) and its near-isogenic line TIST2 carrying S-b(i)/S-b(i) were used to develop the mapping population. One hundred and fifty-eight microsatellite markers were selected to survey T65 and TISL2. RM13 on chromosome 5 was found to be polymorphic between them. Cosegregation indicated that RM13 was closely linked with locus S-b. Eleven RFLP markers were selected on the corresponding region from the genetic map of Rice Genome Research Program (RGP) of Japan to convert into sequence-tagged site (STS) markers. Amplicon length polymorphism (ALP) was carried out, but none of them was found to be polymorphic between T65 and TISL2. Then PCR-based RFLP (PBR) was done using six 4-nucleotide recognizing restriction endonucleases. Polymorphism was detected when PCR products of R830STS and R2213SSTS were digested with Taq I. Genetic analysis indicated that the distance between locus S-b and markers, R830STS, RM13 and R2213SSTS were 3.3 cM (centi-Morgan), 5.2 cM and 5.5 cM, respectively. These PCR-based markers could be directly used in marker-assisted selection. The technical system combining genetic mapping and PCR-based marker-assisted selection will facilitate the development of molecular breeding.

QTL Analysis of Grain Storage Durability for Maize Under Controlled Deterioration Conditions Using SSR Markers

[Objective] This study aimed to analyze the quantitative trait loci （QTLs） of grain storage durability for maize under controlled deterioration conditions by using SSR markers. [Method] The recombinant inbred line population F 2 derived from the cross of shen 137/02-50 was used to do the simple sequence repeats （SSRs） and QTL analysis. [Result] The 2 parents showed good polymorphisms. Three loci were detected on chromosome 1, chromosome 6 and chromosome 9, accounting for 41.2% of total phenotypic. [Conclusion] This study provided theoretical basis for using molecular marker to assist the breeding of storage durable maize varieties.

Molecular Tagging of a New Resistance Gene to Maize Dwarf Mosaic Virus Using Microsatellite Markers

With joint analysis based on the parents, F 1, F 2 and backcrosses, the authors found that the resistance of the maize inbred line Huangzaosi to the maize dwarf mosaic virus strain B was conditioned by a major gene and polygene, and identified a new major gene. Bulked segregate and microsatellite analysis of a F 2 progeny from the combination of Huangzaosi×Mo17 were used to identify the resistance gene, mdm1(t), on the long arm of chromosome 6. This new resistance gene is tightly linked to and located between the microsatellite markers loci, phi077 and bnlg391. The linkage distances between phi077-mdm1(t) and mdm1(t)-bnlg391 are 4.74 centiMorgan (cM) and 6.72 cM respectively.

Genetic Comparison among Rhynchophorus ferrugineus and Four Rhynchophorus Species

Genetic comparison between Rhynchophorus ferrugineus （Coleoptera： Curculionidae： Rhynchophorinae） and other four Rhynchophorus spp. such as R. bilineatus, R. phoenicis, R. cruentatus and R. palmarum was investigated using partial sequences of Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I （COl） mitochondrial gene. The number ofpolymorphic sites ranged from 79 to 102 while the genetic distances ranged from 0.058 to 0.095. The number of polymorphic sites, genetic distances and phylogenetic relationships among R. ferrugineus and the other four tested species revealed that R.ferrugineus was more closely related to R. bilineatus while it was distantly related to R. palmarum. It is possible to rank the five tested species as follows： R.ferrugineus, R. bilineatus, R. phoenicis, R. cruentatus and R. palmarum. The result of this study is the first step of the revision of the uncertain taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationships among the Rhynchophorus genus. Further analysis should be performed using other Rhynchophorus species as well as other molecular markers.

Evaluation of Barley Genotypes for Resistance to Pyrenophora Teres Using Molecular Markers

Net blotch disease caused by the fungus Pyrenophora teres belongs to the complex of leaf blotch diseases that decrease the yield and the quality of barley （Hordeum vulgate L.）. This study deals with the use of microsatellites localized nearby the quantitative trait loci, associated with the resistance to P. teres to screen barley lines and varieties that could be introduced into a net blotch resistance breeding program. Thirty-five barley microsatellite loci and 65 barley genotypes, 265 alleles were detected. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 26. The arrangement of genotypes into clusters based on microsatellite data does not correspond to their resistance level to P. teres even though chosen microsatellite markers have been localized nearby QTLs associated with the resistance to P. teres.

High-throughput development of genome-wide locus-specific informative SSR markers in wheat

Dear Editor,Although simple sequence repeat（SSR）markers are not new,they are still useful and often used markers in molecular mapping and marker-assisted breeding,particularly in developing countries.However,locus-specific SSR markers could be more useful and informative in wheat breeding and genetic studies.In the present study,221,911 locus-specific SSR markers were designed.Verification of polymorphisms showed that the proportion of polymorphic markers increases with an increase in SSR size.
