To improve the selection efficiency of restorer lines for BT-type cytoplasmic male sterility （CMS） in japonica rice, a functional marker InDeI-Rf-la based on the difference of nucleotide sequence in Rf-la locus between BT-type CMS lines and restorer lines was developed to detect the genotypes of different rice materials. Conventional indica rice varieties, restorer and maintainer lines without 574 bp deletion could restore the fertility for BT-type CMS in japonica rice. By contrast, most conventional japonica rice varieties except Aichi 106 and Yijing 12, with genotype of rf-larf-la showed the 574 bp deletion maintained sterility for BT-type CMS lines. To further verify the effect of genotyping detection in Rf-la locus, this marker was also used to amplify the genomic DNA in different japonica rice restorer lines, CMS lines, hybrids and F2 segregation population, and three genotypes in Rf-la locus could be distinguished distinctly. Therefore, the marker InDeI-Rf-la could be widely used for genetic id^ntifio.~tinn ~nd m^rkp.r-~.~.~i^fp.d .~.tAr.tinn （MA.~ in hr~=dinn i^nnnir~ r^fnr~=r lin==~展开更多
