Molecular mapping of the blast resistance genes Pi2-1 and Pi51(t) in the durably resistant rice 'Tianjingyeshengdao'

Tianjingyeshengdao' (TY) is a rice cultivar with durable resistance to populations of Magnaporthe oryzae (the causal agent of blast) in China. To understand the genetic basis of its resistance to blast, we developed a population of recombinant inbred lines from a cross between TY and the highly susceptible 'CO39' for gene mapping analysis. In total, 22 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling rice blast resistance were identified on chromosomes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, and 12 from the evaluation of four disease parameters in both greenhouse and blast nursery conditions. Among these QTLs, 19 were contributed by TY and three by CO39. Two QTL clusters on chromosome 6 and 12 were named Pi2-1 and Pi51(t), respectively. Pi2-1 was detected under both growth chamber and natural blast nursery conditions, and explained 31.24 to 59.73% of the phenotypic variation. Pi51(t) was only detected in the natural blast nursery and explained 3.67 to 10.37% of the phenotypic variation. Our results demonstrate that the durable resistance in TY is controlled by two major and seven minor genes. Identification of the markers linked to both Pi2-1 and Pi51(t) in this study should be useful for marker-aided selection in rice breeding programs as well as for molecular cloning of the identified resistance genes.

Identification and mapping of a rice blast resistance gene Pi-g(t) in the cultivar Guangchangzhan

A single dominant blast resistance gene was identified in Chinese indica rice ( Oryza sativa ) cv. Guangchangzhan (GCZ), which shows complete resistance to Japanese isolate Ken53-33 of Magnaporthe grisea . Genetic analysis of the backcross (BC₁) and second-generation (F₂) populations from a cross between susceptible cv. Lijiangxintuanheigu (LTH) and GCZ indicated that the resistance was conferred by one dominant gene. This gene was mapped on the long arm of chromosome 2 and flanked by RM166 and RM208 at distances of 4·00 ± 4·90 and 6·30 ± 4·89 cM (centiMorgans), respectively. It was designated tentatively as Pi-g(t) .     

Allelism of rice blast resistance genes in two Chinese rice cultivars, and identification of two new resistance genes

Blast, caused by Pyricularia grisea , is a major constraint on rice production. To broaden genetic diversity for resistance to this disease, two rice cultivars, GA20 and GA25 from Yunnan Province, China, were analysed for the genetic basis of their high resistance to blast. GA20 was crossed with 10 Japanese differential cultivars, and GA25 was crossed with nine of them and with the susceptible Chinese cultivar Lijiangxintuanheigu (LTH). The resistance of GA20 was governed by two dominant genes allelic to genes at the Pi-k and Pi-ta loci. The allele at the Pi-k locus was new, based on a reaction pattern different from known alleles at this locus. It could not be shown whether or not the allele at the Pi-ta locus is new, because races with virulence for Pi-ta were not tested. GA25 has one resistance gene, which is not allelic to genes at the loci Pi-a , Pi-k , Pi-z , Pi-ta , Pi-b , and Pi-t , but is linked to the Pi-i gene on chromosome 9 with a recombination frequency of 15.1 ± 2.8%.
The new allele at the Pi-k locus in GA20 is designated as Pi-k^g (t), and the new resistance gene in GA25 as Pi15(t) .     

Molecular identification of blast resistance genes in rice landraces from northeastern India

Rice blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most devastating diseases causing huge losses worldwide. In the present study, major blast resistance genes were investigated in landraces originating from northeastern India. Based on phenotypic evaluation, 288 landraces were classified into three distinct groups: resistant (75), moderately resistant (127) and susceptible (86). The genetic frequencies of the 18 major blast resistance genes were between 6.2% and 27.4%, with only two genotypes possessing a maximum of nine blast resistance genes. The cluster and population structure analysis grouped the landraces into two groups. Through principal coordinate analysis, the scatter plots partitioned the resistant and moderately resistant landraces into different groups. Analysis of molecular variance showed maximum (96%) diversity within populations and least (4%) diversity between populations. Association analysis identified six markers, CRG4_2, RM72, tk59-2, pi21_79-3, RM1233 and RM6648, that are significantly associated with blast disease and explained a phenotypic variance of 1.1–6.5%. The associated genes could be used in marker-assisted rice breeding programmes for gene pyramiding to develop rice varietal resistance against blast disease. The present study represents a valuable blast resistance genetic resource that could be used for identification of new R genes, donors for blast resistance, and genomic studies.     

A new blast resistance gene identified in the Indian native rice cultivar Aus373 through allelism and linkage tests

Blast, caused by Pyricularia grisea , is a major constraint on rice production. To widen genetic diversity for disease resistance, the Indian native rice cultivar Aus373 was screened by F₂ segregation analyses to investigate the genetic basis of its high resistance. Aus373 was crossed with a series of Japanese differential cultivars (JDCs) and the Chinese susceptible cultivar Lijiangxintuanheigu (LTH). The resistance ratios of subsequent F₂ progenies were used to determine the number of blast-resistance loci present as well as allelic relationships with known loci. Resistance of Aus373 was governed by dominant alleles at two loci, one at the Pi-k locus and the second apparently at a new locus linked to an isozyme gene Amp-1 with a recombination fraction of 37.9 ± 3.0% on chromosome 2. This putative new locus and allele were designated Pi16 (t).     

Lesion-based analysis of leaf blast suppression in mixture of rice cultivar and a resistant near-isogenic line

Leaf blast suppression in multilines was evaluated based on the number of susceptible lesions observed in a pure stand of susceptible rice cultivar Sasanishiki, and in 1 : 1 and 1 : 3 mixtures of Sasanishiki and a resistant near-isogenic line, Sasanishiki BL4 or BL7, from 1998 to 2001. The number of lesions first observed in fields in the 1 : 1 and 1 : 3 mixtures were close to theoretical numbers calculated using the number of lesions observed in the pure stands and the ratios of the susceptible Sasanishiki in the mixtures. The ratio of the number of lesions in the 1 : 1 and 1 : 3 mixtures to the number in the pure stand was 0.29 and 0.09, respectively. The relationship between these ratios and the ratios of susceptible Sasanishiki in mixtures was defined in an equation to estimate the degree of leaf blast suppression. Validation studies for the ratios of the number of lesions in the 1 : 1 and 1 : 3 mixtures to the number in the pure stand were conducted in two different locations and showed that the ratios are almost acceptable. The calculated autoinfection to alloinfection ratio was 1.3 and 1.4 in the 1 : 1 and 1 : 3 mixtures, respectively, suggesting that the calculated ratio will affect the degree of leaf blast suppression. Thus, predictors were obtained to estimate leaf blast suppression for effective blast control in multilines.     

Identification of a new resistance gene to a chinese blast fungus isolate in the Japanese rice cultivar aichi asahi

ABSTRACT Genetic analysis of the rice cultivar Aichi Asahi and some other Japanese cultivars for the high resistance to the blast fungus isolate CHNOS58-3-1 from China was performed. All the Japanese differential cultivars were resistant to the isolate except for 'Pi No. 4', which showed moderate resistance. Analysis of the F(2) population of a cross of the susceptible cultivar Reiho and the resistant cultivar Aichi Asahi indicated that the resistance of 'Aichi Asahi' to the isolate was conferred by one dominant gene. To identify the gene in other Japanese differential cultivars, AK lines, which were derived from a cross of 'Aichi Asahi' x 'K59' and assumed to harbor no known genes except for the new one, were used for the allelism tests. The new, completely dominant resistance gene was detected in 14 differential cultivars, but not in 'Pi No. 4', 'Yashiro-mochi', and 'K1', and was designated as Pi19(t). Pi19(t) was allelic or closely linked to Pita(2) on chromosome 12. Pi19(t) was extensively distributed among Japanese traditional local cultivars.     

Vertical distribution of leaf blast lesions in mixtures of rice cultivar Sasanishiki and its resistant near-isogenic line

The vertical distribution of leaf blast lesions caused by the fungus Pyricularia grisea was studied to estimate the degree of leaf blast suppression in rice multilines in experimental paddy fields for 4 years. Leaf blast in 1 : 1 and 1 : 3 mixtures of susceptible rice cultivar Sasanishiki and its resistant near-isogenic line, Sasanishiki BL7, developed slower than that in pure stands of Sasanishiki. The average distance of lesions on leaves from the ground in the 1 : 3 mixtures was significantly lower than that in the pure stands at the end of leaf blast epidemics (at booting stage). This result shows that the distribution of leaf blast lesions in the upper layer differs between the susceptible pure stands and the 1 : 3 mixtures at the end of leaf blast epidemics.

Pi34-AVRPi34: a new gene-for-gene interaction for partial resistance in rice to blast caused by Magnaporthe grisea

The japonica rice (Oryza sativa) cultivar Chubu 32 has a high level of partial resistance to blast, which is mainly controlled by a dominant resistance gene located on chromosome 11. The partial resistance to the rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe grisea) in Chubu 32 has isolate specificity; isolate IBOS8-1-1 is more aggressive on Chubu 32 than are other isolates. We hypothesized that the gene-for-gene relationship fits this case of a partial resistance gene in Chubu 32 against the avirulence gene in the pathogen. The partial resistance gene in Chubu 32 was mapped between DNA markers C1172 (and three other co-segregated markers) and E2021 and was designated Pi34. In the 32 F₃ lines from the cross between a chromosome segment substitution line (Pi34⁻) from Koshihikari/Kasalath and Chubu 32, the lines with high levels of partial resistance to the M. grisea isolate Y93-245c-2 corresponded to the presence of Pi34 estimated by graphic genotyping. This indicated that Pi34 has partial resistance to isolate Y93-245c-2 in compatible interactions. The 69 blast isolates from the F₁ progeny produced by the cross between Y93-245c-2 and IBOS8-1-1 were tested for aggressiveness on Chubu 32 and rice cultivar Koshihikari (Pi34⁻). The progeny segregated at a 1 : 1 ratio for strong to weak aggressiveness on Chubu 32. The results suggested that Y93-245c-2 has one gene encoding avirulence to Pi34 (AVRPi34), and IBOS8-1-1 is extremely aggressive on Chubu 32 because of the absence of AVRPi34. This is the first report of a gene-for-gene relationship between a fungal disease resistance gene associated with severity of disease and pathogen aggressiveness.

Identification of avirulence genes in the rice blast fungus corresponding to three resistance genes in Japanese differentials

The pathogenicity of progeny from crosses among three Chinese isolates of Magnaporthe grisea collected from rice was tested on three Japanese differentials (Ishikarishiroke, Aichiasahi, K 59) having the blast resistance genes Pii, Pia, and Pit, respectively. Monogenic control was demonstrated for avirulence to the differentials. To identify resistance genes corresponding to the avirulence genes, the resistance and susceptibility in F₃ lines of the cultivars in response to the parents of the crosses were analyzed genetically. The three avirulence genes identified, designated Avr-Pii, Avr-Pia, and Avr-Pit, appear to correspond to resistance genes Pii, Pia, and Pit, respectively. The monogenic control of avirulence in the fungus and monogenic dominant resistance in rice cultivars supports a gene-for-gene relation in the Pii-, Pia-, or Pit-dependent resistance to the rice blast fungus in rice cultivars.

Genetic and physical mapping of the partial resistance gene, pi34, to blast in rice

ABSTRACT Partial resistance to rice blast in the Oryza sativa japonica group cv. Chubu 32 is controlled by Pi34, a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 11, and several uncharacterized QTLs. The objectives of the study were (i) high-resolution genetic and physical mapping of Pi34 and (ii) identification of new QTL imparting resistance to rice blast. Chubu 32 was crossed with a susceptible chromosomal segment substitution line (CSSL) of cv. Koshihikari. From 4,012 of segregating individuals, 213 recombinants in the Pi34 region were screened by using polymerase chain reaction-based markers and tested resistance in the field and greenhouse. The Pi34 locus is located in the 54.1-kb region on the genomic sequence of cv. Nipponbare. We constructed a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library of Chubu 32, selected the clone containing Pi34, and sequenced it. The Pi34 locus consequently was located on an interval of 65.3 kb containing 10 predicted open reading frames (ORFs). Two of these ORFs were predicted only in Chubu 32 and encoded transposable elements. The other eight ORFs were found in both Chubu 32 and Nipponbare and one of them, which encoded an unknown protein, showed significantly different amino acid sequences between two cultivars. The new QTL, Piq6(t), was detected on the short arm of chromosome 6 and the genetic distance of flanking markers was 16.9 centimorgans in Nipponbare. Pi34 and Piq6(t) acted additively on resistance to rice blast but the effect of Piq6(t) was relatively small compared with Pi34.
