寒地早粳品种对稻米品质的影响

以近几年主栽的水稻品种为试材,采取相关统计分析和对比试验等方法,研究了水稻品种对早粳稻米品质的影响,旨在为寒地稻作区优质米品种的选育和高产栽培提供理论依据和技术支持。研究取得如下主要结果：（1）不同熟期碾米品质的3项指标中,糙米率的平均值分别为83.1%、82.9%、83.1%、83.0%;精米率的平均值分别为71.9%、71.9%、72.0%、73.0%。不同品种的糙米率,不同熟期间差异很小,晚熟品种的精米率略高于早熟和中熟品种,品种间表现有差异。不同熟期的整精米率的平均值分别为61.7%、61.7%、66.5%、67.2%,晚熟品种比早熟和中熟品种高,品种间差异较大。早熟和中熟品种的整精米率变异系数较晚熟品种增加1.2个百分点,说明品种间差异较大。稻米垩白米率与胶稠度（0.0566）呈正相关,这一点与（李雅娟,1995）的研究结果一致。垩白米率与精米率（-0.4827）呈显著负相关,因此,在育种上筛选垩白米率低的种质资源是关键。（2）直链淀粉含量是影响稻米食味品质的最重要指标之一,很多研究认为,直链淀粉含量偏高影响稻米食味品质（佐佐木忠雄,等．1982）。关于直链淀粉含量姬田正美（1996）研究认为,直链淀粉含量越高,稻米食味越差。本研究结果直链淀粉含量一般在16.67%~22.40%,平均含量为18.8%,品种间差异较大。直链淀粉含量与蛋白质含量（-0.8207）呈极显著负相关。     

镉胁迫对不同抗性水稻品种幼苗生长和生理特性的影响

以耐镉性不同的两个水稻品种（水稻秀水63和秀水09）为试验材料,采用溶液培养方法,研究不同浓度镉（0、1、5、10、25、50、100μmol/L-1）对水稻幼苗生长和生理特性的影响。结果表明：随Cd浓度增加水稻幼苗生长明显受抑,株高、叶绿素含量、叶片干重明显下降,且秀水63的下降幅度大于秀水09。总体上,脯氨酸含量、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）活性均呈上升趋势,其中,在较低浓度Cd胁迫下,秀水63叶片中脯氨酸含量、POD活性增加幅度较大,而在较高浓度Cd胁迫下,秀水09的增加幅度较大。过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性表现为先上升后下降。丙二醛（MDA）含量随着Cd胁迫浓度的提高而增加, 且增加幅度秀水63大于秀水09。从实验结果表明,秀水09对Cd胁迫的抗性大于秀水63。     

Cytoplasmically controlled cold tolerance in a cytoplasmic-genetic male sterile line of rice

Summary The cytoplasmic-genetic male sterile line, Krishna-A with Kalinga-I cytoplasm was developed in rice through repeated backcrossing the completely pollen sterile F₁ of the cross Kalinga-I/Krishna with the recurrent male parent cv. Krishna. The germination percentage and root-shoot length in Krishna-A at 12°C and 9°C indicated a higher degree of tolerance to low temperature than the cold tolerant female parent Kalinga-I. The high yielding cold tolerant variety Kalinga-I was developed from a cross involving the cold tolerant variety Dunghansali and the high yielding variety IR 8. It is inferred that tolerance to low temperature during germination in Krishna-A was inherited from the cytoplasm of cv. Dunghansali through Kalinga-I besides male sterility. The cytoplasmic control of cold tolerance is reported here for the first time in rice literature. The male sterile line Krishna-A because of its tolerance to low temperature would be suitable for the development of hybrid rice especially for areas where low temperature is a problem during germination.

多胚水稻是进行水稻无融合生殖研究的重要材料,通过对3个多胚水稻品系的去颖壳种子进行萌发试验,发现用适宜浓度的Zn~(2+)浸种催芽使3个品系的双苗率普遍提高,其中以1×10~(-5)M浓度最为明显,使双-3的双苗率由30.9%提高到41.8%,其他2个品系也有较大的提高。     

Genetic variation of germination cold tolerance in Japanese rice germplasm

Low temperatures at the initial stages of rice development prevent fast germination and seedling establishment and may cause significant productivity losses. In order to develop rice cultivars exhibiting cold tolerance, it is necessary to investigate genetic resources, providing basic knowledge to allow the introduction of genes involved in low temperature germination ability from accessions into elite cultivars. Japanese rice accessions were evaluated at the germination under two conditions: 13°C for 28 days (cold stress) and 28°C for seven days (optimal temperature). The traits studied were coleoptile and radicle length under optimal temperature, coleoptile and radicle length under cold and percentage of the reduction in coleptile and radicle length due to low temperature. Among the accessions studied, genetic variation for traits related to germination under low temperatures was observed and accessions exhibiting adequate performance for all investigated traits were identified. The use of multivariate analysis allowed the identification of the genotypes displaying cold tolerance by smaller reductions in coleoptile and radicle lenght in the presence of cold and high vigour, by higher coleoptile and radicle growth under cold.     

ITRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of japonica rice seedling during cold stress

Low temperature is one of the important environmental factors that affect rice growth and yield. To better understand the japonica rice responses to cold stress, isobaric tags for a relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) labeling-based quantitative proteomics approach was used to detected changes in protein levels. Two-week-old seedlings of the cold tolerant rice variety Kongyu131 were treated at 8°C for 24, 48 and 72 h, then the total proteins were extracted from tissues and used for quantitative proteomics analysis. A total of 5082 proteins were detected for quantitative analysis, of which 289 proteins were significantly regulated, consisting of 169 uniquely up-regulated proteins and 125 uniquely down-regulated proteins in cold stress groups relative to the control group. Functional analysis revealed that most of the regulated proteins are involved in photosynthesis, metabolic pathway, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and carbon metabolism. Western blot analysis showed that protein regulation was consistent with the iTRAQ data. The corresponding genes of 25 regulated proteins were used for quantitative real time PCR analysis, and the results showed that the mRNA level was not always parallel to the corresponding protein level. The importance of our study is that it provides new insights into cold stress responses in rice with respect to proteomics and provides candidate genes for cold-tolerance rice breeding.     

A novel procedure for raising rice seedlings and its potential application for mass-screening of rice strains for salt tolerance

Summary A soilless culture system is described whereby all the necessary steps of raising rice seedlings, including seeding, surface-sterilization, germination and growing of seedlings, can be conveniently achieved within a small plastic container. The system is especially suited for experiments with massive number of entries and can e.g. be used for screening of rice genotypes for salt tolerance.     

Genetical and morphological characterization of cold tolerance at fertilization stage in rice

Cold temperature during the reproductive phase leads to seed sterility, which reduces yield and decreases the grain quality of rice. The fertilization stage, ranging from pollen maturation to the completion of fertilization, is sensitive to unsuitable temperature. Improving cold tolerance at the fertilization stage (CTF) is an important objective of rice breeding program in cold temperature areas. In this study, we characterized fertilization behavior under cold temperature to define the phenotype of CTF and identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for CTF. A wide variation in CTF levels has been identified among local cultivars in Hokkaido, which is one of the most northern regions for rice cultivation in the world. Clear varietal differences in pollen germination, and pollen tube elongation due to cold temperature have been observed. These differences may confer a degree of CTF among this population. We conducted QTL analysis for CTF using 120 backcrossed inbred lines derived from a cross between Eikei88223 (vigorous CTF) and Suisei (very weak CTF). Three QTLs for CTF were identified. A clear effect by QTL, qCTF7, for increasing the level of CTF was validated using advanced progeny. These results will facilitate marker-assist selection for desirable QTLs for CTF in rice breeding program.     

Overexpression of cold-inducible wheat galactinol synthase confers tolerance to chilling stress in transgenic rice

Galactinol synthase (GolS) is considered to be a key regulator of the biosynthesis of Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs). Accumulation of RFOs has been reported to play a role in protection against abiotic stresses. We identified two cDNAs encoding galactinol synthase from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), which we designated as TaGolS1 and TaGolS2. Expression of the two TaGolS genes was induced by cold stress but not by drought, heat stress or ABA treatment in wheat. We generated transgenic lines of rice (Oryza sativa L.) constitutively overexpressing TaGolS1 or TaGolS2. These transgenic plants accumulated significantly higher levels of galactinol and raffinose than did wild-type plants and exhibited enhanced cold-stress tolerance. The results demonstrate the involvement of galactinol and raffinose in the development of chilling stress in rice and indicate that the genetic modification of the biosynthesis of RFOs by transformation with GolS genes could be an effective method for enhancing chilling-stress tolerance in rice.     

河北省地方水（陆）稻品种耐逆性研究

QTL pyramiding for improving of cold tolerance at fertilization stage in rice

Vigorous cold tolerance at the fertilization stage (CTF) is a very important characteristic for stable rice production in cold temperature conditions. Because CTF is a quantitatively inherited trait, pyramiding quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using marker-assisted selection (MAS) is effective for improving CTF levels in rice breeding programs. We previously identified three QTLs controlling CTF, qCTF7, qCTF8 and qCTF12, using backcrossed inbred lines derived from a cross between rice cultivar Eikei88223 (vigorous CTF) and Suisei (very weak CTF). However, pyramiding of these QTLs for the application of MAS in practical rice breeding programs have not yet been elucidated. In this study, we examined the effect of pyramiding QTLs for improvement of CTF level using eight possible genotype classes from the 152 F₃ population derived from a cross between Eikei88223 and Suisei. Increasing of CTF levels in combinations between qCTF7 and qCTF12 and between qCTF8 and qCTF12 were detected. Furthermore, we compared the haplotype pattern around the QTLs for CTF among the rice cultivars from Hokkaido. These results are useful for improvement of new cultivars with high CTF levels using MAS and identification of genetic resources with the novel QTL(s) for CTF.     

Feasibility of selection for traits associated with cold tolerance in rice under rapid generation advance method

Summary Variability of the hybrid population can be preserved through generations during the process of rapid generation advance (RGA). Effective selection can be done in an early generation for those traits having high heritability value like growth duration and plant height. But selection is not advantageous for traits having low heritability. Thus, selection for panicle exsertion, cold tolerance at seedling stage and panicle length would not be wise during the early generations. However, in the low temperature areas growth duration and plant height are two important factors which determine varietal suitability. As selection of these two characters are possible through RGA, it should be a standard parctice during RGA to eliminate the plants with long growth duration and select plants with optimum plant height.     

A major QTL associated with cold tolerance at seedling stage in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Chilling injury is one of the most important limiting factors affecting rice production in temperate and high-elevation areas. In this study, 146 microsatellite markers were employed to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring cold tolerance at seedling stage (CTS) .The mapping population consisted of 193 doubled haploid (DH) lines, which derived from a cross between a cold-tolerant japonica variety (AAV002863) and a cold-sensitive indica cultivar (Zhenshan97B). Tolerance to cold was assessed by the survival percentage of seedlings after cold treatment. In a climate chamber, after treatment at 6°C/10°C for 7 d, the measurement was taken on the sixth day of the recovery stage at room temperature. The phenotypic distribution of the DH population approximately fitted normality with skewness and kurtosis less than 0.3, and the difference among the three repetitions was not significant. Five main effect QTLs were identified with LOD > 4.0 on chromosomes 1, 2, 8 using a composite interval mapping approach. The accumulated contribution of the five QTLs was 62.28%, and a major QTL (LOD = 15.09) was identified on chromosome 2 flanked by RM561 and RM341, which explained 27.42% of the total phenotypic variation. Four significant epistatic interactions were also detected with a total contribution of 20.14%. Liang Chen and Qiaojun Lou had made the equal contribution for the research.     

Simultaneous improvement in cold tolerance and yield of temperate japonica rice (Oryza sativa L.) by introgression breeding

To combine high yield and improved cold tolerance (CT) in a japonica rice variety, ‘Chaoyou1’ (CY1), 324 BC₂F₅ introgression lines (ILs) selected for CT from 11 CY1 BC₂F₄ populations were evaluated in replicated experiments for their CT at the reproductive and seedling stages. A mean realized heritability of 0.747 was achieved in this study for CT. Evaluation of 116 ILs from five BC populations in replicated experiments under stress and normal conditions identified 18 promising ILs that had greatly improved CT and yield compared with CY1. Detailed comparisons between the ILs and CY1 for CT and yield‐related traits under stress and non‐stress conditions provided useful information and better understanding of important issues such as donor selection, selection efficiency and associated changes in non‐target traits in the BC breeding process. The large numbers of CT ILs developed provide useful materials for genetic, physiological and molecular dissection of CT and yield traits using DNA markers and ‐omic tools, and as parents for further improving these traits by designed QTL pyramiding.     

Inheritacne of submergence tolerance in rice

Summary Inheritance of submergence tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.) was investigated in an 8×8 diallel cross. Duration to 50% mortality of the diallel populations (F₁'s + parents) under completely submerged conditions at the seedling stage was used to characterize submergence tolerance instead of the usual submergence survival percentages.A strong prepotency of parents was found in transmitting the character to their offspring. Additive and nonadditive gene effects were highly significant. Parents highly tolerant to submergence also had high gca effects, and F₁'s between two tolerant parents were found to be the most tolerant of the diallel combinations. A high narrow-sense heritability was also observed.The additive-dominance model was found valid for this diallel cross. Submergence tolerance was partially dominant over susceptibility and recessive alleles were more concentrated in the susceptible parents IR42 and IR11288-B-B-69-1.     

Divergent recurrent selection for cold tolerance in two improved maize populations

Maize (Zea mays L.) production has significantly expanded into very short-season environments where germination and growth in cooler environments is essentially a pre-requisite. Therefore, an important goal for maize breeders is to improve local germplasm sources of inbred lines that are able to grow under these challenging conditions. The objective of this research was to evaluate direct and correlated responses in two improved early maturing maize populations [NDSCD(M)C10 and BS22(R)C7] after two cycles of S₁ and full-sib intra-population recurrent selection for cold tolerance. The S₁ and full-sib progenies were obtained by self-pollinating 100 random plants and by intercrossing 200 random plants, respectively. Ten percent of the families were selected, based on an index that included emergence percentage, seedling vigor, and root lodging percentage, and recombined at the same time in a summer nursery based upon data across northern North Dakota locations. The essential benefit of this breeding methodology was to achieve one year per cycle of selection based upon progenies. However, direct response to selection was not significant while some correlated responses were significant. We decided to report these results in order to encourage other scientists the evaluation of additional sources of germplasm, the screening at various dates, and the selection of target environments with more intensive cold stress before initiating long-term selection programs for cold tolerance. In addition, further research on the current and alternative long-term selection methods for cold tolerance is recommended for continuous genetic improvement of advanced cycles in the northern U.S. Corn Belt.

基于高密度SNP遗传图谱的粳稻芽期耐低温QTL鉴定

水稻直播由于省时、省工和节约成本而备受农户关注。然而,芽期耐冷性不强致使现行推广的许多优良水稻品种不适于直播生产。因此,挖掘鉴定芽期耐冷位点,为后续的辅助育种提供基因资源就日益受到重视。本研究利用丽江新团黑谷和沈农265构建的重组自交系群体及其重测序构建的包含2818个bin标记的遗传图谱对水稻芽期的耐冷性进行QTL定位分析。共检测到5个芽期耐冷QTL,分布在水稻的1号、3号、9号和11号染色体上,增效等位基因均来自耐冷亲本丽江新团黑谷。这些QTL的LOD值的范围从3.05到24.01,表型贡献率为8.0%～53.5%。其中,表型贡献率最大的主效QTL是qCTB11b,位于11号染色体长臂端的21.24 Mb～22.03 Mb之间,物理图谱区间为790 kb。随后利用"选择作图"的策略进行了QTL验证和累加效应分析,明确了可以通过QTL的累加聚合实现芽期耐冷能力的遗传改良,聚合的增效QTL越多,耐冷能力提升越明显。上述研究结果不仅可以增强人们对芽期水稻耐冷能力遗传基础的认识和理解,也可以为后续直播品种的遗传改良提供理论依据和技术指导。     

Marker-assisted introgression of QTLs for yield under moisture stress into elite varieties of rice (Oryza sativa)

Rice production is severely constrained by the moisture stress. The present study was undertaken to transfer two important QTLs viz., (qDTY2.2 and qDTY4.1), which controls yield under moisture stress (DTY) into two elite varieties, that is, MTU1010 and NLR34449 through marker-assisted breeding. Foreground and background selections of backcross generations, that is, BC₁F₁, BC₂F₁ and BC₂F₂ identified several promising introgression lines (ILs) with two QTLs and single QTLs with an appreciable level of recovery of recipient parent genome. In ILs, the recovery of MTU1010 genome content was estimated to be 83%–93% while the recovery of NLR34449 was 84%–92%. The two-QTL ILs of MTU1010 and NLR34449 backgrounds (qDTY2.2 and qDTY4.1) have shown substantial yield advantage (32 to 84%) over the single-QTL ILs (either qDTY2.2 or qDTY4.1) under moisture stress conditions. Among all, two ILs, MBC-124 and NBC-127 are the best high yielding lines under moisture stress conditions. These outyielded ILs have the potential to be released as varieties in rainfed ecosystem and also can be used as donors in the existing breeding programme in rice.
