Abstract: | GW2 is an important gene that regulates grain width and weight. We used c DNA clone to obtain the sequences of GW2 from large- and small-grained rice varieties,TD70 and Kasalath,respectively. Then,we developed a d CAPS(derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence) marker on the basis of the sequence difference between functional and nonfunctional GW2 genes to analyze the genotypes and phenotypes of recombinant inbred lines. Results showed that the sequence of GW2TD70 had a single nucleotide deletion at site 316 that generates a termination codon. This codon terminated the GW2 protein in advance. By contrast,the sequence of GW2 Kasalath encoded an intact protein. A novel d CAPS marker was designed in accordance with a base A deletion at site 316 of the sequence. After the PCR product was digested by Apo I,TD70 showed 21 and 30 bp fragments,and Kasalath showed a 51 bp fragment. Up to 82 lines contained GW2TD70,and 158 lines contained GW2 Kasalath. The lines that contained TD70 alleles displayed substantial increases in width and 1000-grain weight. This result suggested that GW2 played a critical role in rice breeding. |
