    The research progresses on genetics of photoperiod and/or temperature sensitive genic male sterility \[P(T)GMS\] in rice were reviewed. A new idea for explaining the sterility mechanism of P(T)GMS rice was proposed. The fertility transition from sterile to fertile phase was the result of cooperative regulation of majoreffect sterile genes with the photoperiod and/or temperature sensitive genes for plant development, but not the socalled pgms gene in P(T)GMS rice. The minoreffect genes, which exhibited accumulative effect for sterility, were the important factors that affect the critical temperature for sterility. The more minoreffect genes the sterile line held, the lower the critical temperature for sterility was. The critical temperature for sterility should be invariable if whole minoreffect genes were homozygous. The strategies for breeding photoperiod/thermosensitive genic male sterile rice were also put forward. The selective indexes of critical photoperiod and temperature for fertility transition should be set according to varietal type and ecological region. Adding selection pressures was the key technology to breed P(T)GMS rice with lower critical temperature for sterility. Improving the comprehensive performance of the whole traits and combining ability was vital for breeding photoperiod/thermosensitive genic male sterile rice line.

    Many rice spottedleaf mutants are ideal sources for understanding the mechanisms involved in blast resistance, bacterial blight resistance and programmed cell death in plants. The genetic controls of 49 spottedleaf mutants in rice have been characterized and a few couple of spl/Spl genes have been isolated as well. This article reviews on the origin, genetic modes, isolation and characterization of spottedleaf genes responsible for their phenotypes, and their resistance responses to main rice diseases.

    For investigating the feasibility of applying HL type male sterile cytoplasm to japonica hybrid rice breeding, a set of isonuclear alloplasmic cytoplasmic male sterile(CMS) lines(A lines) of Liuqianxin, including four different cytoplasms from Indian Chinsurah BoroⅡ(BT type), Hainan red awned wild rice(HL type), Hunan Chaling wild rice(CL type) and Hainan male sterile wild rice (WA type), and the maintainer line(B line), were used to make testcross F1 with 181 japonica parents including BT type restorer lines(R lines), wide compatible restorer lines(WCR lines), wide compatible varieties(WCVs), Yunnan rice landraces and other japonica varieties/lines. According to the spikelet fertility of testcross F1, japonica R lines for HL type male sterile cytoplasm had been selected. Then, the selected japonica R lines were testcrossed with three HL type CMS lines(including Liuqianxin A, Lingxiang A and Zhen 5A) and used to make japonica hybrid rice combinations. The results showed that the HL type CMS line and CL type CMS line were most similar on restorermaintainer relationship with a significant correlation between the spikelet fertility of testcross F1 of HL Liuqianxin A and that of CL Liuqianxin A. The HL type and CL type japonica A lines showed worse restored ability than BT type CMS line, but better than WA type japonica CMS line. With the standard that the spikelet fertility of testcross F1 over 85%, 25 HL type (CL type) japonica R lines were selected from BT type R lines and WCR lines. The nuclear background of CMS lines affected the fertility of F1. As to the restored ability, HL Liuqianxin A was the best, HL Lingxiang A the second, HL Zhen 5A the worst. The spikelet fertilities of F1s derived from HL type and CL type CMS lines were less stable than that from BT type CMS line. Japonica hybrid rice combinations derived from HL type, BT type, and WA type CMS lines had no significant difference in days from sowing to heading, plant height, yield and rice quality traits. On seedsetting percentage, japonica hybrid rice combinations of HL Lingxiang A/SJR48221 and BT Lingxiang A/SJR48221 had no significant difference, but HL Zhen 5A/SJR48221 was higher than WA Zhen 5A/SJR48221. Accordingly, it is feasible to apply HL type male sterile cytoplasm in japonica hybrid rice breeding.

    2010, 24(2): 125-130 .  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-7216.2010.02.04
    Abstract ( )   PDF (2548KB) ( )  
    Mitogen activatedprotein kinases (MAPKs) are important components in signal transduction pathways responding to various biotic and abiotic stresses. The cDNA sequence of the MAPK gene OsMPK14 (GenBank Accession No. GQ265780) from rice (Oryza sativa L.) was cloned by RTPCR. The fulllength cDNA of OsMPK14 is 1660 bp in size,containing an open reading frame of 1629 bp,which encodes a 542aminoacid polypeptide and has a typical protein kinase domain and a phosphorylation activation motif TDY. The sequence alignment and analysis revealed that OsMPK14 is located on chromosome 5, and composed of 9 exons and 8 introns in the coding region. Semiquantitative RTPCR was performed to examine its expression patterns in rice shoots and roots under darkness, drought, high salinity, low temperature and abscisic acid treatments. The OsMPK14 mRNA was induced by abscisic acid, low temperature and high salinity, but weakly inhibited by drought. Light could upregulate its expression in roots, but downregulate in shoots. The results indicate that OsMPK14 could be implicated in diverse rice stimuliresponsive signaling cascades, and its expression might be regulated by multiple factors.

    2010, 24(2): 131-136 .  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-7216.2010.02.05
    Abstract ( )   PDF (3255KB) ( )  
    In order to reveal the origin and evolutionary relationship between two CCDD genome species of rice, Oryza alta and Oryza latifolia, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) procedure was adopted to analyse the genomes of O. alta and O. latifolia using C0t1 DNA from O. alta as a probe. Karyotype analysis between O. alta and O. latifolia was also made comparatively based on their similar band patterns of the hybridization signals. There was a high homology and close relationship between O. alta and O. latifolia, but at the same time, the distinction between the hybridization signals was also clear. This indicates that C0t1 DNA was species and genome typespecific, and C0t1 DNAFISH could be more efficient in analysis of the genome relationship between different species. According to the comparative analysis of highly and moderately repetitive DNA sequences between the two allotetraploidy species, O. alta and O.latifolia, the possible origin and evolutionary mechanism of allotetraploidy of Oryza were discussed.

    Additive QTLs, epistatic QTLs and expression stability of QTLs for rice starch RVA profile properties were analyzed using Nanjing 11/Koshihikari RIL population in Nanjing in 2006 and 2007. The studied RVA profile properties involved peak viscosity (PKV), trough paste viscosity (TPV), final paste viscosity (FPV), breakdown viscosity (BDV), setback viscosity (SBV), peak time (PKT) and pasting temperature (PT). The normal distribution and transgressive segregation were observed in the seven RVA profile characteristics of the RIL population in two years. Eight additive QTLs were detected for 6 RVA profile characteristics, and 6 QTLs with main effect (qTPV6, qFPV6, qBDV6, qSBV6, qPKT6 and qPT6) were repeatedly detected in two years, which controlled trough paste viscosity, final paste viscosity, breakdown viscosity, setback viscosity, peak time and pasting temperature, with average contribution rates of 46.4%,60.3%,31.1%,71.9%,38.5% and 12.4%, respectively. qSBV8 and qPT5 were detected in one environment, indicating that these two QTLs were easy to be influenced by environments. Otherwise, five QTLs with epistatic effects with little contribution rate were detected in the same chromosome or between different chromosomes, which were little affected by environments. The QTL analysis for RVA profile properties in rice could lay the foundation for utilization of superior cooking and eating quality related genes in Koshihikari in molecular breeding.

    2010, 24(2): 145-150 .  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-7216.2010.02.07
    Abstract ( )   PDF (848KB) ( )  
    The parental indicajaponica index and hybrid yield and rice quality traits were investigated with the main parents and their combinations of japonica hybrid rice in northern China according to the Cheng′s index(Chi) as well as analysis by molecular markers. Parental Chi and ADi(indica component value) ranged from 13.5-19.3 and 0.12-0.38, respectively. Some parents differed in classification by Chi and ADi. The Chi of male parent showed a closer relationship with heterosis and hybrid traits than that of female parent, but ADi was on the contrary. There was a closer relation between parental difference in Chi and yield heterosis and hybrid traits than that in ADi. The indicajaponica indices of the parents and their difference presented conic relationships to yield heterosis and hybrid traits and there existed a critical extremum. The directions of correlation of indicajaponica index of the parents and their difference with yieldrelated traits were opposite to those with rice quality traits. Therefore, in order to obtain best yield heterosis and hybrid performance in high yield and good quality, the female and male parents should be properly combined in indicajaponica index.

    2010, 24(2): 151-156 .  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-7216.2010.02.08
    Abstract ( )   PDF (383KB) ( )  
    Four coldtolerant and five coldsensitive japonica rice cultivars were grown at three locations with different altitudes in Yunnan plateau to investigate rice starch RVA profile characteristics. The results showed that with increasing altitude, the setback viscosity in coldsensitive cultivars increased significantly, while the peak viscosity and breakdown viscosity decreased significantly. However, the peak viscosity and breakdown viscosity in coldtolerant cultivars initially decreased and then gradually increased with rising altitude, whereas the setback viscosity initially increased and then decreased. The starch RVA parameters of coldtolerant cultivars was less sensitive to different environments than those of coldsensitive cultivars. Cooking and eating quality of coldtolerant cultivars had relatively stable trends with rising altitude, whereas cooking and eating quality of coldsensitive cultivars had a trend toward inferior.

    2010, 24(2): 157-161 .  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-7216.2010.02.09
    Abstract ( )   PDF (1431KB) ( )  
    In order to elucidate the changes of agronomic traits during genetic improvement, 23 typical indica hybrid rice combinations applied in the production in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the last 30 years were used. All the hybrid rice combinations were grown in the same field, yield and morphological characters of single plant were compared, and correlation and path analyses among agronomic characteristics were conducted. During the 30 years of genetic improvement, the effective panicle number per plant was progressively decreased, which caused the decrease of grain yield and biomass per plant of hybrid rice combinations in spite of the slightly increased plant height, 1000grain weight and number of grains per panicle. Although the transformation percentage of the matter in stem and sheath decreased after flowering, leaf photosynthetic capacity after flowering increased as well as panicle weight. Correlation and path analyses showed that although both biomass per plant and number of grains per panicle were significantly correlated with grain yield per plant, biomass per plant acted as the key factor affecting yield per plant. It is suggested that in rice high yield cultivation, panicle number was as important as large panicle, and tillering ability should not be neglected in breeding.

    2010, 24(2): 162-168 .  DOI: 0.3969/j.issn.1001-7216.2010.02.10
    Abstract ( )   PDF (1370KB) ( )  
    Hybrid rice combination Gangyou 527 was used to investigate the characteristics of population development and yield formation under triangleplanted system of rice intensification (TSRI) and traditional cultivation at different N application amounts. Rice plants under TSRI showed increased tiller number of plant population and percentage of productive tillers, high percentage of efficient leaf area index and photosynthetic rate of flag leaves, significantly enhanced root activity, and promoted dry matter accumulation and transportation during grain filling compared with traditional cultivation. Furthermore, suitable N application amount (200 kg/hm2) under TSRI enhanced fully rational use of soil and space resources and improved population quality remarkably, and was helpful to coordinate the conflict among effective panicle number, filled grain number per panicle, seed setting rate and grain filling rate. Applying more nitrogen (240 kg/hm2) resulted in a negative effect, leading to reduced dry matter accumulation and transportation and decreased yield, which suggests yield increase under TSRI should not rely on high nitrogen rate.

    The contents of chlorophyll, soluble sugar, soluble protein and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS),chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, net photosynthetic rate as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase(POD) of flag leaves at the late growth stage were studied by using four hybrid rice combinations derived from C815S as material and Shanyou 63 as a control. The grain yields of the four hybrid rice combinations was 16.7% to 20.2% higher than that of Shanyou 63. Compared with Shangyou 63 the contents of chlorophyll, soluble sugar and soluble protein in flag leaves of a series of hybrid rice combinations derived from C815S were higher, while TBARS content was lower. The activities of SOD and POD were significantly higher than those of the control at 7 days after heading, and decreased more slowly. ΦPSII value and qP value of flag leaves decreased at the late growth stage, but ΦPSII value and qP value of flag leaves were higher than those of the control, while qN value increased and was lower than those of the control. The net photosynthetic rate of flag leaves was higher compared with the control. These results suggest that slow senescence and more strongly photosynthetic capability in flag leaves at the late growth stage is the physiological basis of hyrid rice combinations derived from C815S.

    2010, 24(2): 175-182 .  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-7216.2010.02.12
    Abstract ( )   PDF (781KB) ( )  
    Genotypic differences in nitrogen absorption efficiency (NAE), nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUE) and nitrogen harvest index (NHI) were investigated in ten rice genotypes with different nitrogen efficiencies at the elongation, booting, heading and maturity stages under six nitrogen levels in a pot experiment with sandsoil mixtures at various ratios. The results showed that NAE firstly increased and then decreased with increasing nitrogen rates, and the peak NAE was found under medium nitrogen rate (0.177 g/kg); but NUE and NHI of different rice genotypes decreased with increasing nitrogen rates. NAE of different rice genotypes increased with growing process and NUE followed a trend as follows: elongation stage >heading stage > maturity stage > booting stage. The effects of genotype or nitrogen level on NAE, NUE and NHI were significant at 0.01 level, which showed an order of nitrogen levels>genotypes> genotype×nitrogen level. The effects of genotype×nitrogen level interaction on NAE and NUE were significant at 0.01 level, but the effect of that on NHI was not significant. The elongation stage was the most suitable stage for identifying and evaluating NAE and NUE of rice because the differences of those traits among genotypes at the elongation stage were maximum. The optimum available soil nitrogen and stage for NAE, NUE and NHI identification and screening of rice in the experiment were 0.157 g/kg at the elongation stage, low nitrogen at the elongation stage and 0.277 g/kg at the maturity stage, respectively.

    2010, 24(2): 183-188 .  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-7216.2010.02.13
    Abstract ( )   PDF (387KB) ( )  
    Pot experiments were conducted to investigate the accumulation characteristics of Cd and Pb in aboveground organs of indica hybrid rice(K you 818) in two typical soils (paddy soil and alluvial soil) in 2008. There were significant differences in the concentrations of Cd and Pb in different aboveground organs, following an order of stem and sheath>leaves>milled rice(P<0.05). The inhibitory effects of the two heavy metals on plant height and single panicle weight were significantly greater in the paddy soil than those in the alluvial soil. In addition, the inhibitory intensity increased with the rising concentrations of the heavy metals. In comparison to the control, the single panicle weight showed the largest declines of 28.4% and 36.6% while the concentrations of exogenous Cd and Pb reached 7 mg/kg and 900 mg/kg, respectively. The bioavailability of the heavy metals exhibited significant differences between the two soil types. Consequently, the concentrations of Cd and Pb in various rice organs were significantly higher in the paddy soil than those in the alluvial soil (P<0.05).

    Abstract ( )   PDF (404KB) ( )  
    The effects of Mn treatment on rice growth, and Cd, Mn, Fe and Zn contents and their distribution in shoots and roots under Cd stress were investigated under hydroponics. The results showed that Cd toxicity to rice plants was markedly alleviated at normal Mn level (about 0.50 mg/L) with higher plant height, root length, and contents of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b than at low Mn level. With the rising Cd concentration in culture solution, the Cd contents in shoots and roots increased. Under the same Cd level, the Cd content increased in rice shoots, while decreased in rice roots with the increase of Mn concentration in culture solution. The contents of Fe and Zn in rice plants significantly decreased under high level treatments of Mn and Cd. Moreover, Cd accumulation mechanism in rice plants and the application value of Mn fertilizer in alleviating Cd stress were also discussed.

    To determine the relationships between the canopy spectral reflectance indices during different growth stages and grain yield and its components of rice, and to seek the sensitive spectral parameters for exactly estimating rice grain yield under high temperature stress, a pot experiment was conducted with two rice cultivars under four hightemperature stresses at the booting stage. The canopy hyperspectral reflectance at different growth stages after heading, theoretical yield, actual yield, grain number per panicle, grain weight, panicle length, panicle weight and seed setting rate after maturity were measured. The coefficients of correlations between the spectral indices and the theoretical yield, actual yield, panicle number, grain number per panicle, grain weight, panicle length, panicle weight and seed setting rate at the heading and filling stages were significantly higher than those at the ripening stage, and the indices at the heading and filling stages could be key to predicting rice yield. In these spectral indices, the difference vegetation index DVI \[810, A(450,560,680)\], perpendicular vegetation index PVI (810,680), peak value of red edge and area of the red edge peak could be used for simultaneously estimating the theoretical and actual yields of matured rice. Besides, DVI (810,450) and DVI(810,560), PVI (810,680) and peak value of red edge could be used for simultaneously estimating the panicle number, grain number per panicle and grain weight of matured rice. The model based on the indices at the heading stage could monitor rice yield more reliably than that based on the indices at the filling stage.

    SUN Qihua,LIU Xiangdong*
    2010, 24(2): 203-209 .  DOI: DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-7216.2010.02.16
    Abstract ( )   PDF (1007KB) ( )  
    The reflectance of rice plant damaged by the brown planthopper(BPH, Nilaparvata lugens) was measured using an ASD handheld spectroradiometer. The results showed that the spectral reflectances at the range of wavelengths of visible light and near infrared regions decreased significantly with the increase of the number and instar of BPHs. The damage degrees of rice plants caused by the BPH nymphae with different numbers or at different instars, and by the oviposition behaviour of adult were expressed well by the spectral reflectance in the nearinfrared wavelengths. The reflectance was negatively correlated with the number of BPHs, and the correlation coefficients were significant at the range of wavelengths of 520-570 nm and 700-1000 nm. The red edge slope (Dλred) and red edge area (Sred) of the reflectance also significantly correlated with the number of nymphae. The linear models for forecasting the occurrence number of BPHs were built using following relative indexes to the undamaged plants: the spectral reflectance at the wavelengths of 550 nm (R550) and 760 nm (R760), and the red edge indexes (Dλred and Sred). The accuracy of the models were 53%-79% for the 19 times tests. The factor of R760 was efficient for forecasting the number of BPHs.

    2010, 24(2): 210-214 .  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-7216.2010.02.17
    Abstract ( )   PDF (1217KB) ( )  
    By using the cultivated rice variety Yuexiangzhan as recipient parent and Gaozhou common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) indigenous to Gaozhou, Guangdong Province, China as donor parent, a single segment substitution line (SSSL) population was constructed through hybridization, backcross and microsatellite markerassisted selection. The SSSL population consisted of 20 accessions among which nine SSSLs were different. The substituted segments in the SSSLs distributed on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 10 and 11, respectively. The estimated lengths of the substituted segments ranged from 81 cM to 23.8 cM, with a total of 152.7 cM and an average of 17.0 cM. The substituted segments covered 136.1 cM, i.e. 75% of rice genome. The construction of SSSLs using Gaozhou common wild rice as donor parent provides novel germplasm for exploiting and utilizing elite genes from Gaozhou common wild rice and puts forward a new path for further genetic studies on Gaozhou common wild rice.
