Abstract
Direct seeding of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a low-labor and sustainable cultivation method that is used worldwide. Seed vigor and early vigor are important traits associated with seedling stand density (SSD) and weed competitive ability (WCA), which are key factors in direct-seeded rice (DSR) cultivation systems. Here, we developed a set of chromosome segment substitution lines with Xiushui134 as receptor parent and Yangdao6 as donor parent and used these lines as a mapping population to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for seed vigor, which we evaluated based on germinability-related indicators (germination percentage (GP), germination energy (GE), and germination index (GI)) and seedling vigor-related indicators (root number (RN), root length (RL), and shoot length (SL) at 14 days after imbibition) under controlled conditions in an incubator. Ten QTLs were detected across four chromosomes, of which a cluster of QTLs (qGP11, qGE11, qGI11, and qRL11) co-localized on Chr. 11 with high LOD values (12.03, 8.13, 7.14, and 8.75, respectively). Fine mapping narrowed down the QTL cluster to a 0.7-Mb interval between RM26797 and RM6680. Further analysis showed that the QTL cluster has a significant effect (p < 0.01) on early vigor under hydroponic culture (root length, total dry weight) and direct seeding conditions (tiller number, aboveground dry weight). Thus, our combined analysis revealed that the QTL cluster influenced both seed vigor and early vigor. Identifying favorable alleles at this QTL cluster could facilitate the improvement of SSD and WCA, thereby addressing both major factors in DSR cultivation systems.

Mapping the Genomic Regions Controlling Germination Rate and Early Seedling Growth Parameters in Rice. Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:genes14040902. [PMID: 37107660 PMCID: PMC10138111 DOI: 10.3390/genes14040902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Seed vigor is the key performance parameter of good quality seed. A panel was prepared by shortlisting genotypes from all the phenotypic groups representing seedling growth parameters from a total of 278 germplasm lines. A wide variation was observed for the traits in the population. The panel was classified into four genetic structure groups. Fixation indices indicated the existence of linkage disequilibrium in the population. A moderate to high level of diversity parameters was assessed using 143 SSR markers. Principal component, coordinate, neighbor-joining tree and cluster analyses showed subpopulations with a fair degree of correspondence with the growth parameters. Marker-trait association analysis detected eight novel QTLs, namely qAGR4.1, qAGR6.1, qAGR6.2 and qAGR8.1 for absolute growth rate (AGR); qRSG6.1, qRSG7.1 and qRSG8.1 for relative shoot growth (RSG); and qRGR11.1 for relative growth rate (RGR), as analyzed by GLM and MLM. The reported QTL for germination rate (GR), qGR4-1, was validated in this population. Additionally, QTLs present on chromosome 6 controlling RSG and AGR at 221 cM and RSG and AGR on chromosome 8 at 27 cM were detected as genetic hotspots for the parameters. The QTLs identified in the study will be useful for improvement of the seed vigor trait in rice.

Abstract
In most agriculture farmlands, weed management is predominantly reliant on integrated weed management (IWM) strategies, such as herbicide application. However, the overuse and misuse of herbicides, coupled with the lack of novel active ingredients, has resulted in the uptrend of herbicide-resistant weeds globally. Moreover, weedy traits that contribute to weed seed bank persistence further exacerbate the challenges in weed management. Despite ongoing efforts in identifying and improving current weed management processes, the pressing need for novel control techniques in agricultural weed management should not be overlooked. The advent of CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing systems, coupled with the recent advances in "omics" and cheaper sequencing technologies, has brought into focus the potential of managing weeds in farmlands through direct genetic control approaches, but could be achieved stably or transiently. These approaches encompass a range of technologies that could potentially manipulate expression of key genes in weeds to reduce its fitness and competitiveness, or, by altering the crop to improve its competitiveness or herbicide tolerance. The push for reducing or circumventing the use of chemicals in farmlands has provided an added incentive to develop practical and feasible molecular approaches for weed management, although there are significant technical, practical, and regulatory challenges for utilizing these prospective molecular technologies in weed management.
