[PMID: 39254868 PMCID: PMC11387466 DOI: 10.1007/s00122-024-04729-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/24/2024] [Indexed: 09/11/2024]
Abstract
In the past century, there have been great achievements in identifying resistance (R) genes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) as well as revealing the corresponding molecular mechanisms for resistance in rice to major diseases and insect pests. The introgression of R genes to develop resistant rice cultivars has become the most effective and eco-friendly method to control pathogens/insects at present. However, little attention has been paid to durable and broad-spectrum resistance, which determines the real applicability of R genes. Here, we summarize all the R genes and QTLs conferring durable and broad-spectrum resistance in rice to fungal blast, bacterial leaf blight (BLB), and the brown planthopper (BPH) in molecular breeding. We discuss the molecular mechanisms and feasible methods of improving durable and broad-spectrum resistance to blast, BLB, and BPH. We will particularly focus on pyramiding multiple R genes or QTLs as the most useful method to improve durability and broaden the disease/insect spectrum in practical breeding regardless of its uncertainty. We believe that this review provides useful information for scientists and breeders in rice breeding for multiple stress resistance in the future.

Taura S, Ichitani K. Chromosomal Location of xa19, a Broad-Spectrum Rice Bacterial Blight Resistant Gene from XM5, a Mutant Line from IR24. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:602. [PMID: 36771686 PMCID: PMC9919685 DOI: 10.3390/plants12030602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Bacterial blight is an important rice disease caused by bacteria named Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). XM5 is an Xoo resistant mutant line with the genetic background of IR24, an Indica Xoo susceptible cultivar, induced by a chemical mutagen N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU). XM5 carries a recessive Xoo resistant gene, xa19. Trisomic analysis was conducted using the cross between XM5 and the trisomic series under the genetic background of IR24, showing that xa19 was located on chromosome 7. The approximate chromosomal location was found using 37 surely resistant plants in the F2 population from XM5 × Kinmaze, which was susceptible to most Japanese Xoo races. The IAS44 line carries a Japonica cultivar Asominori chromosomal segment covering the xa19 locus under the IR24 genetic background. Linkage analysis using the F2 population from the cross between XM5 and IAS44 revealed that xa19 was located within the 0.8 cM region between RM8262 and RM6728. xa19 is not allelic to the known Xoo resistant genes. However, its location suggests that it might be allelic to a lesion-mimic mutant gene spl5, some alleles of which are resistant to several Xoo races. Together with xa20 and xa42, three Xoo resistant genes were induced from IR24 by MNU. The significance of chemical mutagen as a source of Xoo resistance was discussed.

Shah S, Tsuneyoshi H, Ichitani K, Taura S. QTL Analysis Revealed One Major Genetic Factor Inhibiting Lesion Elongation by Bacterial Blight (Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae) from a japonica Cultivar Koshihikari in Rice. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11070867. [PMID: 35406847 PMCID: PMC9003242 DOI: 10.3390/plants11070867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Revised: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a pathogen that has ravaged the rice industry as the causal agent of bacterial blight (BB) diseases in rice. Koshihikari (KO), an elite japonica cultivar, and ARC7013 (AR), an indica cultivar, are both susceptible to Xoo. Their phenotypic characteristics reveal that KO has shorter lesion length than that of AR. The F2 population from KO × AR results in continuous distribution of lesion length by inoculation of an Xoo race (T7147). Consequently, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping of the F2 population is conducted, covering 12 chromosomes with 107 simple sequence repeat (SSR) and insertion/deletion (InDel) genetic markers. Three QTLs are identified on chromosomes 2, 5, and 10. Of them, qXAR5 has the strongest resistance variance effect of 20.5%, whereas qXAR2 and qXAR10 have minor QTL effects on resistance variance, with 3.9% and 2.3%, respectively, for a total resistance variance of 26.7%. The QTLs we examine for this study differ from the loci of BB resistance genes from earlier studies. Our results can help to facilitate understanding of genetic and morphological fundamentals for use in rice breeding programs that are more durable against evolving Xoo pathogens and uncertain climatic temperature.
