Reyes VP. Fantastic genes: where and how to find them? Exploiting rice genetic resources for the improvement of yield, tolerance, and resistance to a wide array of stresses in rice. Funct Integr Genomics 2023; 23:238. [PMID: 37439874 DOI: 10.1007/s10142-023-01159-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/14/2023]
Abstract
Rice production is a critical component of global food security. To date, rice is grown in over 100 countries and is the primary source of food for more than 3 billion people. Despite its importance, rice production is facing numerous challenges that threaten its future viability. One of the primary problems is the advent of climate change. The changing climatic conditions greatly affect the growth and productivity of rice crop and the quality of rice yield. Similarly, biotic stresses brought about by pathogen and pest infestations are greatly affecting the productivity of rice. To address these issues, the utilization of rice genetic resources is necessary to map, identify, and understand the genetics of important agronomic traits. This review paper highlights the role of rice genetic resources for developing high-yielding and stress-tolerant rice varieties. The integration of genetic, genomic, and phenomic tools in rice breeding programs has led to the development of high-yielding and stress-tolerant rice varieties. The collaboration of multidisciplinary teams of experts, sustainable farming practices, and extension services for farmers is essential for accelerating the development of high-yielding and stress-tolerant rice varieties.

Detection of QTLs Regulating Six Agronomic Traits of Rice Based on Chromosome Segment Substitution Lines of Common Wild Rice ( Oryza rufipogon Griff.) and Mapping of qPH1.1 and qLMC6.1. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12121850. [PMID: 36551278 PMCID: PMC9775987 DOI: 10.3390/biom12121850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Wild rice is a primary source of genes that can be utilized to generate rice cultivars with advantageous traits. Chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) are consisting of a set of consecutive and overlapping donor chromosome segments in a recipient's genetic background. CSSLs are an ideal genetic population for mapping quantitative traits loci (QTLs). In this study, 59 CSSLs from the common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) accession DP15 under the indica rice cultivar (O. sativa L. ssp. indica) variety 93-11 background were constructed through multiple backcrosses and marker-assisted selection (MAS). Through high-throughput whole genome re-sequencing (WGRS) of parental lines, 12,565 mapped InDels were identified and designed for polymorphic molecular markers. The 59 CSSLs library covered 91.72% of the genome of common wild rice accession DP15. The DP15-CSSLs displayed variation in six economic traits including grain length (GL), grain width (GW), thousand-grain weight (TGW), grain length-width ratio (GLWR), plant height (PH), and leaf margin color (LMC), which were finally attributed to 22 QTLs. A homozygous CSSL line and a purple leave margin CSSL line were selected to construct two secondary genetic populations for the QTLs mapping. Thus, the PH-controlling QTL qPH1.1 was mapped to a region of 4.31-Mb on chromosome 1, and the LMC-controlling QTL qLMC6.1 was mapped to a region of 370-kb on chromosome 6. Taken together, these identified novel QTLs/genes from common wild rice can potentially promote theoretical knowledge and genetic applications to rice breeders worldwide.

Colorado JD, Calderon F, Mendez D, Petro E, Rojas JP, Correa ES, Mondragon IF, Rebolledo MC, Jaramillo-Botero A. A novel NIR-image segmentation method for the precise estimation of above-ground biomass in rice crops. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0239591. [PMID: 33017406 PMCID: PMC7535130 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0239591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Traditional methods to measure spatio-temporal variations in biomass rely on a labor-intensive destructive sampling of the crop. In this paper, we present a high-throughput phenotyping approach for the estimation of Above-Ground Biomass Dynamics (AGBD) using an unmanned aerial system. Multispectral imagery was acquired and processed by using the proposed segmentation method called GFKuts, that optimally labels the plot canopy based on a Gaussian mixture model, a Montecarlo based K-means, and a guided image filtering. Accurate plot segmentation results enabled the extraction of several canopy features associated with biomass yield. Machine learning algorithms were trained to estimate the AGBD according to the growth stages of the crop and the physiological response of two rice genotypes under lowland and upland production systems. Results report AGBD estimation correlations with an average of r = 0.95 and R2 = 0.91 according to the experimental data. We compared our segmentation method against a traditional technique based on clustering. A comprehensive improvement of 13% in the biomass correlation was obtained thanks to the segmentation method proposed herein.
