从常规粳稻常优94后代中筛选到一份自然突变的抽穗期延迟的类树稻突变体lhd3(leafy head 3)。在短日照条件下,与野生型比较,lhd3突变体在生长后期,上部节间会继续长出叶片(一般为3片)和高位分蘖,类似于树的侧枝生长,抽穗期延迟,但基部分蘖数不受影响。经典遗传分析表明,lhd3与籼稻南京6号的F2群体中,正常植株与类树稻植株的分离比符合3∶1,说明此性状受单隐性基因控制。利用该群体进行图位克隆,将LHD3基因定位在水稻第1染色体短臂的两个新发展的STS标记wpla3和wpla25之间。再利用5个新发展的STS和CAPS标记,最终将该基因精细定位在WX6和CAPS1两个标记之间,物理距离约为60 kb。通过水稻基因组注释系统共预测到10个开放阅读框(ORF)。对该基因的进一步克隆将有助于阐明水稻生育期和叶原基发育调控机理。
A total of 28 accessions of rice (Oryza sativa L.) germplasms were collected from International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Philippine and Gene Pool of China National Rice Research Institute (CNRRI). These germplasms were attributed as a Donor Gene Pool, consisting of 27 diverse morphological marker lines with each having a unique valuable trait (gene), and the recurrent parent-Zhefu 802, an early-season indica cultivar in south of China in the 1980s and 1990s. A set of 27 isogenic lines with 2-3 markers on every chromosome were obtained after more than 10 successive backcrosses. Moreover, 15 accessions of double-marker isogenic lines were developed by further pyramiding markers on the same chromosome. Key agronomic traits such as heading date, plant height, tillering number and panicle length in this set of lines were similar to that of Zhefu 802 except the marker traits.
