Abstract

Tiller number (TN) is an important trait that contributes to yield in rice ( Oryza sativa L.). A set of 76 chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) derived from the super-hybrid cross between Zhonghui 9308 (ZH9308) and Xieqingzao B (XQZB) was used to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling tiller number (TN). A total of four QTLs were detected in Fuyang, Zhejiang Province (30.15° N, 120° E). Two QTLs were detected in Lingshui, Hainan Province (18.5° N, 110° E) in our previous study. To further map the QTL on chromosome 4, namely qTN4 , the line CSSL29 with a lower tiller number was selected to cross with ZH9308 to develop the secondary F 2 population. In the F 2:3 population, the qTN4 was validated and subsequently narrowed down to a 4.08 Mb region. What is more, combined phenotype with genotype, qTN4 was dissected into two QTLs, qTN4.1 and qTN4.2 , in the F 4:5 population. The qTN4.1 and qTN4.2 explained 34.31% and 32.05% of the phenotypic variance, with an additive effect of 1.47 and 1.38, respectively. Finally, the qTN4.1 and qTN4.2 were fine-mapped into a 193.55 Kb and 175.12 Kb intervals on chromosome 4, respectively. Based on genotype and phenotype, four near-isogenic lines (NILs) were selected in the mapping populations. Compared with NIL CSSL29 , tiller number (TN), grain setting rate, grain length (GL), the ratio of grain length to width (LWR) and grain yield per plant of NIL ZH9308 , NIL- qTN4.1 ZH9308 and NIL- qTN4.2 ZH9308 were increased, and the heading date of these three lines were earlier than that of NIL CSSL29 . Interestingly, among the candidate genes of qTN4.1 and qTN4.2 , except for LOC_Os04g23550 , none of the other genes has been cloned, indicating the existence of a novel gene-controlling tiller number. These results lay a foundation for the analysis of QTL controlling tiller number in ZH9308 and provide a theoretical basis for the application of ZH9308 in super-hybrid breeding.
