Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of molecular genetics and provides a gene locus for rice resistance to brown planthopper. Bph33 The SNP molecular markers and methods are specifically designed for the breeding of rice varieties resistant to brown planthoppers and the utilization of germplasm resources. Background Technology

[0002] Rice is one of the world's major food crops, and its safe production is crucial for ensuring national food security. During its growth and development, rice is frequently threatened by various pests and diseases, leading to reduced yields or even crop failure. Among these, the brown planthopper is the number one pest affecting rice production. It not only damages rice plants by sucking sap from the phloem with its stylet, but also transmits grass dwarf virus and toothed leaf dwarf virus, severely threatening rice yield and quality and causing huge economic losses. Control methods for brown planthoppers mainly include biological control and chemical control. Chemical control has advantages such as speed, efficiency, and ease of use; however, the large-scale use of pesticides not only pollutes the ecological environment but also leads to pesticide resistance in brown planthoppers. Therefore, breeding resistant varieties is the most economical and effective means of controlling brown planthoppers.

[0003] At least 46 gene loci for resistance to brown planthoppers have been identified and reported, including 31 dominant genes and 15 recessive genes. Twelve brown planthopper resistance genes have been cloned. Bph3 , Bph6 , Bph9 , Bph14 , Bph15 , Bph18 , Bph26 , Bph29 , Bph30 , Bph32 , Bph40 , Bphi008a ,in Bph3 , Bph14 , Bph6 , Bph15 These methods have been widely applied in actual rice production. Previous researchers constructed an F2 population using the highly resistant brown planthopper indica rice variety W41123 from Vietnam and the susceptible japonica rice variety C418. They identified a major brown planthopper resistance gene, which was located between markers W131 and W115 on the long arm of chromosome 4, with a region size of 49 kb. No brown planthopper resistance genes have been reported within this region; therefore, this resistance site was named […]. Bph33 .

[0004] The phenotypic identification process for brown planthopper resistance is cumbersome and complex, resulting in low breeding efficiency for brown planthopper-resistant rice varieties. Furthermore, it is difficult to combine different brown planthopper resistance genes using conventional breeding methods. Therefore, developing brown planthopper resistance genes is crucial. Bph33Closely linked or co-segregated molecular markers can be used to aggregate one or more insect-resistant target genes or QTLs using marker-assisted selection (MAS) technology. This can accelerate the breeding efficiency of brown planthopper-resistant varieties, select durable resistant varieties, delay the degeneration period of insect-resistant varieties, and prevent the occurrence of new biotypes of brown planthoppers.

[0005] Conventional methods for breeding insect-resistant rice involve insect resistance identification, selecting highly resistant plants based on phenotype, and then hybridizing and backcrossing these plants. However, this method is resource-intensive, time-consuming, and the identification results are easily affected by environmental conditions, leading to errors and low selection efficiency. Using molecular marker-assisted selection (MAG) breeding can effectively reduce breeding costs, shorten the breeding cycle, and allow for targeted multi-gene aggregation, improving breeding efficiency. The marker types mainly used in the literature are SSR and In-Del markers, which have drawbacks such as low polymorphism and small differences in breeding. Furthermore, the EB or polyacrylamide used in the detection process can easily pollute the environment and pose health risks. The development of genes for resistance to brown planthoppers is underway. Bph33 The co-separation of specific molecular markers and the establishment of efficient and environmentally friendly related detection systems are crucial for promoting... Bph33 The application of genes in commercial breeding is of great significance. The KASP-based genotyping method uses computer recording and analysis of fluorescence signals generated during PCR to monitor variant sites, achieving high consistency between the detection results and phenotypes. The detection process eliminates the need for electrophoresis, completely preventing aerosol pollution from PCR products, environmental pollution from Eppendorf products, and the health hazards of formaldehyde.

Three pots of each variety were randomly planted. Twenty-eight pots were placed in a 65 cm × 44 cm × 14 cm plastic box (with a water level of approximately 2 cm maintained). Seven days after sowing, thin the seedlings, discarding diseased and weak seedlings, and retaining 20 seedlings per pot.
