AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing rice breeding methods, the intermediate materials and backbone parents of fragrant and soft rice are genetically close, making it impossible to select parental populations of different ecotypes. This results in low affinity and an inability to obtain homozygous genotypes that meet the target traits in a short period of time, leading to low breeding efficiency.

[0002] Rice is the main food crop in China, and the total production of rice is in the world's top ranks. In addition, China is also the world's largest rice consumer, and more than 60% of the population mainly eats rice. For a long time, the primary indicator of rice breeding is high yield. With the improvement of living standards, people's demand for high-quality rice is increasing day by day, and the production is also changing from single pursuit of high yield to high quality and stable yield. "Tasty and good variety" has become a new trend of rice variety research and breeding. 90% of the components in rice are starch, and starch is composed of amylose and amylopectin. The content of amylose is the most important factor affecting the eating quality of rice. The content of amylose in fragrant soft rice is low, the rice has strong aroma, good elasticity and no retrogradation after cooling, so it is favored by the market.

[0048] In the specific operation process, reference is made to FIG. 1, and the method comprises the following steps: Figures 1 to 2

[0049] Step one: specific trait rice resource exploration;

[0050] The complementary specific rice resources are explored by using the "Yungui Plateau warm and cool rice area resource comparison and identification method". The indica or partial indica resources from the Yungui Plateau 1450-1650 meters warm and cool rice area are collected, and are planted and observed in Fuding, Yunnan (620 meters), Wenshan, Yunnan (1240 meters), Yanshan, Yunnan (1540 meters) for 17 main indexes such as agronomic traits and resistance, and are morphologically identified with the low-heat valley rice area materials, and the excellent materials with complementary traits are screened to create the soft rice breeding intermediate materials and the backbone parent population with far genetic distance and different ecotypes.

[0051] The breeding practice is to explore the cold-resistant and disease-resistant indica material "red soft rice" at an altitude of 1560 meters, which carries the aroma gene, low amylose, rice blast resistance, japonica wide compatibility gene and cold resistance gene, as an improved parent to be combined with the low-heat valley rice area blood germplasm.

[0052] Step two: new germplasm backbone parent creation;

[0053] ​Design "different regions, similar ecological type distant hybrid model", create new germplasm backbone parents, introduce excellent genes with far genetic distance into Yunnan fragrant soft rice materials, improve affinity according to physiological characteristics of similar ecological type rice, increase blood penetration and fusion, and create gene type rich and varied backbone parents.

[0054] Breeding practice is that, first, a long-yang upstream medium-mature late indica soft rice variety (Yunhu 290, growth period 175 days, low AC, soft and thick) is matched with a double-season late indica variety in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River (Xiangwan indica 10, growth period 163 days, low AC, soft and thick, and less chalky), which shows strong affinity and offspring separation advantage, and creates fragrant soft rice backbone parent 10290-11. This material can be compatible with high-yield plant type, rice fragrance, transparent appearance, low AC, soft and thick, and other excellent genes, and can be used as an excellent donor parent. Second, a long-yang upstream medium-mature late indica fragrant soft rice variety (Diantun 502, low AC, soft and thick) is matched with a late indica variety in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River (Zibaoxi 1, fragrant soft, disease-resistant, and high-yield), which successfully fuses high-yield genes and fragrance genes to breed fragrant rice high-yield material Wenbaoxi 502-8, and breeds an ideal high-yield plant type chassis material.

[0055] Step three: "two-way" separation expression, single recessive relative trait elimination method;

[0056] According to the independent distribution of genes and the genetic rule of 3:1 separation performance, "gene inheritance + phenotype" selection is performed on the "sticky + waxy" "colored to colorless" parent combination hybridization with relatively obvious relative traits. After chromosome exchange recombination and offspring population separation, the phenotype of homozygous recessive genes (waxy, semi-transparent, and colored) is selected or eliminated, single plant directional selection is performed according to breeding targets in a low generation (F2 begins), and indoor shelling is combined with rice appearance identification, single grain sowing is performed in the next season for tracking selection, and pure genotypes meeting target traits are obtained in a short time, which can improve breeding efficiency and accelerate breeding process.

[0057] Breeding practice is that, Yunnan fragrant waxy rice variety Wenmai 4 is selected and hybridized with low amylose content material "red fragrant soft rice" to create a new low amylose content offspring population and breed a new fragrant soft rice variety. Wenmai 4 and Wenmai 1, two fragrant waxy rice parents, are selected for single crossing, and then the low amylose content gene of Yunhu 290 is introduced to create an offspring population with continuous change of amylose content, and breed a fragrant waxy rice variety with high-yield plant type, good economic traits, and disease resistance.

[0058] Step four: excellent trait balanced selection;

[0059] The construction of "carrying the aroma gene, the length-width ratio of rice is greater than 3, the chalkiness rate is less than 5%, the amylose content is 10-16%, the gel consistency is 80-100mm, and the resistance to rice blast" and other excellent gene aggregation trait balance selection system, taking into account the collaborative expression of multiple excellent traits of offspring separation individuals, discarding the "special material" with outstanding rice quality but low yield and resistance decline, or the yield level is improved but the rice quality is ordinary. Two is to establish the "five-step" optimization method of fragrant soft rice. It is "different ecological environment field investigation, natural induction and inoculation identification elimination, economic trait index determination, rice appearance grading and chewing screening, cooking taste identification".

[0060] The breeding practice is to use the Sanya winter breeding base, prepare combinations, plant mixed crops for two generations a year, and fully maintain the rich genetic traits of the offspring. F4 begins to shuttle breeding in different ecological regions such as Wenshan (1240m), Jinghong State Agricultural Station base in Xishuangbanna (700m), Baoshan (1300m), Yanshan County Panlong Town in Wenshan (1540m) and so on. The field is eliminated by "natural induction + inoculation identification". According to the breeding target, the field comprehensive agronomic traits and resistance are observed, the single plant is numbered, the indoor economic traits of single plant are investigated, the rice appearance quality is observed by artificial shelling, the phenotypic characteristics are recorded, the rice appearance transparent single plant is removed, the groups are numbered according to the chewing aroma and no aroma, F5 is planted according to the collection of single plants, the field focuses on the investigation of plant leaf morphology, population structure, resistance and yield, the indoor taste quality is comprehensively identified from aroma, appearance and palatability, the balanced expression of target traits is comprehensively analyzed, and the key strain is determined to enter the advanced selection and test procedure.
