The invention discloses a
filtration assisting method of Indica and
Japonica and a specific primer thereof. The
filtration assisting method detects whether segments shown in (a) and (b) are deleted in a
protein gene that is shown in sequence 4 of an encoding sequence table in a
genome of rice to be detected, and if so, the rice to be detected is Indica candidate, otherwise the rice to be detected is
Japonica candidate; wherein, (a) is
a DNA segment of 717 to 855
nucleotide from 5'-end in the sequence 3 of the sequence table; and (b) is
a DNA segment in a
nucleotide sequence that has the homology degree of over 97 percent with sequences that are limited by (a). The
filtration assisting method of Indica and
Japonica subtypes has important guidance in filtering Indica and Japonica varieties or local varieties in an early development stage, acknowledging the
genetic differentiation degree between Indica and Japonica, utilizing the advantages of
hybrid varieties Indica and Japonica, and culturing high-yield and high-quality
hybrid rice, and can consequently optimize
hybrid combinations, quicken breeding speed and lower breeding cost, has the advantages of simple operation, low cost and short period, fits for popularization and application, and provides a fast
selection method for the quality identification of rice subtypes Indica and Japonica.
