1. Hnin Wah Thein, Yoshiyuki Yamagata, Tan Van Mai, Hideshi Yasui, Four resistance alleles derived from oryza longistaminata (A. chev. & roehrich) against green rice leafhopper, nephotettix cincticeps (uhler) identified using novel introgression lines, Breeding Science, 10.1270/jsbbs.19060, 69, 4, 573-584, 2019.06, The green rice leafhopper (GRH, Nephotettix cincticeps Uhler) is a serious insect pest of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in temperate regions of Asia. Wild Oryza species are the main source of resistance to insects. The W1413 accession of African wild rice (O. longistaminata A. Chev. & Roehrich) is resistant to GRH. To analyze its resistance, we developed 28 BC3F3 introgression lines carrying W1413 segments in the genetic background of Nipponbare, a susceptible rice cultivar, and evaluated their GRH resistance. Five BC3F3 populations were used for quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis and seven BC3F4 populations for QTL validation. Four significant QTLs on the long arm of chromosome 2 (qGRH2), short arm of chromosome 4 (qGRH4), short arm of chromosome 5 (qGRH5), and long arm of chromosome 11 (qGRH11) were identified. The contribution of the W1413 allele at qGRH11 was the largest among the four QTLs; the other QTLs also contributed to GRH resistance. Chromosomal locations suggested that qGRH11 corresponds to the previously reported GRH resistance gene Grh2, qGRH4 to Grh6, and qGRH5 to Grh1. qGRH2 is a novel QTL for resistance to GRH. Thus, resistance of O. longistaminata to GRH can be explained by at least four QTLs..

 , DNA Research 20(1): 17-30 , doi:10.1093/dnares/dss030, 20, 17-30, 2013.02, In this study, we developed the first genetic linkage map for the major rice insect pest, the brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens). The linkage map was constructed by integrating linkage data from two backcross populations derived from three inbred BPH strains. The consensus map consists of 474 simple sequence repeats, 43 single-nucleotide polymorphisms, and 1 sequence-tagged site, for a total of 518 markers at 472 unique positions in 17 linkage groups. The linkage groups cover 1093.9 cM, with an average distance of 2.3 cM between loci. The average number of marker loci per linkage group was 27.8. The sex-linkage group was identified by exploiting X-linked and Y-specific markers. Our linkage map and the newly developed markers used to create it constitute an essential re- source and a useful framework for future genetic analyses in BPH.

To date, more than 24 major BPH-resistance 14 genes have been reported in several Oryza sativa ssp. 15 indica cultivars and wild relatives. Here, we report the 16 genetic basis of the high level of BPH resistance derived 17 from an Indian rice cultivar, ADR52, which was previously 18 identified as resistant to the whitebacked planthopper 19 (Sogatella furcifera [Horva ́th]). An F2 population derived 20 from a cross between ADR52 and a susceptible cultivar, 21 Taichung 65 (T65), was used for quantitative trait locus 22 (QTL) analysis. Antibiosis testing showed that multiple 23 loci controlled the high level of BPH resistance in this F2 24 population. Further linkage analysis using backcross pop- 25 ulations resulted in the identification of BPH-resistance 26 (antibiosis) gene loci from ADR52. BPH25 co-segregated 27 with marker S00310 on the distal end of the short arm of

Awards
  • Vietnam National University of Agriculture, Kyushu University, and Nagoya University have contributed to the development of National variety of rice in under JICA / JST (SATREPS) project. "Selective breeding technology" has been introduced to reduce the cost of developing new varieties, reduce the area for trial cultivation, and shorten the breeding period by promoting generations of rice. Normally, it takes about 20 years from the development of promising lines to the registration of national varieties. SATREPS, however, continued to be bred two National varieties of rice within 11 years. It proves the usefulness of the "DNA marker selection breeding technology" introduced in the SATREPS project, and can be applied to breeding of other crops, so it is expected to contribute to the future development of agriculture not only in Vietnam but also in Asian and African countries.
