Identification of QTLs for root and shoot traits in RIL population of rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Published on Jun 06, 2018 02:56 AM

In present study, quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis was
carried out using 93 SSR and 11 SNP markers in F7
recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between
two potential indica genotypes, Danteshwari and Dagad
Deshi. Fourteen putative QTLs identified for 7 root and
shoot traits on chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8, explained
3.77%-29.24% phenotypic variance at LOD score of > 2.5.
The number of putative QTLs was 2 for each root volume,
root dry weight, shoot length, shoot fresh weight and total
plant length, 1 for root/shoot fresh weight ratio and 3 for
root/shoot dry weight ratio. Identified putative QTLs for
root and shoot traits in this study provide insight into the
mode of drought tolerance, which will accelerate the rice
molecular breeding.
