Abstract:

In this paper, the chromosome segment substitution line SL36 was used as the donor parent with the Kasalath allele at the qSS-9 locus. Ningjing 4, a commercial cultivar with ideal agronomic traits, was used as a recurrent parent, through continuous self-pollination and backcrossing for four consecutive years. Four molecular markers Y-10, Y-11, Y-14, Y-13 closely linked to qSS-9 were used to screen genotypes, and molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS) was used for seed storage ability breeding for Ningjing 4. Through genetic improvement, we obtained inheritable lines with high seed storage ability. Most agronomic traits of the lines were nearly the same as those of Ningjing 4. These lines showed significantly higher germination rate, lower malondialdehyde content and more obvious TTC staining effects under artificial aging and natural aging conditions compared with Ningjing 4, indicating that the new lines with qSS-9 Kas have high seed storage ability.

Key words: rice, chromosome segment substitution line, molecular marker-assisted selection, seed storage ability, genetic improvement
