Abstract:

To understand the expression patterns of chlorophyll content related genes at different stages and genetic mechanisms of stay-green at later stage, we analyzed the QTLs controlling chlorophyll content at the stages of tillering, heading and maturity by employing 126 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between two japonica rice cultivars, Shennong 265 and Lijiangxintuanheigu. Five, seven and ten QTLs controlling chlorophyll contents at tillering stage, heading stage and maturity stage were detected, respectively. They were distributed on all rice chromosomes except chromosome 5. Comparison of the QTLs and the genes underlying the key enzymes of chlorophyll biosynthesis and degradation revealed that relatively more QTLs detected at earlier stage co-located with the genes related to chlorophyll biosynthesis and degradation. With the growth stage going on, more QTLs were detected but only a few of them involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis and degradation. The results suggested that the expression level of most genes related to chlorophyll biosynthesis (degradation) had no difference at earlier stage but specific key genes increased at later stage. And two possible genetic bases for stay-green were proposed.
