Abstract:

Breeding and utilization of herbicide resistant rice are significant to rice production. By screening the rice germplasm, we found the herbicide resistant material “Jinjing 818”. An SNP mutation G to A was present in Acetolactate synthase (ALS) gene at 1880 bp position, leading to the alteration from serine (S, AGT) to asparagine (N, AAT), which confers herbicide resistance. In this study, 11 allelic-specific PCR (AS-PCR) primers were designed based on the functional mutation. After optimized these primers, we obtained two primer combinations F1N (S1/S9) and F1M (S1/S10), named AS-ALS marker. Using this marker detected the genetic population, its parents, F1 hybrid, F2 and also rice collections, inbred lines, showing that the herbicide susceptibleness allelic ALS-G could be amplified by F1N, the herbicide resistance allelic ALS-A by F1M, and heterozygous genotype by F1N and F1M simultaneously. The genotype of those tested materials perfectly matched with the phenotype of herbicide resistance or susceptibleness. Aided by AS-ALS marker selection, the homozygous ALS-A pedigrees in multi-generation backcross or self-cross showed stable herbicide resistance. Therefore, the allelic-specific PCR functional marker AS-ALS can be used in herbicide breeding efficiently, also screening herbicide resistant rice germplasm. In conclusion, the AS-ALS marker developed in this research is inexpensive and effective in breeding practice.

Key words: rice (Oryza sativa L.), herbicide, acetolactate synthase, ALS gene, functional marker
