    A thermosensitive chlorophyll deficient mutant was obtained from the progeny of tissue culture of a japonica rice cultivar Asominori. The mutant was characterized by albino leaves before 3leaf stage under low temperature (23℃), while showing normal phenotype under high temperature(30℃). The chlorophyll contents of the mutant were significantly lower than those of wildtype before 3leaf stage under low temperature, which is due to altered chloroplast development under low temperature. Genetic analysis showed that the mutation was controlled by a single recessive gene, which is tentatively designed as cde2(chlorophyll deficient 2). Furthermore, using an F2 population derived from cde2/Peiai 64 and polymorphic markers between cde2 and Peiai 64, the cde2 was finally localized on the centromeric region of chromosome 1 and positioned between SSR markers RM11041 and Indel1, within the physical distance about 365.6 kb. In addition, the expression level of genes associated with chlorophyll biosynthesis, photosynthesis and plastidial transcription/translation apparatus was measured and the results shows that the cde2 mutation increased the transcript level of chlorophyll biosynthesis genes and the platidial transcription/translation apparatus related genes, but reduced the expression level of photosynthesis genes, indicating that CDE2 may involve in the chlorophyll biosynthesis and chloroplast development.

    A seedling long root mutant named  lr1  (long root 1) was isolated from rice cultivar Nipponbare by mutagenesis with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and the long root trait can be stably inherited. The main root in lr1 mutant was 1.52, 1.93, 3.93, 6.81 and 6.77 cm longer than those of wild type at 2, 4, 6, 10 and 15day after germination, respectively, and the rootshoot ratio of lr1 mutant was also significantly greater than that in the seedling of Nipponbare. Genetic analysis indicated that the seedling long root mutant phenotype was controlled by a single recessive gene. The  LR1  gene was located between the SSR markers RM304 and RM7300 on chromosome 10, and the genetic distance is 20 cM and 3.5 cM, respectively.

    This study was conducted to validate a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for 1000grain weight (TGW) which was previously mapped in a 3.7 Mb region on the long arm of rice chromosome 1, and to locate this QTL more precisely. A plant carrying a heterozygous segment extending from RM11448 to RM11615 was selected from the Zhenshan  973/Milyang 46 BC2F5 population. The resulting BC2F6 and BC2F7 populations were assayed with SSR markers. Three BC2F7 plants were identified, carrying heterozygous segments covering the intervals RM11448-RM11522, RM11448-RM11549 and RM1232-RM11615, respectively. Nonrecombinant homozygotes were identified from the BC2F8 populations, from which three sets of near isogenic lines (NILs) in the BC2F8∶9 generation were produced, consisting of two parental genotypes in the intervals RM11448-RM11522, RM11448-RM11549 and RM1232-RM11615, respectively. Field trials were conducted to measure heading date (HD), TGW, and grain shape traits including grain length and width. Twoway analysis of variance was performed to test the phenotypic differences between two genotypic groups in each NIL set using SAS program. No significant variations were observed on TGW and grain shape in the NIL which was heterogeneous in the interval RM11448-RM11522, whereas significant genotypic effects were detected in the remaining two NILs in which the enhancing alleles were all derived from Zhenshan 97. For HD, no significant effects were detected in the three NILs. Based on comparison among genomic locations of the three heterogeneous regions, qTGW1.1 was delimited to a 688.8 kb region flanked by RM11522 and RM11554.

    Abstract ( )   PDF (4386KB) ( )  
    The preliminary mechanism of the new rice line YSBR1 with high   resistance to sheath blight disease(SB)  was investigated through analyzing the content of wax and silicon, the arrangement of silicon cell, the activity of the wellknown defense enzymes, and the expression pattern of some pathogenesisrelated (PR) genes in response to SB fungus infection. The wax contents of leaves and leaf sheaths were not significantly different among varieties with various resistance levels to SB disease including YSBR1. The arrangement of silicon cells in the  upper and lower surfaces of leaf blades  was similar among varieties, and no silicon cell was found in the inner surfaces of leaf sheaths. In response to SB fungus infection, the contents of silicon in  the  lower surfaces  of leaf blades and the inner surfaces of leaf sheaths in YSBR1 were significantly induced, as well as in inner surfaces of leaf sheaths of Jasmine 85 with moderate resistance to SB. However, it was not found in all tissues tested in susceptible Lemont. In YSBR1, the activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase(PAL ) and polyphenol oxidase(PPO) were induced faster and significantly higher by SB fungus than those in other varieties. The expression level of OsPR4 in YSBR1 was upregulated rapidly and obviously higher than those in Jasmine 85 and Lemont 12 h post inoculation. The OsPR10 gene was found constitutively expressed in YSBR1 and Lemont, but induced expression in Jasmine 85 by SB fungus infection. Taken together, our results suggest  that the defense system of YSBR1 is  rapidly activated upon SB fungus infection,which is responsible for its high resistance to SB.

    Pikhis a  vital non racespecific resistance gene for rice blast. In this study, one InDel marker, FM143 was developed based on the 143 bp insertion between the susceptible and resistant Pikh alleles. Previous studies  showed that Tetep carried resistant Pikh allele and had the noneinsertion genotype for PCR by FM143. F2 population, derived from Tetep and Ning 9108, were detected by marker FM143 and the result indicated that FM143 could effectively identify Pikh/Pikh, Pikh/pikh and pikh/pikh genotypes with the expected segregation ratio 1∶2∶1. Sixtyfive japonica varieties widely grown in Jiangsu Province over years and sixtyfour japonica lines were genotyped by FM143. Among them, 19 japonica varieties and 22 japonica lines showed noneinsertion genotype. Further sequencing at the target Pikh locus for these noneinsertion genotype showed that there was one highly conserved singlebase mutation (G→C) at 102 bp location compared with the whole target gene sequence in Tetep and public Pikh GeneBank leading to the changes from glutamic acid to asparaginic acid. This new allele in Jiangsu japonica rice was termed as PikhJSJ.

    2014, 28(2): 148-154.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-7216.2014.02.006
    Abstract ( )   PDF (2091KB) ( )  
    Genetic background of 15 superrice and their 21 pedigreerelative varieties (including  12 cultivars released from 1977 to 1999 in northeast and 9 japanese varieties bred from 1963 to 2000) were revealed based on 89 subspecificdifferentiation molecular markers (34 InDel and 55 SSILP). The results showed that indica linage have already introgressed into the genomes of 15 superrice varieties at different level which represented by indicatype frequency (Fi ). The Fi  variation of superrice varieties reflected registration periods difference, varieties bred in 2005-2011 were the  highest (Fi=0.068), followed by 1977-1999 (Fi=0.033) and rarely in 1963-2000 (Fi=0.011). Consequently, indicaallele frequencies of recent varieties were gradually increased. And this fact demonstrates that a certain proportion of indica linage introducing is an important strategy to the increased yield of northern japonica rice.

    Six rice recombinant inbred lines with different heat tolerance and their parents, heat tolerant line 996 and heat sensitive line 4628 were treated with high temperature (9:00-17:00, 37℃; 17:00-9:00, 30℃) and optimal temperature (9:00-17:00, 30℃; 17:00-9:00, 25℃) in growth chambers. The effect of high temperature on antioxidant enzyme activities, membrane permeability,souble sugar content, heat stable protein content of anther, pollen grain and stigma viability were studied.The results showed the superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) activities in anther increased obviously at early stage under high temperature stress, then decreased rapidly, the antioxidant enzyme activity of anther of heat tolerant lines was significantly higher than that of heat sensitive lines. Compared with heat sensitive lines, higher heat stable protein content and souble sugar content, lower malondialdehyde  (MDA) content and relative conductivity were found in anther of heat tolerant lines. The anther dehiscence coefficient, pollen grains number on the stigma,pollen viability and stigma viability of heat tolerant lines were significantly higher than those of heat sensitive lines. It showed that hybrids might inherit the heat tolerance from the parent 996.The antioxidant enzyme activity, membrane permeability, heat stable protein content of anther and pollen viability can be used as heat resistance identification indexes in rice.

    2014, 28(2): 167-176.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-7216.2014.02.008
    Abstract ( )   PDF (1170KB) ( )  
    By hydroponic pot experiment, with two  indica  types (Shanyou 63, Liangyoupeijiu) and two  japonica  types (Xiushui 63, Yongyou 8) as experimental materials, two elements including light intensity (L0, L1, L2 represent 100%,81.88% and 51.06% of the natural light intensity,respectively) and nitrogen supply (N1, N2, N3 represent the N level of 7,21,35mg/kg,respectively) were designed from transplanting to maturity in rice. The effects of different light intensity, nitrogen levels and their interactions on production and distribution of dry matter of rice were investiged. The main results were as follows: 1) Grains yield of per plant was significantly affected by shading and light nitrogen interactions(FLight=63.34**,FLight×Nitrogen=58.55**). To a certain extent, shading improved yield under low nitrogen (N1); under medium (N2)and high nitrogen (N3), too much shading treatment  decreased grain yield significantly. 2) At maturity stage, the influences of light intensity on dry matter weight of various organs were as follows: Leaves were L2>L1>L0, stems and sheaths were L1>L2>L0, roots and panicles were L0>L1>L2. Dry matter weight of roots and panicles of L0 treatment were higher than those covered with two layers of shading (L2) by 28.47% and 5.67%, respectively. Thus, at maturity stage, it was demonstrated that high intensity light was beneficial to rice roots and spike, while low intensity light increased the dry matter weight of leaf and stem to various degrees. 3) The dry matter accumulation of shoots  increased significantly by higher nitrogen rate in the whole growth stages. However, shading firstly inhibited dry matter accumulation of shoots during the earlier growth period, then promoted it during the later growth period. The trends were as follows: L2 < L1 < L0 at jointing stage, L2 < L0 < L1 at heading stage, L0 < L2 < L1 at maturity stage. With higher nitrogen rate and lower intensity of light, dry matter accumulation increased more obviously. 4) Rootshoot ratio gradually reduced with growth stage forward, higher nitrogen application and lower light intensity. 5)The quadratic curve relationship between dry matter accumulation and grain yield were significantly at the heading stage.

    2014, 28(2): 177-184.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-7216.2014.02.009
    Abstract ( )   PDF (628KB) ( )  
    A pot experiment was conducted to study the absorption, accumulation, distribution and transfer of cadmium (Cd) during various growth stages of indica (CG132R) and japonica rice(Jing 925) under Cd stress. Results showed that the transfer ability of Cd from   root to aboveground parts during the tillering stage was stronger than that during the maturity stage. With the increasing concentration of exogenous Cd, the Cd content in different organs of CG132R and Jing 925 increased. Under low soil Cd content, rice plant organs enriched Cd more easily. The proportion of  Cd distribution in CG132R and Jing 925 was as follows: root > stem > leaf > brown rice > rice husk. The root was the primary organs of the rice in Cd absorption and accumulation. The Cd content and accumulation in brown rice was 500% as higher in CG132R than that in Jing 925. Further investigation showed that there was a significant difference between CG132R and Jing 925 in Cd absorption,accumulation,transfer and distribution. CG132R had stronger capabilities of absorption, accumulation  and transfer of Cd than  Jing 925.  Higher concentration of Cd in brown rice of CG132R  contributed to  more stronger capability in absorption and transfer of Cd than that of Jing 925.

    Abstract ( )   PDF (864KB) ( )  
    A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of Zn fertilizer application rate (0, 15, 30 kg/hm2 ZnSO4·7H2O) and application methods (soil, foliar) on the yield and Zn concentration in grains of Zhendao 11 (a normal  japonica  rice variety) under low Zn (DTPAZn 0.84  mg/kg) and borderline Zn deficient (DTPAZn 0.60  mg/kg) soil in Rudong county, Jiangsu Province, respectively.  The results showed that compared with control Zn fertilizer application could significantly improve the rice grain yield by about 0.3%-13.0%, with the yield increasing by rising Zn fertilizer rate, and the yieldimproving efficiency of Zn fertilizer application in the borderline Zn deficient soil was higher than that in low Zn soil. In addition, application methods of Zn fertilizer also significantly affected grain yield and Zn content in individual rice organ. The yieldimproving efficiency of soil application was higher than that of foliars spray, but the foliar spray of Zn fertilizer evidently increased Zn content in individual rice organ relative to the soil application of Zn fertilizer, and the effect of application method on Zn content followed a general trend as soil application + foliar spray > foliar spray> soil application> control. Besides, It also indicated that the N concentration and accumulation were increased in rice organs by Zn fertilizer application, suggesting the interaction between N and Zn fertilizer on rice plant. To sum up, these results indicated that both yield and grain Zn nutrition quality could be facilitated by applying Zn fertilizer on soil combine with foliar spray in low Zn soil.

    Abstract ( )   PDF (960KB) ( )  
    The yield potential of double cropping rice was investigated after 31year fertilization treatments at the same application rates of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) in the from of in organic manure and chemical fertilizer (NPK)in the Red Soil Field Experimental Station, Chinese Acadamy of Agricultural Sciences, in 2012. Fertilizer application promoted rice yield and total rice aboveground biomass, increased soil organic carbon content, with combined application of organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer being better. Combined application of organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer showed a better yieldand aboveground biomasspromoting effect, and application of organic fertilizer has the stepwise larger effect on rice yield and aboveground biomass  and has the obvious larger effect on soil organic carbon content than application of chemical fertilizer.

    Abstract ( )   PDF (846KB) ( )  
    A longterm experiment was conducted to study the effects of tillage measures on soil water storage and corrosion resistance and crop yield under ricewheat rotation. The treatments were wheat and rice double rotation with no straw returning (non conservation tillage control, CK), wheat and rice notillage with wheat and rice straw returning (WRNT), wheat notillage and rice rotation with rice straw returning (WNRCT) and wheat and rice ridge notillage with wheat and rice straw returning (WRRT). The results showed that compared with the control, conservational tillage increased water storage capacity of 0-10cm soil layer.  Correlation analysis showed that water storage capacity significantly negatively correlated with mean weight diameter of soil aggregates, soil corrosion resistance was positively correlated with total porosity and capillary porosity, notillage significantly increased soil erodibility K value and erodibility index. No significant effect of tillage treatment was noted on wheat yield. The  highest wheat yield  was obtained under WNRCT, while the yield stability under WRRT ranked first, followed by WRNT. Significant effect of tillage treatment was noted on rice yield and rice yield stability, with highest rice yield and rice yield stability under WNRCT. Effects of tillage treatments on soil properties and crop yield differed.

    Abstract ( )   PDF (359KB) ( )  
    To evaluate recent milled rice quality of the super hybrid rice in China, ten grain quality traits and their superior quality rates of 49 super rice hybrids have been analyzed. The results showed that the average superior quality rates of the ten grain traits of the tested super rice hybrids were 81.4%, ranging from 34.7% to 100%. Among which, the brown rice rate, milled rice rate, head milled rice rate, gelatinization temperature, gel consistency and brown rice protein content had higher superior quality rates(>89%). The super hybrids derived from the male sterile lines Guangzhan 63S, Tianfeng A or Peiai 64S had lower chalky grain percent, chalkiness degree and amylose content, as well as softer gel consistency. In general, the twoline super hybrids showed lower chalky grain percent, chalkiness degree and amylose content, as compared with the threeline super hybrids. It was noticed that the tested super rice hybrids showed not only higher chalky grain percent(44.9%) and chalkiness degree(9.7%), but also lower superior quality rates(34.7% and 51.0%). The emphasis of improving rice quality for super hybrid rice was discussed.

    Abstract ( )   PDF (345KB) ( )  
    Effects of weedy rice on transplanted rice and paddy environment were investigated in a field experiment with weedy rice WR0312 and cultivated rice Shennong 265 as materals. It showed that at a weedy rice density over 3 plants per square meter, panicle number per plant, grain number per panice, seed setting rate, 1000grain weight and yield of Shennong 265    significantly decreased. The illuminance in the middle(80 cm)to lower part(40 cm)of the population of Shennong 265 was dramatically weaker than those of control at 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. In addition, the daily average and maximum humidity   increased significantly. The rising density of weedy rice led to the decline of population light transmittancand, increase of population humidity in cultivated rice,  resulting in the environmental deterioration and the decline of yield.

    Abstract ( )   PDF (631KB) ( )  
    The   bacterial community  structure in  different virulent populations of brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stl), was analyzed by   denatured gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The results showed that the bacterial community in BPH nymph from  the 1st to  the 5th instars varied with nymphal growth and development, and the bacterial community in  the 1st instar BPH nymph was similar to  that in adults. Nine geographic BPH populations were obviously divided into three groups  according to the cluster analysis  based on DGGE fingerprint. The first group  came  from the Philippines, the second   from Thailand and the provinces of Hainan, Yunnan and Zhejiang of China, and the third   from Vietnam and the provinces of Guangxi, Hunan, and Jiangxi of China. BPH populations  on  Mudgo (with resistant gene Bph1) and ASD7 (with resistant gene bph2) have similar bacterial community,  while differed to  that fed on susceptible rice variety, TN1.
