Description

  The present invention relates to a new plant variety of rice plant resistant to rice plant produced by a non-genetic recombination method, a method for distinguishing the new plant species, and a method for increasing the plant plant resistance of a rice individual.

  A group that belongs to the same species but has a different genetic composition and is different from other groups in a certain trait is called a breed. That is, even if it is the same kind of plant, the difficulty of cultivation, resistance to pest damage, yield, quality, and the like differ depending on the variety. For this reason, in crops, especially major crops such as rice and wheat, varieties have been improved to obtain better varieties since ancient times. In recent years, not only seed companies, but also countries and prefectures. It has also been actively conducted in the public institutions.

  In recent years, genome analysis technology has made great progress, and it has become possible to improve crops with high accuracy and ease. In particular, the progress of DNA marker technology has been remarkable, and it has become possible to produce new varieties with useful traits. In addition, by using a DNA marker to replace a chromosomal region containing a useful allele of an important gene that has been identified so far, the target trait can be identified with little effect on many other traits. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  Brown planthopper is one of the most serious insect pests in rice cultivation that inhabit the rice stock and directly suck the juice of the plant body. If the damage is severe, the plant body will die, and if the sucking damage is significant, the whole paddy field may be damaged like a phenomenon called plowing. The damage covers a wide range of rice cultivation areas (tropical-subtropical-temperate) in Asia. Tobiro planta live throughout the year in Southeast Asia, mainly in Vietnam, and some populations ride on a jet stream and fly to Japan from mid-August through the South China region. Flying planthoppers flying to Japan from Vietnam and southern China cause serious damage to rice cultivation, especially in the Kyushu region.

  As a method for controlling the planthopper, it is possible to cultivate planthopper-resistant varieties in addition to the application of agricultural chemicals (insecticides). The planthopper resistant cultivar is bred, for example, by a cross breeding method. Specifically, crossing resistant varieties and susceptible varieties, genetically fixing the crossed lines by self-breeding, cultivating varieties with promising traits (resistant to common planthoppers and excellent in general agricultural traits) To do.

  The rice planthopper resistant variety that has been applied for variety registration in Japan is only the rice variety Kanto BPH1. Rice cultivar Kanto BPH1 is a near-isogenic line of the rice cultivar Hinohikari and is a wild rice O. pneumoniae possessed by the rice cultivar IR54742 (GSK178-2), which is an Indian type. The planthopper resistance gene bph11 derived from officinalis has been introduced.

  On the other hand, the damage to the brown planthopper resistance gene changes with time. For example, the brown planthopper flying in Japan has been continuously increasing the harm to rice varieties Mudgo and rice varieties IR26 having resistance gene Bph1 and rice varieties ASD7 having resistance gene Bph2. On the other hand, no significant change has been observed in the damage to rice varieties paddy rice intermediate mother farm No. 10 having resistance gene Bph3 and rice cultivar Babayee having resistance gene Bph4 (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1). .) That is, it is preferable to introduce a resistance gene other than the resistance genes Bph1 and Bph2 when breeding rice planthopper-resistant rice varieties in the future.

  Among them, the resistance gene Bph3 has a wide spectrum. As rice varieties having the resistance gene Bph3, rice varieties Rathu Heenati and rice varieties PTB33, which are native to Sri Lanka, are known. The resistance gene Bph3 is present on these chromosomes 6 (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 2).

  Due to the recent global warming phenomenon, the damage of brown planthoppers may spread to the northeast of Kyushu. On the other hand, rice cultivar Hinohikari uses Kyushu as its cultivation center because of its heading characteristics. Accordingly, Kyushu is also suitable for cultivation of rice cultivar Kanto BPH1, which is a near-isogenic line of the rice cultivar Hinohikari. In other words, no rice plant resistant to the brown planthopper that can be cultivated in the area north of Kyushu.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a new rice cultivar having resistance to a brown planthopper and having excellent general agricultural characters.

  As a result of diligent research to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor has replaced the chromosome fragment of the region containing the resistance gene Bph3 present in the chromosome 6 of the wild rice rice variety Rathu Heenati with the rice variety Koshihikari. As a result, it was found that a new rice cultivar having resistance to the brown planthopper and having excellent general agricultural characters can be bred, and the present invention has been completed.

Is provided.

  The new varieties of the present invention, including the rice cultivar Koshihikari Eichi No. 7, are more resistant to the brown planthopper than Koshihikari, but other properties such as quality and yield are similar to Koshihikari.

It is the figure which showed typically the position of the DNA markers M1-M4 set to the vicinity of the area | region L where resistance gene Bph3 exists. It is the figure which showed typically the position in the genome of the molecular marker which shows a polymorphism between the rice cultivar Koshihikari and the rice cultivar Rathu Heenati in the corresponding position in the genome of the rice cultivar Nipponbare. It is the figure which represented typically the genome of rice varieties Koshihikari eichi 7go. In Example 1, it is the figure which showed the mortality (%) of the brown planthopper of rice cultivar Koshihikari, the rice cultivar Rathu Heenati, and the rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi 7 after 5 days from the start of release.

  In the present invention and the specification of the present application, “region from the Xth base to the Yth base of the chromosome of rice cultivar Nipponbare” is RGB (Rice Genome Research Program: http://rgp.dna.affrc.go.jp/ (publicdata.html) is a region determined based on the base sequence (TIGER version 2) of the genomic DNA of rice cultivar Nipponbare.

  Further, in the present invention and the present specification, “the region corresponding to the region from the Xth base to the Yth base of the chromosome of rice cultivar Nipponbare” refers to the chromosome of the rice cultivar Nipponbare in the chromosome of the rice individual. This region is highly homologous to the region, and can be determined by aligning the known genomic DNA of the rice cultivar Nipponbare and the base sequence of the genomic DNA of the rice individual so as to have the highest homology. In addition, “SNP corresponding to SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) of rice varieties Nipponbare” in rice individuals other than the rice cultivar Nipponbare is a known genomic DNA of the rice cultivar Nipponbare in the region containing the SNP. When the base sequence of the genomic DNA of the rice individual is aligned so as to have the highest homology, it means a base at a position corresponding to the SNP.

  In the present invention, a variety means a group that is a plant of the same species and can be clearly discriminated from other varieties in the same species in a certain trait due to different genetic constitution. In addition, genetic information of rice varieties Nipponbare and rice cultivar Koshihikari can be obtained from, for example, NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) and DDBJ (DNA Data Bank of Japan), which are international base sequence databases. In particular, genetic information of rice varieties can be obtained at KOME (Knowledge-based Oryzal Molecular Biological Encyclopedia, http://cdna01.dna.affrc.go.jp/cDNA/) and the like.

  In the present invention and the specification of the present application, a DNA marker can detect a difference in DNA sequence on a chromosome that can distinguish chromosome fragments derived from different varieties. Specifically, the difference in DNA sequence is SNP.

Discrimination between a certain variety-derived allele and another variety-derived allele by a DNA marker can be performed by a conventional method. For example, using DNA extracted from each individual as a template, performing PCR using a primer that can specifically hybridize with a specific SNP or SSR, detecting the presence or absence of a PCR product using electrophoresis or the like, Polymorphism can be identified. In addition, after DNA extracted from each individual is treated with a restriction enzyme, the pattern of the DNA fragment can be detected using electrophoresis or the like to identify each polymorphism. In addition, a primer or the like that can specifically hybridize with a specific SNP can be designed by a conventional method using a commonly used primer design tool or the like according to the base sequence of the SNP. In addition, designed primers and the like can be synthesized using any method well known in the art.

In addition, designed primers and the like can be synthesized using any method well known in the art.

  By introducing the resistance gene Bph3 present in the chromosome 6 of the rice cultivar Ratu Heenati of wild rice into the rice cultivar Koshihikari, which is a good tasting line widely cultivated in the area north of Kyushu. Therefore, it was considered that a new variety having excellent quality similar to that of the rice cultivar Koshihikari can be bred while having resistance to brown planthopper.

  Due to its genetic change, the planthopper of green planthopper may appear to infest the cultivar that had previously shown resistance. For this reason, rapid breeding of leafhopper resistance has been demanded. However, in the prior art, selection of a line that is resistant to the brown planthopper and excellent in general agricultural traits is performed only from the results of the trait survey. That is, it is necessary to select a target line from a huge group of hybrid lines based on the results of the trait survey. Under such circumstances, there is a problem that the breeding period is long (generally 10 years or more).

  Therefore, in order to achieve more rapid breeding, the present inventors select a desired individual using a DNA marker from a progeny individual obtained by non-genetic recombination for a new plant that is resistant to brown planthopper. Breeding using the method described in 1. Specifically, the rice cultivar Koshihikari and the rice cultivar Ratu Heenati were crossed, and the resulting progeny individuals were self-mated or backcrossed repeatedly, and by selection using a DNA marker, Except for the region containing the existing resistance gene Bph3, a new variety consisting only of chromosomes derived from the rice cultivar Koshihikari was bred.

  First, a DNA marker for distinguishing a chromosome derived from the rice cultivar Koshihikari and a chromosome derived from the rice cultivar Ratu Heenati was set. Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 1, between the rice cultivar Koshihikari and the rice cultivar Rathu Heenati, molecular markers M1 to M4 indicating polymorphisms are assigned to the region where the resistance gene Bph3 is present (Bph3 region, FIG. 1 and “Bph3”). In FIG. 1, “G” is a chromosome of the rice cultivar Koshihikari, and “L” is a chromosome fragment derived from the rice cultivar Rathu Heenati. Furthermore, for other whole genome regions, 122 molecular marker sets (DNA markers 1 to 122) having a polymorphism between rice cultivar Koshihikari and rice cultivar Rathu Heenati were prepared at intervals of about 10 Mb.

  In addition, the base sequence of the genome of the rice variety Rathu Heenati has not been analyzed. That is, the DNA markers M1 to M4 and the DNA markers 1 to 122 were first discovered by the present inventors.

  The DNA marker M1 is a SNP corresponding to the SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) at positions 512 and 801 in the chromosome 6 of the rice cultivar Nipponbare (G (guanine) for the rice cultivar Koshihikari and C (cytosine) for the rice cultivar Rathu Heenati). It is. The DNA marker M2 is an SNP corresponding to the 759th and 931st SNPs of chromosome 6 of the rice cultivar Nipponbare (A (adenine) in the rice cultivar Koshihikari and T (thymine) in the rice cultivar Rathu Heenati). The DNA marker M3 is a SNP corresponding to the 1,757,667th SNP of chromosome 6 of the rice cultivar Nipponbare (C for the rice cultivar Koshihikari and G for the rice cultivar Ratu Heenati). The DNA marker M4 is a SNP corresponding to the 1957th and 099th SNP of chromosome 6 of the rice cultivar Nipponbare (G for the rice cultivar Koshihikari and T for the rice cultivar Rathu Heenati). Table 1 shows the base sequences of DNA markers M1 to M4 and primers that can be used for identification.

  FIG. 2 schematically shows the position of each DNA marker in the genome at the corresponding position in the genome of the rice cultivar Nipponbare. In the figure, the solid line portion is a region where the region corresponding to the portion exists in the genome of the rice variety Koshihikari, and the dotted line portion is a region where the region corresponding to the portion does not exist in the genome of the rice variety Koshihikari. Moreover, the position of each DNA marker is shown in Tables 2-4. In addition, the positional information in the chromosome of each table | surface is the position of the corresponding SNP in the genome of rice cultivar Nipponbare.

  After setting the DNA marker, backcrossing with the rice cultivar Koshihikari as the back parent between the rice cultivar Koshihikari and the rice cultivar Rathu Heenati was carried out, and DNA markers M1 to M4 and DNA markers 1 to 122, the Bph3 region is heterozygous of a chromosome fragment derived from rice cultivar Koshihikari and the rice cultivar Ratu Heenati, and all other regions are rice individuals (hereinafter referred to as NIL heterozygous) that are chromosomes derived from rice cultivar Koshihikari. Backcrossing and self-breeding were repeated until Thereafter, DNA markers M1 to M4 were typed from the obtained NIL heterozygous progeny, and in both alleles, DNA markers M1 and M4 were rice cultivar Koshihikari type, and DNA markers M2 and M3 were rice cultivar Rathu Heenati type. Rice individuals, ie, rice individuals whose Bph3 region is homologous to a chromosomal fragment derived from the rice cultivar Ratu Heenati were selected. The obtained rice individuals had resistance to the brown planthopper. The inventors of the present invention have completed the cultivation of the brown planthopper-resistant cultivar in a very short growing period of 3 years and 10 months.

  The present inventors named the obtained rice individual the rice variety Koshihikari eichi 7go. FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing the genome of Koshihikari eichi 7go. Rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi No. 7 is a near isogenic line of rice cultivar Koshihikari, which has a Bph3 region derived from rice cultivar Rathu Heenati, but the other regions are composed only of chromosomes derived from rice cultivar Koshihikari, It is a very excellent variety that maintains the excellent traits such as taste of rice cultivar Koshihikari while having resistance to brown planthopper. Therefore, the applicant has deposited Koshihikari eichi 7 as a new plant at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Patent Biological Deposit Center (1-1-1 Tsukuba Center, Tsukuba, Ibaraki Pref.) : November 1, 2011). The accession number is FERM P-22183.

  In the same manner as the method for obtaining rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi No. 7, from rice cultivar Koshihikari and rice cultivar Rathu Heenati, in the chromosome of rice cultivar Koshihikari, in the sixth chromosome of rice cultivar Nipponbare 6 The region corresponding to the region from the 759th, 931st base to the 1,757th, 667th base in the chromosome is homo-replaced with a chromosomal fragment of the rice cultivar Ratu Heenati, and the chromosomal fragment Is located in the region corresponding to the region from the 512th, 802th base to the 759th, 931st base of the sixth chromosome of the rice cultivar Nipponbare, and the downstream end of the chromosome fragment is the rice cultivar Nipponbare. The region corresponding to the region from base 1,757,667 to base 1,957,098 of chromosome 6 Rice varieties existing in the area can be created. The obtained rice cultivar is a near-isogenic line of rice cultivar Koshihikari that has a homologous chromosomal fragment containing the Bph3 region derived from rice cultivar Ratu Heenati. Rice varieties that are high and have characteristics similar to those of Koshihikari in terms of quality and yield other than the harvest period.

  From these results, at least the region from the DNA marker M2-At to the DNA marker M3-Cg in the chromosome 6 of the rice individual (i.e., from the 759th and 931st bases in the chromosome 6 of the rice variety Nipponbare, 1, By replacing a region corresponding to the region including the 757th and 667th bases) with a chromosome fragment comprising the region of the rice cultivar Ratu Heenati, the rice individual can be more resistant to brown planthopper than the original cultivar. Obviously you can. Since the region of rice variety Koshihikari eichi 7 is composed of a chromosome fragment comprising the region of rice variety Rathu Heenati, the region is replaced by the chromosome fragment comprising the region of rice variety Koshihikari eichi 7 Also good. In addition, a rice individual that confers resistance to brown planthopper by introducing a chromosomal fragment from the region of the rice cultivar Ratu Heenati is a cultivar having the same or similar base sequence as the rice cultivar Koshihikari. Well, it is not limited to the rice cultivar Koshihikari, but it is preferably a rice cultivar Koshihikari or a new cultivar produced as a parent varieties because of consumer preference.

  Further, the upstream end of the chromosomal fragment derived from the rice cultivar Ratu Heenati (or derived from the rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi 7) is located downstream of the DNA marker M1-Gc and up to the DNA marker M2-At (ie, , A region corresponding to the region from the 512th to 802th bases to the 759th and 931st bases in the chromosome 6 of the rice cultivar Nipponbare, the downstream end of which is from the DNA marker M3-Cg to the DNA marker M4. -It seems to exist in the region up to the upstream of Gt (that is, the region corresponding to the region from the 1,757,667th base to the 1,957,098th base in the chromosome 6 of the rice cultivar Nipponbare) In addition, by introducing the chromosome fragment into the 6th chromosome of rice individuals, it has obvious effects on other traits Ku, the rice individuals, it is possible to enhance the resistance to rice brown planthopper than the original cultivar.

  The rice cultivar Koshihikari with the Bph3 region derived from the rice cultivar Rashi Heenati, including the rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi No. 7, is cultivated by the same method as the original cultivar Koshihikari. Rice can be harvested. Moreover, the rice variety Koshihikari eichi No. 7 and its progeny individuals can be used as parent individuals for breeding new varieties, like the original variety Koshihikari. For example, by breeding an individual of the rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi 7 and an individual of another cultivar and backcrossing the obtained progeny individual with an individual of the rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi 7 You can also try.

  In addition, the four types of DNA markers (DNA marker M1-Gc, DNA marker M2-At, DNA marker M3-Cg, and DNA marker M4-Gt) listed in Table 1 are specific to rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi 7 Genome information. Therefore, the rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi 7 can be distinguished using these four types of DNA markers as appropriate.

  Specifically, the method for distinguishing rice varieties of the present invention is a method for distinguishing whether a rice individual is the rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi 7 or not. When M1-Gc, DNA marker M2-At, DNA marker M3-Cg, and DNA marker M4-Gt are typed, and the obtained typing result matches the result of rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi no. 7, that is, DNA When the marker M1-Gc is G, the DNA marker M2-At is T, the DNA marker M3-Cg is G, and the DNA marker M4-Gt is G, the rice individual is the rice variety Koshihikari eichi It is distinguished that it is No. 7.

  EXAMPLES Next, although an Example is shown and this invention is demonstrated further in detail, this invention is not limited to a following example.

[Example 1]
The resistance of the rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi 7 produced by the above method to the brown planthopper was tested. The rice cultivar Koshihikari and the rice cultivar Rathu Heenati were also tested and compared. The test method of the brown planthopper resistance was performed according to the method of Tanaka et al. (See Non-Patent Document 3). That is, the mortality of the brown planthopper after releasing the brown planthopper to the rice individuals was examined. In the case of rice plant that is not resistant, the planthopper can suck and survive, but in the case of rice plant that is resistant, the planthopper dies because it cannot suck the leaf juice.
As plant samples for testing, 15 individuals were used for each rice variety. After cutting so that the top of the tillering seedling grown for about one month after sowing was cut so that the height of the main stalk was about 15 cm, the brown planthopper grown for about 4 weeks after hatching (short-winged female adult just after emergence) ) Were released at a rate of 5 per seedling. After 5 days, the number of living brown planthoppers was counted, and the death rate of the flying planthopper was calculated.

  As a result, in the rice cultivar Koshihikari, in 5 out of 15 individuals, all 5 brown planthoppers were alive after 5 days from the start of release, that is, the death rate of the brown planthopper was 0%. In the rice cultivar Rathu Heenati, 10 of 15 individuals have a 100% mortality rate after 5 days from the start of release, and the remaining 5 individuals survived only 1 out of 5 In addition, the death rate of the brown planthopper was 80%. In contrast, in the rice variety Koshihikari eichi 7 in 10 out of 15 individuals, the mortality rate of brown planthoppers after 5 days from the start of release is 100%, and among the remaining 5 individuals, Only one lived, and the brown mortality rate was 80%. FIG. 4 shows the mortality rate (%) of the brown planthopper of the rice cultivar Koshihikari, the rice cultivar Ratu Heenati, and the rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi 7 after 5 days from the start of release. From these results, it was confirmed that the rice variety Koshihikari eichi No. 7 is clearly higher in the resistance to leafhopper than the rice variety Koshihikari, and is a leafhopper resistance variety similar to the rice variety Rathu Heenati.

[Example 2]
The characteristics of rice variety Koshihikari eichi 7 and rice variety Koshihikari were compared (implemented in Chiba Prefecture in 2009 and 2010). The examination of the traits was conducted in accordance with the characteristic examination for the variety registration application based on Article 5 Paragraph 1 of the Seedling and Seedling Law (Act No. 83 of 1998). The examination results are shown in Tables 5-7. As a result, the rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi 7 was clearly higher in resistance to the brown planthopper than the rice cultivar Koshihikari, but other traits were basically the same as the rice cultivar Koshihikari.

  The new varieties of the present invention including the rice cultivar Koshihikari eichi 7 have the same quality and yield as the rice cultivar Koshihikari except that they are more resistant to the brown planthopper than the rice cultivar Koshihikari. Can be used in
