| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Leaf morphological traits that affect water use efficiency are not well known. I examined whether leaf hairiness improves water use efficiency in rice. A chromosome segment introgression line (IL-hairy) of wild Oryza nivara with the genetic background of Oryza sativa cultivar ‘IR24’ had high leaf hair. The leaf hairs developed along small vascular bundles. IL-hairy plants had a warmer leaf surface in sunlight, probably due to increased boundary layer resistance. They had a lower transpiration rate, resulting in higher photosynthetic water use efficiency. Linkage analysis in F2 and F3 populations showed that the trait was governed by a single gene, designated BLANKET LEAF (BKL), on chromosome 6. Furthermore, development of leaf hairs was suppressed under high temperature condition, and a candidate gene of BKL was identified by gene expression analysis.
