| Research Abstract |
We clarified the genetic factors controlling soil-surface rooting by using recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between Gemdjah Beton, an Indonesian lowland rice cultivar with soil-surface roots, and Sasanishiki, a Japanese lowland rice cultivar without soil-surface roots. We identified a major genetic factor on long arm of chromosome 7, and then designated this QTL qSOR1 (Uga et al. 2011).
We found a soil-surface rooting mutant from an M2 population that was regenerated from seed calli of a japonica rice cultivar, Nipponbare. The sor1, a rice mutant causing soil-surface rooting and altered root gravitropic response, is allelic to Os04g0101800 on the terminal region of the short arm of chromosome 4. The 33-bp deletion is responsible for the mutant phenotypes (Hanzawa et al. 2013). The result of cultivation trial by using this mutant suggest that the soil-surface rooting may be useful for increasing tolerance to some of the problematic soil types such as saline paddy field.
