Abstract
The gene-derived functional markers are considered effective to use in marker-assisted breeding and genetic diversity analysis. As of now, no functional markers have been identified from miRNAs regulating yield traits. The miRNAs play a key role as regulators in controlling the candidate genes involved in grain yield improvement in rice. In this study, 13 miRNA-SSR and their target gene SSR markers were mined from 29 yield-responsive miRNA along with their 29 target genes in rice. The validation of these markers showed that four miRNA-SSRs and one target gene SSR markers had shown polymorphism among 120 diverse rice genotypes. The PIC values ranged from 0.25 (OsARF18-SSR) to 0.72 (miR408-SSR, miR172b-SSR, and miR396f-SSR) with an average value of 0.57. These polymorphic markers grouped 120 rice genotypes into 3 main clusters based on the levels of high genetic diversity. These markers also showed significant association with key yield traits. Among all, miR172b-SSR showed a strong association with plant height in two seasons. This investigation suggests that this new class of molecular markers has great potential in the characterization of rice germplasm by genetic diversity and population structure and in marker-assisted breeding for the development of high-yielding varieties.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Breeding is an international journal publishing papers on applications of plant molecular biology, i.e., research most likely leading to practical applications. The practical applications might relate to the Developing as well as the industrialised World and have demonstrable benefits for the seed industry, farmers, processing industry, the environment and the consumer.
All papers published should contribute to the understanding and progress of modern plant breeding, encompassing the scientific disciplines of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, physiology, pathology, plant breeding, and ecology among others.
Molecular Breeding welcomes the following categories of papers: full papers, short communications, papers describing novel methods and review papers. All submission will be subject to peer review ensuring the highest possible scientific quality standards.
Molecular Breeding core areas:
Molecular Breeding will consider manuscripts describing contemporary methods of molecular genetics and genomic analysis, structural and functional genomics in crops, proteomics and metabolic profiling, abiotic stress and field evaluation of transgenic crops containing particular traits. Manuscripts on marker assisted breeding are also of major interest, in particular novel approaches and new results of marker assisted breeding, QTL cloning, integration of conventional and marker assisted breeding, and QTL studies in crop plants.
