The rice variety ‘Swarna’ is highly popular in the eastern region of India. The farmers of eastern India cultivate mainly rainfed rice and face the adverse effects of climate change very frequently. Rice production in this region is not stable. Swarna variety is highly susceptible to bacterial blight (BB) disease and flash floods, which cause a heavy reduction in the yield. Transfer of five target genes/QTLs was targeted into the variety, Swarna by adopting marker-assisted backcross breeding approach. Direct markers for Sub1A, OsSPL14, and SCM2 QTLs and closely linked markers for xa5 and Xa21 BB resistance genes were screened in the backcross progenies. Swarna-Sub1, CR Dhan 800, and Swarna–Habataki near-isogenic lines (NILs) were used as donor parents in the breeding program. True multiple F1 plants were identified for backcrossing, and 796 BC1F1 seeds were generated. Foreground selection detected all the five target genes in six progenies in BC1F1 generation. The progeny containing all the target genes and more similar with the recipient parent was backcrossed, and a total of 446 BC2F1 seeds were produced. Foreground screening detected four BC2F1 plants carrying the five target genes. A total of 2,145 BC2F2 seeds were obtained from the best BC2F1 progeny. Screening of the progenies resulted in one plant with all five desirable genes, three plants with four, and another three progenies carrying three genes in homozygous conditions. The pyramided lines showed higher BB resistance and submergence tolerance than the recipient parent, Swarna. Culm strength of the pyramided lines showed higher breaking force than the recipient parent, Swarna. The pyramided line, SSBY-16-68-69 yielded the highest grain yield of 7.52 t/ha followed by the lines SSBY-16-68-511 (7.34 t/ha) and SSBY-16-68-1633 (7.02 t/ha). The best-pyramided line showed a yield advantage of 18% over the recipient parent and 6.8% over the yield component donor parent. Seven pyramided lines showed higher yield than the recipient parent, while five lines were better yielders than the yield component donor parent. The pyramided line SSBY-16-68-69 produced 365 grains/panicle, while the recipient had 152. The main morphologic and grain quality features of the recipient parent were retained in the pyramided lines.

Abstract Background Direct-seeded rice (DSR) is a potential technology for sustainable rice farming as it saves water and labor. However, higher incidence of weed under DSR limits productivity. Therefore, there is a need to develop herbicide tolerant (HT) rice varieties. Results We used marker assisted backcross breeding (MABB) to transfer a mutant allele of Acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS) gene, which confers tolerance to imidazolinone group of herbicides from the donor parent (DP) “Robin” into the genetic background of an elite popular Basmati rice variety, Pusa Basmati 1121 (PB 1121). Foreground selection was done using the AHAS gene linked Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) marker RM6844 and background selection was performed using 112 genome-wide SSR markers polymorphic between PB 1121 and Robin. Phenotypic selection for agronomic, Basmati grain and cooking quality traits in each generation was carried out to improve the recovery of recurrent parent phenome (RPP). Finally, a set of 12 BC4F4 near isogenic lines (NILs), with recurrent parent genome (RPG) recovery ranging from 98.66 to 99.55% were developed and evaluated. PB 1121-HT NILs namely 1979-14-7-33-99-10, 1979-14-7-33-99-15 and 1979-14-7-33-99-66 were found superior to PB 1121 in yield with comparable grain and cooking quality traits and herbicide tolerance similar to Robin. Conclusion Overall, the present study reports successful development of HT NILs in the genetic background of popular Basmati rice variety, PB 1121 by introgression of mutated AHAS allele. This is the first report on the development of HT Basmati rice. Superior NILs are being evaluated in the national Basmati trials, the release of which is likely to provide a viable option for the adoption of DSR technology in Basmati rice cultivation.

Achieving the demand and supply of rice for the increasing global population will be a challenging task beyond 2040. Therefore, the yield potential of popular rice varieties needs to be increased. The production from lowland rice can be enhanced by managing the major biotic and abiotic stresses faced in the ecology. In this work, we have developed the pipelines for gene stacking of submergence tolerance, bacterial blight resistance and yield component QTLs in the popular rice variety ‘Swarna’ by marker-assisted backcross breeding approach. Genotyping results of 796 BC1F1 backcross derived lines showed the presence of GW2, OsSPL14, SCM2 yield component QTLs, Sub1A for submergence tolerance and bacterial blight resistance genes xa5 and Xa21 in the progenies. The four stacked QTLs and two resistance genes were observed in six backcrosses derived progenies only. These progenies will be used in the next generation for further selection and evaluation for enhancing submergence tolerance, yield potential and bacterial blight resistance in Swarna rice variety background.

Bacterial blight (BB) caused by X. oryzae pv. oryzae is a destructive disease of rice and causes 30-50% losses to rice depending on the outbreak. Development BB resistant rice varieties have long been considered as one of the most effective approach to control the disease. However, the durability of host resistance is breaking down due to the change of pathotypes of X. oryzae pv. oryzae globally. Pathotypic analyses of 239 X. oryzae pv. oryzae Bangladeshi isolates on Near Isogenic Lines (NILs) containing resistance (R) gene (s) revealed the existence of eight pathotypes of X. oryzae pv. oryzae. Among eight pathotypes, pathotypes IV and V were considered as major comprising  maximum number of isolates, (30.13% and 23.01%, respectively), whereas pathotype VIII considered as minor consisting only 2.51% of total isolates. Pathotype, I showed highest virulence or aggressiveness compatible with all NILs, whereas pathotype VIII exhibited lowest virulence to these NILs. Bacterial blight resistant genes viz. Xa1 (75.00%), Xa11 (62.50%) and Xa21 (50.00%) showed resistance to most of the pathotypes while Xa4 performed worst as compared to all others R-genes. In pyramid lines, IRBBB63 (Xa5+Xa7+Xa13) and IRBB57 (Xa5+Xa7 +Xa21) showed resistance reaction and IRBB61 (Xa4+Xa5+Xa7), IRBB60 (Xa4+Xa5+Xa13+Xa21), IRBB54 (Xa5+Xa21), and IRBB53 (Xa4+Xa21) showed susceptible reaction to X. oryzae pv. oryzae pathotypes. These results collectively indicated the deployment of Xa1, Xa11, Xa4, Xa5, Xa7, Xa13 and Xa21 either alone or in combination against BB would be a best choice for the development of BB resistant rice varieties in Bangladesh.

Trans-lycopene is a functional phytochemical abundant in red-fleshed watermelons, and its contents vary among cultivars. In this study, the genetic basis of high trans-lycopene contents in scarlet red flesh was evaluated. Three near-isogenic lines (NILs) with high trans-lycopene contents were derived from the scarlet red-fleshed donor parent DRD and three coral red-fleshed (low trans-lycopene contents) recurrent parents. The lycopene contents of DRD (589.4 ± 71.8 µg/g) were two times higher than that of the recurrent parents, and values for NILs were intermediate between those of the parents. Coral red-fleshed lines and F1 cultivars showed low trans-lycopene contents (135.7 ± 18.0 µg/g to 213.7 ± 39.5 µg/g). Whole-genome resequencing of two NILs and their parents and an analysis of genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms revealed three common introgressed regions (CIRs) on chromosomes 6, 9, and 10. Twenty-eight gene-based cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers were developed from the CIRs. The CAPS markers derived from CIR6 on chromosome 6, spanning approximately 1 Mb, were associated (R2 = 0.45–0.72) with the trans-lycopene contents, particularly CIR6-M1 and CIR6-M4. Our results imply that CIR6 is a major genomic region associated with variation in the trans-lycopene contents in red-fleshed watermelon, and CIR6-M1 and CIR6-M4 may be useful for marker-assisted selection.

Submergence stress due to flash floods reduces rice yield drastically in sensitive varieties. Maudamani is a high yielding popular rice variety but is highly susceptible to submergence stress. The selection of progenies carrying Sub1 and GW5 (wide-grain) enhanced the submergence stress tolerance and grain yield of theMaudamani variety by following the marker-assisted backcross breeding method. Foreground screening detected 14 BC1F1, 17 BC2F1, and 12 BC3F1 backcross progenies that carried the target QTLs for submergence tolerance and grain width. Background screening was performed in the progenies carrying the target QTL and enhanced the recovery of a recipient parent’s genome by upto 96.875% in the BC3 pyramided line. The BC3F1 plant containing the highest recipient parent genome content and the target QTLs was self-pollinated. In BC3F2 generation, the target QTLs the Sub1 and GW5 (wide-grain) alleles and recipient parent’s yield component QTL OsSPL14 were tracked for homozygous states in the progenies. Seven pyramided lines showed tolerance to submergence for 14 days and higher grain yield than both the parents. The pyramided lines were similar to the recipient parent for the majority of the studied morphological and quality traits. The pyramided lines are useful as cultivars and can serve as potential donors for transfer of Sub1, OsSPL14, Gn1a, GW5 (wide-grain), and SCM2 QTLs.
