Three new helvolic acid derivatives (named sarocladilactone A (1), sarocladilactone B (2) and sarocladic acid A (3a)), together with five known compounds (6,16-diacetoxy-25-hy- droxy-3,7-dioxy-29-nordammara-1,17(20)-dien-21-oic acid (3b), helvolic acid (4), helvolinic acid (5), 6-desacetoxy-helvolic acid (6) and 1,2-dihydrohelvolic acid (7)), were isolated from the endophytic fungus DX-THL3, obtained from the leaf of Dongxiang wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated via HR-MS, extensive 1D and 2D NMR analysis and comparison with reported data. Compounds 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 exhibited potent antibacterial activities. In particular, sarocladilactone B (2), helvolinic acid (5) and 6-desacetoxy-helvolic acid (6) exhibited strongly Staphylococcus aureus inhibitory activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 4, 1 and 4 μg/mL, respectively. The structure–activity relationship (SAR) of these compounds was primarily summarized.

Dongxiang wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) (DXWR) has strong seed storability and identifying its elite gene resources may facilitate genetic improvements in rice seed storability. In this study, we developed two backcross inbred lines (BILs) populations, with DXWR as a common donor parent and two rice varieties (F6 and R974) as recipient parents. Bulked segregant analysis via whole genome sequencing (BSA-seq) was used to identify seed storability-related loci in the DXWR and F6 population. Two main genomic regions containing 18,550,000–20,870,000 bp on chromosome 4 and 7,860,000–9,780,000 bp on chromosome 9 were identified as candidate loci of DXWR seed storability; these overlapped partially with seed storability-related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) discovered in previous studies, suggesting that these loci may provide important regions for isolating the responsible genes. In total, 448 annotated genes were predicted within the identified regions, of which 274 and 82 had nonsynonymous and frameshift mutations, respectively. We detected extensive metabolic activities and cellular processes during seed storability and confirmed the effects of the seed storability-related candidate loci using four BILs from DXWR and R974. These results may facilitate the cloning of DXWR seed storability-related genes, thereby elucidating rice seed storability and its improvement potential.

PREMISE: Dongxiang wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff., DXWR) is the northernmost common wild rice found in the world, which possesses abundant elite genetic resources. We developed a set of drought stress-responsive microRNA (miRNA)-based single sequence repeat (SSR) markers for DXWR, which will help breed drought stress-resistant rice varieties. METHODS AND RESULTS: Ninety-nine SSR markers were developed from the drought stress-responsive miRNAs of DXWR. The SSR loci were distributed in all 12 rice chromosomes and most were in chromosomes 2 and 6, with di- and trinucleotides being the most abundant repeat motifs. Nine out of ten synthesized SSR markers were displayed high levels of genetic diversity in the genomes of DXWR and 41 modern rice varieties worldwide. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 6, and the observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 0.024 and 0.461 to 0.738, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: These SSR markers developed from drought stress-responsive miRNAs in DXWR could be additional tools for elite genes mapping and useful for drought stress-resistant rice breeding.
