Weedy rice is a weedy relative of cultivated rice that competes with the crop and causes production loss. This study used a QTL-seq approach to identify QTLs related to weediness traits in BHA weedy rice. The results showed that QTLs detected through ancestor-descendant crosses are more likely to be involved in the evolution of weediness traits.
Weedy rice (Oryza spp.) is a weedy relative of the cultivated rice that competes with the crop and causes significant production loss. The BHA (blackhull awned) US weedy rice group has evolved from aus cultivated rice and differs from its ancestors in several important weediness traits, including flowering time, plant height and seed shattering. Prior attempts to determine the genetic basis of weediness traits in plants using linkage mapping approaches have not often considered weed origins. However, the timing of divergence between crossed parents can affect the detection of quantitative trait loci (QTL) relevant to the evolution of weediness. Here, we used a QTL-seq approach that combines bulked segregant analysis and high-throughput whole genome resequencing to map the three important weediness traits in an F2 population derived from a cross between BHA weedy rice with an ancestral aus cultivar. We compared these QTLs with those previously detected in a cross of BHA with a more distantly related crop, indica. We identified multiple QTLs that overlapped with regions under selection during the evolution of weedy BHA rice and some candidate genes possibly underlying the evolution weediness traits in BHA. We showed that QTLs detected with ancestor-descendant crosses are more likely to be involved in the evolution of weediness traits than those detected from crosses of more diverged taxa.
