Identification of the Cold-Related Genes COLD11 and OsCTS11 via BSA-seq and Fine Mapping at the Rice Seedling Stage.

ABSTRACT: Cold stress has a significantly negative effect on the growth, development, and yield of rice. However, the genetic basis for the differences in the cold tolerance of Xian/indica and Geng/japonica rice seedlings is still largely unknown. In this study, an RIL population was generated by crossing of the cold-tolerant japonica variety Nipponbare and the cold-sensitive indica variety WD16343 for BSA-seq analysis, and a major cold tolerance QTL qCTS11 was identified on chromosome 11. This locus was narrowed to the 584 kb region through fine mapping. Sequence alignment and expression analysis identified the cloned gene COLD11 and a novel cold-related gene OsCTS11. According to the reported functional variation of COLD11, Nipponbare (TCG + 3GCG)×2 presented more GCG repeats in the 1st exon than
