Genetic Analysis and Fine Mapping of QTLs for Stigma Exsertion Rate in Rice.

ABSTRACT: Stigma exsertion rate (SER) is a crucial trait that influences the seed production of hybrid rice by determining the outcrossing ability of male sterile lines (MSLs). However, the molecular genetic mechanisms underlying SER are still poorly understood. In this study, we identified 14 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from B805D-MR-16-8-3 (B805D) and Hua6S. Two major QTLs, qSE1 and qSE9, were validated for their effects in the residual heterozygous line (RHL) background. The RHL carrying homozygous qSE1 region from Hua6S increased dual stigma exsertion rate (DSE) by 14.67% and 15.04%, and increased total stigma exsertion rate (TSE) by 11.73% and 13.04%, in F₁₀ and F₁₁ progeny, respectively. Conversely, the RHL carry
