Enhanced rice breeding with GLR1_CAPS marker for glabrous hull selection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rice is the primary source of calories for a large portion of the global population. Most rice hulls are of the trichome-type and produce dust, which can cause respiratory allergies and environmental concerns during handling. By contrast, glabrous-type hulls reduce storage volume and minimise dust, making processing cleaner and more eco-friendly. Despite the advantages of glabrous rice as a breeding resource, no molecular markers are available for the effective selection of this trait.

Results

In this study, we developed a novel cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker specifically designed to select glabrous hulls in rice. Using the sequence information of the Kompetitive Allele-Specific Polymerase Chain Reaction (KASP) marker KJ05_001, closely linked
