High-Quality Genomes and High-Density Genetic Map Facilitate the Identification of Genes From a Weedy Rice.

ABSTRACT: Genes have been lost or weakened from cultivated rice during rice domestication and breeding. Weedy rice (Oryza sativa f. spontanea) is usually recognized as the progeny between cultivated rice and wild rice and is also known to harbor an gene pool for rice breeding. Therefore, identifying genes from weedy rice germplasms is an important way to break the bottleneck of rice breeding. To discover genes from weedy rice germplasms, we constructed a genetic map based on w-hole-genome sequencing of a F₂ population derived from the cross between LM8 and a cultivated rice variety. We further identified 31 QTLs associated with 12 important agronomic traits and revealed that ORUFILM03g000095 gene may play an important role in grain length regulation and participate in
