QTL Analysis Revealed One Major Genetic Factor Inhibiting Lesion Elongation by Bacterial Blight (Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae) from a japonica Cultivar Koshihikari in Rice.

ABSTRACT: Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a pathogen that has ravaged the rice industry as the causal agent of bacterial blight (BB) diseases in rice. Koshihikari (KO), an elite japonica cultivar, and ARC7013 (AR), an indica cultivar, are both susceptible to Xoo. Their phenotypic characteristics reveal that KO has shorter lesion length than that of AR. The F₂ population from KO × AR results in continuous distribution of lesion length by inoculation of an Xoo race (T7147). Consequently, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping of the F₂ population is conducted, covering 12 chromosomes with 107 simple sequence repeat (SSR) and insertion/deletion (InDel) genetic markers. Three QTLs are identified on chromosomes 2, 5, and 10. Of
