Abstract
AbstractAlkaline stress causes injuries to rice seedlings in many parts of the world and is therefore an important factor affecting rice production in such areas. In this study, we preliminarily located quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for survival days of seedlings (SDS) and the concentrations of Na+ and K+ in shoots (SNC and SKC) and roots (RNC and RKC) under alkaline stress using an F2:3 population, which was derived from a cross between Caidao and WD20342 with 151 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of seven QTLs were detected. Of these QTLs, qSNC3 had the largest effect, which explained 21.24% of the total phenotypic and is a major QTL. Next, a mapping population consisting of 190 BC2F2 plants was constructed using WD20342 as a donor parent to verify qSNC3. As a result, qSNC3 was delimited to an 81.7‐kb region between markers RM1221 and RM4404. In this region, LOC_Os03 g62500 and LOC_Os03 g62620 exhibited different expression between Caidao and WD20342 under alkaline stress. These results provide a basis for identifying genes related to alkaline tolerance in rice.
