Identification of a set of RFLP probes for subspecies differentiation in Oryza sativa L

Sixty-eight indica japonica tester-differentiating RFLP probes were tested in seven indica and seven japonica varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.) with four enzyme digestions (EcoR1, EcoR5, Hind3 and Dra1). Twenty-one DNA clones were isolated as indica japonica subspecies-differentiating probes. A se...

Description
Summary:Sixty-eight indica japonica tester-differentiating RFLP probes were tested in seven indica and seven japonica varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.) with four enzyme digestions (EcoR1, EcoR5, Hind3 and Dra1). Twenty-one DNA clones were isolated as indica japonica subspecies-differentiating probes. A set of 13 probes was established as core probes for subspecies differentiation and a pooled blotting analysis was carried out to facilitate the application of RFLP in rice genetics and breeding practice. A dendrogram of 12 wide-compatibility varieties was constructed based on RFLPs detected by 13 core probes with single enzyme digestions. It was speculated that most RFLPs of indica japonica differentiating probes were generated by insertions/deletions, which may be of great significance for the origin and differentiation of subspecies in Oryza sativa L.
