Genetic Analysis of Gene Related Length of Leaf Hair in Korean Weedy Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Hairs on the leaf are an important agronomic characteristic for rice growth and farming. The segregation ratio ofpubescence in the F2 population showed that the pubescence on the leaf is controlled by a single dominant gene. Fine mapping for thegene was carried out by producing an Indel (insertion-deletion) primer based on BSA-Seq data. Results of the analysis revealed withinthe candidate site the presence of HL6, a published pubescence gene. By haplotype analysis of HL6 in the core-collection data, SNPswere found in HL6’s exons between the plants. These sequence variations can be useful for marker-assisted selection.
