- This study focused on genomic data to enhance targeted breeding in rice by characterizing haplotypes at the SD1 locus, crucial for controlling plant height.
- Six SNPs were identified to differentiate various haplotypes in US rice germplasm, leading to the development of KASP assays for efficient large-scale breeding applications.
- The research confirmed the presence of three SD1 alleles in US rice, including two semidwarf alleles, which are vital for marker-assisted selection in breeding programs.
Background: Aroma is an important grain quality trait in rice, controlled by mutations within the BADH2 gene. The trait is simply inherited, and its importance in variety development makes it a practical target for marker-assisted selection in applied breeding programs. The predominant functional mutation within BADH2, an 8-bp indel, can be reliably detected using a PCR-based assay, but the available assays and associated genotyping platforms are insufficient for large-scale applied molecular breeding applications and are not compatible with outsourcing genotyping services.
