Abstract

Previously, novel cytoplasmic male-sterility (CMS) caused by DCGMS cytoplasm was discovered in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) introduced from Uzbekistan. We performed extensive progeny tests and identified two fertility restorer lines (‘R171’ and ‘R121’) for this new CMS. Two F1 hybrid populations were self-pollinated and backcrossed to produce F2 and BC populations. Inheritance patterns of male-sterility in segregating populations varied depending on paternal lines. Segregation of male-sterility in F2 populations originating from the cross between MS19 and R121 showed that a single locus was involved in fertility restoration. However, populations originating from the cross between MS15 and R171 showed the involvement of more than one restorer-of-fertility genes. The single fertility restorer locus identified in the cross between MS19 and R121 was designated Rfd1 locus. Bulked segregant analysis was performed using RAPD and AFLP, which identified one marker each. Both RAPD and AFLP markers were converted into simple PCR-based co-dominant markers after their isolated flanking sequences were analyzed. Indels 773-bp and 67-bp in length were identified between two Rfd1 allele-linked flanking sequences of the RAPD and AFLP fragments, respectively, then utilized to develop simple PCR markers. In addition, we prove that the newly identified Rfd1 locus is independent of the Rfo locus, another radish fertility restorer for CMS caused by Ogura cytoplasm.
