Abstract

Oryza alta Swallen is an important germplasm for rice resistance breeding; however, its CCDD genome (2n = 48) resulted in low crossability when the wild rice was crossed with O. sativa and restricted the success of transferring the desirable traits into cultivated rice. Induction of polyploidy is an efficient way for overcoming the low crossability among different species. A new O. alta line, Huaye 5, was developed by our group in 2016, which had high fertility (64.93%) and photoperiod-insensitive. Huaye 5 was used to induce auto-allotetraploidy using tissue culture in the present study. The tissue culture system was established by comparing five basic media (N6, B5, MS, NB and MB), two hormones (2,4-D and 6-BA) for induction and two differentiation media (MS and NB), and then induced auto-allotetraploid in the wild rice line by colchicine. The medium and hormone combinations of NB + 2,4-D (2.5 mg/L) + 6-BA (1.0 mg/L) produced the induction rate of 20%, and MS medium was found to be a suitable medium for callus induction with a differentiation rate of 10.15%, and the treatment of 600 mg/L colchicine for 24 h was the best protocol for inducing auto-allotetraploid. Subsequently, auto-allotetraploid plants (2n = 96) were obtained in the present study and their ploidy levels were detected by using flow cytometry, stomata size and chromosomes count methods. Many inclusions in the parenchyma cells surrounding vascular bundle were observed in auto-allotetraploid rice compared to the parent. We developed a new germplasm from O. alta, and established a protocol of in vitro induction of auto-allotetraploid, which can be used for crossing with autotetraploid rice.

Key message

We have successfully established a protocol for the in vitro induction of auto-allotetraploid in Oryza alta, which can be used to cross with autotetraploid or neo-tetraploid rice.
