Application: Opening the African rice diversity
The O. sativa x O. glaberrima sterility barrier hampers full use of
interspecific lines in breeding programs
• Although O. sativa x O. glaberrima introgression lines (like
CSSLs) can be fertile, they generally produce
fertile
+/- sterile hybrids with O. sativa
• Sterility hampers full use of African rice for breeding
interspecific bridges
19. iBridges: specifications
• Lines with significant content of donor (O. glaberrima) genome
• iBridges x O. sativa F1 hybrids are fertile (sativa-homozygous for S1)
direct use in breeding schemes (either MAS or classical; MARS)
• From many donor accessions broad access to the diversity available in
donor/wild species for plant breeding
• A Generation Challenge Program competitive grant (starting July 2007)

Backcross
• SAM for S1s allele (5%)
• Selection for fertility (50%)
BILs (BC1F4)
• SSR – SNP genotyping
• Evaluation for traits of interest
Selection for S1s leads to significant
increase of plant fertility
21. What the iBridges will offer
• 25 pools of fertile BC1F3-4 lines, compatible to O. sativa
40% of the lines are fertile vs < 5%!
• A DNA microarray capable of revealing O. sativa x O. glaberrima
polymorphisms (high throughput, high resolution genome scanning)
• G ti markers around the S1 sterility gene
Genetic k d th t ilit
allow to screen quickly interspecific lines for the presence
of O. sativa compatible allele of S1
• A well-described technology for developing additional iBridges between
well described
O. sativa and its other AA-genome (wild) relatives, to provide a broad
access of the genetic diversity in the AA species complex
• A physical map of the O sativa x O glaberrima sterility “genes”
O. O. genes
allow to develop even more efficient strategies for future selection of materials
The approach could improve significantly the access to and
the use of the genetic diversity available in African rice
22. 3. Genomic resources for gene discovery
g y
• T-DNA and Tos17 mutants
• Nested Association Mapping
Massive gene discovery platform
New Generation Sequencing technologies will make these
resources even more valuable
29. 4. Applying gene discovery to selection
• Marker-Assisted Selection can fasten (not always) the breeding
process
• Particulary valuable for traits that are difficult or expensive or
time-consuming to evaluate
• N used i routine by private companies

• Example: Rice hoja blanca virus (MADR, Fedearroz) (2007-2011)
