Development of"Xiangruan Zaogeng"National Day rice by molecular marker assisted selection
In order to obtain high-quality fragrant and soft National Day rice suitable for cultivation in Shanghai,"Songzaoxiang No.1"and"Shangshi Zaozaoxiang"crossed to produce F1,which was self-crossed till F4,accompanied simultaneously by soft rice gene molecular marker assisted screening and field agronomic trait selection,producing ultimately,a new soft rice line with high-quality fragrant,named as"Xiangruan Zaogeng".Compared with"Songzaoxiang No.1",the maturation of"Xiangruan Zaogeng"was 15 d ays early,its yield was also increased by 84.9 kg/mu(~666.67 m2),entering the market earlier and getting better economic benefits.The quality testing results showed that the amylose content of"Zaogeng"was 9.7%,gel consistency was 80 mm,and have aroma genes,belonging to high-quality fragrant soft rice.The successful breeding of the"Xiangruan Zaogeng"lays the foundation for the promotion of early maturing fragrant and soft rice in Shanghai.
