Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food crop globally. Brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stål, BPH) is the most destructive insect that threatens rice production annually. More than 40 BPH resistance genes have been identified so far, which provide valuable gene resources for marker-assisted breeding against BPH. However, it is still urgent to evaluate rice germplasms and to explore more new wide-spectrum BPH resistance genes to combat newly occurring virulent BPH populations. To this end, 560 germplasm accessions were collected from the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), and their resistance to current BPH population of China was examined. A total of 105 highly resistant materials were identified. Molecular screening of BPH resistance genes in these rice germplasms was conducted by developing specific functional molecular markers of eight cloned resistance genes. Twenty-three resistant germplasms were found to contain none of the 8 cloned BPH resistance genes. These accessions also exhibited a variety of resistance mechanisms as indicated by an improved insect weight gain (WG) method, suggesting the existence of new resistance genes. One new BPH resistance gene, Bph44(t), was identified in rice accession IRGC 15344 and preliminarily mapped to a 0–2 Mb region on chromosome 4. This study systematically sorted out the corresponding relationships between BPH resistance genes and germplasm resources using a functional molecular marker system. Newly explored resistant germplasms will provide valualble donors for the identification of new resistance genes and BPH resistance breeding programs.
