Marker-Assisted Selection of Trees with <i>MALE STERILITY 1</i> in <i>Cryptomeria japonica</i> D. Don

The practical use of marker-assisted selection (MAS) is limited in conifers because of the difficulty with developing markers due to a rapid decrease in linkage disequilibrium, the limited genomic information available, and the diverse genetic backgrounds among the breeding material collections.

description The practical use of marker-assisted selection (MAS) is limited in conifers because of the difficulty with developing markers due to a rapid decrease in linkage disequilibrium, the limited genomic information available, and the diverse genetic backgrounds among the breeding material collections. First, in this study, two families were produced by artificial crossing between two male-sterile trees, ‘Shindai11’ and ‘Shindai12’, and a plus tree, ‘Suzu-2’ (<i>Ms1</i>/<i>ms1</i>) (S11-S and S12-S families, respectively). The segregation ratio between the male-sterile and male-fertile trees did not deviate significantly from the expected 1:1 ratio in either family. These results clearly suggested that the male-sterile gene of ‘Shindai11’ and ‘Shindai12’ is <i>MALE STERILITY 1</i> (<i>MS1</i>). Since it is difficult to understand the relative positions of each marker, due to the lack of a linkage map which all the closely linked markers previously reported are mapped on, we constructed a partial linkage map of the region encompassing <i>MS1</i> using the S11-S and S12-S families. For the S11-S and S12-S families, 19 and 18 markers were mapped onto the partial linkage maps of the <i>MS1</i> region, respectively. There was collinearity (conserved gene order) between the two partial linkage maps. Two markers (CJt020762_<i>ms1-1</i> and reCj19250_2335) were mapped to the same position as the <i>MS1</i> locus on both maps. Of these markers, we used CJt020762 for the MAS in this study. According to the MAS results for 650 trees from six prefectures of Japan (603 trees from breeding materials and 47 trees from the Ishinomaki natural population), five trees in Niigata Prefecture and one tree in Yamagata Prefecture had heterozygous <i>ms1-1</i>, and three trees in Miyagi Prefecture had heterozygous <i>ms1-2</i>. The results obtained in this study suggested that <i>ms1-1</i> and <i>ms1-2</i> have different geographical distributions. Since MAS can be used effectively to reduce the labor and time required for selection of trees with a male-sterile gene, the research should help ensure that the quantity of breeding materials will increase to assist future tree-breeding efforts.
