The gelatinization temperature of rice is an important factor in determining the eating and cooking quality, and it affects consumer preference. The alkali digestion value (ADV) is one of the main methods used to test the quality of rice and has a high correlation with the gelatinization temperature. For the development of high-quality rice, it is important to understand the genetic basis of palatability-related traits, and QTL analysis is a statistical method linking phenotypic data and genotype data, and is an effective method to explain the genetic basis of variation in complex traits. QTL mapping related to ADV of brown and milled rice was performed using the 120 Cheongcheong/Nagdong double haploid (CNDH) line. As a result, 12 QTLs related to ADV were detected, and 20 candidate genes were selected from the RM588-RM1163 region of chromosome 6 through screening by gene function analysis. The comparison of the relative expression level of candidate genes showed that OsSS1q6 is highly expressed in CNDH lines with high ADV in both brown rice and milled rice. In addition, OsSS1q6 has high homology with starch synthase 1 protein, and interact with various starch biosynthesis-related proteins, such as GBSSII, SBE, and APL. Therefore, we suggest that OsSS1q6 identi ed through QTL mapping could be one of the various genes involved in the gelatinization temperature of rice by regulating starch biosynthesis. This study can be used as basic data for breeding high-quality rice and provides a new genetic resource that can increase the palatability of rice.18 hours, and spreadability and transparency were investigated. The value of digestion of brown and milled rice was evaluated on a scale of 1-7 according to the survey criteria of the International Rice Research Institute (Table S1), and all experiments were repeated 3 times.
Measurement of amylose, amylopectin, protein, and lipid contentThe levels of amylose, amylopectin, protein, and lipid content of seed were measured using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS, AN-820, Kett Electric Laboratory, Tokyo, Japan). Near infrared spectroscopy (FOSS NIR Systems 6500, USA) was performed three times.
Construction of genetic map and QTL mapping related to the ADVWindow QTL cartographer 2.5 was used to analyze the QTLs related to the ADV, and a genetic map created using the 120 CNDH line in the Plant Molecular Breeding Laboratory at Kyungpook National University was used. The CNDH genetic map was constructed using Mapmaker version 3.0, and 788 SSR markers were used for polymorphism analysis. Among them, 423 SSR markers showed polymorphism in their parent cultivars, Cheongcheong and Nagdong, and nally, 143 SSR markers were used to construct the CNDH genetic map. For QTL analysis, the composite interval mapping (CIM) method applying the kosambi function was used, and the logarithm of the odds (LOD) value was set to 2.5. The nomenclature of the analyzed QTL was set according to the method proposed in (McCouch 2008).
