Journal ArticleDOI
QTL-seq: rapid mapping of quantitative trait loci in rice by whole genome resequencing of DNA from two bulked populations.
Hiroki Takagi,Akira Abe,Kentaro Yoshida,Shunichi Kosugi,Satoshi Natsume,Chikako Mitsuoka,Aiko Uemura,Hiroe Utsushi,Muluneh Tamiru,Shohei Takuno,Hideki Innan,Liliana M. Cano,Sophien Kamoun,Ryohei Terauchi +13 more
TL;DR: Simulation study showed that QTL-seq is able to detect QTLs over wide ranges of experimental variables, and the method can be generally applied in population genomics studies to rapidly identify genomic regions that underwent artificial or natural selective sweeps.
Journal ArticleDOI
MutMap accelerates breeding of a salt-tolerant rice cultivar
Hiroki Takagi,Muluneh Tamiru,Akira Abe,Kentaro Yoshida,Aiko Uemura,Hiroki Yaegashi,Tsutomu Obara,Kaori Oikawa,Hiroe Utsushi,Eiko Kanzaki,Chikako Mitsuoka,Satoshi Natsume,Shunichi Kosugi,Hiroyuki Kanzaki,Hideo Matsumura,Naoya Urasaki,Sophien Kamoun,Ryohei Terauchi +17 more
TL;DR: The hst1 mutant was used to breed a salt-tolerant variety named ‘Kaijin’, which differs from Hitomebore by only 201 singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and production of this salt-Tolerant mutant line ready for delivery to farmers took only two years using the approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
MutMap+: Genetic Mapping and Mutant Identification without Crossing in Rice
Rym Fekih,Hiroki Takagi,Muluneh Tamiru,Akira Abe,Satoshi Natsume,Hiroki Yaegashi,Shailendra Sharma,Shiveta Sharma,Hiroyuki Kanzaki,Hideo Matsumura,Hiromasa Saitoh,Chikako Mitsuoka,Hiroe Utsushi,Aiko Uemura,Eiko Kanzaki,Shunichi Kosugi,Kentaro Yoshida,Liliana M. Cano,Sophien Kamoun,Ryohei Terauchi +19 more
TL;DR: A versatile extension of MutMap, that identifies causal mutations by comparing SNP frequencies of bulked DNA of mutant and wild-type progeny of M3 generation derived from selfing of an M2 heterozygous individual, that is potentially useful for gene isolation in crops that are recalcitrant to artificial crosses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural basis of pathogen recognition by an integrated HMA domain in a plant NLR immune receptor.
Abbas Maqbool,H. Saitoh,Marina Franceschetti,Clare E. M. Stevenson,Aiko Uemura,Hiroyuki Kanzaki,Sophien Kamoun,Ryohei Terauchi,Mark J. Banfield +8 more
TL;DR: The structural basis for direct recognition of AVR-Pik, an effector from the rice blast pathogen, by the rice intracellular NLR immune receptor Pik is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
MutMap-Gap: whole-genome resequencing of mutant F2 progeny bulk combined with de novo assembly of gap regions identifies the rice blast resistance gene Pii
Hiroki Takagi,Aiko Uemura,Hiroki Yaegashi,Muluneh Tamiru,Akira Abe,Chikako Mitsuoka,Hiroe Utsushi,Satoshi Natsume,Hiroyuki Kanzaki,Hideo Matsumura,Hiromasa Saitoh,Kentaro Yoshida,Liliana M. Cano,Sophien Kamoun,Ryohei Terauchi +14 more
TL;DR: The MutMap-Gap method, which involves delineating a candidate region harboring a mutation of interest using the recently reported MutMap method, followed by de novo assembly, alignment, and identification of the mutation within genome gaps, should prove useful for cloning genes that exhibit significant structural variations.
