Title: Field-based high throughput phenotyping rapidly identifies genomic regions controlling yield components in rice

Abstract

In order to ensure food security in the face of population growth, decreasing water and land for agriculture, and increasing climate variability, crop yields must increase faster than the current rates. Increased yields will require implementing novel approaches in genetic discovery and breeding. We demonstrate the potential of field-based high throughput phenotyping (HTP) on a large recombinant population of rice to identify genetic variation underlying important traits. We find that detecting quantitative trait loci (QTL) with HTP phenotyping is as accurate and effective as traditional labor- intensive measures of flowering time, height, biomass, grain yield, and harvest index. Furthermore, genetic mapping in this population, derived from a cross of an modern cultivar (IR64) with a landrace (Aswina), identified four alleles with negative effect on grain yield that are fixed in IR64, demonstrating the potential for HTP of large populations as a strategy for the second green revolution.

Figure 1 Figure 1: (A) Tractor based HTP platform with eight sets of canopy sensors mounted on a 24 m boom. (B) Experimental design: each horizontal bar represents a repeated planting cohort from sowing to harvest, with the range of plot heading dates (80% of plants flowered) represented by thicker bars. Verticalmore » lines indicate HTP sampling dates. These are plotted over mean daily air temperature (second y axis) during the growing season. (C) Genetic correlations (r2) between two pairs of manual and HTP traits over time. Correlations for each HTP sampling date (hash marks on x-axis) and cohort are represented by loess-smoothed lines and shaded 95% confidence intervals. See Fig. S2 for correlations between each HTP and manual traits, for each sampling date for every HTP trait, in every cohort.« less
